Deb

@GregAbbott_TX Destroy? Moronic language for a governor to use.

Congratulations Ken Paxton on the resounding victory. Next, he will destroy Talarico and become the next US Senator from the state of Texas.

@strangepowers_ @burgessev @daveweigel Nope, swing state senator who is a moderate. Her state voted for Trump in 2024. Her statement was also fine.

@burgessev @daveweigel Slotkin’s got to go.

"Circular firing squad": Democrats' Minnesota convention is this weekend -- Craig v. Flanagan -- and Dems really don't want these events to turn out like Michigan's spectacle with boos, jeers and a circus-like atmosphere Slotkin: “I’m kind of done with Democrats being a circular firing squad when we’ve got Trump in the White House doing what he’s doing. I think he’s more than happy to have Democrats at each other’s throats.” Are these conventions brewing a new tea party or firing Dems up for November? - Craig supporter and MN D strategist Joe Radinovich: “I’m perilously close to devoting the rest of my life to seeing these conventions ended." - Flanagan campaign says its poised to win DFL and conventions “one of the few places in politics where grassroots organizing and talking directly to voters still matters more than money" w @nicholaswu12 @daveweigel

@cenkuygur He’s become an Israeli? Plenty of reasons to criticize the president but don’t be an asshole.

And now that Trump has become an Israeli - he even says he'd like to be their Prime Minister - all of his accusations are confessions. Since he's the establishment wolf in populist clothing, that's what he accuses Ro of being. He assumes everyone is running a con, just like him.

This is what happens when you take a populist left message on conservative media. It works so well it drives people like Trump crazy. It exposes how fake his populism is! Sure, this is offensive, but it also shows how weak and pathetic Trump is and how scared of @RoKhanna he is.

@EricLDaugh What a buffoonish timeline. Blanche has no one’s respect, not even the president. The president is no doubt pleased he was so easily able to turn him into a servile non-person.

🚨 OMG. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) just got DEMOLISHED after insinuating President Trump's $1.7B anti-weaponization fund would pay a CHILD M*LESTER AG Todd Blanche was NOT having his BS 🔥 HOLLEN: An individual was pardoned by POTUS and m*lested 2 children, and tried to buy their silence saying he'd pay funds he hoped to get from YOUR slush fund. Can you make sure that person is not eligible?! BLANCHE: You're OBVIOUSLY LYING in your question! The 'slush fund' didn't EXIST! HOLLEN: Mr. Attorney General, don't ever do that again!! BLANCHE: Do WHAT again? HOLLEN: He said he expected to get the funds. BLANCHE: You said SLUSH FUND, that didn't EXIST when he said that. HOLLEN: You've been telegraphing the slush fund all along that you'd help the president's friends. BLANCHE: Point to a SINGLE telegraph I've made. What telegraph have I made? HOLLEN: Do you know it's a criminal offense to LIE to Congress?! BLANCHE: I am VERY well aware of that. Hollen should resign. Freaking disgrace.

@NerdLSU @mattyglesias Perhaps. Mary Landrieu was a senator from that state 10 years ago.

@mattyglesias It would look like Bill Cassidy (D)

@grok @villavec @ZeodrakeV @daveweigel So why did things turn so negative against Starmer?

**No on the unprecedented popular vote mandate.** Starmer's Labour won a huge seat majority in 2024 with only 33.7% of the vote—the lowest ever for a UK governing party. It was an anti-Tory wave + FPTP math, not broad enthusiasm. His major initiatives (employment rights expansion, NHS targets, planning/housing reforms) are center-left/pragmatic, not right-wing. Some left critics call them too cautious; right critics call them interventionist. In the 2024 cycle, voters were furious at 14 years of Tory chaos, scandals, inflation, and stagnation.

- Are elected with an unprecedented mandate - do center rightish nonsense to please everyone - no one like it - crash their party who's around since decades What did they mean by that ?

@ZaidJilani Oh geez, what a silly reach to think that’s what she’s saying or means.

She’s literally arguing that rapists shouldn’t be sent to prison in this video… x.com/LChurch814/sta…

AOC sitting next to Ibram X. Kendi calling for abolishing police and prisons, citing Angela Davis. "Destination is to have a society that doesn’t need prisons, that doesn't need police." Then she says "carceral system" isn't how to respond to rapists.

@Petswithaura These seconds captured are very moving.

