This is the only political story: The things virtually everybody wants can't happen. It strikes at the heart of any claim that we have a functional democracy. Everything else in politics is meant to distract from this. And everyone in the media who participates is complicit.
Unpopular "centrist" Dems give the right endless ammo to effectively use against them, while leftists are so universally appealing that even FOX is scared to attack them, because they keep converting their own viewers.
a critical moment for us media. this is exactly what happened in turkey with erdogans initial rise to power. regime loyalists bought up all the private media outlets.
Any guesses as to why there isn't a federal investigation? I'm sure Krash Patel will get right to it after he's done burying the rest of the Epstein files. Source: https://t.co/9VWzv06wmn
I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
Landlord: Rent has gone up.
Businesses: That’s a natural part of doing business.

Fox News says Hasan Piker used a antisemitic trope by saying Israel advocacy groups pushed for his ban. And then in the following sentence details how said groups pushed for his ban.
Hasan Piker is not the movement, he is the megaphone for the masses, You could ban him off every site, refuse him access to every country, but it will never change our stance on israel, Israel is a fascist genocidal "country" mass murdering civillians, fuck Israel and fuck you
Hasan Piker: “Every dollar spent on a bomb that Israel drops on a school is a dollar stolen from you because that’s a dollar that could’ve been used to build a school in your neighborhood. That’s your productive output used for the death machine to kill other people’s kids”
Steyer’s whole campaign has been about universal healthcare, prop 13 reform, housing, and taxing the rich
If you think those issues are 30/70 idk what to tell you. He talks about trans issues once and the centrist pundits grab their knives
The world's richest centi-billionaire oligarch used his power to change the rules, so he could dump his garbage company (which is cartoonishly overvalued, unprofitable, and incinerating cash) on retail investors, using trillions of dollars in retirement funds as exit liquidity, all in order to become the first trillionaire.
This is the perfect metaphor for the US economy as a whole, which is entirely based on bubbles and scams.
oppo research on Talarico: he is in a loving relationship with his beautiful girlfriend
oppo research on Paxton: he literally freed a pedophile and his wife divorced him on “biblical grounds”
Just occurred to me this is the first time in my lifetime I can remember a billionaire funding a valuable public works project. Andrew Carnegie funded like 2000 libraries alone lol
