little known fact: In 2020, Republicans lost the White House and the Senate.

The Washington post
Democracy Dies in Darkness The murder of George Floyd under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer, in 2020, brought about another turn in the racial justice movement, with liberal activists chanting "Defund the police!" The idea was that the money should be reallocated to other uses, such as social
services. Though most Democrats, including Joe Biden, rejected the slogan, Republicans used it as an effective weapon in that year's election,
claiming it was an invitation to lawlessness.

also, what do you think people conclude when they hear you say Donald Trump is a "wannabe king" who is "attacking the American people" (both true things Jeffries has said) and also that you want to find common ground with him? Probably that your criticisms are insincere or that you're weak or both

This is an extraordinary article in many ways. But: 1) “it left unarmed North Koreans dead” is a polite way of phrasing “SEALS killed them.” 2) It isn’t until paragraph 59 that the NYT tells us the people the seals killed were civilians. They were fishing, and America killed them.

NYT: “How a Dop Secret SEAL Team 6 Mission Into North Korea Fell Apart / The 2019 operation, greenlit by President Trump, sought a strategic edge. It left unarmed North Koreans dead.”

"the real scandal here is that Talarico's campaign didn't move quickly enough to refute the lies our allies were spreading about him" is some weapons-grade bullshit

this is so obviously correct it is deeply bizarre and corrosive how many people who should know better are unwilling to simply say it

“He told them what he was going to do, and when they did it she acts like she’s surprised: ‘I’ll send a letter.’ That is not how you’re supposed to be using your power as the most powerful U.S. Senator, chair of Appropriations. Do something about it.”

also twitter provided a handy mechanism for downloading an easily searchable archive of your posts, something that is extremely handy if you're trying to remember a thing you don't remember but do remember Posting About. (Bluesky has yet to implement such a feature despite years of promises, fwiw)

"partied in Dubai with two fugitives from U.S. justice" is one of the three least-bad things about Ken Paxton

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.
