If an amendment to your constitution results in children routinely being shot in school then it's time to amend it again.

JD Vance’s not so subtle point is that the United States belongs to white Christian men, and the rest of us who don’t meet all three qualifications only belong here insofar as our betters choose to tolerate us.

I'm begging @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social to run against Musk. He's an unpopular and creepy white nationalist asshole billionaire whose approval rating in most polls is 20 points underwater. You can mock Paxton for needing to be bailed out *and* mock the puppet master pulling his strings.

Personally, I think what really threatens American Jews is insisting our safety is dependent on denying what the whole world sees, that the Israeli gov committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Force people to think protecting Jews means denying reality, and they will stop caring about us.

from Melissa Braunstein: "Nobody waged war against civilians. Lies like this from authority figures set dangerous things in motion that negatively affect *American* Jews."

Both the mainstream media and the gop (and dem leadership) bought into this notion that Trumps squeaker of a win over Harris was this giant sweeping mandate for conservatism and Trumpism. It never was. He won against a Democratic Party that has spent multiple decades hobbling itself. That’s it.

This is exactly right. Think of what happened these last few years with gerrymandering. Republicans have been pushing the envelope in red states for more than a decade now, but as soon as Democrats pushed back they began to hesitate.

strategic political capture of the court has, for 40 years, been a one-way ratchet. among other things, this has inculcated a sense among conservatives that they can act with virtual impunity. showing them that their opponents will play hardball is a necessary first step toward a better status quo.

“As your European customers, we are watching you.” Yeah, that’s the problem. You pay Musk money and use his website. You see him help your enemy Russia against your partner Ukraine, and you keep paying him money and using his website. That communicates approval or indifference. It’s encouragement.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

Again, imagine if the national media covered American politics through the lens of which party actually competently staffed & governed the country when it was in power, instead of covering it as horse races, theater, & grading on a curve for the One Special Boy & the far right authoritarian party.

Right, it turns out that instead of letting the Republicans set the terms of the debate, you can simply tell them and their enablers in the media to cram it. El-Sayed has been doing the same thing. It's long overdue.

For those pushing Dems to start making a stink about Elon's fundraising @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social is now doing that.

Josh Turek vs. Elon Musk.
Working-Class Underdog vs. World’s Richest Man. 🥊💥🥊

Who’s your money on?

For context: Elon Musk is unleashing a firehose of cash to boost vulnerable Republicans in the battle for the Senate majority, including my MAGA opponent here in Iowa.

Why’s he so focused on this race in particular, you ask?

Well, I’m what MAGA billionaires like Musk fear most:

A candidate who’s not a millionaire and isn’t trying to become one.
A leader with a well-calibrated moral compass and strength of character.
A senator who can’t be bought.
Basically, an honest and up-sitting public servant.

No doubt this has occurred to other bystanders as well, but it would seem that a handful of billionaires dropping $150 million into a single state's election in an attempt to defeat a wealth-tax initiative just about makes the entire case for a wealth-tax initiative.

Pundit overread of 2024 as the birth of a multiracial working class movement anchored around right wing nationalism was disastrous for this country. It helped encourage lots of elite capitulation and caused libs/Dems to trim their sails. If this election buries that myth there should be a reckoning.
