Also, that most of the Republican examples of threats are for breaking with Trump seems like a pretty big asterisk on both sides framing.

Also not mentioned in the piece: Republicans joking about the brutal attack on Paul Pelosi, the blanket pardon of January 6th participants, no matter how violent their crimes. This dark atmosphere didn't just suddenly manifest of bipartisan causes.

It's strange to document all this and not explicitly pin Trump's violence fetish as being the obvious number one contributing factor. Just because his thirst for violent retribution in politics has blown back on him on occasion doesn't absolve him of blame.

Try the “pizza.” I hear it’s good.

My entire life I've heard centrists scolding leftist candidates with "oh, but how will we pay for all that? isn't your agenda unreasonable? shouldn't we run on a modest proposal for means-tested tax rebates?" Then Mamdani gets elected and makes it all look pretty easy. No wonder they hate him.

The neo-Nazi party made huge gains in the German elections thanks to the backing of the world‘s biggest billionaire and most prominent publicizer of white nationalist conspiracies on the planet. Good thing there’s no comparable relationship in the US for our media to explore.

A White House press that got very comfortable a few years ago framing questions around the president's age still isn't posing questions about this president's obviously crumbling mental state.

Democrats who have had absolutely nothing to do with Hasan Piker will be hounded about him, while Republicans who are directly benefitting from Musk funding will be asked about him in the most generic "money in politics" way, if at all.

As a Jewish person who has long been concerned about antisemitism, I think it’s fucking bananas that Republicans’ biggest donor is a neo-Nazi and that’s not really a political scandal—but we’re constantly talking about whether my friends on the left have a problem.

AOC: Let’s put a data center in each one of Donald Trump’s golf courses. Let’s put one in New Jersey on his golf course. Put one in Mar-a-Lago. The only reason I don’t say put one on the White House lawn is because he’ll be out of there soon. If he loves them so much, he can have them.
