The Young Republicans worship the same ideologies as the old Republicans. We should only be surprised that this leaked, not that it was happening in the first place.

Hochul is very much a centrist; kind of notable she's willing to be this direct about it.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

When people show you who they are, believe them.

And of course JD Vance refused to condemn this.

Not to mention that there’s only so much fossil fuel on the planet and we’re eventually going to run out. May as well start finding alternatives now.

You would think that the person right after the VP in the line of succession would be a little better informed about things, but he doesn’t seem to know much about anything. While I suppose it’s possible he doesn’t follow current events, I think it’s more likely he’s not being completely candid.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

My favorite story told time and again is that of the rich man who decides to 'do it again from scratch' to prove it was not luck damn you

and this list of those who succeeded

Sisyphus, but for obscenely wealthy people - every day they generate untold wealth and then it all gets distributed to the population and they have to get up and do it again tomorrow.😈

The obscenely wealthy tell us they have unique wealth-generating powers, so let them prove it every day

Democrats need to accept that Trump will indict his political enemies. But if Democrats respond by later indicting the DOJ officials who illegally carried out Trump's indictments, that will be end of our Republic.

I recruited Janet Mills to run for Senate because, at 72, Susan Collins is too young for the job.

Unfortunately, there aren’t any other options for broadband right now. There’s a company based in a neighboring county that offers fiber, and they’re expanding toward me, but they aren’t to me yet. Once they’re an option, I’ll probably go with them.

I’m old enough to remember when government requests to tech companies were considered by conservatives to be the worst form of censorship ever.

Renee DiResta @noupside.bsky.social · 18h

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!
