While the Congress wants to throw around ideas to prevent shutdowns, how about no pay for Majority leaders if they have new members that haven’t been sworn in within a week of their elections

I just keep remember that when @aurabogado.bsky.social originally broke a story on kids kept in offices there was an uproar and rush And Jake Tapper still bumped her And now some people treat it as philosophical content

"It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 members of the United States Senate over $1,000,000 a piece and we are robbing people of their food assistance and healthcare to pay for it. How is this even on the floor!?" Rep. AOC

Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

PBS did us a solid and dropped the whole Epstein emails. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

The Epstein files are clearly more damning than we assumed, which is saying something.

One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Epstein thought trump was gross.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

jeffrey epstein won't see your jokes about how poorly written his emails were, but your barely literate friends also won't see them, because they can't read. fire away

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Imagine what an actual opposition party could do right now.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

For folks (and journalists) who want to search the Oversight Committee email texts, I made a database for searching the 20k text files: splendorous-chaja-f79791.netlify.app

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

seeing how many people show up in jeffery epstein's emails makes me happy i never reply to anyone's email

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

Voting for weak politicians has consequences

We are really ruled by the dumbest people in existence.

i have said this before but i think that the people who were “charmed” by epstein wanted to be charmed

“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.“ — the ever-quotable United States Constitution, Article II Section 4

How long do you think Democrats were sitting on those Epstein emails waiting for an opportunity to release them when they needed a distraction? 

Based on the emails released today and what’s yet to come, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mike Johnson sends the House back on vacation until the end of time.

Right the fuck now, people need to sign up to primary corporate Dems all over America. Do not let any Dem in office feel safe. We need agitators everywhere.

Analysis | The Epstein revelations have roiled Trump’s base. Here’s how many kids worldwide his administration will have to starve to win the base back.

Still a few days left to purchase these small-batch, handcrafted flavored butter batons - all proceeds benefit Kindred on The Rock in Jamaica. Order deadline is this Friday - all orders ship Mon 11/17: bit.ly/CompoundButt...

So Jeffery Epstein clearly had enough information to destroy or blackmail Trump and while a prisoner under Trump's DOJ custody decides to wait until the camera in his prison wing went out to kill himself...

Hm. Really. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Folks, the reporting is that Trump is making PERSONAL CALLS to Mace, MTG and others about the discharge petition. Would you be doing this if you had nothing to hide? Let's please all be serious here.

We need a combo of the New Deal and Reconstruction In TURBO drive

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end

The Senate’s CR fails to meet the needs of America’s working families. I join the House Democrats opposing this legislation which allows the ACA tax credits to expire – driving up premiums and costs for tens of millions of Americans already struggling to make ends meet.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill? Here you go.

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

It is very weird seeing my friends and family slowly start to realize we're not overreacting.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

#DemBitches sold out the people. Ain't no 2 ways about it. www.youtube.com/live/HIRXA6W...

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

thinking back to when eric cantor got knocked out in a primary in 2014

What I’m feeling as a (still) registered Democratic voter is that we should burn everything down and salt the ashes (with votes)
