Think about it, MAGA. Take all the time you need.

In terms of big disappointments, he gets honorable Manchin.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Angus king is worth north of $20 million and—get this—81 years old. No skin in the game. Probably like the other cave-men ( and -women) didn’t want to be inconvenienced by flight disruptions at T-day. 🐷

Had to write about Angus King's declaration that "standing up to Trump didn't work" because I've never heard anything bleaker in my life. badfaithtimes.com/were-not-ask...

Yes, we have issues and gripes. I certainly have mine. But I think they are solvable in the near term. MAGA, on the other hand, is in total disarray. And their problem - a malevolent, unpopular fool sinking deeper into dementia surrounded by clowns, is only going to get worse.

Gotta say, counting "We got them to agree that a law passed in 2019 is still the law" as a victory is some real learned helplessness

as a lifelong socialist who always voted for democrats, i just joined the revolutionary socialists. neither party serves working people, and i will now fight against both parties. the @democrats.org fucking burned us one time too many.

"It may not be much comfort for those bitter about what they see as a needless surrender. But there’s at least a chance that we’ll look back at this moment as a key turning point, one that produced a Democratic Party less willing to live on its knees." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

The US stands alone in the world.

NEWS: Senate Republicans are threatening to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—unless Democrats agree to tougher abortion restrictions.

Sean Duffy threatens "action" against air traffic controllers who didn't come to work during the shutdown: "I'm concerned about their patriotism."

DoorDash says sushi prices are down, per White House

If, according to Trump, the government doesn’t have the tariff money available to refund all of it if he loses the lawsuit before SCOTUS, how can he be talking about giving away trillions in $2,000 checks?

Look at what this garish, classless, tasteless fool has done to the People’s House.

Wow, you mean another one of Trump “peace deals”, in this case Gaza, lacked any specifics on how to actually implement a lasting peace? I’m shocked! www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Trump’s Economy lost an estimated 50,000 private sector jobs in October. But he continues to insist everything is booming.

Khanna: And then it’s awfully convenient that those eight senators happen to be the ones who aren’t up in 2026—and they’re all consulting Schumer. People are sick of this. That’s why I called on Schumer to step down.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow. She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Saying you inadvertently backed the US into a “National Security Event” isn’t the flex he thinks it is.

He really wants to lose the midterms.

I wonder if I can get a group of people in my life to stand around me and say stuff like this.

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

He was my Senator for a long time. For a really large chunk of that time I thought he was some politician from Israel. As he always spoke up about Israel, but would never mention Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island or Queens. He totally voted Cuomo

Trump shows off all the gold he has in the Oval Office

Nature makes weird planets, and now this is among the weirdest: As big as Jupiter, made of carbon, blasted by high winds, and heated to 1900 degrees C by a dying, fast-spinning pulsar. No matter how bad things get here, we live on the best of all possible worlds. 🔭🧪 arxiv.org/abs/2509.04558

Really great piece tying extractive model of AI to its bubble.

Time for @aoc.bsky.social to primary him into retirement.

That smug son of a bitch is responsible for the Supreme Criminal Court we currently have. He said he would fight hard so that Prez Obama would get his Supreme Court picks. I'm guessing he took a nap instead and was out maneuvered by Moscow Mitch

OMG get rid of him already. Gillibrand too. She is HORRIBLE. Crypto shill.

I find this remarkable: The Dresden Codex, one of the few surviving Mayan manuscripts, contains tables that give highly accurate timings of solar eclipses over more than 700 years, from 350 CE to the 12 century. 🧪🔭 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Its the arrogance that gets me. In olden days when a party leader led his cacus out to pasture (to the minority) that was it. You were no longer the leader and/or you retired. Now, they hang around and act like they deserve to stay in charge. Fault or not, you lost the senate. Youre done bro!!

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU. YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

We need a brisk wire broom to clear out the senate. These people make kindergarten look like grad school.

Yep!

It is incredible — the blind spots you develop when you’ve never, ever been poor.

For the love of God, Schumer is 74. He is out of touch, lacking in ideas, an arrogant SOB and a sell out.

NEWS: U.S. Senate advances bill to reopen the federal government in a 60-40 vote. Dems who votes yes: 🔵 Catherine Cortez Masto 🔵 Dick Durbin 🔵 John Fetterman 🔵 Maggie Hassan 🔵 Tim Kaine 🔵 Angus King 🔵 Jackie Rosen 🔵 Jeanne Shaheen Republicans who voted no: 🔴 Rand Paul

White House officials are furious with Bill Pulte, the Federal Housing Finance Agency director, who talked Trump into suggesting a 50-year mortgage plan. The White House was blindsided by the idea and is now dealing with a furious backlash from conservative allies, business leaders and lawmakers.

Angus King (aka as Nevil Chamberlain the Second): “Standing up to Trump didn’t work”

"The planes also don't have engines, which would need to be purchased separately."

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA
