What if Victor Mesa, Jr. just sucks?

"Leader Jeffries: What is the Democrats' plan to address rampant lawbreaking by ICE agents?" seems like a question that should be asked every day

interestingly this interest in black voters doesn’t extend to the republican effort to deprive them of federal representation, nor do they seem interested in asking whether republican candidates are burdened by the fact that trump talks like a klansman

Economic factors are the most salient parts of elections for the gettable voters. Not voting out of confidence is not a thing that happens in any substantial way. And this is Bluesky, around people talking about elections. Everyone is voting.

i would love a liberal who believes in borders to tell me: how should this have been handled? how should we detect whether someone is a good family man with 3 precious babies or a nefarious criminal leech harboring a nest of future takers if we can't rely on paperwork?

FT article with firsthand account of Paris rioting, including perhaps the most Financial Times clause ever written as.ft.com/r/3b05eac8-c...

Holy f*ck Brent isn't kidding. Some of the dumbest, least informed people you'll ever encounter are Iowa's swing voters.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

Prospect.org doing great work on ICE's pursuit of a GOP Senate--and TAP never paywalls you on their reporting. Drop a donation if you can.

Check out this CPE erasure. Just brazen

One way to describe the failure of the press in our moment is their completely inability to engage in second order thinking. If you have enough status, you can tell the press anything and they will just dutifully repeat it. It doesn't matter if the last 100 things you have said have all been lies.

NEW: Lindsay Graham and Jim Clyburn were under FBI investigation for bribery. Then Trump dismantled the DOJ & FBI public corruption units. The investigation died. We unearthed it: www.propublica.org/article/nava...

Only watched 3 innings of Rays-Guardians tonight but jfc the TNT digital scoreboard has been embarrassingly off. Counts wrong, now THE F'IN SCORE WRONG IN A BASES LOADED ALL ON THE LINE SITUATION. Seriously get a functioning body there or replace your robots @tntsportsus.bsky.social

lololol

Why do people say the Dem brand is dogsh*t while also saying they'd never vote for a Republican?

Between this and the Rays getting stomped in Tampa...what a day for bsseball

On the bright side, this idiocy has now concluded

Ok white girls, I guess you don’t have to be mad about this.

Statistics are my passion--that's how my poll numbers add up to 127% Bro turd-brain hasn't had 60% approval in PA in his life

"Mikie Sherrill allowed her own state police to beat us up! They did the same thing to our indigenous brothers & sisters."

Weird how the NYTimes couldn't fit "Republican" into this article about the pedophile Republican Speaker of the House under GW Bush

The best time to get a plug-in EV was 15 years ago. The second best time is now Seriously plug-in hybrids do everything you need, get 90 mpg, and charge on the same outlet as your phone. Get a used Ford C Max Energi ($6K-10K) -- ultimate city car. Get a Honda Clarity PHEV if you're in the suburbs

There's delusional, and then there's "the Red Sox were only a healthy Tristan Casas and Tanner Houck away from beating the Yankees this series." As of yet they have not diagnosed this condition. Career stats: Houck (30 yrs old) 24-33 4.00 ERA Casas (26 yrs old) .241 BA, 2.2 WAR

Putting a bow on this: 8.75 bullpen ERA for the Red Sox in 15 games against the Yankees

Yeah it's like putting on a green mascot costume head to celebrate a solo home run while you're getting outscored 18-2

Lol Merloni whining about Red Sox injuries for 48 hours while the best hitter in baseball is on the Yankees bench

Red Sox analytics team working feverishly on a loophole to get Eric Miller back into game 2 to work the 8th.

Not sure who's sadder: Garrett Whitlock or Lou Merloni

Al Bello (Getty) with a game-explaining shot

Look when they say they're mouth-breathing Neanderthals... Anyway, I

130 million dollars to a lemon made of glass and paper mache

Sure the Red Sox look pathetic but listening to Lou Merloni wishcast for 3 hours is beneath a national audience

Ohhhh some Red Sox fans left early and had to do the walk of shame as they went down the stairs from the upper deck 😅 They were not prepared to be roasted like that 😂

Icon.

Hoover I believe had a bit less of defections than this. In 2024 context Trump got 77m votes so he’s lost 15m voters on approval

that 18 percent seems really well represented in the news and on social media bsky.app/profile/atru...

She's a horrendous campaigner and mediocre gov but Rs had their shot in '22 and blew it w/ Lee f'in Zeldin. Not even a possibility this year (scaredys, see: NJ)

No child should have to grow up wondering whether the next bomb is going to hit their home. No parent should have to wonder whether they can feed their kid or keep them alive. And American taxpayer dollars should not be used to keep fueling that suffering.

Well at least Blue Jays fans are taking loudmouth Vlad's comments well as they get eliminated from playoff contention. Only thing sadder than Vlad's 9 HR is the fact Toronto doesn't have much to look forward to in '27

The John Coltrane Centennial broadcast (a 100 hour affair) is steaming along on the indispensable WKCR. Tune in and leave it on, have your mind blown for the next 38 hours wkcr.org

Anyone who wants to understand how policing works in the U.S. needs to read this incredible local investigation about what Minneapolis police did after feds killed Renee Good.

CVH LFG

this is what the segments would look like on a left-wing fox news right now - should trump be impeached over gas prices? - a count of the number of times he said the strait was opened - hegseths obsession with erect penis and hairless bodies - another gas price segment - silly animals

I once again salute the Harper's Letter Signers for saving free speech. You did it. In a moment during Trump I when he was at his most authoritarian and vindictive, you all decided people opposing him and calling for equality were being too strident and needed a smack. Great call.
