I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

welcome to bluesky. if the word "mapquest" means anything to you and/or you used it as a verb, you're in the right place

the president of the united states, for some reason apparently:

Ma dude😍

This is the dumbest possible way of trying to position this as something SCOTUS can't overturn and its so stupid.

Today.

The only people who actually want to see everyone "working together, across the aisle" are those for whom a non-hostile work environment in their personal corner of the political bureaucracy is valued higher than poor people surviving the winter.

Because voting "no" while letting others vote "yes" is strategic misdirection that lets Democrats fold every hand while claiming that only some of them fold some hands. No more tricks. Clear the decks. Put in a new batch.

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

Bernie endorsed @peggyflanagan.bsky.social for MN Senate and you can be sure as hell that Peggy would've fought for the shut down with her dying breath and Angie Craig would've been the first to fold www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

Ms Rachel says The New York Times asked her if she’s funded by Hamas

Jesus fucking christ

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

I’m gonna be super real right now, the ONLY reason I’m not changing my party affiliation to Independent is because I think the Democrats Party is still super vulnerable to primaries and I want my vote to count there. But in general? Fuck the moderates and centrist Dems who sold out America.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie] SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

Whether it's Joe Lieberman going MAGA or Tim Kaine caving in on ACA, both vice-presidential nominees turned out to be assholes.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Being in the US Senate is harmful to one’s brain, we should get rid of it

i think an especially depressing part of this whole saga is that "we need to win primaries so establishment dems are replaced by true progressives" is a thing we've done before but one of the progressives we worked hard to install over the establishment pick was fetterman

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

No one: Not a soul on earth: Chuck Schumer: Time to hand my ass and everyone else's to the Republicans again

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

This aged well

For what it's worth, I do basically agree that even pretty good Dem Senators (e.g. Booker) should face a strong primary challenge Some of them may end up deserving to win those primaries! But they should still have to face them

oh, and don’t EVER say we shouldn’t demand more of elected democrats. a whole lot of them need to be replaced because they’re still too scared to do the right thing. don’t fucking settle. expect more.

With Cornyn MIA & still not voting, votes can still be changed. An effective leader would be burning up phone lines trying to flip one of the Dems who voted yes to kill this deal. So, what’s Schumer doing right now?

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Republicans took away your healthcare. We refused to fight back. Please rush us $3

Anyway if you’re like me it’s a good night to cancel a bunch of recurring Democratic monthly donations and increase my monthly recurring donation to @runforsomething.net

if democrats want to retain any amount of integrity they need to immediately vote out chuck schumer as party minority leader

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway: 1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

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

what’s remarkable about this is that there are zero winners at all, one of the biggest lose-lose deals I can remember the Dem cavers will catch incandescent shit for it the rest of the Dems will catch collateral fury the big R win is… jacking everyone’s health care costs ahead of midterms

Are you a yes on removing Schumer as minority leader & replacing him with someone who will strip committee assignments from defector Dems? Covering your ass with a no vote means nothing if Democrats cannot reinstate caucus discipline.
