Can someone please tell me what Jared Kushner’s official title is, and how much we’re paying him for his “negotiations?” And if we’re not paying him, is what he’s doing on behalf of the US legal? Thank you in advance.

I am so fucking sick of cops criminalizing the homeless.

Testing

Chris Sununu. Blech.

People on this site are becoming just as testy and unpleasant as those on the bad place. Even folks with whom you agree are eager to treat you like you’re stupid if you have the temerity to ask a question about what they’ve written. It’s really sad, how intolerant we’ve become.

Nobody better EVER talk to me about Hilary Clinton and Benghazi EVER again after the shameful way the administration has abandoned Americans overseas caught in the middle of this ridiculous war.

Give the man a peace prize. He’s earned it.🙄

Boy-howdy. Don’t upset the Glenn Platner junkies by bringing up the man’s Tottenkopf tattoo or his mercenary past. The man’s a “progressive,” after all. “Leftists” who howl about anti-Hamas posts as Nazism whilst touting the candidacy of Platner are a real thing.

Hey Dems! Do you get it now? Did you see how your Republican colleagues sneered at you and laughed at you and made a standing ovation when Trump called you crazy. Yeah. That’s fascism. Please act accordingly. Finally. For fuck’s sake.

Lots of gushing blood references in this SOTUS.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

Do people honestly think Glenn Platner worked for Erik Prince, got a Nazi tattoo, and didn’t understand what he was doing? Does this seem like someone who, given the “benefit of the doubt,” is intelligent enough to represent a constituency? Jesus, Maine, get it together!

For the record, when I have attended protests in PHX over these many MAGA nightmare years, most of the MAGAs who show up open carry rifles over their shoulders. It’s just the most outrageous bullshit to blame Alex Pretti for his own murder because he carried a permitted gun. JFC.

Adm Bradley must resign immediately and tell the people the truth. Why people need to hear it is beyond me-it’s right in our fucking faces. Hegseth bombed another boat today. These people are sociopaths. But, if Bradley is the patriot he probably thinks he is, he’d resign.

Do we really need to see anything more to convince us that our democracy is completely broken? Any Democrat that crossed the line tonight to vote with Republicans to reopen the government based on an empty promise is a traitor to their party and their country. Shameful, shameful stuff.

@gallego.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social please do not cave on the shutdown over a promise from people who have done nothing but lie to the American people.

No. Have people on the left forgotten about what Liz Cheney thinks about things like abortion rights and social programs for our vulnerable populations and gay marriage and, and, and…This is a terrible idea.

It’s probably been a long time since DJT had his dick sucked as thoroughly as Netanyahu is doing it today.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims. If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

Once again, it’s essential to understand that these top media outlets are political actors with an agenda to delegitimate the left and prop up and protect the right.

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

Without offering an opinion on the quality of WSJ's sourcing, we would note that extreme dishonesty has been a longstanding problem with administration sources. Good journalism is served by reporters keeping that in mind in the course of their reporting on this administration.

"I think empathy is a made up New Age term that has done a lot of damage." - Charlie Kirk That's a thing he said.

THE REPUBLICANS ARE STEALING YOUR MONEY!

“We discern no clear congressional authorization by IEEPA for tariffs..Given these considerations, we conclude Congress..did not give the President wide-ranging authority to impose tariffs of the nature of the Trafficking and Reciprocal Tariffs simply by the use of the term 'regulate..importation.'"

This whole, damn thread. Read it. Absorb it into your bones. Stop trying to find reasons for why these fascist fucks are fascist fucks. Instead, accept that they are. The left didn’t do this to them. They embraced fascism because they are fucking fascists. Period.

Is there anyone less effective than Randi Weingarten and the teacher’s unions? I don’t dislike her personally-I don’t know her. But she functions mostly as a cheerleader, not a resistance leader. And resistance is what is needed now.

“Within a mere 90 days, hundreds of thousands of heads of households, parents, caregivers, and contributors to the local economy lost their livelihoods” madamenoire.com/1446523/a-37...

It shouldn’t escape your notice that ICE detention centers are being built on military bases. What does this mean? What are the consequences of this? These are questions we should consider. If we think the military won’t go along with fascism, well, perhaps we should think again.

One thing I’d like to share is that I eat a Whole Food, Plant-Based Oil Free Diet. I do this because, for years, I had unaddressed high cholesterol and I was 30lbs overweight. I didn’t want to take the statin my cardiologist recommended. So, I looked for another way. 1/

Ah friends, we are well and truly fucked.

The base will read this just the way these ghouls want them to. What are the implications of that? We’ll soon see.

A surprise to exactly no one who knows who this harpy is.

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it. (1/2)

For most of this year, trans and nonbinary Americans have been blocked from obtaining passports that match their gender identity, But now, at least for a limited time, trans people can obtain accurate passports again.

Focus, people.

This is a big donor to Ruben Gallego. This is why Gallego has voted for hateful border bills and why he stays mum about the fascist raids we see happening all around our country. Why he thinks he’s safe from it as a Latino, himself, is beyond me. Collaborators are never safe.

If you didn’t hear that Mark Andreesen’s company is in the running to acquire TikTok’s American enterprise, and if you didn’t know that he is one of Ruben Gallego’s big donors, I’m here to tell you now. I’ve called his office repeatedly to ask for an explanation of this relationship. No answers.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Texas officials didn’t heed the warnings of the NWS. Why? Because they don’t care if people die. They are actively working to end folks’ lives through these cuts and policies. In a zero sum game, everyone who isn’t you is competition. Compassion and mutual aid will have to be the antidote, for now.

Are we in a Constitutional crisis yet? Can we call Republicans fascists yet? When I think about how folks who should have known better, tap danced around these words FOR YEARS, I want to scream. The malicious cognitive dissonance is maddening.

Dear Lisa Murkowski, Fuck You. Most Sincerely, Americans Who See Right Through You

“It can’t happen here.”🙄

I hope that people can finally see what’s happening. People like Lisa Murkowski won’t buck their party, even as she talks about how “hard” it is to withstand threats from her Republican colleagues. All she needs is a little bribe here and there to ensure her constituents reelect her, and she’s a yes

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

I can't think of anyone currently running for office more dangerous than Andrew Cuomo. Not just for NYC but for the nation, because unfortunately NYC disproportionately affects the rest of the states. Bad politicians elsewhere don't have the same structural power. NYC: Do not vote for this man.

Years and years ago, I said if folks thought the military or the police would protect the public from authoritarian despotism, they should think again. And here we are. No one will save us but ourselves.

The American version of populism uses government to screw it’s supporters whenever there is a private dollar to be made
