absolutely repugnant, gutfeld completely dismisses the assassination of melissa hortman, calls it a "bull shit" example of political violence

They don’t have the power to do what they’re threatening on a grand scale. But they want us to think they do.

I mean... minnesotareformer.com/briefs/haged...

Trump: everyone in the US died from drugs last week Reporter: [nods] Trump: so we must murder on the high seas Reporter: [nods] Trump: I caught Trix rabbit once Reporter: [nods] Trump: the cock on that bunny Reporter: [nods] Trump: bigger than you think Headline: Trump Policy Seeks To Save Lives

so are democrats really just going to remain silent as republicans target half of the country for retribution over a crime they didnt commit? im being serious, when do democrats call out this bloodthirsty rampage for what it is

This is the same guy.

the vice president declared war on left wrongthink today and this is how the most senior democratic elected official is talking, still

Oh, would you look at that? open.substack.com/pub/jpaladin...

If Judge Katsas is correct that Trump can fire Cook “for cause” by lobbing unproven accusations of fraud without an iota of due process, then the Fed’s “for cause” removal protections are meaningless. This is a joke of a dissent.

I know a certain baker who is going to be preeeeetty upset!

New York Times actively worked to get him elected twice, and all they got in return was a $15b lawsuit.

Here’s a lot of the stuff about Charlie Kirk that the right is now currently engaged in a nationwide witch hunt to suppress. Share it, repeat it, don’t let evil win. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Just outright saying "we do not care" about violent right-wing extremism.

I cannot believe how many liberals take this idiot seriously.

I just need to read about one company that says, "Don't be an idiot, they wrote that post on their own time and it's not even a lie." Just one company that will show the most fleeting glimmer of spine.

3 out of 4 Americans died of drugs last year, many of them twice.

I want to be clear about what I'm saying here. I'm not denying the danger. I'm not denying the threat. I AM saying that we live in a geographically huge country where the vast majority oppose this administration. They don't have the power to work on that scale. Tho they want us to believe they do

It will be quite a thing to watch centrist Democrats still talk about reaching across the aisle after this one.

So…they’re disappearing people. This is all just ticking along as expected. Now I know how the junta in Argentina lasted so long www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

It would be super great if when politicians say “it’s a problem with both sides” they’d acknowledge it being a bigger problem that the President is still doing it than whatever internet randos are saying.

The meme aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death (1/2)

It’s a lot easier to understand what’s happening when you accept that this country is having a collective mental breakdown and some people are trying to fix it and others are leaning in real hard.

The Democrats make an active choice not to involve themselves in the arguments that currently shape America. The party has utterly failed to represent and defend the millions of people who vote for it.

The reason this isn’t a big story for the media like it was when Biden mixed up a name isn’t because Trump has always been dumb or Trump has always been a dick or Trump has always been dumb and a dick; it’s because the media likes him

There seems to be a general media consensus that firing people is justified by the big feelings right now.

Anyone who still thinks that the problem is the left, or even both sides, when the the vice president of the United States gives a speech like this, simply cannot be trusted.

Is there a greater celebration of political violence than watching it unfold for three hours from the safety of your bunker and then pardoning the violent?

If the journalists and news companies you rely on did not make clear prior to last year's election that these were the stakes in last year's election, I would urge you to reconsider your media diet.

Kash actually blinked at this.

i would like the centrists to tell me what the middle ground is here

im kind of a 90s kid so my key robert redford movie is "sneakers"

People really showing who they are this week.

Unapologetic racism is not the same as “robust debate” but you’d never know it this week.

The strongest statement Hakeem Jeffries’ office has made this week as the right declares war on speech itself was to attack Sen Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat

hello 911? yea me again...thats right, the flag is all the way up to the top...uh huh, ace hardware this time

what reich says here could be said by democratic leaders but theyre too busy hiding

So Alberta is marking citizenship on its licenses What the fuck are we doing? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

On the plus side, a bunch of people on the left who have not yet grasped it are about to viscerally understand why some of us, despite despising bigots to our very core, keep insisting that allowing the government to prosecute "hate speech" would be a bad idea.

Someday I’ll figure out why the ideology that commits the least political violence is nonetheless expected to condemn it the most.

After removing all the experts from the CDC's vaccine advisory panel -- a vital panel that sets federal vaccination policy -- RFK Jr. has added 5 more people to it who have questioned aspects of COVID-19 and childhood vaccinations. www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr...

A big problem with US conservatives is that they view people disagreeing with them as an attack — but they view them actually attacking people as “a disagreement.”

We're entering the next stage of authoritarian consolidation of power: control of discourse and persecution of political enemies in pursuit of one-party rule. Things are escalating in a hurry. React accordingly. We've still got time to stop this and engage in collective action.

The Washington Post Guild today condemned the firing of op-ed columnist @karenattiah.bsky.social

An outpouring over the death of Charlie Kirk, from people who do not have similar reactions when violence was directed at any of the millions of his rhetorical targets who suffer and die, clearly exposes how many alleged allies and resisters identify more with Kirk than with his targets.

“Mark Zuckerberg, who had such confidence in ‘the metaverse’ that he renamed his entire company around it just a few years ago, has some new fuckin thing he claims with absolute confidence is the Next Big Thing” Fixed that headline for ya

Discovery on this would be incredible.

is hakeem jeffries or chuck schumer or anyone in democratic leadership gonna say jack shit about the vice president calling us all enemies? or are they going to roll over for the 10 millionth time? i know which outcome i predict.

63%

I don’t know, if you are going to warn people that they better cool down the heated rhetoric maybe you shouldn’t still be starting fires.

PLEASE give a look at this House Resolution. It concerns revoking US passports for mighty vague reasons, with essentially no way to challenge it.

