And even if he did “commit,” it would still be a worthless, empty promise from a worthless, empty person.

like this is basically it, the melts melted under pressure

“We’ll see.” We’re supposed to accept that Democratic leadership allowed this caliber of strategist to negotiate a deal with the most diabolical, mendacious group of politicians in American government.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

They understand. The problem isn’t awareness. It’s allegiance: the voters who elected them, or the donors who own them?

The American People: “Chuck Schumer, we have provided you with all the leverage you need to win this shutdown fight, once and for all.” Chuck Schumer *flushing the leverage down the toilet*: “What?”

What pisses me off the most is that the Senate has just disenfranchised the millions of Democrats who actually showed up to vote. Not the swing voters, or the 3rd of Americans who can’t be bothered. The people who actually did care enough to vote. The Senate just told those voters to Fuck Off.

Guy from FoxNews texted the guy from Road Rules to loan out the military to do air traffic control because the Apprentice guy who is president is a toddler. Read that sentence, then read it again. We great?

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)

Brooke Rollins needs to be immediately arrested and thrown in the clink for defying a court order. I know it won’t happen, but it’s what should happen. I can dream.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

I hereby call dibs on “Point-Blank Sandwich” as a band name.

“They quoted an actual conservative and that made us look bad”

Undocumented people aren't eligible for food stamps, yet I guarantee that if you arrived at their door hungry, they would share their food with you.

Notable that the people carrying Trumpism don't act like they believe they're carrying out the will of the public, they act like dictators terrified of a spontaneous uprising so swift and massive it overwhelms their protective services before assistance can arrive.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

When federal goons tried to abduct a neighbor in Albany Park, Gabe Paez sounded the alarm. The community answered, protesting and defending. We don't wait for anyone to save us; we keep us safe.

Exactly what to do if the FBI comes to your door asking questions and attempting to harass you about a post. I don’t wanna hear shit until I see full identification on camera. And he called them fuck heads and cowards to their faces because he did nothing illegal. 😂 😆

Decimation. Interesting history attached to that word - it was originally a punishment in the Roman Legion in which every tenth soldier in a group was killed. Later, it became synonymous with devastating failure or defeat. Currently, it’s estimated that 40 million people will lose their SNAP

I have a very bad feeling about this...

"Bottom line, we spent all our money paying thugs to beat up black and brown people since we thought it would be funny, and now we have nothing left to pay for anything else."

Yeah, this is what I wrestle with -- a college freshman today was only nine when Trump first ran for president. They've grown up with him as a baseline, not an aberration.

I don’t understand why anyone’s debating this — a Nazi tattoo is a non starter, full stop. This is a race for a U.S. Senate seat. The bar for candidates to clear doesn’t have to be insanely high, but it should at least be off the ground

The AWS crash happened when Soros tried to Venmo 7 million protesters all at once. Anyway, he’s broke now.

Ok, an informal poll: I cannot bring myself to forego punctuation and grammar when texting - to do otherwise feels wrong. I’m GenX, so that might play in. To be clear, I’m only referring to my own habits; others ignoring said guidelines doesn’t bother me in the least. What’s the general consensus?

A dead pedophile controls the GOP

The Trump regime must be inconsolable tonight about the sheer number of protesters today and that none of them were violent. They were counting on US to be violent as an excuse for THEM to be violent back. But, as usual, we were smarter than them. Great day everyone! ❤️

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said: Somewhere in America A little Hispanic girl Is hiding in an attic And keeping a diary. #NoKings

Elites collapsed and capitulated. Regular people never did. #NoKings

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

literally no need for this the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems. I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Get ‘em on a leash. bsky.app/profile/unra...

So, the way I think this needs to be framed is “elections don’t matter because even if you win they won’t let you in, therefore we no longer live in a democracy”.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

This. Said. It. All. ⬇️⬇️ Please. Share. So. Everyone. Knows. The. Truth.

Of course Vance is defending the MAGAjugend chat. Given that membership is apparently open to any bigot, even those in middle age, he doesn’t want people picking on his friends. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Don’t act perplexed. Be direct and tell the American people why Trump is doing what he’s doing. Also, keep it short and to the point. Don’t use a paragraph when a bullet point will do.

It's even bigger- they've stopped acknowledging free and fair elections.

WTF are these men waiting for?!? Damnit!

When the next generation of your party is more repugnant than the current generation, it’s proof positive your ideologies are deeply toxic and un-American.
