"There arguably is no comparable point in the history of this country — not even when Americans fought each other during the Civil War — when the very constitutional framework has been so close to succumbing to the authoritarian whims of a single official"

Within 24 hours of the Kirk shooting, top Trump officials and administration lawyers were drafting legal memos, writing blueprints for possible executive actions and prioritizing which liberal organizations and strongholds of the left needed targeting.

Ken Paxton’s former top cop on why he’s voting for James Talarico:
I spent 2 hours with James Talarico. Number one, I saw no deception. He answered all my difficult questions. He didn’t dodge anything. He hit it head on.
I have been around politicians my entire life. I served 5 governors, I’ve met 4 presidents… And James Talarico is so different than other people I’ve encountered.
I think he’s the man who needs to go to Washington DC, and Ken Paxton needs to go home.

A warning to Donald Trump:
I’m deploying election lawyers to key battleground districts in California to protect every vote.
And I just made it a FELONY to illegally seize ballots.

"That food isn't American because an ingredient doesn't come from America!" is a standard that no other country is held to.
Potatoes and Tomatoes come from the new world. Under this standard any Spanish, Irish, English, Italian, or French dish that uses them as ingredients is just appropriated.

This has turned into kind of a weird election. And this is just based on social media, not any reporting. But based on vibes from Republicans, you'd expect Democrats to end up with 55 Senate seats. But based on the vibes from Democrats, you'd expect 50.500001.

Because nerd spaces have become petri dishes for fascism, and Star Wars was ground zero for that after TLJ. Fascists love the idea that there was a mythic past before (((they))) came in and ruined everything
And that belief is immune to reality, even when it's easily disprovable

"Nauseously optimistic" is the most accurate description I've ever heard in my life.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), quoted by Axios, on what Democrats feel ahead of the midterm elections.
“One woman at a rally in New Jersey told me last week that she was ‘nauseously optimistic.’ That may capture a lot of people’s last-minute jitters.”

One of the worst cultural phenomenons as of recent has been adults deciding to completely shut themselves off from things made for adults and insisting the stuff they’ve liked since they were 7 are actually even BETTER and MORE MATURE than the things they’re intimidated by

All prequel praise seems to boil down to, "Yes the acting is bad and the directing is bad and the dialogue is bad and the story isn't well-told, but the IDEAS are good."
