democrats in general - and ones with 2028 aspirations especially - should, imo, be thinking about how to answer the question: "what are you going to do to make these people pay?"

lol wild how the US went from "support the troops" for 20 years to "disabled veterans are welfare queens" being the new slop line

do they think veterans and active duty and reservists dont talk to each other? how are they gonna do a fascism without a military

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 2d

Exclusive: Military veterans are swamping the U.S. government with dubious disability claims that are exploiting the country’s sacred commitment to compensate those harmed in the line of duty, according to a Post investigation.

How some veterans exploit $193 billion VA program, due to lax controls

The Department of Veterans Affairs spends billions on dubious and even fraudulent disabilities benefits. Meanwhile, some deserving cases wait.

Thinking how Stephen Bannon got fired in 2017 because Trump got mad that people were saying he's the real president. Probably wouldn't work with Miller because they only feed Trump AI slop now. They got him in the Professor X rig watching videos of himself leading troops in battle

Yeah this strikes me as someone who is triangulating on social media to win people to their side, not necessarily an ironclad belief

Look I know this isn’t an original observation but imagine going back in time ten years and telling literally anyone “the President posted this”

Trump is posting up a storm on Truth Social right now

Trump posted an image showing Democrats like AOC, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Joe and Jill Biden.

The text: THE PARTY OF HATE, EVIL, AND SATAN
pe
The Democratic Party is
Dead!
They have no leadership!
no message!
no hope!
their only message for America is to hate Trump!

As someone who worked on a union campaign at a museum I have so many thoughts on this stereotypical, lazy mode of thinking about class as tied directly to level of education

Hi! We've made the Put This In Your Ear Object. It is the ideal size and shape to put in your ear, feels really nice when you put it in your ear, and can be used to clean out earwax, by putting it in your ear. Just one thing, though. Under NO circumstances should you put this in your ear.

Ezra Klein: There's a Rick & Morty quote I really like.

Ezra Klein: It goes like this, "Why would a pop-tart want to live inside a toaster? That would be like the scariest place for them to live."

Ezra Klein: Because in the episode they go to a neighborhood where everyone is a pop-tart and they live in toaster-houses.

@jessicavalenti.bsky.social is very right that Ezra Klein is very wrong, both morally and strategically, with this argument that throwing half the population under the bus (the half that already leans more Democratic).

Ezra Klein is Wrong About Abortion

Abortion *is* a big tent issue

Not to put too fine a point on it, but: if you don't feel like you get to draw the line as a public thinker, why are you clutching so hard to the public pen? What do you think it's *for?*

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 10d

"I don't get to draw the line" — you are a wildly influential journalist with an audience of millions, you absolutely do get to draw the line!

John M. Cunningham @jmcunning.bsky.social · 10d

IMO, the most revealing part is Klein wrestling with the question of where "the line" is (between acceptable and unacceptable politics). Realizing that what he considered past the line is now the GOP mainstream doesn't make him commit harder to fighting it. He wonders if he needs to move the line.
