This site isn’t even fun anymore, it just makes me angry every time I open it and have to see some idiotic racist drivel. Deleting the app for now ✌️

[Blake Stump @BlakeStump]

If y’all want to endlessly rehash the 2016 primary forever have at it, but nothing is ever actually going to change if we keep this shit up

[Blake Stump @BlakeStump]

The abundance vs. populism discourse kills me. It’s not either/or, it’s both/and. We should be taking on corporate power AND confronting the reasons why, for example, California has been throwing money at high speed rail for 10 years with absolutely nothing to show for it.

[Blake Stump @BlakeStump]

My biggest advice to young men is it’s important to recognize this is loser behavior from people who have never tried hard at anything in their life and want to blame their own failings on everyone else. Study+work hard, treat others with respect, and you WILL succeed in life.

[John Carter @martianwyrdlord]

Zoomer men have been checking out because for their entire lives it has been made abundantly clear to them that it does not matter how hard they work - their jobs will be given to girls, their positions at school will be given to diversity, their country will be given to aliens, and whatever money they do manage to make will be transferred to the boomers pulling up the gangplank behind them as they depart for the Great All You Can Eat Cruise Casino Buffet in the Sky.

Nagging them isn't going to win them over.

You need to offer them something.

The fact that Republicans are less likely to trust THE WEATHER CHANNEL tells you everything you need to know

Americans are sharply divided along partisan lines on which national media organizations they trust most

Marco Rubio had someone arrested & jailed over an op-ed.

@Artemishowl_ Chimneytime my goat

[Conor Rogers @conorjrogers]

Wow you got scammed by the most famous scammer on Earth at the scam meeting? Who could have seen this coming

[Blake Stump @BlakeStump]

Sure would be nice if we didn’t have 3 empty safe blue seats right now because the 70+ year olds who held them all died!

[Andrew Solender @AndrewSolender]

NEW: House passes the budget reconciliation bill 215-214.

Two Republicans, Massie and Davidson, voted no with all Democrats.

Freedom Caucus chair Andy Harris voted present. Garbarino and Schweikert didn’t vote.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

It's hard to know how politics works in a world where a big chunk of voters cannot be moved by empirical reality. No rational person can look at the past month and say "Trump won his trade war." But MAGA just collectively decides to pretend it's true.

[Blake Stump @BlakeStump]

Oh yeah and the people who insist that the vice chair election redo is based only on a procedural issue and has nothing to do with primary challenges have perfect fidelity to the truth, I’m sure!

When it cut to the clip with the tires squealing I fucking lost it LOL

[CBS News @CBSNews]

A sedan being improperly towed by an SUV on a Houston, Texas highway was seen swinging dangerously across lanes on Monday. No injuries were reported.

[advanced apathy @Tragedy_Andy]

whenever you hear these ghouls bemoaning and devaluing American liberal arts educations, please understand that it's your children they don't want going to college not their own

[Blake Stump @BlakeStump]

That’s because the homeschoolers aren’t actually teaching the material effectively. Homeschooling is child abuse and should be illegal in almost all cases

[Brett Pike @ClassicLearner]

New homeschool parents are shocked when they discover how little time it takes to get through what public schools consider to be eight hours of work.

[Blake Stump @BlakeStump]

We need to get back to the Trump 1 situation where nobody serious was willing to work for them because this kind of shit would ruin their future career prospects. That was good, actually.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Fixed it for you, @NYTimes.

Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen — he’s NOT coming back.

[Blake Stump @BlakeStump]

Fixing this is one of the biggest challenges we have to face. We cannot have a functioning country when half the population doesn't believe in high school level science and economics, and has no idea how or why anything works.

[Jesse Brenneman @Jesse_Brenneman]

Once again, a large number of American adults no longer know how or why things happen. They just assume that good stuff happens because it’s good, not because there’s some infrastructure or system in place to make it happen.

[Blake Stump @BlakeStump]

This site is just a full-on propaganda operation and it couldn’t be more obvious. The number of boosted slop accounts glazing P*erre Po*l*evre in the last 48 hours is insane. And I’m not even Canadian!

[Blake Stump @BlakeStump]

lol now they want to defund *checks notes* the Mayo Clinic. MAGA Maoism is real

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

BREAKING: Mayo Clinic @MayoClinic just renamed their DEI office to the “Office of Belonging” to circumvent Trump’s EOs. It has the same director and they accidentally forgot to change it on one webpage which we found.

They’re trying to rebrand DEI. They receive BILLIONS of federal dollars.

This needs to be investigated. @HHSGov @DOGE

Here’s the before and after:

[Blake Stump @BlakeStump]

If you’re unwilling to go to bat for “just one hairdresser” who was secreted away to a foreign torture prison, you shouldn’t be in elected office.

[A Left-Wing Account ™️ @PushDemsLeft]

Absolutely soulless.
