I haven't written any effusive letters to Trump, don't worry — but I realized this week that I have a unique perspective on this Natalie Harp business. Thanks to @newrepublic.com for granting space to write about it.

The DOJ putting in work to turn make "GOTV season" stand for 'get out the voir dire season,' I see.

"As I near 60 years old, the expiration date has come and gone on any of my youthful indiscretions": so he was sexting at age 53, 'youthfully'? Ew. Ewww.

Conservatives say “those liberals are obsessed with identity politics!” — but then haul out a grievance that’s old enough to vote to whine like this.

"On some days, Trump's arch would even shade the grave and eternal flame of JFK." 10/10 no notes metaphor

- I … sorry: “don’t produce literature”? - nobody tell this asshole where our numerals came from — deal? – if he needed to name something that doesn’t produce science, he could just have introduced himself.

“It’s totally weird to care so much about an election in another country”: oh, well someone should tell Trump.

Saw this stenciled on the sidewalk along Hillhurst in front of Maru on Saturday, and I am _not_ surprised that some half-assed PAC with a lazy-looking, built-in-ChatGPT site is behind it.

[in a very NATHAN LANE voice:] 🎶 curtains / for Zoosha / the grunt's flipping 🎻

They booked Trump in Corinth, a town bestriding U.S. 72 in the asscrack of nowhere. *Corinth*: pop. 14,622. I take nothing for granted, but these folks are down bad.

Trump's odd recent rally rhetoric is ultimately beside the point; surpassing anything else, his sexual orientation is 'nonconsensual.' Violating boundaries thrills him. Even his talk of Husted makes treats him as a slab of meat — there for Trump to ogle and manhandle.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

And here my antique ass is asking, with my mind on a past filled with 'rules' and 'decorum' and 'the Hatch Act': Why is a White House social account posting political travel itineraries?

Right, re: the below — and this is why the Senate rules and other veto points are so toxic to Dem interests. "We can just do things, if we elect 60 senators who agree that 51 senators of 100 should be enough to pass laws, but tradition …" is a windy excuse for not using lawmaking power.

one handy thing the CCP and Putin have demonstrated is you can just ban these companies from operating in your country. replacements will sprout up extremely fast

Ten years ago this week …

Is this the same Tim Scott who suddenly sprouted a beard right around the time he started to run for president, or … ?

Move over Baghdad Bob

elon musk, who is spending nearly half a billion to buy the election for donald trump and republicans, is running ads attacking mary peltola for being a puppet of "liberal billionaires" *blink blink*

… yeah, that squares.

A gang of mall cops breaking some neurodivergent kid's wrist because he fit a description, then ditching him in pain on the street w/o calling help. After all this, the agents of ICE need to be banned from public employment for life.

[TRANSLATION: Skydance is doing a soft layoff, before going forward with the formal one.]

Public offerings that give one person & their heirs perpetual free rein over a company — able to mismanage to the tune of billions at a time, with impunity — need to be significantly restricted, if not regulated from existence.

“When we’re talking about influence, I think there’s very influential people who are supporting your campaign, who are very, very much advocates for bike lanes.” – Karen Bass, in a recent debate Montclair’s just over the co. line, but … you’re so right, mayor. We don’t have enough carnage here.

Forget touching grass; someone who asks an LLM “what makes my child special” needs to touch an entire damned prairie.

I'm quite willing to forgive this from a 27-year-old. Welcome to adulthood! A little late to it but happy you're here regardless.

Not even to dignify the nonsense below as claims worthy of answering, but … c’mon.

Just say the N-word already, dawg. This is taking forever.

One of the most effective things Obama could do for the party is let it rip like this all year long. He's so good, but he saves it for rallies a few weeks before elections like it's a severely-limited resource and that's just not how the modern communications environment has evolved.

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes. And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.

California and Washington asked the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in May to validate a new way to test for measles – but after waiting two months, the CDC denied the request www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Oooh, an idea: take what Confederate monuments the government still owns and melt them someday at the summit of Stone Mountain, in a pyre that looks like Gondor calling for aid.
