We haven't learned to stop posting Yashar? Lmao. Also interesting: He linked to a WaPo story and Lieu flatly denied it. The WaPo story says Lieu asked him to step aside. The @washingtonpost.com is straight up printing lies. You should be proud, you dogshit rag.

The New York times literally running the 14 words in a piece on the print edition main page. “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is a mainstreamed version of the 14 words.

The "Ukraine never in NATO" crowd seems to think they're avoiding confrontation with Russia, but they're actually encouraging Russia in a confrontation that's well underway. Events are past the point where "don't make Russia nervous, don't push back, or they might get aggressive" becomes denial.

For the people who don’t have time, here’s your Readers Digest version. You’re welcome.

MSM want Trump to win so badly and for all of us to live under a dictatorship so that their billionaire owners can make a few more bucks. Are you ready to be sent to camps and/or killed bc of these fuckers? I’m personally not and so scared that so many don’t understand what is at stake here 😔

In the week following the debate the New York Times ran 192 stories about Biden's performance and six about Project 2025. x.com/Will_Bunch/s...

I maintain that Trump would never have become a viable candidate in 2015 if the national media hadn't treated him like a viable candidate. We have *so much* research on the ways media narratives make or break candidates.

one of the most dishonest things people in my profession do is pretend as if “the story” and “the narrative” isn’t something they have direct control over

I gotta say that people are having a lot of trouble distinguishing cognitive decline (Trump) from age-related changes in expression (Biden). Biden is elderly and talks like it. Trump literally does not have preserved reality-testing

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

The US far-right is now openly suggesting to kill their political opponents, Trump, Musk & Co need to be dealt with sooner rather than later.

I think this is the first time Musk has suggested fellow Americans should be executed.

Just going to put this out there: Biden has been the most legislatively effective president since LBJ. The most pro-labor president WW2. He's done more re climate change than any POTUS. He's built an international coalition for Ukraine despite Russia-fueld GOP opposition. And yeah: he's hella old.

My favorite part of the West Wing fantasies about replacing Biden is the idea that there wouldn’t immediately be a new fatal flaw with whoever replaced him.

I don't take the age thing seriously. THEY PICK A LIE ABOUT EVERY DEM, and the press knows it's some BS but plays along. They know that the other guy is worse in every way, especially his brain. They turned being a war hero into a liability against a fortunate son draft dodger.

The President declares forcefully that he is staying in the race. The Post leads with another attempt to behead him and puts the candidate's declaration in tiny type. This is not news judgment. This is an agenda. It is a newspaper now run by Murdochians. The Post, too, is broken.

Robinson is hardly the only Republican using language like this. At this point it's pretty close to the official position of the party to call for their political opponents to be arrested, jailed, subject to military tribunal, beaten up, or killed. They're not being subtle about it.

There is a story to be told right now about an elder statesman ably overseeing a strong economy, falling crime rates, falling inflation, even as he deals with the inevitable health struggles of a man in his early 80s. I don’t think I’ve seen that story anywhere

Beat, 206k payrolls, but 111k revised off last two months. Unemployment rate up to 4.1%, average hourly earnings on expectations for MoM and YoY.

So here we have a GOP gubernatorial nominee calling for followers to kill people who he claims are enemies of Christian America. How many chin-stroking pieces are we going to see about how the GOP is in real trouble now that one of its candidate is really ol--I mean violent?

I've written for years about the Christian right's calls for "spiritual warfare" against demonic enemies of Christian America. They used to claim their struggle is against "powers and principalities" not "flesh and blood," citing Ephesians 6:12. But it was still dangerous. Now we see how.
