"Strong floor, no ceiling" is just left-coded trickle down economics.

The next Dem administration needs to revoke these pay-for-pardons and force SCOTUS to rule on whether POTUS can pardon via bribe and or pardon for crimes committed at the behest of the President.

I can't think of a policy more likely to break trump through the 36% favorability floor than starting a war in our own hemisphere over oil.

If the Dems take Congress and don't haul Stephen Miller in for questioning every damn day...

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked

Pete spent a ton of time here in 2016, Newsom has been in the news, Kamala just lost 12 mo ago. This says more about St A's choice in who to include than it does about where NH will end up in 2028

Every AI image should have required metadata that includes the prompt used to generate it. No, I'm not interested in the feasibility of this or how easy it would be to circumvent it.

Everybody involved will need to go to prison and if democrats in congress don’t have the stomach for punishing these people they should just resign now.

NFL Blitz, selecting the DB/safety and just absolutely trucking the receiver before the ball was even on screen was a cheat code and so so much fun.

AH WAH AH AH AH

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

this is a stunning piece of data journalism/art/whatever.

Anyone here have recommendations for logo designers around here?

Under what circumstances would this turn around besides Trump moderating his own administration?

OK, this is legitimately impressive spot on analysis from Gemini: "...in the context of youth sports economics, the goaltender is a high-capital asset managed by a family unit acting as an investor."

Gas stations make money when oil prices drop bc they slow walk price decreases to pad profits. But yeah, I'm sure those tariffless beef prices are gonna come down real fast.

On the one hand, I'd much rather be hated by Epstein than loved, on the other ...holy shit.

Took too long but that Wordle streak pull was strong. Just canceled my NYT news and games subscriptions.

So the stingiest MFers on the planet wrt their IP are going to let randos make content with it? This should be great for their brand. Can't wait to see what y'all come up with.

They should have to wear hi viz jumpsuits with bells on them like cats.

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

I will die on this hill. You can skill yourself into millions of dollars. You cannot skill yourself into billions. Billionaires are extremely lucky outliers with negative correlation to skill, and that luck should be taxed at the same rate as lottery winners.

There's a point where it no longer makes sense to stay on the Trump train. Every story that makes him weaker gets extra GOP brain cycles thinking about the after times. No one will want to be the last on the life boat. I think we're closer to a mass exodus than we're allowing ourselves to hope.

¿Cómo se dice "adverse inference"?

OVERT ACT 125 In additional furtherance of the conspiracy, DEFENDANTS met on November 12, 2025 to discuss ways to wield official government power to prevent further news of the child sex trafficking ring from becoming public.

Trump did the thing, everyone knows he did the thing, and he's got an entire political party and associated media apparatus trying to cover up his clear involvement in the thing. One of the sickest, most sordid chapters in an especially sick and sordid period of modern American history.

What if we took the millions of dollars we spend on military propaganda at every major sporting event, we instead honored the public servants that keep our society moving.

If Senate Dems don't vote to oust Schumer as leader (or push him internally to resign), the only conclusion left is that all of them wanted this result and were fine letting the moderate folks who won't run for reelection walk the plank. Not holding my breath.

NH has an abysmal bench of Democratic candidates. It's why we have two stuck in the 90s septuagenarian former governors as our candidates. We desperately need new blood.

reminder to any ambitious Dems waiting in the wings: announcing a primary challenge right now to a squishy Democrat who’s up in 2026, whether they voted tonight to shine Trump’s shoes or not, will almost instantaneously be awash in cash. fortune—and a primary challenge—favors the bold.

Sure we put you through a month of hell, but on the other hand we got nothing for it.

Also, so nice they're doing this on the weekend when they don't have staffers manning the phones.

Suck a colossal fuck up. Even if the Dems manage to hold the line, now the GOP can run around claiming they had a deal and Dems renegged. This is political malpractice

I get Shaheen since she's retiring (though torpedoing her daughter's congressional run in the cradle is interesting), but Hassan is signing her political death warrant

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately. He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go. Literally resign tonight.

If the non-caving Democratic Senators are really as irate as they anonymously claim to the press, they should call a leadership vote & oust Schumer. Anything less is acquiescence.

If Schumer allows Dems to cave he should resign as minority leader immediately after.

That right wing media echo chamber might actually effectuate GOP downfall by insulating them from the reality of just how unpopular they are.

The whole "we're going to use our levers of power to actively make your life miserable so that you'll blame the party that doesn't have any power" seems like a genuinely psychotic plan and I'm fascinated by the conditions that would make someone think it's a good idea.

How is he not named Dexter?

In addition to holding the GOP in check, if Dems win back the house/Senate, Altman et al need to be hauled in front of Congress and explain why their company shouldn't be dissolved.

This election suggests something interesting: the massive local GOP losses says the bad Democratic Party brand is salvageable, *if* the Third Way-style accommodationists are boxed out of leadership. Voters want to fight Trump and will support a pretty wide range of candidates to do it.

The time is now for the wokest motherfuckers in the country to rise up and primary the shit out of any Dem incumbents who won’t get in line with the new mandate. No position should be safe, from school boards to POTUS. Get out of our fucking way.

Oooh I picked him in my gym's celebrity death pool!

Man alive. The contrast between the courage of voters and the absolute cowardice of Democratic leadership is just undeniable and the story of the moment. The question is which will win out in the end and that question just got a whole lot louder.

Holy shit she's good at this.

If you have a second go scroll @runforsomething.net's feed of all of the new folks getting elected. One of my favorite orgs to support and the results keep coming.

This whole thread. Mamdani's success can be replicated, but it requires those in leadership to recognize and advocate for changes to the status quo that has served them well personally. We need leaders that care more about their constituents than they do about their bank accounts and their status.

For teams I'm not a fan of? World Series. If I have a dog in the fight, Stanley Cup, no question.
