@benryanwriter @shannonrwatts Maybe Katie Hill. She had a lot of baggage that prompted her resignation.

@shannonrwatts Are there any examples of women with messy pasts, no experience and scruffy physical presentations who have been presented for national office?
English
“Patriarchy gives us different expectations and standards for men and women. I mean, does anyone think a woman with no political experience, tattoos and a history of alcohol abuse who said dumb things on the internet would be able to raise tens of millions of dollars and become a major party Senate candidate?" pressherald.com/2026/07/12/pla…

@Etiam_Aliquam @mashabani Your VPN says France but you most likely live in the only country that wants the US to fight all of your stupid wars for you.
English
Dear geniuses,
1) Most oil clients are in the East, not West
2) Iraq is as easy for Iran to target as Hormuz
3) You cannot pipe vast array of petroleum products
Diversification is good but do away with literal pipe dreams and instead address the root issues.

JUST IN - Syria, Iraq and US plan to unveil Mediterranean pipeline deal to bypass Strait of Hormuz — Middle East Eye

@HPluckrose It is delicious, but deadly, and brisket is overpriced. Also Americans eat like they have free healthcare.
English
OMG! 18-hour smoked brisket with fried pickles, waffle fries and “rayanch” sauce. This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten.
English
@0xSgtPickles @HormuzLetter Your VPN may say US but I suspect you live in another country that wants more war with Iran. The US and Israel threw everything they had at Iran short of a bloody ground invasion. Iran held on. They still have missiles and drones, which means they have lots of leverage.
English
@HormuzLetter Doesn’t matter.
Cease fire is over.
Iran no longer has any cards.
They can reject all they want.
USA will look at it and say “ok, send the next round of bombs on the chessboard”
It doesn’t matter if the agree or disagree at this point
It’s like them saying it for the FB
English
BREAKING: Iran directly rejects the US ultimatum, declaring that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed to all lanes except the northern Iranian route, and any decisions regarding the Strait are made "solely by Iran and Oman," per informed source to Tasnim.
Iran says Axios and US official claims regarding announcing the opening of all lanes of the Strait are dismissed and "any decisions on the future arrangements for the Strait are the responsibility of Iran in consultation with Oman."

@Specialychef @TuckerCarlson Why is the West Bank a war zone? Because Israel is illegally occupying it and stealing land. Americans live there and have been killed by Israeli extremists. None of that matters because you’re an Israeli propagandist.
English
Stop already, he went to a war zone wearing a suit and did it to try to save himself from endorsing Platner because he’s going to run for president. And his trip was paid for by—/? You make a living by spreading hate and propaganda, the devil’s money because no one on TV or media wants you. Your family must be so proud of you, you’d probably throw your mother under the bus for money.
English
An Amercian member of congress is threatened by foreign terrorists carrying American rifles, backed by a foreign military paid for by American taxpayers, and the US ambassador to that country says not a word in defense of his own countryman, and instead uses his social media accounts to promote his own vapid cable news appearances, which amount to propaganda for that same foreign country. It’s too much, too insulting and humiliating to America. This is how revolutions start. For the sake our nation, Mike Huckabee should be removed from his post immediately.

Was a pleasure to be w/ @aishahhasnie @FoxNews today. Iranians hold 'kill Trump' flags at Khamenei's funeral foxnews.com/video/64008971… #FoxNews

@reportdogbot @moetkacik Don’t be dumb. Obviously Racicot remembers the incident. Moe said Platner doesn’t remember, which explains why he didn’t admit anything. That doesn’t mean he’s innocent. It just means he does t remember what happened.
English
@moetkacik you seem confused. are you referring to how jenny forgot it happened and needed her therapist to remind her?
English
When did opinion = facts? We’re talking about accusations, and they’re often made with no evidence.
Voters are entitled to make up their minds who they believe, but people need to be reminded that accusations often do turn out to be false.
@ijbailey@ijbailey
I really would like to know what those making this argument mean. Should voters not be given these facts because it’s outside of a courtroom in a system that doesn’t handle these cases well? Should voters ignore it? At what point is it ok for voters to take this into account? 1/

@benryanwriter Is this introspection, cause you’ve spent the last 48 hours frantically writing about anyone and everyone associated with Graham Platner?
English
Stay tuned for my essay about the moral panic about moral panics.
Adam@LionelThrilling
I’ve grown very very tired of a certain type of left wing academic who sees something like that Atlantic article on literacy and reacts along the lines of “ha, what a bunch of alarmism. You’re all REACTIONARIES for buying it”
English
@DavidRobinr0 @DrDebraSoh “Control their women”. WTF are you even talking about?
English
@DrDebraSoh Agreed.
If the men were high testosterone, they would control their women and reproduce with them.
It’s about time the good men take back control of this country from the evil men who are controlling the women
English
Men’s testosterone levels have halved in the last 50 years.
Sperm counts are on the decline.
The fertility crisis can’t be fixed until we address the real reasons why.
English
@DrDebraSoh @stellaomalley3 Obesity, lack of exercise, and poor health.

