the more i think about this the more i feel like it's possibly one of the most outrageous scandals to happen in global politics in a long time. if it is what it looks like it's an absolute watershed crisis moment for the US and world.

So this guy bribes a governor to kill an investigation into his bank, gets convicted, and his daughter bribes Trump to get him pardoned. With any other president, impeachment. With Trump, not even a headline. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

I don't know that it makes him presidential material but Ossoff's ability to just be honest about how much of a pile of shit these people really are should be a model to the party.

every time the media gets to ask Abdul El-Sayed a question they ask him to answer for something Hasan Piker said because they once did an event together. Yet the media never asks Republican candidates to answer for Elon Musk, the #1 Republican fundraiser this cycle and of all time. It's odd!

Let me make a sort of orthogonal point: I don’t get the attacks on immigrants - that even I’ve experienced - that sound like “you came here from a bad place.” Yeah man I know. That was the whole idea of coming here. To come to a good place where you can make something of your life in freedom.

The world’s richest person has quietly become by far the biggest known midterm donor, trying to save Republicans’ Senate majority with some of the largest donations in American political history.

“Illegally detaining and brutalizing a racial minority until they agree to flee the country” isn’t immigration enforcement, it’s ethnic cleansing. There’s no legal standard here - these people meet the standard! What differentiates them is not their legal status but their race and color.

I'm against the death penalty in most cases for consequentialist reasons (you almost never are preventing future harm by killing someone already in jail for life), but even if I thought it was justified here, to livestream it is the policy choice of a toddler who masturbates while torturing pets.

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

As a historian, I’m well aware of all the shitty things this country has done historically, but if you had told me 15 years ago, that in the near future we would be doing this, and the Supreme Court would be allowing it, I wouldn’t have believed you. Just mind-bogglingly cruel and evil.
