I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel, "as ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal”

I think billboards highlighting each chapter of Project 2025 placed in specific locations. For example the chapter on gutting military benefits should have billboards on highways near big military bases. Plans for destroying Social Security have billboards all over in Arizona and Florida.

I hadn't seen this reported anywhere else and Lieu just tweeted that it's not true, just fyi,

“In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, unless rando commentors and think tankers have their own bad ideas they want to try.” Art. 2, Sec. 1

"heir presumptive" needs to "[rise] to the top"

This is how.

How do we adjust to a world where major democracies have long-term viable fascist parties? It feels like we'll just be having existential election after existential election, and we have to win every time whereas they only have to win once.

Beginning to wonder if Serious Moderate journalists are the ones who actually want the far right in power but they’re afraid to admit it so they project the enthusiasm for the far right onto a populist juggernaut that doesn’t actually exist! Many such cases!

The perception of an inevitable fascist victory in Europe is largely just the wishcasting of mainstream media publications saying that fascist victory is inevitable. See how the BBC spins National Rally's loss.

@euronews: 🇪🇸 Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez seems pleased with the French (and UK) election results. "There is no agreement or government with the extreme right," he said in a post on X. https://t.co/1BamVU5jTf

When you don’t tax your billionaires and millionaires they not only start thinking shit like this is a good idea and they should try it

every day there’s a new worst idea i’ve heard, but i need to find the 2% gallon* of white guys behind this & hold each of their heads one by one in a row of highway rest area toilets. taylor swift is so silly you almost skip over oprah, who brought us dr oz, dr phil, & jd vance’s hillbilly elegy!

Maybe we should have taken lessons from all the 2000s reality shows whose premise was making basic necessities (cars, housing, food) prohibitively expensive and largely useless for working class people

Just a reminder that Michelle Wolf nailed it at the White House Correspondents Dinner. NYT, I’m looking in your direction especially.

Stephanopoulos sounded like his job was to try to get Biden to drop out. "Don't you think you're too old/senile/etc?" and when Biden says "Nah, man, look at the job in doing", he asks "Seriously, I think you're too old/senile/etc, you don't really think you're too old/senile/etc?"

From “Mr. Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!” to “Mr. Roberts has made his decision and this fucking rules” in less than 200 years.

I was toying yesterday with the thought of starting an offshoot political party with the sole plank of Reconstruction. We’d have awesome merch. Want in?

Just had the thought that it’s very funny to me that “war chest” is slang for a bunch of money you’re sitting on to fund a political campaign when, historically, we’ve been so bad about funding wars through anything other than bonds or one-year appropriations.

Say what you will about the various Democratic party actors in the fight over whether Biden stays on the ticket, but I can understand all of their behavior much better than I can the journalists who are trying to write their way into the camps

A deal: I will pay an extra set of dues to my progressive national security organization for every person you let me kick out of it.

you are not crazy, this is an entirely true statement that many, many more people need to print out, tape up to their mirror, and ground themselves with every morning. it is fucking JULY. everybody needs to pop an edible and calm the fuck down.

Am I fucking crazy, or has this been one shitty debate performance, followed by a week plus of story after story about "panic" etc? No new evidence that he's unable to do it, just constant "people are saying"?

Joe Biden refusing to take advice from people who have been wrong about everything for decades could be seen as an indication his brain is still working
