The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

I’ve despised the Times since 2016, but I’ve discovered that I’m capable of hating them - and the WaPo, and the Atlantic - SO much more than I ever did before. And we absolutely can collectively punish them.

Wild, that some people that look at Project 2025 and dismiss it, when 23,000 people in Texas had to birth their rapist’s baby last year, a parent has to sign an affidavit each time their child goes to the library in Idaho, and there’s an open war on Trans people. Folks in red states are living it.

Project 2025 is a huge problem for Trump because the swing voters that matter most don’t believe he’ll actually carry out his agenda. A thousand-page plan and thousands of his allies who have spent years preparing to execute it says HE WILL.

I strongly disagree that this is a “bus shoving”. This is an “I don’t want to answer questions about it. I want to be seen as my own man. I want to maintain structural ambiguity.”

For everyone on here that is worried that voters are as willfully credulous as our news media, the Biden campaign understands that Trumps post about Project 2025 is an admission of vulnerability and they are leaning in harder on tying him to it.

Johnny McEntee, one of Trump's most loyal deputies who is in regular contact with him, is literally one of the people collecting resumes for staffers who would implement Project 2025. Shame on any journalistic outfit who takes this "truth" at face value.

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

In light of the latest round of bullshit in the NYT or WaPo or other "papers of note," I offer you Gen. Sherman's words: "You have heretofore read public sentiment in your newspapers, that live by falsehood and excitement; and the quicker you seek for truth in other quarters, the better."

for me, JAWS has become a covid movie, tho it's about many things, and its original themes still resonate. that feeling in your gut when something's fucked. everyone tells you it's fine, and why, and you know they're wrong. and you wait. and then you regret waiting. JAWS is about that feeling.

The MAGA movement will not be shamed by pointing out the basic features of a liberal pluralist democracy. They don't believe in any of it. They see it as a weakness, something that merely holds them back or slows their efforts to reshape their world.

i was just going to make a post about this. if trump decides you are an enemy of the state or a “threat to national security” and has you deported, citizenship or not, there’s nothing you can do to get home. he has full legal power to render you stateless.
