“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’” crazy how much Mamdani speaks my language

Trump should show up here at the L.A. County ballot processing center because he’d learn within five minutes this is democracy in action, not some conspiracy.

If everyone leaves “60 Minutes,” maybe another network can hire them all and start a new show “One Hour,” same old producers and reporters.

Stephen Colbert ended his final episode of The Late Show while singing "Hello, Goodbye" with Paul McCartney on the Ed Sullivan stage that made The Beatles mega stars.

Colbert is both a mensch and an actual genius. One of one. He and @maddow.bsky.social are the two best broadcasters of our time; truly in their own category. I'm angry and sad the president and the feckless suits cancelled the show but also know it's not the end.

🧵New poll has @xavierbecerra.bsky.social in the lead for CA governor with Steve Hilton in 2nd place. Pushing undecideds maintains the lead, and lifts Steyer into third over Bianco. This suggests that if Steyer wants a shot at governor, he should attack Hilton, not Becerra.

I just want to point out that the WHCD took place in a ballroom. Holding it in a different ballroom wouldn’t make it safer. The administration chose not to designate the WHCD as a “National Special Security Event.” That’s the difference.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Actually, Americans are just like you. ~20-30% of them genuinely support fascism, as in ~every 🇪🇺 country. You are just more fortunate to have political institutions & a multiparty system that prevent that 20-30% from fully capturing the center-right party, becoming 51%, & controlling the government.

Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.
