@Acyn I mean that they are a few seats down from the majority.
English
@Acyn That’s what we said the last several cycles and they still retain a slim minority or stay in the majority.
English
Magaziner: The finger-pointing on the Republican side of the aisle right now is intense. They can’t even pass their ICE funding bill that they are so obsessed with because they’re arguing about the ballroom and the slush fund and all kinds of other stuff, so they’re in full-on disarray.

voters identify free healthcare & other left economic populist policies as moderate. dc thinktanks & corporate sponsored legacy pubs are the only places where these concepts are seen as radical. that’s why they look at this graph and think, “we gotta pivot right on culture wars”

@MeghanMcCain @Acyn That’s an American belly button.

Can the advance people not put some random mans bellybutton next to our presidents head in the camera shot? Thx.

Reporter: Are you attending your son’s wedding? Trump: He’d like me to go. I’m going to try. I said, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things. He’s a person I’ve known for a long time.
English
Both can be true.
Gaza was a major factor, not the only factor, for many Dems staying at home, and this report was so carelessly and incompetently written that they shelved it. Either way, a reflection of failed DNC leadership.
Tim Miller@Timodc
I love how the conspiracy pushed on here was that the DNC blocked the autopsy because of what it said about Gaza when in fact it doesn't mention that & they didn't put it out bc it seems to have been written by a 5th grader. Perfect encapsulation of the discourse around the DNC.

The political commentariat keeps describing American politics in language that strips out every racial dimension and pretends what's left is the whole picture. It isn't. It never has been. New essay on cotton, Du Bois, herrenvolk democracy, and the operating system beneath it all.

American Kleptocracy Is Upon Us: Trump Pardons His Family and Steals Your Money!
Trump has taken off the mask and is now openly sharing his plan to steal taxpayer dollars to fund his ballroom bunker, reward his insurrectionists, and drink your milkshake.

Collins: You previously told me that anyone who assaulted a police officer on January 6th should go to prison. So why not rule out giving them taxpayer funded money?
Vance: I don't rule things out categorically… Let's say, hypothetically, a person is accused of doing something that they never actually did, that they got a kangaroo court, that they had a judge who mistreated them
English
@Acyn The kind of inquiry found in a kangaroo court.
English
Lindell TV: So if a violent offender like a J-6er was still oversentenced and mistreated, literally some of them were sentenced to 24 years in prison, put it on an unconstitutional pretrial detention, literally tortured—wouldn't that person still be able to apply for the fund because of due process.

@atrupar It’s amazing how the language of civil rights and human rights gets twisted to serve goals that are completely antithetical.
English
JD Vance: "You know who never, ever gets an ounce of sympathy when it comes to disproportionate sentencing? People who voted for Donald Trump and participated in the January 6 protest."

The NAACP is urging Black athletes and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”

@davidsirota Like Bruce Banner, you’re always angry

I made the dumb life choice of being in an industry that now requires me to try to compete in the attention economy — my way of coping thru that without succumbing to nihilism, mental illness or narcissism is to just accept low-grade persistent sadness as an occupational hazard
English
@atrupar That would pretty much amplify the present reality of armed religious fanatics
English
Markwayne Mullin advises places of worship worried about acts of violence to "hire their own security"
English
@davidsirota Sounds about right. The political center was forcefully pushed to the right through racial demagoguery and scapegoating. Now here we are.
English
The current political system produces Democratic presidents who "respect" the parliamentarian killing stuff like a minimum wage increase, and Republican presidents demanding the firing of the parliamentarian unless he gets funding for his palace.

If it's not clear by now, I don't trust the podcasters who spent 2022 to 2025 implying Trump was "anti-war" or "anti-interventionist." Trump's first term was blood thirsty war mongering. He unrecognized Palestine and sent American special forces to 75% of the globe.

@Timodc was saying today that Jared Polis was just following the facts.

Marshall Cohen@MarshallCohen
FACT CHECK: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) relied on false and misleading claims to justify his decision to release election denier Tina Peters from prison. (1) Polis repeatedly said the charges and case have "nothing to do" with the 2020 election. That's highly misleading. He's right that Peters wasn't charged with trying to subvert that election while it was happening. But trial testimony established that her crimes in 2021 were motivated by Trump's 2020 fraud claims, and that she conspired with Lindell-linked election deniers in hopes of proving that the 2020 results were invalid. (2) Polis repeatedly said Peters "certified Biden won." This is false, because Biden did not win her county. Trump won Mesa County (63% to 35%) and that is what Peters certified. She has never publicly acknowledged that Biden won in 2020. (Polis office clarified to me that Peters certified the "votes for Biden" in Mesa County.) (3) Polis claimed "nothing was compromised" with Mesa County's elections. This is wrong. It's true that Peters didn't compromise vote tallies. But Colorado's top election official concluded that Peters' antics "compromised" the election equipment. So the systems were decommissioned and Mesa spent $1m in taxpayer funds to replace everything. The DA who charged Peters told me she "100% compromised the equipment." cnn.com/2026/05/18/pol…

What Acyn is capturing is a disinformation system already primed to blame Muslim immigrants, broadcast to a predominantly white and socially conservative audience predisposed to believe it. Welcome to America.
