So… I can’t decide if JD Vance unwittingly gave us useful counterintelligence by letting us know that Stephen Miller wears a size 7 shoe. 🤔 www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-...

Someday, Trump will be gone. But the GOP will live with the Big Mac sauce stain on their credibility for generations. I will never, ever, ever get over the fact that the Senate confirmed Pillboy and Donkey Doug to run our nation’s healthcare system.

Now that we’ve moved from the “fake news/didn’t happen” stage to the “yes, we killed those guys, but they were drug traffickers and had it coming” narrative, I guarantee we’re also going to see “actually, it was a mercy killing because it would be worse to drown slowly or get eaten by sharks.”

Strong floor, no accountability. www.silive.com/politics/202...

Imagine becoming PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and then spending your time—and taxpayer resources—demanding that your coms team (repeatedly) respond to something Sabrina Carpenter said. The man has the thinnest skin of any human being alive. He is so fucking unserious.

Holy hell… did Halara hire a former DSCC fundraiser to lead their marketing team?! I have gotten like 12 texts a day from them this past week, even *after* the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deluge.

So this is a *wild* take by Palantir’s CEO Alex Karp… TL;DR: “No, maaaan, you don’t get it! The REAL progressives are the anti-immigrant techno-surveillance state billionaires!” www.msn.com/en-us/techno...

The discourse around how “Strong Floor, No Ceiling” is the Dem response to “Make America Great Again” is hilarious. In addition to SFNC meaning essentially nothing, it is *so* like Dem strategists to think that the response to effective simple messaging is to… talk in metaphors!

There is a very real possibility those killed weren’t drug cartel members. But I’d like to add to the discourse here that IT’S ALSO NOT OKAY TO MURDER DRUG DEALERS. We have exceptionally wrongheaded and draconian drug policies, but “state murder without trial” still isn’t fu*king allowed. Period.

RESCUE BREATHING! I love ‘Knives Out.’ I really do. But I love safer use education even more. Marta should have known what to do when she couldn’t find the naloxone: #HarmReduction #SaferUse #Naloxone #Narcan #RescueBreathing 1/3

JFC. Bring it on, you weak fucks. Fucking try it. Fucking TRY to court-martial a decorated veteran and FUCKING ASTRONAUT for reminding troops that they swore an oath to the Constitution. Let’s see how it goes for you, you bloviated cowardly twerps. 😡

I KNOW that Trump’s new look reminds me something… the hair, the scarf, the robe… 🤔

Did… umm… did Zohran Mamdani find a previously unreleased alternate ending where Buzz Windrip takes a meeting with Seneca Doane?!

Y’all, when MTG is all “yeah, this shit has gotten too crazy for me,” we might be in some trouble. 😬

If we’re going to “Whereas, Whereas, Whereas” an account of all the times in history when socialism caused harm, can we do capitalism next?! www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

JFC. Not unlike them not being all in on being “anti-antifascist,” MAGA is pretty riled up about civilian leaders with distinguished military careers reminding active duty service members that they shouldn’t do crimes. 😬

Wait… I think Trump found his international Antifa. www.cnn.com/2025/11/17/a...

Saying “Aliens do not cause diabetes” is not an evidence based claim. Studies have not ruled out the possibility that aliens cause diabetes. Also, one in two surveyed abductees *believe* aliens played a role in their diabetes, and that’s what we call SCIENCE! [mic drop]

MBL saying that he has done everything he can “to be sure that nothing happens like that again” absolutely floored me. Yeah, WE KNOW. That’s what we’re angry about. The steps you took were to murder and dismember Khashoggi. You’re right. We can be sure that won’t happen again.

Maybe Donna from Accounting will *finally* listen when we tell her to use Dropbox for large email attachments. 🙄

Only 16 out of over 600 Chicago ICE detainees had criminal histories. Trump said he was going after “the worst of the worst.” This isn’t even the best of the worst. Nor is it the worst of the best. These are gardeners and preschool workers. Wake the hell up, America. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

The absolute worst combination of mental health struggles and personality defects is to be both actively depressed and also pathologically empathetic. Not only do you struggle to find a goddamn single ray of light, but you also feel terrible for the shadow you cast on other people.

Expect a HUGE distraction from the White House today. They are going to want you to look absolutely anywhere but here. Trump knew about Epstein’s victims. (I have gifted the full article here.)