He didn’t want him to leave… like he finally found someone he feels safe with. 🤍🐒

@madrid_mike Tina was a killer answer.

This actually was the most insightful question of the night. The answers were truly revealing:

@cspan @GlennYoungkin @RahmEmanuel Rahm is getting no love in this comment section on this rabidly toxic website. That’s unfortunate. I like him.

Former Gov. @GlennYoungkin (R-VA) & Former U.S. Ambassador to Japan @RahmEmanuel spar on the direction of their parties:

@TheKevinDalton It’s gross. They’re a menace and should face consequences. But why lie/exaggerate. The video doesn’t show “stomping the life out of” the elderly man but shoving him to the ground, and then leaving.

I honestly don’t know how you rehabilitate anyone that thinks it’s OK to casually stomp the life out of an elderly man in an unprovoked attack

@ShabbosK @NYCMayor Very normal thing to tweet. Of course, anything goes on Elon’s website regardless of how vile or who it targets.

@NYCMayor lol your dirty Islamist wife literally "liked" videos of: Hamas shooting dogs, storming the fences on October 7th, Islamists denying that Jewish women were assaulted. The overwhelming majority of us New York Jews absolutely hate you and your third world Islamist filth.

I am horrified and angered by the swastikas painted on homes and synagogues in Queens, including on a plaque honoring survivors of Kristallnacht. This is not just vandalism — it is a deliberate act of antisemitic hatred meant to instill fear.

There is no place for antisemitism in Queens or anywhere in our city. I stand in solidarity with our Jewish neighbors. Their safety, dignity, and belonging are non-negotiable.

The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating and I am confident those responsible will be held accountable.

@HomesickWhoDat @politico Article mentions defund the police and open borders. Tho, not hard to imagine a few more items he might have in mind

@politico Doesn't specify what about the agenda is "politically unacceptable" so he's probably just talking about Israel policy.

EXCLUSIVE: Liberal icon Barney Frank is entering hospice care. One of his final acts: A book repudiating progressive Dems, who he says have “embraced an agenda that goes beyond what’s politically acceptable.” One of his regrets: "I won’t see the continued implosion of Donald Trump.” Read the full interview 👇 politico.com/news/2026/04/2…

@Adam1996Indep @DavidAFrench Very concerning if you really believe that.

@DavidAFrench Nothing like David defending a former FBI director posting a specific message, he obviously took time to arrange in the sand, to kill a president. David continues to be ridiculous

If the indictment really is over “86 47” then it’s got a huge Watts v US problem. That case involved a prosecution of a man for saying “the first man I want to get in my sights is LBJ” if he was inducted in the Army. “Political hyperbole” is not a threat.

@MeghanMcCain So many dumb tweets on this site.

I don’t want to hear one more fucking criticism of Trump’s new ballroom at the White House.

@VoteRandyFine If you thought political twitter couldn’t get worse, oh man. So much hatred.

It speaks to the evil of Barack Hussein Obama that after the shooter’s full manifesto has been released Hussein Obama has the audacity to say “we don’t yet have the details about the motives.” Most of the division in America today can be directly traced to him.

@timothy_stanley Huh? Helping a terminally ill person die is a source of lame quips.

After a gay marriage, you can change your mind.

@catshealdeprsn Hang out with him outside for a while. Then maybe accidentally let him in.

Should I let him in? Neighbour’s cat demanding to come in. If I open the door, he runs straight in and keeps meowing at me for attention and snacks.

@bigcommunism @SabihaKhan @adamwren @daveweigel In a world where Trump won the presidency twice, we should all be a bit more humble predicting election results. Hoping a senator who won a swing state has tanked her career by cautioning super revved up activists to tone it down a notch sounds very constructive.

@buddy4m @SabihaKhan @adamwren @daveweigel Accusing others of anti-semitism when they're simply being critical of Israel is in itself kind of anti-semitic lol. This video is gonna be seen millions of times and it gives me great joy that it's killed any chances of her making any noteworthy career advances. Womp womp.

A tense moment here with Slotkin and a questioner in Ohio:

@business She ran a good campaign but don’t run again.

“I might. I'm thinking about it.” Former Vice President Kamala Harris said Friday she's considering a 2028 US presidential run at Al Sharpton’s annual National Action Network conference, a key stop for candidates hoping to win Black support, in New York bloom.bg/3Ohmr5R
