Really weird how this app won't let me sarcastically quote post the Dem House Minority Whip--a terrible title, by the way--with a screenshot of her labels. 🤔 Says my internet connection is bad, but I can post this just fine...

BlueSky: Unable to connect. Please check your internet connection and try again

Me: That's not what your labels and list of top donors say.

@whipclark: House Democrats' message to the American people: We see you and your family. And we are fighting to lower costs, protect healthcare, and hold the crooks accountable.

I'm sick of these con artists in "left" "independent" media. The "journalist" that gave us Graham Platner is now manufacturing support for a Bernie run in 2028. You don't get to call yourself a journalist when you're acting like a political operative and selling failed strategies to the gullible.

@ryangrim: I do think this is an interesting idea. Bernie and AOC explicitly run as a ticket and Bernie says he'll do two years, pass Medicare for All, and retire...

It's wild seeing liberals celebrate DemSoc victories, while also expressing anger at Trump for being mean to US troops. It's almost like they have no ideology or core values. It's also very revealing that they feel comfortable supporting DemSocs, who are supposed to be anti-imperialists.

@pauleric70: You would never hear Presidents like Obama or Biden ever say something like this about our Military. What an absolute disgrace. 🤬

Trump: Only suckers and losers would enlist, go to sea on an aircraft carrier, and then complain and send their family nasty notes about our military. They weren't at sea long enough.

Seeing all the liberals rail against Luigi makes it clear that what they fear most is a population that rejects the legitimacy of the system they've built and who recognize that justice will not be obtained through the legal process. They're terrified of revolution because they know they won't win.

@explaintrade: The guy who opened fire at Comet Pizza because he'd cooked his brain online and believed they were a child sex trafficking hub was exactly as confident the people he was aiming at deserved it as Luigi Mangione, which is just one reason it's a bad idea to lionise vigilante murder.

Higher education in the US has been under assault since the 1970s. Imagine being a faculty member and thinking that this is a new phenomenon that started under Trump. How can someone be so ignorant about the history of their own profession?

@joelhs: Whatever else was wrong with the United States, we truly did have a higher education system that was the envy of the world. Now we’re lighting it on fire because some people are bored and racist.

@washingtonpost: There will probably be far fewer foreign students on college campuses nationwide this fall following the Trump administration’s crackdown on international visas.

My biggest issue with the current slate of DSA candidates is that none of them are running on actual socialism. It’s all mild SocDem policy. In fact, a bunch are running away from elements in the platform. One in IL is even opposed to defunding the police. What the hell kind of a socialist is that?

But other DSA candidates have distanced from the platform, instead of pivoting. On Monday, the DSA Fund brought several elected DSA members together for a call with reporters, to explain how their ideas worked in practice. Asked if they agreed with Workers Deserve More, Illinois state Sen. Rachel Ventura clarified that she didn’t want to cut funding from police.

“I would say that defunding the police is the opposite of democratic socialism,” she said. “We want government services to work for everybody. We don’t want abuse of power, right? So just defunding a government service is not the thing that stops abuse of power.”

This is why people stopped trusting "experts." No, our bodies didn't "win out" over the virus and our immune systems are not "taking it on." There are numerous studies that prove this is false, yet the endowed chair of public health at UMinn is saying it and this is what they're teaching students.

CIDRAP News: Is the COVID pandemic still going on?

Michael Osterholm: No, I think we can safely say that we are now adjusting into a more routine cycle of infection. And you can argue that in several ways. First of all, there's a much greater stability to the virus that we see now with so much background immunity in the population.

It’s similar to previous influenza pandemics, which were the hallmark pandemics we had prior to COVID. Clearly, they were situations where once a large portion of the population either got infected and died or got infected and recovered, there was a level of protection that, over time, basically won out over the virus itself.

That's why you still see the virus circulating, but in a way that, genetically, our body's immune systems are largely able to take on. So again, if you look at the flu pandemics of the past, in every instance they just kind of faded away over time and became a background endemic disease.

