The American press looks even worse than normal when you see literally any alternative. The panelists on The View aren’t even good interviewers, but they easily made JD Vance worse than in any other interview since the 2024 campaign. It’s such an indictment on establishment media.

the thing that frustrates me most about Schumer’s stance is that it is impossible to deny that the actions of the leaders of the state of israel are one of the leading drivers of the resurgence of antisemitism rather than Israel serving as a haven for diaspora Jews, it serves as a risk amplifier

Sen. Chuck Schumer at Israel Day Parade: Jews need Israel due to the "constant anxiety" they have knowing "the place where they live could violently expel them at any moment—as happened again and again."

It's genuinely funny a 74 year old senator got played by the most obvious conman ever and is now posting passive aggressively like a pre-teen who hasn't learned subtlety yet.

Senator John Cornyn
@JohnCornyn
An old, but apt fable:
...
A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't help myself. It's my character." @Wikipedia

Worth noting that this is actually a meta-question-- it's not "what policy do you think is good?" It's "what policy do you think other, imaginary people would think is good?" This encourages the "Everyone Think Like a Pundit Rather Than as a Citizen" disease that plagues political commentary.

I don’t know why getting elected as a Democrat requires you to undergo some kind of lobotomy to remove emotions like “indignation” and “resolve.” As if voters would penalize you for asserting yourself and having the smallest modicum of self-respect.

I had really hoped progressives and the left had gotten past the Clinton/Biden belief that politics is really all about economics, and the right way to win political debates is to make the economy lines go in the right direction. But instead, we're doubling down on those ideas. "It's all prices!"
