I liked Cave Caucus initially, but I now think Coward Caucus has a better ring to it.

Coming from one of the leaders of Indivisible, this is pretty monumental. But I agree that it’s pretty much the only option.

Remember the 7 million people protesting the GOP a few weeks ago? You’re going to have similar numbers protesting centrist Dems if the Cave Caucus votes to gut healthcare and reproductive rights (among other things).

Call your Senators. Don’t give the Cave Caucus cover to vote for a bad budget bill.

Thread.

There are over 100,000 polling locations in the US. Even if you tried to focus just on blue or purple precincts, you’re talking 50,000 precincts. How many soldiers are you going to station at each location? It’s a massive number.

We have taken products off the market for being far less dangerous. We also have a clear signal that all the money we’re dumping into AI could be better spent addressing a serious mental health crisis.

Hot take based on the comments in this thread: People can watch Hallmark movies instead of MSNBC and still be politically plugged in.

This is totally correct. The salaries and hours for state legislators in North Carolina make it impossible for anyone other than retirees, lawyers, and business owners to hold office. I’m sure this is true in many other places.

Yeah, this looks so cool.

Terrific political theater. We need more images like these.

Love this!

This is pretty clever. I considered running once just to be a thorn in the side of our incumbent who was running unopposed.

This was an important argument for me in Political TV: Parks and Rec was utopian in the best sense. It celebrated government workers as well-intentioned and hard-working in the face of Reagan’s anti-government narratives.

Mediocre washed up relief pitcher makes one last desperate cry for attention.

A great bellwether for what happened nationwide last night. Progressive candidates won sweeping victories in places like suburban Holly Springs, NC, in a repudiation of old-boys club conservatism.

This is absolutely right.

Yes, so glad to see these attacks fail so badly.

So good.

One can hope his boots are made for walking right out of New York.

Has he moved to Florida yet?

We have a few things to celebrate tonight, y’all. Even my former hometown of Holly Springs, NC, swept out the old guard a few days after the (now former) mayor sent out a flier tying himself and other town council members to Charlie Kirk.

An absolute moral and strategic failure.

Dick Cheney ran so Donald Trump could fly.

It hits on so many levels.

I’m old enough to remember when I thought adults that ran important things—like The Fucking Louvre—were smarter than this.

Systematically destroying any journalism that might be seen as opposing the administration. This is just brutal.

Totally deserved. It was an absolute thrill watch him play the outfield this year.

Inconceivable! Seriously, this is very sweet.

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

The recessed lighting fixture screams 1861.

This is absolutely true. I had Atlanta’s 99X playing almost every day back then, and Kravitz was it.

I’m Gen X but I teach high school and used to teach college. It’s very clear Taps has spent virtually no time with Gen Z and less time thinking about what might shape their political views.

I’d like to announce that I don’t believe Kim Kardashian is real.

I have some 20-something family members who have reported the same thing.

This should be completely obvious. It makes it much harder to condemn things like the Nazi Young Republican chat when you’re embracing tattoo guy.

I have an idea. Pay the police to hand out food to people instead of arresting them for stealing it. I bet it would be cheaper, and it would be better PR.

It’s easy to forget that low-information voters won’t tune in until October, and do you really want to be dealing with a bunch of stories about Nazi tattoos in October when the Senate is hanging in the balance?

Change one letter, ruin a candy. Scarburst.

Co-sign. She’s absolutely right.

Maybe he and fellow disgraced politician and sex pest Madison Cawthorn can get a place together.

16, but I’ve had layovers in the other four.

This whole thread is infuriating. I’m doing everything I can to stop my students from using AI. And much of the reasoning for that is encapsulated here.

Might have to start a betting pool on when the House will be called back into session. My current money is on January 2027.

Trump is endorsing GOP Congressman David Rouzer, which tells me he’s nervous about losing that seat to the amazing Kimberly Hardy. Donate and get involved if you can: secure.actblue.com/donate/nc07w...

This is perfect. RIP to one of the greats.

I’m old enough to remember when some people were trying to portray this guy as the pacifist candidate.

My Indivisible group coalition is getting ready to plan a food drive for Quincy, Hull, Hingham, and Scituate. We're happy to welcome other nearby communities, as well. No matter where you are, please consider donating in your community as families are going to get hit hard once SNAP benefits run out
