It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that

You're not going to educate the 19% of Americans who haven't made up their minds or the 66% who disagree with you by pretending AB Hernandez & Lia Thomas don't exist.

AB Hernandez, a trans woman, won the high jump and triple jump at the California high school state championships for the 2nd year in a row. She placed 3rd in long jump (in 2025 she placed 2nd).

Pew Research survey from February, 2025, showing 66% of Americans believe trans athletes should compete on teams that match the sex they were assigned at birth. 15% disagree. 19% had no opinion.

The 'othering' of trans by the right is straight-line descended from what Nazis did to Jews. But your flip 'Don't believe your lying eyes' dismissal isn't going to educate or change the minds of the 66% of America that disagrees with you about trans girls in sports. ktla.com/news/califor...

Early-Kirk pimped libertarianism for his secular bazillionaire funders. In 2021, Kirk went hard for theocratic Dominionism. Kirk was never rejected by the GOP, just ❤️ed by different wings of it. Hasan? His Dems/Gaza/Israel takes?🔥 His Russia takes? 🤡 His drama-grifter persona? Streamer SOP

“America doesn’t have to constantly police every region of the world. Our interest... is in not going to war with Iran. It would be a huge distraction of resources. It would be massively expensive to our country.” -- JD Vance, 2024 www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPlq...

This is 48 minutes long, and well worth that investment of time: a clear, detailed, easy to follow review that matches my understanding of the case (backed up with a lot of additional facts and expertise I don’t have).

Texas found $11 billion for troops and razor wire at the border and migrant buses, even with oil-billionaire tax cuts. But its coffers went dry for warning sirens to confront a climate crisis it claims is made up How Texas flood exposed warped priorities. My column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Conservatism consists of one proposition: There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. Frank Wilhoit (the classical music composer, not the political scientist) slate.com/business/202...

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

What was "mocking and attacking" in the TPM essay? I've seem some critics of 'identity politics' mock/attack trans activists as naive, etc... but Josh did none of that in the above.

InfoWars is being sold off to repay Sandy Hook families. Great! But Alex has been steering InfoWars listeners away from his own store to a front company set up by his daddy for supplements. For months. fight.fudgie.org/search/show/... 1/2

Here's the video of Trump calling for the police to have "one violent day" because right now "police aren’t allowed to do their job." He's also repeating the lie that you can steal anything up to $950 in California.

Vance and his campaign are trying to move on from pet eating, instead now demanding the media cover “skyrocketing” communicable diseases in Springfield. Except that’s also a xenophobic lie. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

Tim Walz has travelled to China 30 times. His knowledge would seem invaluable in light of the universal agreement in DC that China & east Asia must be the focus of US foreign policy. The Idiocracy Party is attacking him for it.

My favorite part of the West Wing fantasies about replacing Biden is the idea that there wouldn’t immediately be a new fatal flaw with whoever replaced him.
