I know I’m a libtard but I think it’s bad the U.S. president keeps calling for the killing of specific sitting elected officials who didn’t even commit crimes

Liberal judicial dissent: Ben Franklin said our government was "a Republic, if you can keep it." This court seems determined to give it away

Conservative judicial dissent: Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles
The TX redistricting dissent from Judge Jerry Smith is in. It's....a lot. He calls out the "pernicious judicial misbehavior" of Judge Brown (a Trump appointed judge) who wrote yesterday's opinion.

Feels weird that they're doing this now since the Rogan subreddit had already gained a bit of a reputation for getting frustrated with him years ago.

Ngl this is why I don’t like when climate change is categorized as an “environmental” issues. While there’s environmental effects, the primary concern is economic!
Tbh I’m highly sympathetic to the idea that postmaterialism is the driving factor of the decline in center left parties across the developed world, the problem is that climate change poses a huge threat to material thriving in a way that like, traditional conservation doesn’t
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

The reason why socialism is no longer taboo in America is that our elites have successfully rebranded it as “any attempt by the state to function beyond semi-random violence“ while trying to combat it.

A big indicator of this fascist moment, for me, was exposing Hanania’s past as pseudonymous white supremacist blogger, him issuing a non-apology apology then writing gutter racist shit under real name, & nevertheless enjoying mainstream success

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

It's always the same type of statement, they made up their mind on what Dems should do after Kamala lost (and frankly, well before) and just stick to giving the same advice no matter how much things have changed since then.
this is just a wild thing to tweet a week after democrats won a statewide in Georgia by 20 points. completely divorced from the current electoral environment

I feel like this just wouldn't of happened if Trump didn't tell her not to run for senate like she wanted
MTG responds to Trump, saying he’s lying about her: “he’s coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next weeks vote to release the Epstein files.”

“I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump.”

Zeteo has made a searchable database of all new 26,000 files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Despite Trump saying this is a scam with "all arrows pointing to the Democrats," these have a whole lot of Trump in there. In fact, he's mentioned in these more than anyone else.

Take a look for yourself:
Zeteo Scoured 26,000 Epstein Docs. Here’s What We Found
You can search and review the emails here. Read what Epstein said about Trump, and his emails with Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, Ehud Barak, and Larry Summers.

QAnon influencers have baselessly suggested that newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails show Trump was an “informant” against Epstein.

It comes as the QAnon community has for months tried to rationalize Trump opposing the Epstein files’ release.

Honestly they look even more out of touch trying to include all these podcasters into major media events. Like I don't think the Flagrant podcast audience will be interested in Dealbook because Schulz appears

so, schumer has been shepherding this deal every step of the way but even if you take him at face value idk if anyone should be reassured by the concept of a senate minority leader who cannot control his own party to stop what he believes to be a catastrophic capitulation
America is in the midst of a Republican-made health care crisis—a crisis so severe, so urgent, and so devastating for American families that I cannot support a continuing resolution that fails to address it.

I am voting NO.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish
