“(For Dems) too short-sighted to realize that the (fall of GOP over Watergate) means your own demise, that the demise of politicians and political parties means the demise of the system, then one of us is very stupid… I don’t think it’s me.”

Biden, 1973

There's no better case for socialism than the world's first trillionaire being a massive loser who cosplays as his mom and baby online and lies about being good at video games in an attempt to give his life meaning.

This is insane:
• UofM cracks down on and arrests anti-genocide student protesters
• Ann Arbor prosecutor Eli Savit declines to prosecute
• UofM recruits MI AG and Zionist lunatic Dana Nessel to personally prosecute the case—HIGHLY unusual for such low-level charges
• Nessel forced to drop all charges to preempt court finding her unable to fairly prosecute the case due to her bias against Arabs and Muslims as well as her ties to Zionist extremist groups caught attempting to influence the court
• Nessel (a Democrat!) turns to Trump DoJ and Kash Patel to bring felony conspiracy charges against the students

Call me a hater but I think living in a world where both trillionaires and global poverty coexist is a sign humanity has failed as a species

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

WOW: Since the court order, the Board of the Kennedy Center has seemingly amended its bylaws to take itself hostage, declaring that if anyone takes down the Trump name, they’ll have to give back all donations and go bankrupt.

That seems a TEXTBOOK violation of fiduciary duty.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

there's many distortions and racist framings in this NYT AIPAC profile by @jonathanmahler, but this is factually false and needs a correction. "Most Democrats'" views absolutely do line up with the Squad's on Israel. I'd love for Jon to explain on what poll question they do not?

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.

History's first trillionaire.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

The "Trump Kennedy Center" apparently repeatedly ignored the terms of a contract with the Washington National Opera, locked the WNO out from viewing their own financial records, and is now refusing to return$17 million of their own money — and even already spent some of it!

[Matt Duss @mattduss]

lol, AIPAC criticizing progressives for trying to use primaries to “exert an outsize and pernicious influence in politics” is one for the Every Accusation is a Confession hall of fame.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

“A reporter’s job is to uncritically parrot what people in power tell them” is a defense of sorts i suppose

[(((Harry Enten))) @ForecasterEnten]

Trump's "I love the inflation" is one of the most politically tone deaf statements I've ever heard.

No prez before him ever had a -50 pt or worse net approval in an inflation poll. Trump's done it 8+ times.

Trump's the only prez to ever hit 80% disapproval on gas prices.

[David Dayen @ddayen]

We obtained documents detailing the abundance movement's "capital stack."
It's $260 million/year, including $100 million from former Microsoft CEO/LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, who hadn't been listed as an abundance donor before.

For a decade, Democrats have tried to find their own Trump. For better or worse, they may have found theirs last week. Here's what it looks like when an establishment dies. https://t.co/kId6XnFCT0

Israeli lawyer Ben Marmarelli says Palestinian prisoners he represents beg him not to visit because they're raped each time he is due to meet them.

This is a scene from Al Jazeera's shocking new documentary on Israel's systematic use of rape.

Former '60 Minutes' staffers are sick of seeing Bari Weiss destroy the show:

“She comes in as a self-declared ‘Zionist fanatic,’ and I’m sorry, but that should disqualify her from playing an editorial role in CBS News coverage of Israel.” https://t.co/jyfozd4Ii1

[Brian Tashman @briantashman]

French officials investigating Israeli interference in ‌France's elections also found evidence of Israeli interference in the New York City mayoral election as well as in Scottish politics, targeting critics of Israel’s policies

[Harrison Mann @Harrison_J_Mann]

Embarrassing for proponents of "international peace" to be led by DNI who oversaw unprecedented intel support for Israel during its genocide in Gaza and instituted ignoring war crimes as policy + as CIA #2 helped agency avoid accountability for torture

[quagmiremonkey @quagmiremonkey]

@JosephONeillx "Even when compromise isn't tactically required, it's our patriotic duty to seek it" can no longer be accepted after Dem leadership let Trump and the GOP get away with a televised coup attempt because they supposedly sought "unity" with a gang of brazen traitors.

[Joseph O'Neill @JosephONeillx]

I think it's deeper than this. Libs are beginning to grasp that bipartisanship happens when Rs and Ds agree to service the donors who have bought off politicians in both parties (Wall St, pharma, crypto, AI, AIPAC). "I'm bipartisan" usually means "I'm corrupt."

[simon @SimonMcGlynn4]

I think part of the reason centrists hate platner so much is he challenges their narrative in a way not even someone like Mamdani can

He's on track to flip a red seat with a progressive campaign, they can't chalk this up to leftists only taking on incumbent dems

[endora bullshit @collectdust]

jerry seinfeld's daughter works for bari weiss? that makes sense....

i remember when he used to berate her on stage for caring about feminism in college when she was already older than the teenager jerry dated in his late 30s
