Bill Kristol is now openly shilling for DSA candidates.

Once you understand that guys like him essentially made up the ruling class of the GOP for 30+ years, it all starts to make sense why Republicans operated like controlled opposition for a generation.

I’ve watched so much soccer that I’ve stopped worrying when players get hurt.

@KrannichSolarUS Your rep at the Sacramento airport can’t stop dropping f-bombs with families all around him.

How many came via 747, 787, or A380 on a 10 hour trip, and then went back less than 60 days later with a newborn child?

You’re telling me that Nina Totenberg formed a half-assed opinion about the work of the Supreme Court, based on a set of fashionable false assumptions, and without checking the details first? I refuse to believe it.

People are dunking on her, but under the old patronage system, Republicans would hire Republican civil servants and Democrats would hire Democrats, but we wisely got rid of that system so that no matter who was elected President, the federal workforce would always be Democrats.

Inconvenient facts for Zohran Mamdani @NYCMayor:

Countries with an official religion: 43
Officially Islamic: 27
Officially Christian: 13
Officially Jewish: 0 (Israel does not have an official state religion)

*None* of the countries with Islam as the official state religion fully protect the rights of religious minorities to the exact same extent as Muslims, in both law and practice.

Thank you.

Mamdani's getting all praise for a rent freeze. But what about rent reduction? How does it help people to freeze rent at barely survival levels?

I’m not sure who is going to win this far out but the important thing is to get extremely emotionally invested in your candidate of choice, bully all possible opponents, and then stay home when your preferred candidate drops out after Iowa.

Sir, did you think it was just going to be Jewish students on college campuses who were going to be threatened and harassed?

[Andrew Fleischman @ASFleischman]

I would love to destroy the post office: the institution whose sole remaining purpose is sending me junk mail and requiring "certified mail" for important legal documents when an email is better in literally every way.

While we’re at it, let’s try phrenology, alchemy, maybe a little Lysenkoism, collectivized agriculture, and other “cool” new ideas for, you know, a short term basis. Just until we figure out whether they work, because you can’t know until we try.
