Read More... Bernie Sanders (Credit: AP/Craig Ruttle) On Thursday, June 16, Sen. Bernie Sanders gave a 23-minute speech from Burlington, Vermont that was broadcast online and on C-SPAN. The address got over 200,000 viewers, largely because many people tuning in assumed he was going to concede the nomination to Hillary Clinton. That didn’t happen and therefore most media coverage of his speech, which mostly covered points familiar from his stump speech, was perfunctory at best. It’s a bit of a shame, though, because Sanders did say something intriguing that suggests a viable path towards keeping his “political revolution” alive, instead of letting it crumble into dust, which is the fate that history tells us awaits candidates who run left-leaning insurgency campaigns in the Democratic party.

    Founders Sing is back with another AI musical parody of Trump's habit of snoozing during his trials. Life can be hell when you can't get any Adderall or out on the golf course. I just hope he wakes up in time for the reading of the verdict and the sentencing.

  • Peter Meijer Ends Senate Bid in Michigan
    Political Wire, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 10:02 PM

    Former Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI) is dropping his bid for Michigan’s open Senate seat, CNN reports. Said Meijer: “The hard reality is the fundamentals of the race have changed since we launched this campaign. After prayerful consideration, today I withdrew my name from the primary ballot. Without a strong pathway to victory, continuing this campaign only increases the likelihood of a divisive primary that would distract from the essential goal – conservative victories in November.”

  • My Week Inside Columbia’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment
    Mother Jones, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 08:07 PM

    In the early morning, one can hear the birds perched on trees around the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University. Farther off, there are sounds of protest and counterprotest. But inside the camp itself—technically the second camp after the New York Police Department cleared out the first and caused even more national attention to focus on this campus lawn—the resistance is often quieter if steady: a community formed to call for ceasefire, divestment, and the end to war. This is a village built overnight.

  • Things Get Weird When Charlie Kirk's Guest Gets A Little Fascist-y
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 02:53 PM

    Republicans sure have changed, huh? As if Talking Point USA's Charlie Kirk wasn't bad enough, he somehow decided to bring Curtis Yarvin, an anti-democratic blogger, on as his guest. What could go wrong? Well, I'm glad you asked that. OK, you didn't really ask that. I did. Yarvin wants to give Trump unchecked power in November. Trump's lawyer is currently arguing in the Supreme Court for presidential immunity, which is not even in the Constitution.
