This is now a Tim Walz stan account until Dems fuck it up by picking someone they think the NYT will like. Edit 8/6: Well I’ll be damned Edit 11/7: Still a fan 😭

The best way to understand what the modern Republican party is doing is gleeful civic blasphemy.
"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record.

Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

You know what else? Unlike JD, unlike Trump, unlike Miller, many of us have ancestors who actually fought in the Civil War and I find this wildly disrespectful of their sacrifice

A grave historical mistake that the leaders of the Confederacy were not tried and hanged.

It disgusts me that the United States government is posting this propaganda across multiple branches. The Department of *Labor* is making Confederate references? Is the plan for “labor” to become “slaves”?! What THE FUCK and ALSO you LOST

Not a psychologist, teacher, or, for that matter university student.

But I think this is happening because the facade of normal daily life during all this is starting to get too heavy to hold up.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Wow, so Biden could control all of these things but Trump can’t? Pretty weak!
FOX: There is a lot statistics & anecdotes that reflect a downward trend for small business optimism. What can we look forward to for relief?

LOEFFLER: They've struggled under not only Bidenflation, but the massive regulatory agenda of the Biden administration. And then the Democrat shutdown ...

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

I wonder if one day Stephen Miller will find out that the white people he believes himself to be assimilated into do not in fact consider him white.

It really sticks in my craw how the admin is unwilling to even issue a single communication that is not overtly framed as a political attack. And all of the beltway pundits who insist on bipartisanship above all else from Democrats see these attacks as priced in and unworthy of their attention.

Old Polish joke; two old friends meet for the first time in a while and stop to chat. "How's your year been?" asks the first. The second one shrugs. "Oh, you know" he says, "about average. Worse than last year, better than the next."
2025 actually did suck. i know we've all said this about a lot of previous years but this one was quite bad actually

Every. Day.
The headline every day should be that across the nation, across every district of voters, across all wings of the party, there aren’t even a *dozen* elected Republicans who oppose any of this.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Important to do this press conference about a mass shooting from behind a comic book convention’s folding table inside the hotel from The Shining.

I think plenty of it speaks to the state of the media, but an obvious one is that Vox and Vanity Fair barely investigated her and that she managed to commit an unforgivable journalistic crime before getting a book deal and walking into another prestige job, while plenty of others are being laid off
you know, what if they aren't actually a commentary on journalism or the state of media. what if these people are just extremely weird

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

I hope that this doesn't just become about "Nuzzi is bad" but fosters a wider recognition that our culture of political journalism that didn't just tolerate her, but promoted and celebrated her even after the allegations were known, is rotten to the core and has been for a long time.
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

To summarize. According to Lizza, Nuzzi, in addition to fucking multiple subjects without disclosure:

1) outed a confidential source
2) fed source information to RFK
3) damaged other people’s reputation through anonymous posts on Reddit
4) advised RFK and repeatedly acted on his behalf

But now he sees her capitalizing off of cuckolding him and he is releasing it now to reassert his dominance over her.

They are both irredeemable pieces of shit.

You can’t tell me that in a world as small as DC no one but Ryan Lizza knew what was going on. And none of them said shit about it because they all like Trump and wanted to help him win. Complete elite failure and betrayal.