There’s no Democratic Party. What we have is a group of wet noodles stuffed into suits & blazers who presumably once believed in… something, and a group of progressive activists who’d like to stop the world from burning and who reluctantly share a party with them because there’s nowhere else to go.

First music video from Lily Allen’s new album is out.

This is it, right here. This should give you hope. This is what it can look like when we do the work. This is the power of pounding the pavement. This is why we can’t just talk about “community” in an abstract way, we get out there and LISTEN to people. This is the difference a year can make.

Absolutely no revisionism will be tolerated. I wish I believed in hell so I could imagine him burning there for eternity.

Serious question: Ignoring how bad of an idea private health insurance is, why do we also accept the HORRIBLE customer service? Even if you’re like “Hell yeah! Let’s add an expensive, morally bankrupt middleman to medical care,” you’d still expect the company to be responsive & helpful, right?

I think the reason I am so viscerally angry about the gerontocracy is because I’m 51 years old and literally every day I have some occasion to think to myself, “I’m too old for this shit.”

The real headline: Fidel Castro’s future grandkids’ mom was an astronaut, kind of.

It feels ridiculous to even point out that it’s not about the drugs. It has never been about the drugs. Trump wants Venezuela’s oil. Yes, the U.S. pumps plenty of oil. But if Venezuela isn’t a competitor, we can sell it for so much more.

Having grown up poor and being financially secure means simultaneously feeling grateful and guilty every time you are full. The people allowing SNAP benefits to lapse for 42 million Americans will *never* understand this.

The point of this is not just retribution against people who were mean to him. Trump claims the ‘20 race was illegitimate so he can take federal control of counting the votes. This is part of their plan to steal the ‘28 election, and every “election” that follows.

To anyone soulless enough to make FAFO jokes right now about Trump voters losing SNAP benefits, let me remind you that shitty people—and their *children*—deserve food too. Hunger is *never* an acceptable form of a collective punishment.

Zohran Mamdani spoke what is, quite possibly, the single greatest and most moving piece of personal political commentary I have ever seen or heard from a politician. “While it would be easy to say this is not who we are… we know the truth. This is who we have allowed ourselves to become.”

Here’s how I see White House demolition fiasco: A convicted criminal is breaking the law by destroying public property that was built as part of crimes against humanity on land stolen from people as part of an earlier criminal imperialist enterprise. …

Speaking of betting, I will bet anyone $500 that this probe started because Kash Patel lost money on a sportsbook wager related to this case.

To leftists complaining that “No Kings” isn’t meaningful because there was no risk involved & no direct demands: Most Americans have never done any anarchist calisthenics. “No Kings” helps folks activate activist muscles they’ve never used. We need them to stretch if we want them in the game later.

DSCC POLLSTER: “What kind of tone would you like to see Democratic leaders take in response to ICE raids?” ME:

2% of Americans attended the No Kings! protests today. 7 million people. One out of every fifty Americans took to the streets to say enough is enough. Let that sink in.

If you’re thinking “he said the quiet part out loud,” you should understand that THERE IS NO QUIET PART ANYMORE.

They are investigating it as “vandalism.” WHAT?! So someone broke into the office and swapped out the regular flag on his corkboard with a this one?! How stupid do these people think we are?

Nearly 10,000 laugh reactions. I don’t know, man. It’s hard to imagine humanity ever facing a more dangerous threat than our own willful, wanton, joyful ignorance.

Real talk: I absolutely believe Graham Platner can win this primary, but I worry that Mills and Schumer are going to damage him badly along the way. I fear they’ll do the GOP’s dirty work for them. But only if we let them. 1/3

So, if we ever recover from the chaos and insanity of the last several years, can we now finally put to rest the whole “[government/schools/orgs/etc] should be run more like a business” horseshit? Because, once again, WE TOLD YOU that was a bad fucking plan.

On this National Coming Out Day I want to say FUCK ICE for sending queer asylum seekers back to their countries of origin. Many fled persecution and violence simply for being queer. A number of these folks were closeted for their own safety, and they came out as part of their asylum process.

So who are we gonna bomb because he’s mad he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize?

Stephen Miller didn’t lose audio AND he didn’t freeze. He had someone absolutely screaming in his earbud after he said the words “plenary authority.” Someone was pulling his greasy piano wire strings.

I see the media just gleefully gobbled up the hooked worm the GOP dangled in front of them. No, we aren’t fighting over “enhanced Obamacare subsidies.” The term you’re looking for is “ACA premium tax credits.” Do you see the difference here? So how did this happen? 🧵
