I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

THAT IS ALREADY A LAW. TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT WHO SIGNED THAT LAW. YOU ARE A FUCKING NEWS REPORTER

What is the argument for voting for Democrats for harm reduction if the harm is not fucking reduced

logging on to chat about movies

At least the widows of the dead Democratic Reps. will get their cash. (priorities, sigh)

It’s bullshit they haven’t used this shutdown as leverage against ICE raids just as much as the ACA, and that’s the giveaway.

Time to find out whether I have health care the normal American way: by logging on to truthsocial dot com slash realdonaldtrump to read the demented ravings of an 80 year old pervert

They're calling it the most profanity filled tipline of all time

It’s because they want to stop the progressive Democrat victory momentum last week in its tracks because they can raise more money as perpetual (controlled) opposition to Trumpism

not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

i do not care about "the future of the democratic party" as discussed by professional-class bozos who cannot see beyond their next client. i care about not living under a military occupation that is disappearing my neighbors

The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to, not because the voters want them to, not because the fed workers and SNAP recipients want them to… they are caving because their DONORS want them to. And that’s really all that ever matters to the corrupt

Hey Seattle voters. The mayor's race may come down to a slim margin of votes, so check TODAY to make sure your signature was validated and ballot was counted. There are easy steps to correct things if your ballot was rejected: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line. Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding! Find them here: reps.fyi

is it good when the dems in the house of representatives start calling for the senate to be abolished

A multi billion dollar giveaway to Turbotax and other big Trump donors.

woooooow house dems big fucking mad

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

Things will never ever get better if the GOP can do this every year without fail

I cant stop laughing

pleasing interlude

OK FINE CALL YOUR SENATORS AND STOP THEM FROM SUCKING (202) 224-3121

Check out my guy Tyler releasing his first owl. 😭😭😭 This is what it’s all about!

The Democratic caucus trying to stop Chuck Schumer from agreeing to a CR with a nationwide abortion ban attached

well im glad its a nice day

False alarm, I live in a valley and cbs hates me

are seahawks games no longer on network for the home market!? what the fuck

i think the main thing a lot of you “the economy is better than it’s ever been” types are failing to grasp is that it really—and i mean REALLY—makes it look like you don’t give a shit about poor people.

does this sound like a deal that’s done or someone trying to pressure dems into one

LOUISE!!!! P-TOOOOOWN

lol she got his ass and he knows it

also, must be nice to have enriched yourself so much you can retire on your own terms versus having to work until you die because Pelosi’s generation created a financial environment such that nobody who isn’t wealthy can afford to retire

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

singing "popcorn farts" to the tune of "girls on film"

ok look man my mom was a bartender at red lobster foe 30 years and she retired and has a house. this kid is a cunt but lets not just start making shit up

RIP Baudrillard you would have loved this shit

many times at bugonia I was the only person laughing and like...come ON people

Earlier today, a mob of Israeli Jewish settlers attacked and assaulted roughly 30 Palestinian villagers and activists, plus about 10 journalists who had gathered during an attempt to harvest olives near a settler outpost in the Israeli-occupied West Bank

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

Incredible things are happening in Richmond, Virginia y’all.

You gotta wait longer than a day to steal @theonion.com headlines if you want to pass them off as your own

There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.

Got a treasure in the mail today

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

I'm going to sincerely try not to get extremely annoying with this
