Everyone has their beats when it comes to politics. For example, I try to tie everything to state legislative elections.
I'm just glad my beat isn't trying to dunk on progressives and promoting an ideology that's rapidly dying because being milquetoast in 2025 is lame as hell

This has been my whole freaking life. Every time Republicans take power people are like goddamit this is awful, they get voted out, then two years later people are like hmmm Republicans again
Cosmically funny that, the American public has had less than a year of uncut republican governance, and they’ve decided that they absolutely hate this shit, spit it out

Trump gained the war on Cancer on the side of Cancer.
While the administration has said it is cutting “woke programs” that “poison the minds of Americans", it actually funded fewer grants in every area of science and medicine.
“They brought everything to a stop,” said Sarah Kobrin, a branch chief at the N.I.H.’s National Cancer Institute

To give you an idea of how ridiculous the gerrymandering in Nashville is, here’s our district. They diluted a third of Nashville into a rural area about 50 times as large that extends north to the Kentucky border and about a third of the length of the state to the east.

The thing that Trump could do that would boost the GOP’s number is probably give up the ghost, but that may make the GOP’s problems even worse since they’re being held up by his cult of personality which goes when he does.
a thing to ask yourself re: the GOP's electoral position is what could happen over the next year that could *improve* its position? and what could trump do, plausibly, that might *boost* his numbers with the public?

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.

Gonna be real close to a 300 or sub-300 murder year in NYC. If the weather sucks this month, we may get there.
I can't believe the incumbent mayor didn't even run for reelection here. It's amazing how bad Adams was.

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

It's really a good glimpse into their Too Online mindset. The idiots on X eat it up but Sabrina Carpenter is significantly more popular than Trump and always will be. They're not winning that fight.
i personally think it's smart for a wildly unpopular administration to pick unnecessary and bizarre fights with beloved celebrities

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry
