i just cant understand why voters are flocking to outsider candidates instead of sticking with the establishment picks
Brian BeutlerI was appalled (though not surprised) when I learned Sunday that Senate Dems intend to help Republicans fund the government through the election, with one minimal concession that has nothing to do with election subversion or ongoing Trump theft of federal dollars from blue states. And I remain so.
Republicans love pushing vocational-only education instead of comprehensive-education because they want a healthy supply of low-cost servants and less competition for the professional and boss jobs they want their own kids to have.
Seth CotlarIn a college sociology class in the late 1980s I was assigned a Marxist analysis of education that argued that the US education system is designed primarily to produce efficient workers for the labor market. And now Trump’s Department of Education is just tweeting it out.
You mean you got taken by the guy who's entire existence is a scam who has never created anything ever and is only thought of a a genius because a style reporter from the WaPo said so? Weird. I cannot believe this is happening
The Associated PressSpaceX shares are down by half from their June peak as investors worry Musk may have oversold them on its future prospects.
Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

“Oh no we might have to help some of our fellow human beings” is a pretty perfect encapsulation of the disease at the core of our society, so thanks for that Also fuck you
USA TODAY OpinionOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
inre: @maddow.bsky.social's discussion of the cyber attacks on the water systems of seven different states
Emily L. Hauser (she/her) ❌👑Thinking a lot about the fact that the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency: 1. has been w/o a permanent director since Trump took office 2. is functioning at 38% capacity bc of cuts & layoffs 3. is currently unfunded bc of the DHS shutdown Hey. Aren't cyber attacks Iran's thing? Huh.

So, Jack Osbourne has yet to delete or clarify his videos that falsely claim I used AI to write an article. Lots of people have encouraged me to sue him, which as I explain here, isn’t realistic. But I greatly appreciate the support for me and @spitfirenews.com. spitfirenews.com/p/jack-osbou...
Ozzy Osbourne's son falsely accused me of writing an article with AIMy reporting on Andrew Tate triggered him. He still won't correct the record.spitfirenews.com
l love when a white journalist reporting on “concerns of lack of diversity” in DSA fumbles the name of the Latina elected official he interviews for the article. My name is Moreno, not Morales.

Did you also hear at town halls about people who had spent the past 12 years playing Powerball and think that trans children stole their chances at a winning lottery ticket
Aaron RuparGluesenkamp Perez: "At town halls, what I saw was the people who were the most upset had spent the last 12 years driving their girls to sports practice & they view their best shot of their student going to college as an athletic scholarship. So when we rush to moralize we miss some of the nuance."
As someone who got mad (but don't put that in the papers), it IS interesting to note how outlets have switched strategies now that influencers and pundits are sinking like stones.
Asher ElbeinAnyway, I think it's worth calling this out really explicitly: the Verge's social media team seemingly deliberately framed this in a way that would get people to fly off the handle, and that is a gross strategy that we shouldn't just wave off

Asher ElbeinYeah, sorry, but some folks on here just got straight-up outrage farmed by the Verge. This is fine!
what if a Christian baby had planted a nuke next to a Pride parade and said the only reason it wouldn't push the button is if you agreed to accept Jesus Christ in your heart
Minneapolis is better in summer🙄. If Scottie Scheffler held a press conference tomorrow and said my whole life has been a lie, I’ve started HRT and I’m going to compete in LPGA tournaments from now on, that is transparently absurd. And defending his (or her) “right” to do it is insane.
Everybody Hates Patricia
OK! MagazinePatricia Heaton backed a petition urging Mayor Zohran Mamdani to be barred from New York City's 25th 9/11 anniversary.
we just want you to let the fucking kids play sports together man why are you hallucinating all this weird shit

I am sick of watching the most thought-free people on the planet dismantle everything that partially worked for the people while meanwhile folks like this look on and are like "oh tut tut our sacred institution of not letting poor people eat! how dare you threaten it!" but I am done ranting now.
