"I can't afford a house" and "I only qualify for a 50-year mortgage" mean the same thing.

Trump lured Lauren Boebert to an in-person meeting in the Situation Room, instead of calling her on the phone, because he knew all her electronic devices would be confiscated before entry, so she couldn't record anything embarrassing or incriminating. www.cnn.com/2025/11/12/p...

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Foster, transport, donate…every contribution, no matter how small, saves lives!

If releasing the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

First, the federal government getting its economic data from DoorDash is a bit alarming. Second, people who use DoorDash pay an average of $63 for a meal from McDonald's. Sort of an odd place to look to gauge sensitivity to the cost of food.

Oh …

Pretty clear what’s going on here! Pay your tribute and your legal problems go away! Hey 77 million Americans that voted for a felon, this is the corruption that you apparently wanted! And thank you Congress and the media for totally normalizing presidential extortion! 🤬🤬 #ProudBlue

🔥 @RepJoeNeguse: “Most of 🇺🇸 will find this REPUGNANT. These senators are guaranteeing themselves million-dollar paydays.” Bipartisan horror at @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s greedy money grab snuck inside the funding bill— rewarding themselves for getting investigated.

it's (darkly) funny that the tech titans' politics are basically "we have no choice but to end representative government because my employees asked for a slight raise in 2020"

The central question in American politics is simple. Do you stand with forgotten Americans or the Epstein class? That's it.

Here we go again

They've had over 15 fucking years but they're gonna solve it over the holidays while they're barely in session. Sure, Micro.

the democratic party establishment hasnt learned a damn thing since they voted to allow george w bush to invade iraq. not one thing.

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown. There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

It's incredible that we let billionaires bloviate about their policy views without throwing tomatoes at them. We know what they want, they want policies that work for a few dozen people and immiserate the other 300 million. Not interested!

We elect 537 people—Congress plus the White House. That’s not even enough to fill the bleachers at a small-town JV game. Yet those 537 hold hundreds of millions of us hostage with ideas like “trickle-down.” The power to change this is in our hands.

Americans are so oppressed & manipulated that the majority actually BELIEVE that being taken care by our government is “a handout”. WRONG. It’s OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK FOR US. Basic care is labeled “socialism” as a way to SCARE & REPEL people. WRONG. It’s just “a government by & for the people”.

🔥 @agiftfromtodd.bsky.social : "Y’all get it now?? Do you understand what’s possible? I don't wanna hear no more 'my vote doesn't matter. Nothing ever changes.' Look what happens when you participate. We win everything. There are more of us… for the rest of your damn life, you gotta vote.”

@unityindefiance.bsky.social made the perfect meme !!! #HeCaresAboutNothingButHimself #WTFAmerica #ETTD

Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America" Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.

Something I’ve noticed is there seems to be a sort of pervasive assumption that the status quo has gravity. That there’s a natural, comfortable way things should be and that deviations from the normal state of the world will correct themselves in time. But as a paleontologist, I know this is false.

One bit of solace I have is that Musk will never say, write, think, communicate, or post anything even remotely within the realm of being funny. Never. Not a single time. And it eats at him every day.

I've been on here for about a year now and I have to say you guys have made this infinitely more enjoyable than the Apartheid app. Some of you have been here the whole time and some of you are new friends, but I appreciate all of you guys, for sure. Fuck fascism. Power to the people.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that. But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal. You can’t negotiate with people like that.

That’s ok, because in reality, it’s NOT him, it’s THEM. His supporters, enablers, apologists - our neighbors who dally in the fantasy that Trump’s authoritarian wet dream will benefit them eventually, those who think their lot is improved when those “beneath” them are pushed further down.

Funny how projection works. The folks shouting about “agendas” might want to check their own playbook. #LGBTQ+
