part of the reason i'm more certain that 2026 is going to lead to some level of constitutional hardball or crisis is that when you notice how the ecosystem of the right works, there's basically no perception of the fact that Dems are likely to going to retake one (or two) chambers of the legislature
A chart that makes me ask, once again, why do the Lib Dems even exist
Is this even a thing?
(Later this year they’re going to try doing it with like proud boys right?)
Every democratic governor, Secretary of State, and house/senate candidate needs to be talking to each other about what we’re going to do when this happens later this year.
What ARE we going to do?
They memed themselves into believing that the Republican in the race for MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES, could only lose via election fraud.
And several of them believed it hard enough to lose millions betting on it.
Yeah the thing about all these trad life losers is that they could do all that… but they won’t. Why is that?
NWS forecast calling for continued onshore winds in the afternoons despite the heat wave. Notably there’s a small chance of mountain thunderstorms next week - it would be kind of nice if the San Gabriel Mountains started having a monsoon season…
“There’s a lot of ruin in a nation” seems to be something the US, UK, and Russia are all experimenting with. But what would a “win” in Ukraine even be at this point?
Also I kind of wish we had some Russia ultra hawks to say we should open up an eastern front. (Kidding, kidding)
A demographic notable for not being responsible for any bad government anyone is experiencing is to blame for everything, a tale as old as time, spun by the eternal hatchet-faced prick.

It really is unnerving how much Twitter is just accounts trying to do radio rwanda but in a way that’s impossible to understand unless you understand a language of bizarre ideological shibboleths (these are not dogwhistles, because they aren’t intended to hide the bigotry)

i was sort of split on whether we'd see more constitutional hardball in 2028 or 2026, but the fact that Trump is already basically trying to investigate Newsom makes me convinced that they will not handle it well if they lose the legislature

I am actually very willing to entertain the idea that Starmer has been primarily the victim of international political trends far beyond his control, but come on brother, they can’t keep you when the chart looks like this

This war is somewhat existential for Putin, he is not likely to survive the fallout of the Russian economic implosion that will follow without a win to show for it. And while economically extremely painful, it's not approaching collapse yet (though trending) and they can carry on for a while.
I talked to the officers. They said they were deputized by the US Marshals and went through an orientation yesterday. They’re here for 30 days as part of the America 250 celebrations.
