  • A roadmap to beat Trump? How rise of Zohran Mamdani is dividing Democrats

    Jump

  • The politics of minimizing potential loss is a losing strategy. Be for something instead.

  • A Public Lands Sell-Off Is Struck From the G.O.P. Policy Bill | Senator Mike Lee, Republican of Utah, said he would withdraw his proposal after it faced intense intraparty opposition.

    Jump

  • Oh, thank god. More than anything else happening now, selling off our public lands was what I feared most, because it would be irreversible. Everything else from the Trump era, aside from the cruel loss of life, can be undone, rebuilt, and countered with enough hard work and willpower. But not this.

  • A Conservative’s Plan to Sell Public Lands Faces MAGA Pushback | They love hunting, fishing and conservatism. And they hate a plan by a conservative senator to sell millions of acres of public lands.

    Jump

  • No. This is the American public's. None of it should be sold.

    The Democrats’ Secret Plan to Destroy Democracy

    Jump

  • Incoherent conspiracy theory and conjecture with not a single supporting fact in the entire article.

  • Liberal supreme court justices’ dissents reveal concerns that the US faces a crisis

    Jump

  • Who is "they"? What you wrote doesn't describe anyone I know. The people I know are deeply afraid, angry, and at times despondent. They try not to think too much about what's happening and just live their lives hoping that this will pass in 2027 or 2029 because they can't come to terms emotionally or mentally with what will happen otherwise.

  • Alabama Senator: “These inner-city rats, they live off the federal government. That’s one reason we are $37 trillion in debt"

    Jump

  • And this is why the U.S. government would start a civil war if the West and Northeast tried to secede. The fascists hate us, but like abusers they think they own us, and most importantly they need our money.

  • Democratic governor Hochul says she’s not ready to back Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor yet — slamming his plan to tax the rich

    Jump

  • Gov. Hochul and her husband declared a combined income of $1.5 million last year.

    More like "slammed his plans to raise her taxes."

  • Right-Wing Republicans in Congress Attack Mamdani With Islamophobic Comments

    Jump

  • I'm glad The NY Times is at least regularly calling these racist now in their news department, instead of "racially charged" or whatever.

    But his shock win put him on the national radar, and some Republicans in Congress are now seeking to undermine him using a strategy similar to the racist one that Donald J. Trump employed against former President Barack Obama by questioning whether he was born in the United States. [...]

    Some Democrats condemned the comments and expressed outrage, although they have learned not to expect any response. And their denunciations of racist attacks typically disappear into a morass of polarized content on social media. [...]

    [Senator Tommy Tuberville, Republican of Alabama] made racist comments in response, lamenting New York City’s high concentration of undocumented immigrants and referring to them as vermin who “live off the federal government.”

  • Trump, Hegseth slam news coverage of US intel report on Iran attack, say B-2 pilots upset

    Jump

  • Jon Hamm will never recover.

    But also don't post AI slop, please.

  • Bernie Sanders: Will the Democrats learn from Zohran Mamdani’s victory?

    Jump

  • Copying and pasting my comment from the earlier thread.

    Did anyone actually read the article or did y'all just read the headline?

    He says probably not, but it doesn't matter, because it's up to the people to rise up and push them out like they've started to as part of the Sanders/AOC rallies, the No Kings protest, and Mamdani's primary victory.

  • Harassing ICE: How the L.A. protesters are reinventing themselves

    Jump

  • Imagine justifying sending someone to a foreign prison for life without a trial, or even possibly enslavement in a place like Libya, and then complaining about being called names.

  • The first two are like he's trying to manifest it

  • Some Democratic senators regret voting to confirm Kristi Noem as DHS secretary

    Jump

  • Seven senators voted for her.

    • Tim Kaine (Virginia)
    • Andy Kim (New Jersey)
    • Elissa Slotkin (Michigan)
    • Gary Peters (Michigan)
    • Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire)
    • Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire)

  • This viral video has people talking about Christianity versus ‘MAGA Christianity’

    Jump

  • In the New Testament, that stuff all comes from Paul. Paul was a conservative asshole. He was the first evangelical Christian, in both the historical and modern sense.

  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has given an unusual level of authority to General pushing for war against Iran

    Jump

  • I know quitting is hard

    Uh, you can't just turn in your two weeks when you're in the military. There's a reason why AWOL is a thing. And you can't apply as a conscientious objector to an individual conflict. Even if you apply, it can still be denied.

    You have agency

    You literally don't, unless you'd prefer prison and dishonorable discharge.

    Edit: The thread's about Iran, not whatever pet grievance you have.

  • Kamala Harris Didn’t Lose Because of Racism

    Jump

  • This isn't rocket science. Most Americans were (and are) unhappy with the direction of the country and she was the status quo candidate. She literally said she couldn't think of a single policy difference between herself and Biden, an unpopular president. And the tone-deaf joy campaign—give me a break. People were (and are) angry. A populist was always going to win this election, but she didn't campaign as a populist.

    Like most Democrats, she also lacked the courage of her convictions, as evidenced by how quickly she backed away from voicing progressive policies from 2020 like Medicare for All. Or maybe her convictions were more moderate and the progressive positions were the ploy? Who even knows? What few meek ideas she did put forward she quickly backed away from after closed-door fundraisers with rich investors.

    I voted for her despite all of this. I wrote letters to swing state voters. But it was a pretty grim march to November, because I saw all of these things way before the election and knew with near certainty that she was going to lose.
