  • Mikie Sherrill’s state police riot in Newark is a national disgrace | New Jersey state troopers meant to protect Newark protesters from ICE are violently shredding the First Amendment instead.

    Jump

  • Same asshole move we saw from way too many Dem leaders in 2020 when George Floyd protests were happening, and similar to asshole moves we saw from the same people in 2024 against anti-genocide protesters. Democratic party must do better on this.

  • People should be able to expect better from a Dem governor

  • Newsom to impose 100% tax on California payees of Trump’s $1.8bn fund

    Jump

  • Ah, so he's not actually doing anything anyone else couldn't do, he's just asking other people to do something. That makes more sense but I would not have gotten that out of this headline.

  • Crazy their state constitution allows the governor to just unilaterally impose taxes like this, I would have thought that would be something their legislature has to do

  • Even republicans deserve credit if it was them

    Absolutely fucking not in general because fuck the Republican party,

    But also absolutely fucking not in this specific case - between them slashing government services and inflating the hell out of the economy the average person's standard of living is down while the deficit is still up. That cut in income taxes is like giving someone a thimble of water after setting them on fire, but also they flooded the sink and made a mess in the kitchen doing it somehow.

  • If only Trump can show a little bit of restraint and resist his impulse to slap his name all over everything he can maybe that will work out for him

    U.S. national debt officially hits $39 trillion—adding $5 billion a day since October

    Jump

  • I'm talking about printing money and using it to pay bond holders.

    I think that would do even more to devalue the dollar and inflate things than just cutting checks to households would, if only because bond holders are the types to watch everything the government does and try to get a step or two ahead with their trades and stuff. They'd see that and react like the CNBC hosts did when the GameStop guy said he was gonna buy eBay by just issuing a bunch of new stock.

  • US Rep. Thomas Massie loses Kentucky GOP primary to Ed Gallrein in another victory for Trump

    Jump

  • I mean, money they're spending in a primary is money they aren't spending in a general, but there's definitely way too much money in politics overall

  • House Democratic leaders condemn Texas candidate for antisemitic comments

    Jump

  • She also talks about wanting to mass castrate pedophiles and attacked the San Antonio Current for basically just reprinting what she said, and the amount of money that got thrown at her primary campaign out of nowhere by an organization that set things up so they won't have to report their donors until after the election is really strange at best, so I really think she's a bit crazy and her campaign is going to implode no matter what at this point,

    But what a fucking fumble from the Dems. With a little bit of support from the party maybe we could've toned down her weirdest shit and run a good campaign here, but no, we're just going to hand a house seat to the Republicans I guess.

  • House Democratic leaders condemn Texas candidate for antisemitic comments

    Jump

  • I don't see her saying anything about wanting to persecute Jews. I see her saying that she wants to imprison American Zionists, but like half of those are evangelical Christians.

    I definitely don't like how she's now blaming a local journalist for her getting death threats when that reporter just reprinted what she said, and who knows who is behind her with American campaign finance laws being what they are, so I would be very surprised if her campaign doesn't collapse in the general,

    But the fact that the Democratic party couldn't work with this lady and teach her a little bit of messaging discipline before things got to this point is a mistake that's now going to haunt us all summer. She has some questionable judgment but seems like somebody who could have been worked with, but now instead we're just going to give a House seat to the GOP because of a moderate purity test.

    Kamala Harris comes out swinging for Supreme Court expansion to take down ‘red state cheating’

    Jump

  • Speaking to Emerge, Harris raised the idea of Supreme Court reform “including the notion of expanding the court.”

    That's coming out swinging? Maybe if she releases a signed public statement saying she supports court expansion and if she thinks an un-filibuster-able bill would be an appropriate way to do so regardless of what the Senate Parliamentarian says I'd believe it, but this seems so vague it's meaningless.

  • How he addressed it was by cutting enhanced unemployment insurance and dropping plans for stimulus checks. edit - while also pursuing an infrastructure bill that pumped a ton of money into businesses

    Not to mention, the affordability crisis were facing is... a consistent systemic issue with both.
