I hope that Trump serves exactly 4 years of this term.

I just realized how much Cenk reminds me of Tulsi, the "liberal" who went on stage to proclaim how bad the Democrats are, who subsequently ran to the least good-faith right wing talking heads to kiss the ring. He's much less of a grifter, but the similarities are there.

I'm convinced that the mythical "Silent Trump Voter" is really just everyone's relative who never wants to talk about politics because it's complicated and they don't like the feeling of being wrong, who would rather just vote for the guy with easy reactionary slogans and talking points.

Trump world is trying to gaslight everybody into believing he won in a landslide. Don’t let it work. Race was decided by about 225K votes in three states. His popular vote margin is one of the smallest in history. He has no mandate & buyers remorse is already setting in. Keep up the fight. 💙

This is a very important point. Please let everyone know.
Post by John Nichols:

Harris is now winning a higher percentage of the popular vote than Trump in 2016 or 2020.

Trump 2016: 46.1%

Trump 2020: 46.8%

Harris 2024: 48.4%

Trump didn’t win a “landslide” in 2024. In fact, his victory margin is one of the smallest in US history.

Well, isn’t that convenient? Musk gets named to the fake department of DOGE, and suddenly NASA’s future is up for debate—just as SpaceX is poised to cash in. Funny how “efficiency” seems to mean redirecting public funds straight into private pockets.

I felt cautiously optimistic that Gaetz wouldn't actually get confirmed. Unfortunately, he really just set the bar at "child sex trafficker" and we're probably doomed to accept literally anyone who comes up short of that.

Stay vigilant while Trump selects his new AG. Starting with an outrageous ask as the anchor is Trump 101 . Obviously it’s a relief that the alleged sex trafficker won’t get the role, but trust me, the next pick will be just as unqualified and spiteful.

A lot of the positions people like RFK jr. take (anti-vax, anti-pasteurization etc.) get described as “controversial.” They’re not. There is no controversy. This is long-settled science. The correct term is “stupid.”

I’m trying to be very intentional about how I cover and talk about current events because I don’t think constantly dooming helps anyone. That being said, yeah we’re in a real “NOT GREAT BOB” moment and it’s bit of a waiting game rn. Not much to do besides look at this cabinet picks and deep sigh.

Don't get me wrong, RFK Jr. for Sec. of HHS is /nutty/, but we /do/ need to improve our food quality standards and maybe, just maybe, Republicans will listen if the words come from his mouth. Higher food standards and getting rid of high fructose corn syrup is inflationary, btw.

Trying to imagine what Republicans would be saying if a Democratic president's nominee for ATTORNEY GENERAL, the top law enforcement official in the US, was trying to suppress a report that may prove his sexual misconduct with a minor. Would a single minute go by where they wouldn't yell about it?

There is NO comparison between a few chronically online conspiracy theorists on the left and the leader on the right generating the conspiracy theories and not accepting the 2020 election. Well, maybe a comparison, in the fact that he is also a chronically online conspiracy theorist.

once again thinking about the fact that this is all just OUT THERE and we can only see it through the eyes of telescopes
The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.A massive cloud of gas and dust is seen in dark, dusty red, with its outer portions a translucent, ethereal gray. Several stars and distant galaxies are scattered throughout the image.A circular-shaped nebula with a complex structure. On the circle’s exterior, particularly on the left side of the image, are curtains of material glowing orange like fire. Interior to this outer shell is a ring of mottled filaments in bright pink, studded with clumps and knots. A greenish loop extends from the upper right of the ring into the central cavity. Translucent wisps of blue, green, and red appear throughout the image.The star cluster Pismis 24 lies within the much larger emission nebula called NGC 6357, located about 8,000 light-years from Earth. The cluster is seen here above a small portion of the nebula. The gas below the stars glows through ionization caused by intense ultraviolet radiation from the massive young stars within the cluster. The strong radiation and stellar winds from from these blazing, blue-white stars also pushes the nebular material outward, creating one of many low-density bubbles within NGC 6357.
