Wait, you're NOT all watching the Hall &Oates Jingle Bell Rock video? DO YOU HATE CHRISTMAS?! Do you hate guys with propeller beanies where the propeller starts spinning when he gets a present?! #WarOnChristmas

Congratulations to everyone who wrote an op-ed about how he just wants americans to eat better

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

182 years ago today. “You may be an undigested bit of beef, a s̵p̵o̵t̵ blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There’s more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!” “Marley was dead: to begin with.”

one of the core things liberals need to stop doing is acting like our positions are some kind of aberration. instead, let us just do as the right does - operating from a position of strength that yes, our positions are better, superior and more popular.

The Senate seems to be officially done with recorded votes for 2025. Top # of votes with Trump in 2025 among Dems: Fetterman: 141 Hassan: 124 Shaheen: 124 King: 123 Rosen: 101 Warner: 100 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Is the over/under on Oscar noms for obaa 10? Because nine seems kind of easy, but 11 might be tough.

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things. There’s no third option.

Put the Christ back in Christmas except for stuff that Christ would say we are canonically/biblically evil for doing

SEASON'S GREASONS

I personally think there should be an option when you roll up to urgent care where you can write what you suspect your diagnosis is on a little paper before the doctor sees you and if you’re right you get a sticker

"For people with heart disease, the flu vaccine should be presented not merely as protection against a respiratory illness, but as a proven cardiovascular intervention to reduce heart attacks and strokes."

We know that Jay Kelly starred in Leatherheads, but did he direct it?

The "poverty penalty." Excellent points.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia. It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

It's astonishing that somehow we have whole swathes of the political class that have not managed to connect "everything seems like a scam now" to a useful political platform.

For the record, he is a traitor, thus ineligible for the presidency, and his entire reign is illegitimate on a legal level. This seems worth stating from time to time.

Quickly lost track of how many lies Trump shouted out tonight, but the main takeaway is that he has clearly lost touch with reality. Delusional. The most honest thing he said was, “no one can believe what’s going on.”

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire does.

Yeah, getting ahead is getting harder for everyone who isn't super plugged in. A landed aristocracy is emerging while the rest of the country fights for scraps and they want you to think it's because of DEI.

My opinion as an unbiased journalist analyzing the president’s speech is that the Republican Party should be outlawed

Nancy Pelosi moved heaven and earth to get Henry Cuellar installed and keep Jessica Cisneros out. He was one of the three (D) defectors here. Everyone who ever stuck up for either of them is a dog's dick with a separate, smaller dog's dick for a brain

Oh hey would you look at that

it really is jarring how quickly crypto scammers have straight up bought the US government www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/t...

One of my favorite running bits is that Donald Trump over the past decade has repeatedly indicated that he believes stealth aircraft are physically invisible. Absolutely world-class stupidity. You’ve never met someone this stupid. He’d be the stupidest person in any room you’ve ever been in.

Next Dem president might be tempted to look into the funding for Vought’s Center for Renewing America to see if there was some oil industry patronage involved.

This is insane

The 2028 Democratic nominee will be the person who is the earliest/most outspoken critic of this illegal war. That isn’t just because this will be incredibly unpopular but also because only 1-2 of the Dem front runners will have the guts to oppose the war and they’ll get all the support

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

If you're thinking about running for union office, this event co-sponsored by @labornotes and the Association for Union Democracy will surely be of interest: shar.es/agKWkN

Tea is the best beverage because it somehow wakes you up and calms you down at the same time.

The change in rents over the past four months is the product of increased supply resulting from new construction (begun under Biden) and weaker demand because too many younger people still cannot afford to be in the rental market. Deportations of gang members have diddly squat to do with it.

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean. I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

This is what the elites who installed Trump did it for. Not the only reason, but the main one. This is the explicit outcome they were trying to engineer.

I keep seeing more articles about how they regret it now that the damage is done & I truly believe that if you have any genuine interest in salvaging what’s left of this country then whether you want to or not, you can never forgive these people. You can never let them live what they did down.

A friend worked as a lawyer in the civil rights division of the DOJ during Obama’s first term and he said the whole time they were slogging through mud because of incompetent/saboteur W. Bush appointees. This time we gotta do some purges based on qualifications and basic democratic value alignment.

Lacey Chabert is doing a Walt Disney World Hallmark Christmas movie, do we think she's going to be a wedding planner who's too busy to get married herself, planning a magical Disney wedding, when she learns to slow down & love from the guy who plays Bert at the Grand Floridian character breakfast?

@alsobrooks.senate.gov Disgraceful. The people of Maryland deserve better

this is, of course, exactly what republicans have always intended for vouchers to do: defund public education to facilitate the creation of a private system of segregation academies

L. Frank Baum, 125 years ago: Fuck it. The shoes can fly. I don't know how else to get her home! The various writers of Wicked over the years: So the shoes fly. That much we know. But why? And how? That will be the audience's DELIGHT to FIND OUT.

Courts are using originalist arguments to expand executive power, weaken long-standing rights and protections, and entrench inequality. It’s crucial that lawyers push back. Our new guide shows you how.  bit.ly/4iQ1v0B

the best thing we can do to lower terrorism long term is gun control and taking violence against women seriously

The Chapo guys are trash

Tapping the sign again.

It is important to promise, now, that whatever Trump builds at the White House will be torn down as soon as he leaves. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/if-he-buil...

Really regretting the guy (me) who decided 10:30 a.m. was too early to get a hot dog and just walked right out of Costco. #coward