@BasOMatic @mattyglesias 7 piled on AFTER the conservative repeatedly lied. 3 were anonymous. 4 accused him of squeezing them in weird ways during photos that lasted seconds. 1 photo shows his hand was not on her breast like she claimed. He was a strong progressive, pushed out by silly accusations.
English
@hangry_dad @mattyglesias You should read it. Because it goes over all 8 accusations and confirms everything I said.
Again, you are disengaged from reality if you think he was taken down by a single accusation from a Republican.
English
You get a lot of "well that's just Matt being Matt" takes from Stoller's fellow travelers but he is paid money by various progressive funders to do a job that seems to consist primarily of posting and is echoed in these takes by various other top factional figures.
English
@StayAmericans @ScottJenningsKY You’re joking, right? The conservative Supreme Court just validated a jury finding that your guy raped a woman. We know Hegseth paid off a woman who accused him of rape.
English
@ScottJenningsKY It hasn’t even been a day since the democrats fully endorsed guy with an actual Nazi tattoo and r@pe accusations dropped out of his race and they’re trying to point the finger at republicans to say “you’re the ones who support Nazi tattoos and r@pists, not us!”
English
Looking for two things: 1. clip of Haley Stevens mentioning the Netanyahu criticism of her during the debate. 2. Part during Netanyahu Dana bash interview where Netanyahu thanks Stevens and refers to Israel in her dreams.
English
@BasOMatic @mattyglesias Read the 6,000 word New Yorker article. It’s not true.
English
@hangry_dad @mattyglesias Divorced from reality is characterizing what happened as Franken being set up by a Republican operative when there were 8 different allegations including one from a former Democratic staffer.
English
English
@hangry_dad @mattyglesias Franken had accusations from 8 different women and he wasn't asked to resign until after the 7th accusation, which came from a former Democratic staffer.

@jareddavisoba @Mike_Pence I don't think Jesus would be too happy with the dude running the U.S. right now.

@Mike_Pence May the Lord Jesus Christ destroy these evil men that run Iran and put the fear of the Christian God in their hearts. The demon they worship bends its knees before Jesus Christ.

If the Iran deal is “over”, President Trump should unleash the Armed Forces of the United States to Finish the Job: Destroy their nuclear and missile programs, end support for terrorist proxies and restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.🇺🇸foxnews.com/world/trump-sa…

@jessesingal Broadly speaking, sure, FP is low.
But that's not what Emma said.
She said, Maine voters were painted as a bunch of dumb hogs who "didn't care about ... cutting arms sales to Israel."
It seems like they do, in fact, care very much.
English
@hangry_dad yes, when you asked forced-choice questions you get certain responses! if the question is what voters are most concerned about, the 3% figure is far more illustrative and damning
English
1/ Very specific, grating form of ideological colonization in which privileged, highly educated lefties imagine some big working class bloc that happens to share their priorities. In a recent poll, 3% of Maine voters listed foreign policy as top priority.

Emma Vigeland@EmmaVigeland
So many people in the national press seem motivated to paint Maine voters as a bunch of dumb hogs who were hypnotized by Platner's voice and didn't care about taxing billionaires and cutting arms sales to Israel. I wonder why they'd want to foreclose these conversations, hmm...
English
@clashreport The progs really hate Netanyahu.
Therefore, I'm fully behind him.
English
Rahm Emanuel on Israel:
For too long, American policy towards Israel operated under the assumption that the best thing Washington can do for Jerusalem is to blindly, to silently stand behind your government without conditions, without demands, without consequences, even when we disagreed.
That has been our mistake, and it's been no favor to you.
Unconditional support has produced a Prime Minister who has presumed that his strategic interests would incur no political costs if he ignored America's concerns about settlements and sparked a regional war.
Unconditional support has allowed you to deny food and medical relief to innocent Palestinians in Gaza, leaving the world to conclude that Israelis not only want to kill Palestinians, but they are completely indifferent to their death, to their destruction, and completely indifferent to their suffering.
Unconditional support has girded a political coalition in the Knesset that learned it can burn Palestinian farmland in the West Bank, terrorize Palestinian families without consequence.
Given all of this, we need fundamentally a new and different approach to this alliance.
