Let me be VERY clear for those of you in the back. If bringing down the largest child sex trafficking ring in our known history will "collapse the government as we know it," then the government as we know it needs to collapse.

[Marlow Stern @MarlowNYC]

you can want balogun to play, believe the call against him was bogus, and also be put off by the president of a host country meddling in the world cup, but dave isn’t capable of carrying all these thoughts at once

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Trump is using the government’s power to take ownership in private companies. It’s what Putin did.

Trump is the closest we’ve ever come to communism

[Reggie B. @reggiebblue]

Ex-Trump supporter: "I did believe that the election was stolen. I believed that the rioters were patriots until I switched off Fox News and started getting news and information from other places. That's when it finally hit."

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

The irony of Trump calling FIFA to overturn
a red card for Balogun because he knows the U.S. can’t win without Balogun, who only qualifies for the U.S. team because of birthright citizenship, which Trump just tried to overturn.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: And as our Declaration of Independence tells us, we are all made in the image of one almighty god. And a communist will never say that.

[Yayo 🤷🏽‍♂️ @_yayeezy]

This why sports media is so bad now. You got idiots like this guy spreading lies and misinformation that’s available to the public lmao a legit joke. She’s number one in none of things. She is one of the worst defenders in the league and leads in TOVs tho.

[Aes🇺🇸 @AesPolitics1]

Yeah you are a fucking idiot

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Republicans need to tone down the rhetoric. This kind of language can lead to political violence, as I have been told. https://t.co/SpJVFCa6EV

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Please don't forget the Trump family is barred from ever running another charity in NY because they stole from a Children's Cancer Charity. A Children's Cancer Charity. A FUCKING CHILDREN'S CANCER CHARITY!

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Were AR15s a thing when the second amendment was?

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Usha Vance just asked Trump if he has time to read.

Barack Obama: “Reading is the gateway skill that makes all other learning possible.”

Thomas Jefferson: “I cannot live without books.”

Donald Trump: “I usually read stories about myself”

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Maybe Republicans should spend more time condemning stuff like this and less time condemning the mayor of New York.

[𝘼𝙣𝙘𝙖𝙥 𝘼𝙞𝙧 🛫 @AncapAir]

So... A bribe.

[InfoGram @_InfoGram_]

This is absolute cinema 🎥

🇺🇸Journalist Kernen: "You made a ton of money in crypto. Do you even know about those crypto deals?"

🇺🇸Trump: "Yeah I know. Nothing illegal there."

🇺🇸Kernen: "Title 18, Section 208. It’s criminal law that stops gov workers from making money off official stuff."

🇺🇸Trump: "Don’t know it."

That’s a journalist with SPINE 👏.

In a real democracy, Trump would have face 5 years in prison for this crime.

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

This is fascinating to me, because beyond the surface level it illuminates why conservatives are often so full of shit.

The baseline here is that there's a heatwave, and Mamdani asked New Yorkers to adjust their thermostats to help the grid. This is regular practice in red and blue areas of the country. Daniel posts a defiant "I'm not gonna do what mommy tells me!" style post. He surely thinks he's a very clever boy here.

Now if the message is "This is a free country, and I love my AC, and by god it's my house and no government bureaucrat can force me to change", then fine. Sure. But there is no law being proposed here. No police are bursting down your door demanding to check your thermostat. It's a request from a community leader, a polite ask that you engage in a very small pro-social sacrifice.

You would think conservatives would understand the idea that local communities should pull together in times of need. For the 'common good', perhaps. You'd think. And that they'd be happy if no government force was involved, if they could act merely because they had strong moral character and believed in private charitable action.

"Nobody should ever ask anyone to sacrifice for the common good, even if it's just a polite request" is just dipshit nihilism.

But I suspect Daniel doesn't actually believe in those conservative ideas. Or if he does, they're a distant second to the true guiding star of conservative thought: owning the libs. Given the chance to help people or own the libs, conservatives will always own the libs. Given the chance to demonstrate strong principles or own the libs, they'll always abandon the principle to own the libs. The actual philosophy of the right is merely "We hate the left". And it's sad.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Did you know the department of energy deleted almost 6000 web pages on energy saving, all because they matched the advice Mamdani was giving in NYC?

It’s the world’s dumbest cult.

[Khary Penebaker @kharyp]

They believe a fountain was vandalized with zero video, and they deny an insurrection that aired live for six hours. That is not a party. That is a cult that found a flag.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

Republicans want to feel like victims so badly. You live in California dude, there’s no heat wave here and no one is telling you how to set your thermometer.

[InfoGram @_InfoGram_]

🇺🇸 Donald Trump is going to lift the ban on mailing handguns directly to homes. That helps GrabAGun, the online gun store his son has a stake in. He’d rake in billions.

In any functioning democracy, this would be called massive corruption and He would have faced at least 2 years in jail.
