Former Consul. Reluctant conqueror. I watched Rome defeat its rivals yet lose itself. Democracy dies when ambition outruns institutions, wealth captures politics, and citizens forget their common fate. Defend the Republic before you're forced to mourn it.

Actually the German word for MAGA is not MGGA, it is NAZI.

Politician 1: President should control taxes & spending & war & democracy. And he can steal! Corporate Media: staunch conservative! Politician 2: Congress should control taxes & spending & war. Democracy should be preserved, and President should not steal from US. Corporate Media: radical leftist!

What Clinton thinks: I am cheering up pro-democracy people by letting them know my Republican friends still exist! What the rest of think: Elite (like Clinton) don’t understand stakes, continuously protect Republicans that (in reality) have no moderates & do nothing to stop Trump from harming US.

Jared is selling US foreign policy for $billions: any attempt to negotiate with him validates his crimes against US.

Infuriating: anyone talking to Trump’s son-in-law should not be anywhere near Democratic leadership. Simply talking to Jared validates the absurd corruption of the Trump regime, undermining core goal of election: protecting democracy.

Corporate Media trying to make Hegseth a viable national figure after he decimated our military, got crushed by Iran, and proved himself to be every inch the degenerate racist & misogynist incompetent we knew he was because they define objective neutrality as hardcore pro-Republican bias.

Republicans have nominated several sexual abusers and absurdly corrupt candidates. And their president has stolen $10+ billion in less than 2 years. Democrats almost nominated a sexual abuser but rapidly kicked him off the ticket. Corporate Media: both sides suffer from scandals!

Article missed all the key questions: where will he land? who is funding him and how much? how many supporters does he have and can he gain more as he marches on London? will he toss William & family into the Tower or try to dispatch them? So many questions!

Insane that Democratic Elite trying to silence Democratic senator discussing Republican president placing his plausible unvetted mistress in powerful position, esspecially when it seems to be rattling Republican Elite. It is almost like they want to avoid rattling their friends, more than saving US.

Unlike NYT that editorially blocks comments so the comments slavishly agree with them (and they avoid any accountability for their subtle collaboration), WaPo has a fully open comment section which provides nice balance to their collaboration (would be surprised if this continues much longer).

ok but two things: 1. the bar isn't "helpful", its "truthful"; offering a bunch of lies with a smile isn't actually the goal here 2. people are pissed because the WH press insists on defending an ally of American fascism, not because they think you were lying about her being helpful

So, there is poll showing Mamdani with 69% support among his voting population (NYC), and their entire frame is that he is in trouble because of his low support among NY (not in NYC). That is really amazing!

Weird how the Corporate Media is branding Democrats with policy positions that are consistently >50% support as "far-left" (e.g., Medicare for all), but consider Republicans with policy positions that are at best 20% as "populist" (e.g., destroy Obamacare markets and slash access to Medicaid).

Even more shocking than the super Islamophobia of Corporate Media towards Mayor Mamdani is their continued love of terrible human being Rudy Giuliani.
