NEW: Increasingly in @SarahLongwell25's focus groups, a name keeps popping up among MAGA voters as someone they'd like to see lead the ticket in 2028.
That someone: @RealCandaceO

The overwhelming majority of Democrats seem to believe that policy doesn't matter and Gavin Newsom has the assets that really count in politics — good hair, charisma, funny tweets.
But his electoral track record is as a modest underperformer.

This is insane and someone’s gotta be fired for this 😂😂😂

I would've been highly upset having to graduate in the rain

@scarylawyerguy I mean. Last time he was president he lost the midterms and got trounced in the election against Biden
English
I know I get accused of pessimism but: 1) he's never being held accountable; 2) gerrymandering limits the positive D outcomes in 2026; 3) he'll meddle in 2028 in ways we can't imagine; 4) voter memories are short (Obama landslide followed by huge R gains in 2010); 5) RW media

Little by little, Trump is shrinking MAGA down to its molten core. *Alienating noncollege/rural whites *and* Latinos/young *Forcing disloyal Rs out of GOP *Demanding Rs fund ballroom *Insisting Rs defend 1/6 slush fund *Wrecking economy with tariffs/war newrepublic.com/article/210855…

Absolutely.
E Bikes have become E Motos and packs of teens are riding them all over, on sidewalks, through neighborhoods, in busy areas
No license no registration no insurance no brake lights no turn signals
Just pure chaos
Killswitch Engineer@d__el
@CNN They. Are. All. Motorcycles. No brake lights. No turn signals. No registration. And thousands of them are operated on the streets and sidewalks of California by unlicensed minors every day. If they have a throttle they are not a bike.

Why aren't you suggesting black NBA and NFL players refuse to sign in southern states? Children should not face the brunt of any of this.

The NAACP told Black athletes — don't go to school in states stripping your rights.

Massie: "They used AI to create a video that showed me checking into a hotel room with AOC and Ilhan Omar and holding hands with them. It was actually very effective on the boomers. But here's the thing -- that's only gonna work for a little bit longer. The boomers are gonna leave this country."

@beffjezos Are you using Codex to book you a plane ticket home to French Canada?
English
In the home gym.
4 plates on the bar.
Cracking some angry dad rock.
Codex open on the laptop.
It's that kind of Saturday night.

@alexbruesewitz @tedcruz Why is a dumbass like Alex an advisor to Trump? Sheesh no wonder Iran has been such a disaster.
English
@tedcruz Remember when you had a school girl tantrum after I prevented you from getting a picture with Nicki Minaj after you frantically chased us down the hallway?
And you’re calling me a child? Lmao
You’ll never be President, dipshit.
English
Hush, child. The adults are talking. I’m not your “bro.”
And young political grifters pushing Iran appeasement are not remotely helping the President.
Alex Bruesewitz 🇺🇸@alexbruesewitz
Cool, Ted. No one asked you, bro. Stop trying to undermine the President and his administration.

This wouldn’t have happened under President Harris

Feeling robbed of my path to citizenship right now after grinding a PhD and contributing to foundational AI + computing technologies for the United States for the past ~ 10 years. Feels like robbing top and technologists like me of the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.

If President Trump agrees to a 60-day ceasefire extension based on vague Iranian promises to “discuss” nuclear issues, it’s game over. That pushes the crisis into late July or early August, when major military operations become far less likely ahead of the midterms.
Once the military leverage disappears, meaningful nuclear concessions disappear with it. Ballistic missile restrictions will be nonexistent. Iran will get billions in sanctions relief—while repeatedly using Hormuz as a tool of blackmail.
Tehran will have won at the negotiating table what it lost on the battlefield.

@LinkofSunshine I’d take the 400k office gig only if they had DoorDash
English
I would quite literally rather be a 400k office worker in a 9-5 at meta than a 1800s European noble
ₕₐₘₚₜₒₙ@hamptonism
This might be a hot take but I know someone at meta who makes $400k a year and is quite literally capped at that number for life - likely will never get a promotion strong enough to change that. 9-5 until they’re what, 50? This is not living. No matter the salary.

@beffjezos Maybe you could go to Russia? I heard they like right wing tech bros there. You’d do well in Moscow 😂😂😂👋✌🏼

90% of attention was from immigrants in tech on a visa.
This single work produced tens of trillions in market value.
Stopping skilled immigration or making it ridiculously hard stops this miracle from happening again.
Death of the American Dream
Bruno Faviero@Bfaviero
Attention Is All You Need, one of the most important AI papers ever.... 7/8 authors were foreign nationals on work/student visas from India, UK, Canada, Ukraine. If we want USA dominance in AI (and tech broadly), we need to attract and retain global ultra-high-skilled talent.

Hahahahhha
Oh you think you were one of the special ones?!?
Go back to your shithole country, MAGA scum

A revolt in the Senate?
What really happened this week with the DOJ Weaponization Fund.

Put some respect on Schumer/Jeffries name. The only reason the Senate has leverage to fight the Slush Fund & Ballroom is because ICE/DHS wasn't funded. How does the line go? Let the apology be as loud as the disrespect?

@LevineJonathan We can use the anti-weaponization fund to pay him out too!

I hate to break this to people — but the next Dem president is going to immediately invite this guy back, probably make him a citizen, and maybe even hand him millions of dollars cash as "restitution"
