  • What JD Vance’s Eruption of Rage Over Usha and El-Sayed Really Reveals

    Jump

  • The vice president’s pose as an enforcer of chivalry and rectitude in our politics is ludicrous on its face, given his apologetics for Donald Trump’s nonstop vicious personal smears. But this episode is of interest for another reason: El-Sayed’s stance articulates a bigger point about Vance’s craven compromises with the MAGA coalition’s racist and white nationalist elements that is 100 percent correct.

    This is a great piece.

  • ‘We've told them he cannot come’: Republicans grapple with how to handle Trump on the trail

    Jump

  • Many privately admit they’re stuck in an uncomfortable spot: By running too far from Trump, Republicans risk alienating the MAGA faithful or the president himself, whose super PAC is sitting on more than $400 million they desperately need deployed to help them win key races. But if the candidates keep Trump close, they could be dragged down by the president, as the unpopular war in Iran has increased costs for Americans across the country.

    That's his grift money though. No way he spends it on someone else.

  • San Francisco Democrats break with their party over the billionaire tax—and reveal how deeply Prop 40 has split the left

    Jump

  • Not to get all "no true Scotsman" here, but if you don't want to tax billionaires until they're not billionaires anymore then you're not even close to being on the left in my book.

  • I have to agree with cast iron pans, especially old ones. They're versatile, durable, and I don't have to worry about Teflon flaking off.

    I've heard carbon steel is great too, but I love the properties of cast iron so I don't feel the need to get anything else.

  • ‘I’m Really Worried!’ Ted Cruz Rattles Off a Long List of States Where Dems Can Win Senate Battles

  • Paxton isn't going to debate Talarico, I guarantee it.

    He's more chickenshit than a henhouse full of lettuce.

  • He beat Cuomo by 10 points. That's a significant victory.

  • A New Jersey school district won’t out trans students. Moms for Liberty is suing to expose the kids

    Jump

  • They care very much about social hierarchy, and the idea that someone would try to refuse their role sickens them.

    It's the conservative social contract: they accept that their betters can tell them what to do and how to live so long as they get that privilege over those who are inferior to them.

    Gender is an incredibly important part of this hierarchy, and everyone must fit into the box they were born into. Jumping one's station, rejecting privilege, or outright refusing to play their game infuriates them.

  • Judge strikes down Texas ban on drag shows, tells people offended by them ‘just don’t go’

    Jump

  • Ironic coming from a guy who just showed his ass.

  • 'Just don't go': Judge once again finds Texas drag ban unconstitutional

    Jump

  • "Drag has always been a form of free expression, and it is a relief that the court recognized that today," Bandit said in a statement. “We use our performances to assert liberation, power, and joy with our community. As a lifelong Texan, I’m sick of this state trying to censor art and stoke hatred and violence against drag artists and the LGBTQIA+ community. No one should be punished for performing drag."

    John Fetterman’s Popularity With Republicans Surges as He Angers the Left, Poll Finds

    Jump

  • Because angering the left is their favorite pastime. It's just as good as making their own lives better because of their zero-sum thinking.

  • What's the most unforgivable sin done in media that you're still bitter about?

    Jump

  • In the skewed US scale, yes. He has usually described himself as a liberal, which is as close as anyone on mainstream TV got to being on the left until Bernie Sanders made waves in the 2016 campaign.

    He recently had dinner with Trump while kissing his ass and said that he may vote for JD Vance next time because of the woke.
