Prayers up for the Democrats who voted strategically for Haley in the primary, and will now get decades of GOP direct mail.

That moment when a neoconservative offers up a textbook example of appeasement. www.politico.com/news/2024/07...

Trump didn’t invite Haley to the RNC. She’s encouraging her delegates to back him anyway.www.politico.com Haley’s decision to release all of her delegates was the final detente between her and Trump.

According to new tables from the Tax Policy Center, if the Trump tax cuts were extended, more than 10% of middle class households would see a tax increase (of ~$1,300 on average), while the average 0.1%er would get a tax cut of around $340,000.

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

Without a doubt John Roberts has the air of a spoiled rich kid who’s been told he’s a special boy his whole life and got straight A’s on C- work because his parents cut a huge check to the school every year.

There's definitely a techbro follymath vibe with some of the court's recent conservative opinions. Only instead of pronouncing themselves experts after reading a few Wikipedia pages, it's after thumbing through a Claremont amicus brief.

Listening to an interview with an Intercept guy who's been reporting from Gaza and he asked a source if they could use Google Meet and the guy said "Hamas prefers Zoom," which I can already tell is one of those phrases that's going to rattle around in my head forever.

Would love to see the Venn Diagram of "Thinks Russia bombing hospitals is bad" and "Thinks Israel bombing hospitals is bad." Exist in that overlap! Too few people seem to.

My uninformed guess is that the Times ownership is less interested in who actually wins the presidency than in throwing their weight around and reasserting themselves as an Important Political Entity. They want to show dominance and recapture some of their dwindling relevance. It's not gone well

As a semi-former journalist who went to journalism school and is friends with lots of journalists and defended US journalism for a very long time: US big-media political journalism absolutely HAS gone down a shameful, disgusting road, and saying that isn’t an illiberal act.

okay that's it, fuck it, i've seen one too many of these craterbrained "criticizing journalists is illiberal" takes and i can't fucking take it anymore. it is not in fact a violation of Liberal Fundamentals to tell journos that they fucking suck when they manifestly fucking suck. next question

It always astounds me how cartoonishly stupid the far right are. For all their highbrow talk of classical western civilization and obsession with IQ they're just a bunch of losers yelling at meteorologists for not making the weather be good.

Project 2025 describes NOAA as a “colossal operation that has become one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry and, as such, is harmful to future US prosperity” NOAA is primarily responsible for the National Weather Service amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro are both in prison right now because they preferred incarceration to telling what they know about Donald Trump and what they helped him do on January 6th.

Why? Because he is guilty and doesn't want America and the world to hear the evidence! www.theguardian.com/us-news/arti...

I am not the first to make this point but if the whole premise is that the president is not competent, and the president outmaneuvers you....

An unnamed House Democrat who wishes Biden would step aside texts Axios and NOTUS: "The dam is holding." To Axios: "As someone who wanted the reckoning and is disappointed that it's over, trust me: it's over." To NOTUS: “They’ve outflanked us with the CBC and others ... It feels closed for now."

This is also an indicator that many voters are just kind of checked out but DON’T want the far right to win, either - and they’ll turn out if they get spooked enough. We should remember this in the US

The real joy is in smelling Manhattan during the summer. The milky beige puddles that line midtown curbs are a particular highlight.

Honestly, seeing people find out in the wild that New York City has giant mounds of trash bags ten feet high along every sidewalk in the city three or four times a week is one of the great pleasures of the internet. Yes, the entire city. Every trash day. Looks like this. For real, not a joke.
