You cannot defeat tyranny while still offering it human sacrifices. Leave no one behind. Angry leftist. Unspectacular old white guy. (He/Him)

East Potomac costs $42 to play and hosts thousands of people each year. A lot of the players are beginners. A lot of them don't have that much money. A lot of them are black. This is the course Donald Trump has decided shouldn't exist, and in the past, he's been fairly explicit about why not

Bluesky I know you do not care about golf. But I am telling you that in this specific case, you SHOULD care about golf. I explain in @slate.com what the Trump administration is doing to East Potomac Golf Course in D.C. slate.com/culture/2026...

Nothing I can say here that won't get me arrested. Voting Blue is nice and all, but unless we get Democratic leadership willing to go scorched Earth, it will be meaningless.

"We don't care what our voters think." Man, truly puzzling how this party keeps losing national elections. Better get Sherlock Holmes on this one.

Look. Arch Manning just isn't that guy. The expectations put upon him just because of his name and heritage were totally unrealistic, and we see that every time he plays a really good team.

I'll put this in terms the Left can understand: Lake Ontario identified as Lake America, and it transitioned. Smile and hold for laughs to connect with audience and appear presidential. by J.D. Vance

Just SAYING something this outlandish and utterly impossible should bring you a fraud charge. Elon Musk and Dylan Taylor and all these other grifters just spout any random technologically impossible bullshit for a stock bump, pocket the profits, and move on to the next scam idea.

NEW: Two-hundred-and-fifty years in, Justice Jackson is doing the work that is needed from our leaders. The United States needs leaders willing to speak forthrightly about our past and ambitiously about our future in order to make it through the treacherous present. This Fourth, at Law Dork:

Horrifying updates from Venezuela. Only 188 confirmed dead so far, but over 45,000 people missing. With tons of heavy-lift equipment needed to move rubble, it will likely be months before we have the final death toll.

We are so far beyond even Teapot Dome levels of "government captured by private industry" in this country, and Democrats genuinely seem to believe their unpopularity is driven by being too nice to trans people, instead of being driven by their screamingly obvious hypocrisy about this.

The US-funded Iron Dome over Israel and the US-made Patriot ground-to-air missile defense systems around the Gulf have been complete failures at stopping the counterattacks from a nation with a modern missile system like Iran.

conservatives are more angry about the coverage of the murder than the murder itself because JD and all these nazis think killing people who oppose them is good and they want to do it more without the pushback

There's no oscillation. A program designed to force a white supremacist society to include people who are being unnaturally restricted is not discriminatory, and is good. White christian conservatives wouldn't be able to handle actual discrimination. They can't even handle equality. Weak.

Tammy Baldwin is a TERF. Man, Wisconsin can't have anything nice.

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

Unfortunately, the United States only has two major political parties and they are both on the side of the billionaires.

Steve Randy Waldman@interfluidity.com

"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

Look, I hate conspiracy theories, buuuuuuut... does anyone *really* believe there was THIS MUCH of a nationwide shift to the left in just 12 months? Can we at least consider there was some funny business with Trump sweeping ALL of the swing states in 2024?