And today we are in a much more steady-state existence with COVID because of our preexisting immunity and the relative lack of genetic change to the virus. We haven't watched it go from the ancestral strain to Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, or Omicron, like we did in those first four years.

I keep seeing versions of this and I get the impression that people don't really understand what's happening. Within the party, DemSocs are contesting power, but the bigger struggle is ideological. Despite the fact that they're all capitalists, socialism itself is an existential threat to capitalism

@stephstephking: Will never stop being wild to me that establishment Dems saw these enthusiastic, insurgent DSA folks and instead of saying "you guys are a lil weird but the enemy of my enemy is my friend so LFG" they threw a crashout tantrum & had to be dragged away like a toddler in a McDonald's

As much as Platner himself is an abusive opportunist, his most vocal supporters are somehow even worse. Do not forgive these people and never forget all the things they said. This whole debacle has exposed "left independent media" for what it is: completely fraudulent and a giant grift.

How do you identify as a socialist and still end up thinking this? You just abandon principles and historical analysis to go with popular opinion because someone is electable?

@hecubian_devil: I’ll admit, the tattoo was extremely off-putting and initially made me backtrack on Platner, but when voters kept backing him and he kept polling well against Collins I was like “welp, I guess we’re in the post-taboo era so might as well stick with him,” which was an error

The fucking audacity of this guy. Pretending to be an objective journalist and conveniently ignoring the fact that he spent the better part of a year doing everything possible to prop up Platner's campaign.

@ryangrim: Platner’s source of strength was the people passionately committed to volunteer for him. On his campaign discord, people are sharing feelings of betrayal, heartbreak, and resignation. He has lost his base.

It no longer seems like a question of whether he will drop out, but when, and whether his campaign, by virtue of an overwhelming primary win, will be able to influence who replaces him.

You know, I can't help but remember what the Dems and the media did to Tara Reade, whose accusation against Biden was just as credible in 2020. Her mother had literally called into Larry King to ask what her daughter should do. Platner is absolutely guilty, and so was Biden. No consequences at all.

@greenwell: I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.

It doesn't sound like there's a deal at all. They have a tentative memorandum of understanding, which is very different from an actual deal. Nothing happens until the US follows through on its end of the bargain.

Iran says negotiations for a final ⁠deal will be ⁠held during a 60-day period
More details are emerging on the ceasefire agreement.

According to remarks carried by Tasnim news agency, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said negotiations for a final ⁠deal will be ⁠held during a 60-day period after verifying that the US implemented its commitments under the deal, including ending hostilities, lifting the blockade, and releasing assets.

Gharibabadi said that on Friday, the date set for the official ceremony, the two delegations will hold talks to determine the future arrangements for the negotiations.

He also said that Iran included all “important positions” in the draft of the memorandum of understanding, adding that the text will be published after the official ceremony scheduled for Friday.

“This memorandum of understanding does not mean trusting the enemy,” Gharibabadi said in remarks carried by Tasnim news agency. “We will monitor the implementation of US commitments,” he said.

Platner knew that it was a Nazi tattoo. Stop supporting Nazis.

Mr. Platner, she said, knew when they were dating years ago that the tattoo was a Nazi symbol, and that he called it “my Totenkopf.”

“I would never have known what that was,” she said. “He would joke about it being a Nazi tattoo.”

Ms. Fifield said he told her that he and other members of his unit selected the tattoo because “they were like a death unit, they were killers,” and saw a parallel between their unit and the Nazi Schutzstaffel, or S.S., unit, that used the skull-and-crossbones image.

“They literally, deliberately, selected it because it was relevant to their military unit,” she said.

Ms. McDonald shared with The New York Times what she said was a screenshot of a text message exchange with Ms. Gertner that started in the early hours of Aug. 27, 2025. Ms. Gertner had sent a message to a broader group, asking someone from the campaign to contact her, and Ms. McDonald offered to talk. In their conversation, Ms. Gertner told her about the messages, which she described as “sexting,” according to Ms. McDonald.

“The United States Senate is not a training ground for redemption,” Ms. McDonald said. “It is a place for proven leaders with moral clarity and integrity.”
