i like that the press corps will have no follow up questions to this, like who the staffer posting Official Government Communications at 1am is supposed to be, and what consequences they are supposed to have suffered for doing this

the fact that early-stage automated vehicles that still occasionally require remote operation assistance are like several orders of magnitude safer than the average American driver should be the real wakeup call here, not the idea that these vehicles still sometimes need remote operation assistance

Honestly, the fact that it has been litigated before with an unsatisfactory result is exactly why it should be relitigated again and again until it sinks in it‘s not just “Trump being Trump,” he’s not your wacky fun uncle, and it should not be acceptable behavior by an American president.
“dems should not engage on trump calling the most popular couple in american politics, including the first black president, monkeys because we’ve already litigated trump being racist” is an mindblowing take
No. It's brilliant election denial propaganda setting the stage for something darker.

Dems should stop being his messenger boys.

"Trump is racist" has been litigated 1000 times and it's not a dealbreaker. Clearly.

the Obamas are by a wide margin the most popular political figures in the country and the video is so bad major newspapers are flat out calling it "racist" rather than "racially charged"

their only move with anything is to double down so by all means let them double down on this
every dem should immediately shift to the obamas-as-apes video trump posted, because it is instantly recognizable to normies are insanely racist and opens up numerous lines of questioning

I thing the point of confusion is that you people clearly are not going to do anything else, so the neoliberal here is quite reasonably reading this as a statement without actual content

Notably there isn’t actually any additional or alternative strategy mentioned

Love how the presumption here is that the President doesn't know what he's sharing and that's fine and normal.

Sorry, no, if the President doesn't know what he's sending out then that is indisputable proof of gross incompetence, cognitive unfitness, or both.
The New York Times has finally covered the Trump video of Obama as an ape — and they are still providing cover for him. Fuck the Times.

(seen a bunch of people sharing this/talking in general about how "normal" Mamdani is but imo this doesn't show a normal person, but an *exceptionally* skilled communicator - a normal person wouldn't react like that to having a speech interrupted by a child! give him his due!)
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

This may all be true, but as human beings we are endowed by our Creator with the ability to get a fucking grip, and I think that more people can and should use that ability
People are angry, they're scared, they're lashing out, and they're being encouraged by hostile state actors.

Spiking the Kamala Harris endorsement can be rationalized as something that was done on the opinion side of the newspaper so less dire, but management spiking a news story means the outlet is official dead.
Scoop w/ @nataliekorach.bsky.social: Washington Post leadership spiked a story that had been prepared by the newspaper's media desk, covering the historic layoffs at the Jeff Bezos-owned newspaper. Details in @status.news: link.status.news/4ai6W4C

If I had to give one piece of relationship advice to young women who are attracted to men, it would be to only date men you think would be fine with you making more. Nothing wrong with him making more or even you being a stay at home mom. But if he'd be triggered by you making more, he's a loser.
I don't know how many girls got psyoped into thinking being strong and independent was loser shit and the tradwife life was all fun and games, but any number above zero is too many.

It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.

This is 100% perjury. The idea that the Treasury Secretary doesn't know anything about one of the most important figures in crypto facilitating a giant bribe to Trump and then getting pardoned is laughable. He would literally be the only person in the finance world who didn't know about it.
KIM: When Binance founder Zhao pleaded guilty to violating money laundering laws & was sent to prison, Binance injected billions into Trump's business & Zhao was pardoned. Is that a conflict?

BESSENT: I'm unfamiliar with any of that

The phenomenon described in the QT explains the behavior of basically every actor in 2016

It is lost to history, but Nate Silver's 30% estimate of a Trump victory was seen as obvious evidence of how bad his models were rather than an indication that the race was closer than it was believed to be
It's hard to imagine now but so many people in 2016 believed Hillary Clinton's victory was a foregone conclusion. "Trump might actually win" was treated as something only a nutjob would say. All political analysis took for granted that she was basically President already, the election was formality.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.

Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

Trump was probably on a path to win the moment the three-cueing zoomer streamer class decided he was a kind of national Fun Uncle, at which the horrors of the first term were washed away and replaced with this idea that he’s the guy who’d give you permission to be a sneering little twit

All the complaints about her campaign are basically stupid nitpicks and the people convinced they’d have changed EVERYTHING by adjusting the words in her ads or whatever are out of their minds. Trump’s support was built out of years of irresponsible false nostalgia for his hellish first presidency

Kamala Harris ran a good, very aggressive campaign, but started at a significant deficit, and ran headlong into a ocean of misogyny, which has continued to dog her even more post-election, now that people feel empowered to say what they REALLY think about her
