Kathy Hochul is who everyone thought Gretchen Whitmer was, and Gretchen Whitmer is who everyone thought Kathy Hochul was

That the two strategic outlooks seemed to shift almost in a direct mirror of each other may not be deliberate but it is fascinating

I resent having to give Kathy Hochul credit but sometimes she deserves it.

Also, whatever gets designated "conservative" in the future can't have the ideas that current Republicans have. We can't have parties dedicated to theocracy, to treating any group of people as less-than, or to letting business enslave the labor force. Avoiding those things must be mandatory.

I fervently believe short story authors should tour around in packs of three reading each others stories and having off the cuff audience discussions about the moral and ethical quandaries therein like Lyle Lovett Guy Clark and REK used to do

I think MFA programs should be able to bring back our favorite grad students for an all-star celebrity cohort season, like on reality shows.

Great moment in catch-22, clevinger confides his fear @ upcoming military trail

Yossarian is glum: They hate Jews.

Clevinger: But I’m not Jewish!

Yossarian: It won’t matter.

Competence? It’s always the liberals who expect a certain level of competence out of govt as opposed to, say, retail

It's apparently antisemitic to point out that Bari Weiss has no reporting experience?

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 18h

Fox News host Emily Compagno claims that the backlash to Bari Weiss being named CBS News editor-in-chief is due to her being Jewish:

"This kind of thing would make me laugh if there was not an antisemitic thread in there."

People think I'm being hyperbolic when I say "Yeah the GOP is just pro-slavery at this point."

If their actual farm labor policy wasn't enough, there's always this.

Screenshot from the Politico article on a leaked Young Republicans group chat.

"They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery."

Screenshot. "In another conversation in February, Giunta talks approvingly about the Orange County Teenager Republican organization in New York- which appears to be part of the network of national Teen Age Republicans- and how he was pleased with its young members' ideological bent.

"They support slavery and all that shit. Mega based."

I am talking strategy not tactics

I don’t care as much about who wins

Mamdami demo’d that is not the point

I care about a process that seems heavy on “let me find the oldest least progressive candidate i can”

What kind of success have you seen Dems have with producing “really engaged” 79 yo leaders” because outside Bernie I am drawing a blank

It seems like there is a dramatic issue in other direction, no?

Speaker Mike Johnson just said he's completely fine with ICE agents shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and roughing up journalists.

I'm sure he'll tell us soon about how it's the Democrats who are waging a war on religion and free speech though.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.
