I have to hand it to them, it's an incredible bit to publicly lose a game of chicken, admit that's what happened, and then spend the next day lecturing everyone about courage and tenacity

Every senator let through the unanimous consent to make the whole thing take 5 minutes. Every one of them is lying to you about their opposition

there are senators that represent states (durbin, duckworth, schiff) who's electorate's voted to legalize hemp and yet here they are voting to reverse the will of their constituents. this on top of their capitulation on the shutdown is confounding.

We are literally mad about your failure to fight the real dangers.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

this aged like a good cheese

2025 week 45

Friendly reminder that Nancy was so afraid that AOC was gonna stop her insider trading that she whipped votes for Gerry Connolly from a hospital bed in Germany.

thankfully she left herself a runway to fulfill the gerontocratic destiny of dying in office

Right about now, the honk shoo brother

very much looking forward to the last time schumer is in charge of anything.

too big to fail speedrun

Rudy Giuliani today

easy democratic primary targets and those who to not support are those who failed to endorse zohran mamdani and continue to not acknowledge his win

💯

Bluesky rn

ok now that zohran is the mayor all focus has to be on ousting chuck schumer

best encapsulation why everyone hates democrats despite trump being the spawn of satan

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

At least guys like Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries have removed any & all doubt about their feelings on the will of Democratic voters & the role of primaries. They want us to know that every incumbent can be challenged & if a center-right Dem wins, you don’t have to vote for them

harris courting dick/liz cheney and muzzling the "they're weird" rhetoric were just devastating self-owns. there is nothing reasonable to chase; cheney was an objective scumbag and war criminal who should have died in the hague.

- Democrats must make the Hard Choices to support candidates who can win, even if they have some Republican positions - OK but what about this Mamdani fellow who is winning without Republican positions - No! We must make the Hard Choices!!

Dick Cheney Was Doing War Crimes in Exactly the Right Way, by Ezra Klein.

just because the bar's in hell doesn't mean we have to venerate a guy who's currently roasting

hug your war criminals a little tighter today

Chat, I'm not sure if a system that endlessly rewards being a cruel, dishonest, soulless hack and endlessly punishes doing something useful or good is a system that will survive, or a system that we want to survive.

can't wait for all the crying/throwing up from folks like brian when cuomo is (finally) politically euthanized

For years people made fun of big tech for inventing things that already exist and they responded with their magnum opus: inventing fascism. Incredible work

Such a perfect example of what we all give up when we refuse to address basic inequalities. I don't want to live in a country where all the public space is militarized to keep hungry people from stealing food, just give them money to buy food!

excellent write up and glimpse into a real powerhouse of a record

2025 week 44

yeah but he wasn't indicted/convicted for aiding and abetting an insurrection which would have barred him from office under the 14th amendment section 3 which would have absolutely mattered

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

2025 week 43

I guess I just don't understand like... if you don't consider being a nazi or transphobe dealbreakers in an elected official then what do you actually stand for

I would personally love to ignore all of this. Collins sucks. Mills is too old. Platner says all the right stuff and he seems young and energetic and HE HAS A GIANT NAZI TATTOO WHAT ARE YOU TALING ABOUT

very good synopsis of how gen ai is turning everything it touches into a mind-numbing trough.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.

ultimately, zohran mamdani is a reminder that politicians can be younger than 80 years old

2025 week 42

I am never ever fucking EVER getting over these fuckers just driving around snatching our neighbors off the street.

No budget until no ICE.