INBOX: Kamala Harris to appear for a live on-set interview with Rachel Maddow on MSNBC next Monday night. The sit-down will be Harris' first news interview since leaving office.

Democratic silence remains deafening.

Oh this is very cool #MathNerds

More Epstein names = blow up another boat

Why it is so hard to say they are promising to criminalize ideas, opinions and speech they don’t like?

it speaks loudly of your character when literally of all the people you could elevate via your massive platform, you choose a lying Nazi with nothing valuable to contribute

The cancer is deep when quoting Kirk is deemed offensive. The Post firing Attiah is an attempt to turn us all into liars.

The shock this morning was I never thought of Robert Redford as old.

A standing ovation for promoting fascism, misogyny and racist. What the fuck. I still can’t get over it.

He also claims he would have done it if Tim Walz had called him and requested it. But shortly after Hortman was assassinated, Trump said he would not call the "whacked out" governor because it would be "a waste of time." www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Ezra Klein believes his job is to do pr for evil white men who want people like me dead. And liberals, all the way up to the former president of the United States, take him very seriously. And that makes me question my interest in participating in American politics.

If you are saying that Kirk did not say "Black women" in the Attiah quote of Kirk, you are doing his work for him.

Seems like a good time to point out that grocery prices are increasing and unemployment is up and, unless you’re a billionaire or a person with a mass-deportation kink, no normal American’s life has improved in any way since Trump took office. I have a column on this posting in the morning.

Flat-out, complete, utter bullshit.

I will donate $50 to the charity of your choosing if you can produce a single example of the New York Times telling a source they can't be quoted because they are "too dishonest." Offer is open to NYT employees, btw!

There have been more since last week, seemingly.

NEW from me: CBS News staffers who spoke with The Independent said that new owner David Ellison has "lost the trust" of the newsroom because he "lied" to them about not wanting to politicize the network and company. "He's just a liar," one told me. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Witnessed a team of at least three FBI agents, two HSI agents, and two MPD officers, some in unmarked vehicles, making an arrest after what appeared to be a routine traffic stop. One HSI agent covered his face. A Dunkin’ Donuts themed patch on his vest says “Guns N’ Coffee.”

These are all lies and projection. And, ironically, by saying this, the GOP has openly declared war on the Constitution of the United States.

I feel like I’m losing my mind listening to right-wing politicians talk about how political violence is wrong and people who promote it should be rooted out and destroyed

Did any other President routinely line up his staff to stand awkwardly behind him as he sits like this?

The Democrats are selling us all out in real time.

What are we even doing here, folks? www.mediaite.com/media/tv/pam...

My very good buddy and overall sweet little guy Fisher took a bad tumble this morning and is racking up medical bills. I know times are tough, but if you can spare a few bucks for his recovery we would be so grateful. www.gofundme.com/f/fisher-rec...

Clearly the left is fomenting violence by recalling right wing violence.

Delta State University staff found the body of Demartravion “Trey” Reed, a 21-year-old student, hanging from a tree in the middle of campus in Bolivar County, Mississippi, this morning. Authorities say they don't currently believe foul play was involved. www.mississippifreepress.org/delta-state-...

If the reason sitting presidents can’t be prosecuted for crimes is that it might distract them from the job of being president — then maybe they shouldn’t be allowed to file frivolous lawsuits either.

this is the exact same answer youd get from the wapo editorial board

“Up next on the Ezra Klein Show 1942, my guests Himmler and Goebbels discuss lowering the temperature on political rhetoric…”

the idea of a new massive media propaganda machine consisting of CBS, CNN, and TikTok blowing smoke up Trump and Netanyahu's ass 24/7 is terrifying, but it's also extremely possible this coalition of nepobaby opportunists just wind up setting untold billions of dollars on fire

Impossible to read any news about the shooting that is “according to the FBI” and not think about the woefully unqualified director scrambling to keep his job under the dumbest circumstances possible.

i think the only thing keeping the economy going at this point is the belief that corruption will continue to hide how bad it is forever

in case you haven't seen the news today: the terrible people are doing more terrible things and the media is broadly saying it's good they're doing that

There are many terrible things about this, but among the worst is getting fired in an email by Wayne. I didn't even like getting normal emails from Wayne.

i look at my feed of democratic elected officials and they sound like theyre on a different planet. the stuff they post about may as well be gibberish.

A media that wasn't busy bolstering the right's preferred martyr narrative right now could make a hard, fair comparison of the political parties relative use of inciting language. But not holding my breath.

Let’s watch the way this murder is treated in the halls of power and the platforms of influence compared to another murder from say the last 7 days.

MPs gave a standing ovation to kirk in the dirt in the House of Commons and called neo-Naziism a difference in political beliefs We’re lost in the sauce as a country

If Trump has a case against the New York Times for their election coverage, imagine what Hillary Clinton could sue for.

No NFL teams have observed a moment of silence for Robert Redford. Shame.

this really says it all huh

robert redford did more good for humanity than charlie kirk ever did

We went extremely quickly from “celebrating political violence is a fireable offense” to “correcting factual inaccuracies” is also incompatible with full employment.

this is the head of the trump white house comms office. he's someone the mainstream media interacts with regularly and you never hear about what a horrible person he is, because he feeds them media morsels.

this is some hilarious shit to say when you are literally donald trump's vice president, and not the vice president from his first term because you told your supporters to attack the capitol and they said they wanted to string him up

free speech sounds cool, we should definitely try it over here some time

No better way to show that you hate cancel culture and that you are not woke than by compiling lists of targets so that people can cancel them.

the whole reason we have to deal w jd vance is lib guilt
