Cybertruck just surpassed the Ford Edsel as the biggest automotive bomb of all time. Congrats, @elonmusk, at another record broken! (To be fair, it's a monstrosity.)

The fact that the man who controls the U.S. nuclear arsenal is PROUD OF BEING ABLE TO RECOGNIZE A DUCK is a bad thing when you think about it.

Curious to see how trying *as hard as he possibly can* to take SNAP benefits away from hungry rural white voters works out politically for Trump. Anybody got priors on this?

We're seeing absolutely no sign that Trump's instrumentalization of Charlie Kirk's murder accomplished anything other than making more Americans feel sick.

👀 the popularity of Dems in PA
🚨 @QuinnipiacPoll of PA - Approvals
🔵 Shapiro: 60-28 (+32)
🔴 Trump: 43-54 (-11)
🔵 Fetterman: 46-38 (+12)
🔴 McCormick: 39-35 (+4)
The kicker for Fetterman is that his upside is coming from Republicans approving of him 62-21 versus Dems disapproving 33-54.

One consequence of the unitary executive is that shutdowns are the president’s fault almost _by definition_.
You can’t claim the power to do anything you want and then shirk responsibility when shit breaks. Polls will show this.

“The Redpilling of Rob Schneider” would make for an entertaining @netflix doc about the least important event in recent memory.

No, pro-white bias is primarily responsible.
That's not to say white people are "bad," or individually culpable. But you can't ignore the causal impact of pro-white bias—from old-school biological racism to societal structures that stack the deck in favor of the dominant group.
Dear black folks,
Sit down… this is going to be hard to hear…
White folks aren’t responsible for your problems.
Other black folks are responsible for the overwhelming majority of your problems.
Not white folks.
Hugs, (for some of you)

1. If Sean thought Gavin is trying to kill Stephen, then he wouldn’t repost Gavin.
2. Sean reposts Gavin.
∴ 3. Sean doesn't think Gavin is trying to kill Stephen.
4. If Sean doesn't think Gavin is trying to kill Stephen, then Sean is full of shit.
∴ 5. Sean is full of shit.

Netanyahu scoring a smaller audience at the U.N. than the average dive-bar open-mic night is a powerful image. Israelis are wary of the prospect of near-total global ostracism, and this will fuel their rightful unrest at home. Bibi is driving them into the ditch and they know it.
