My favorite, of course, being the 3/5ths Compromise.”

As home owner, I promise to admit arsonists into my house - because the best solutions come from pretending nothing can get better by hiding the fact that I don’t want to make your life better by keeping more overt saboteurs close.

As governor, I promise to have Republicans in my cabinet —because the best solutions come from working together.

@neeratanden @ryangrim Back in 2004, too?

@ryangrim Neera Tanden is excited for this Court to overturn Obergefell.

Scalia died in February 2016. It took Obama a full month to nominate a replacement and then he used no leverage and barely lifted a finger for Garland; the party was more focused in the moment at making sure everyone understood how racist and sexist Bernie Sanders was.

Plenty of Obama aides were actually glad when Dems lost the senate in 2014 because they were sick of Harry Reid pushing Obama to be more assertive and fight more.

They lost the Senate in 2014 largely because of Obama’s capitulation to/obsession with austerity and reducing the deficit.

He constantly insisted he had no real power — Neera will probably respond by saying he had no power — which Trump has proved totally wrong.

And when RBG died in September 2020 Trump nominated ACB the next week. They play to win.

But sure, a 5 minute segment from @chrislhayes would’ve made the difference. (And I’m sure he did do a bunch actually.)

The incoherence of calling yourself a “supreme court voter” while also dismissing stuff like court packing because it would “politicize the court”

Is the Supreme Court political or not?

It is not an exaggeration or any degree of hyperbole to state this clear fact: Iran is currently the only nation fighting to uphold international law and order.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

The magnitude of what just happened may take some time to sink in.

This is the first time Iran has struck Israel after Israel struck another country's territory (that is, not Iran).

This means that the battle lines have been moved.

Iran's deterrence had already been restored in the sense that Israel knew that any strike on it would be responded to.

But now, Iran has proven that it will also respond to Israeli strikes on Lebanon.

This is the first time in decades that a regional power has the means, capacity, and willingness to put hard power against Israeli military maneuvers or aggression against a third party.

Iran's ability to check Israel's rogue barbarism is precisely the reason why the Israelis are so committed to its destruction.

they've built concentration camps and i'm expected to act like it's a mere difference of political opinion

[After the haze @vivaLaErre]

HasanAbi lays out why liberals like @ContraPoints and CSAM consumer @TheOmniLiberal are both clueless about Graham Platner's rise as a candidate

Their shared belief that online lefties somehow created his candidacy only highlights how out of touch both of them are

[Ulf @theulf.bsky.social @the_ulf]

@TheBrancaShow Now that you know this is incorrect, are you going to delete it?

Didn't expect "a Youtube journalist gets arrested for trying to get someone's stolen Legos back" to be the thing that finally puts into the mainstream how corrupt Utah's police force is because of how little separation of church and state there is

[Ulf @theulf.bsky.social @the_ulf]

@ContraPoints His campaign was not catapulted to where it is by upper middle class leftists.

He got his numbers from touring every single township and connecting with blue-collar workers and retirees across the state.

[full slack @fullslack_]

Here’s Contrapoints not seeing any obvious red flags lmao

@bonchieredstate Incorrect.

[John F. Morton @musepwt]

If you don't know at least a handful of guys like Graham, you've never done a day of physical labor in your life and you should really think long and hard about your own class position and why Platner is winning Maine so handily...

[VinnyTheBozo @BozoVinny]

Kirsten Gillibrand called Mamdani a "Jihadist" *after* he won and said we had to reject "Islamism" I think we all underestimate how low Moderate Democrats will go to cut the left down.

[Chase Madar @ChaseMadar]

Stevens and McMorrow should have moderated their radical views on Middle East policy, views which are increasingly out of step with Michigan voters

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

A professor in the U.S. was suspended for mentioning Palestinians, just days after Hasan Piker was barred from the UK for condemning a genocide.

Your rights are being stripped away in service of Israel’s impunity.
