But if those edgy offensive jokes are about Charlie Kirk, Vance suggests you call their employer to have them fired

If I had to pay $6,400 to be on a cruise with Scott Walker, the ship had better go down, taking him with it.

To be fair, I think she realizes she’s probably getting a primary challenger in the near future.

I don’t love her, she’s not been great. But her instincts are much sharper than those of Schumer, Gillibrand, and Jeffries. She can see where the wind is blowing.

Hochul isn’t great, but she’s not an idiot either. Her instincts are leaps and bounds better than Schumer, Gillibrand, and Jeffries.

Yeah, you’ve got a lot of increasingly unpopular figures lining up behind Mills. Schumer and Gillibrand aren’t exactly the ringing endorsement a primary candidate needs at this moment.

If only John Oliver were secretly the @nytpitchbot.bsky.social! It would raise my respect for John Oliver to newfound heights.

I doubt either Trump has read a single sentence of that book. (Which is fair, in a way, because it probably sucks.)

Yeah, after a while it became way too obvious that strategists and consultants (and donors) were forcing her hand. I voted for her eagerly despite being disappointed with her (and Walz’s) increasing moderation.

Whereas she put up a great fight, there was no universe where Biden could’ve won again.

We have rejected clean-energy production and high-tech manufacturing in favor of sock factories, coal mines, and hallucination machines.

“Virtue signaling” has been an all-purpose tool to invalidate any form of advocacy which isn’t centered around selfishness.

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

Me too. I have no tolerance for that bs anymore.

And this highlights one of the biggest flaws in the media at this time. Very few reporters or talking heads are pushing back on this feigned ignorance.

I don’t know. I haven’t seen that. I haven’t heard about it. I’d have to look into it. Rinse and repeat. Does anyone know ANYTHING?

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

You know things have gotten bad when the WSJ, as awful as it is, is somehow more tethered to reality than the NYT.
