A season where he threw 250+ innings with an ERA over 4 and another when he went 17-13. These are the kind of beautiful pitching lines they took from us

This is corruption of the highest order. Susan Collins delivered millions in taxpayer dollars for a corrupt donor bankrolling her campaign, and then Donald Trump helped her cover it up. No wonder she voted with him 96% of the time and has rubberstamped his agenda to hurt Maine.

i don't believe talarico is a bigot. im pretty sure he isnt. but if he apparently "has to" answer bad faith questions in a way that appears to compromise on the rights of one group of people being repressed to get elected, it's fair to ask what else he will "have to" do once he's in office

The $5000 dividend thing is stupid and obviously a lie and I wish the media covered it accordingly, but, as much as Trump loves to break the law, I do not think the fake dividend proposal is illegal based on the statute people are sharing on here

This is ADL's solitary statement after Nazis won state elections in Germany for the first time since the Holocaust:

ADL
@ADL
Ed Sheeran’s fans came for a concert, not performative, biased and hateful anti-Israel “activism” from his opener, Macklemore.

Imagine being a Jewish or Israeli fan who came with family or friends to enjoy the show, only to be confronted with this hostility from the stage. Or feeling so unwelcome by the opening act that you leave early.

This isn’t new for Macklemore. He has a record of demonizing Israel and Israelis, falsely accusing Israel of genocide and engaging in antisemitic rhetoric and behavior.

This is completely unacceptable.

(with embedded video of Macklemore's remarks on Palestine at the Ed Sheeran MetLife concert)

I'll sometimes read a piece like TAH's and come away thinking that I don't agree with it overall but that it made some good points...but I was honestly a little surprised how thin the argument in this one was

Revealing post. Republican ghouls are good at charming reporters in private, so reporters think it’s just an act when they attack the press. But actually the charm routine they put on for reporters is the act, and it would be nice if we had a DC press corps that didn’t keep falling for it

Another reason to do scotus jurisdiction stripping plus creation of a constitutional court with final say on such matters. President AOC or Kamala or whoever gets to appoint the whole thing at the outset, so if there are a few mediocre centrists like Kagan, nbd. (Fwiw, Sotomayor is mostly ok imo.)

When the GOP senators who voted to impeach Trump and subsequently lost their seats die they will (with the exception of former Pres nominee Romney) be footnotes in the news. Because he sold out our country and stayed in office when he died, Graham gets different treatment. A lesson!

This passage from @davidlat.bsky.social perfectly captures the false dichotomy you see so often from the Supreme Court's defenders: The Court is held out as "independent" because it doesn't *always* rule for Trump. That whitewashes (1) how often it *does*; & (2) its bad behavior in non-Trump cases.

Yes. The way to think about the Roberts court's decisions on executive authority and voting rights are as a series of shadow amendments—they are huge policy changes that can't be undone through normal legislation. Not how things should work, but that's why radical judicial reform is imperative

He wasn’t “openly skeptical of climate science,” as this piece puts it. He was a despicable liar who conspired relentlessly to make the public doubt the reality of global warming and is frankly one of the great villains of the last half century. Rest in piss www.wsj.com/articles/for...

This is a very good idea. Of course, no matter how carefully it complies with existing first amendment doctrine, there is a 0.0% chance the Roberts court will do anything but strike it down. Yet another example of how Dems *must* grasp that court reform is a prerequisite to protecting democracy

good on him for not agreeing to lie about Renee Good, but the line they’re fighting over is already to the right of the truth. Throwing snowballs and kicking taillights does not make protesters “half” of the story about extrajudicial killings by paramilitary troops sent on a mission to terrorize.
