A good illustration of how a conservative goal remains the erasure of all LGBTQ+ people, & of the existence of same-sex relationships, from public life & public recognition.
It did not take long for @RobSandIA to betray his campaign promise that he won’t do culture war stuff. This is his new chief of staff.

Best to let the "uncolonized minds" in the diaspora decide. Can't let those illiterate Ricans on the island with Stockholm Syndrome decide.

If you're too young to remember, the tech bros were all like this during the peak Obama years. Wrapped themselves up in all the cool, culturally progressive, "Yes We Can" trappings up through 2016 and even beyond
They dumped it the second they thought they could get away with it

Tech CEOs after November 3:.
Politico: The Tech Right Pivots Left
Nowhere is that hard pivot more on display than with Alex Karp, the CEO and co-founder of secretive tech giant Palantir, which bet massively on Trump 2.0 and became an administration darling in the process
Inside Palantir’s Manhattan lair, in an exclusive sitdown with Playbook, Karp — who once criticized the Democratic Party as “totally irresponsible” — deployed the word ‘progressive’ eight times to describe his philosophy while acknowledging Democrats ‘absolutely’ corrected in 2026 enough to win back his support in 2028.
Karp: “I’ve been a Democrat my whole life. I grew up in a far left environment. I know more about being a progressive than almost anybody on the planet, and I absolutely believe Palantir— all of our products are essentially progressive.”

States can and do gerrymander their own legislatures, NC did so intensely it's created a permanent Republican legislature, even when Dems win the vote by 16 points it wasn't enough. Can't do much as its a state level issue and well, Dems basically can't get a trifecta. Bleak.

the lame duck period is far too long
NEWS: Senate Republicans approved a “sense of the conference” resolution at the end of their marathon closed-door sessions today about “maximizing” their remaining days in power.
It includes a line on doing “everything humanly possible” to pass a reconciliation bill in the lame duck ...
“It is the sense of the GOP Conference that we will maximize the 54 days we have with congressional majorities, to confirm every judicial nominee and every executive nominee that the conference approves of, to pass our core Republican priorities, and to do everything humanly possible to pass a reconciliation bill before Jan. 3.”

So annoying that this bullshit actually worked

The funny thing is that there's a person who Bernie and Slotkin would both very likely be fine with as Majority Leader, and who would be a leading compromise choice for the caucus as a whole, but she just became governor of Minnesota

Anyone who believes that they covered up the cancer diagnosis is genuinely dumb, because it would've provided the perfect political cover for him to drop out, while generating a wave of sympathy.
Newly-obtained by @MSNOWNews from President Biden's upcoming memoir:
Biden's radiation treatment ended as doctors stopped further metastization of his stage 4 prostate cancer; continues hormone therapy.
Rebukes those who suggested cover-up of his cancer: ms.now/news/biden-book-prost…

I don't know how to explain the massive moral blind spot of the American Catholic right except to speculate that it's a bad fruit of a single issue pro-life movement. If a grave evil isn't abortion then it's simply not perceived.

Puerto Rico should be forced into independence against the will of 90% of it's population because of colonialism or something
