Pathetic. Utterly pathetic

GOP Members of Congress correctly noting that the White House treats them like garbage, Speaker Mike Johnson lets it happen because he wants to, the legislature has been usurped, so… they’ll quit, rather than vote for a new Speaker or do oversight of the executive branch.

This conversion between Ezra and Fareed is exceptional.

Gets to the heart of this moment we are in, why democrats and the center left failed, and how to move ahead.

Notably - Fareed echoes what @radiofreetom.bsky.social says. Bored affluence leads to fascism much more than economic struggles.
With Fareed Zakaria, host of “Fareed Zakaria GPS” on CNN and the author of the book “Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash From 1600 to the Present.”

Discussing the “revolution” we may be living through, the forces driving it, and how the Democratic Party can adapt.

One fascinating and yet expected thing is that none of the big foreign accounts pretending to be American are left of center, or even anti-Trump. Not a single one. Says something about the economics and geopolitics of political grifting
If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

These Gen Z idiots really thought deporting the undocumented immigrants who live in broken down townhomes in Putnam County was going to bring down the rent in Bushwick.

Low key though having friendly conversations with someone you viscerally hate and they know you hate them is a real New Yorker skill.

I hate my MAGA in laws. They hate my “socialist” tendencies. We bond over how much we hate Cuomo.

It may be hard to believe, but Twitter was once a useful public space instead of a weird monetization scheme for racist ragebait chatbots.

Tom is correct. The big mistake was Biden running. No good solution by June/July of 2024.

And at the end of the day, the poor real income growth that resulted from the inflation would have held back any Democratic nominee. Not clear the main problem was the nominee at all.
I disagree with Eric here. I think a quick mini primary would have turned into a shit show.
Obama feebly tried to stage an open convention. That would have been much, much better.

It was never clear to me why Democrats rallied around Harris so immediately, except for some weird notion on appearing unified.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene is leaving Congress because she thinks she pocketed enough money, or because she has bigger political ambitions and think this will help, or whatever else, who cares. It's driving a wedge into the Trump coalition. One can recognize that as a positive development regardless.

Between the shutdown, the drops in bitcoin and some speculative stocks, the electoral losses, and maybe a shift in the economy it does seem like Trump lost the new part of his coalition over the past month (plus some true believers like MTG):

The fact that both of these people have prestige jobs despite being not just terrible people who are actively eroding faith in the industry and humanity in general, but appalling writers, is extremely upsetting.

There have been many, many wild 24 hour news cycles in the Trump era but this one that began with Trump threatening to execute members of Congress and ended with him having a love fest with Mandami and MTG resigning is certainly up there. Solid Top 20 effort by the writers.
November 22, 2025 at 2:05 AM
With this retirement, MTG is demonstrating more integrity than Mitch McConnell. Think about that for a minute.

A socialism so effective that Trump got owned.
Trump also just posted these photos to Truth Social, including the one with Mamdani standing next to a portrait of FDR. Trump mentioned Mamdani asked if he could have his picture taken there.

"It's an amazing portrait in the cabinet room," Trump said. "So he's a big fan of the New Deal, I guess..."
