Genuine question - what is the structural/procedural/constitutional retaliation that we are to worry about if Democrats do substantial Court reform (and the legislative procedure changes required to achieve that)? What would Republicans do that they aren't doing already?

Jeanine Pirro failed to get a single charge on the sandwich guy

the Soros conspiracy coming from Elon in particular is just embarrassing. you’re worth like 80x what Soros is buddy, if you thought he was buying elections you could snap your fingers and fix it.

easily one of the funniest guys america has had in decades

A sitting Senator has more power than a grunt in the military and you pass the buck to them. You're a shithead. you know that right? Go do your job. Make a scene. Get your lazy ass back to work

While Trump's assertion that "a whole civilization will die tonight" represents a discrete threat of genocide against Iran, the fact that it comes from a U.S. president, while Congress does nothing, actually represents a broader civilizational collapse — whether he follows through or not.

Feels pretty grim writing a polite email to my representatives begging them to leave their vacation to try and stop a nuclear war

I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...

this idiot chose this war he can't win and all he has left are warcrimes to try and ease the pain of his humiliation by washing it with the blood of thousands of innocents

nine hateful people that we all get to live explicitly downstream of til the day they die. conversion therapy is evil no matter how you lawyer your way into supporting it 🙂

No. We keep getting takes like this and "are the Yankees the real working class team now?". The answer is always no. Those teams are as hateable as ever. Similar to the Lakers and the Cowboys (though that one is losing steam since they haven't won anything in 30 years)

No.

ipad baby president

The NYPD preliminary expense budget for FY27 is $6.7 billion but really the budget all told will be over $11 billion. We are trying to get them to fund the public libraries at $635 million.

Even if you planned a war with Iran entirely through ChatGPT it would probably tell you the Strait of Hormuz could be closed as a result. What are we even doing.

this guy is literally The Official Podcast of the Billionaires Who Have Captured the Government. not a place of honor. nothing valued is here

There is a man at the ACC tournament screaming Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls while Stanford tries to shoot free throws

One of my biggest low-stakes pet peeves is "your product has shipped" emails when a tracking number is created but the carrier doesn't have it yet. No, it literally has not shipped, you just printed a label for it.

Remember when Democratic leadership stood by Henry Cuellar after an FBI investigation and funneled him tons of cash for him to ultimately fend off a progressive primary challenger by 300 votes?

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

Have airstrikes by a hostile foreign country ever produced this outcome? The reactionary centrist blob keeps pretending this is part of a duly considered long-term strategy from Trump but that is not how he operates and even if it was, this is a dumb strategy.

I don't care if Congress authorizes War on Iran. NO WAR ON IRAN. I want people to fucking reclaim their morality.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

The rules are pretty simple, Trump can do whatever he wants to minorities, immigrants, his political enemies etc. but he can't fuck with the money.

Hey @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov this sucks man, please do better www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/19/m...

Monstrously evil. Abolish ICE. Melt down its weapons and sell off all of its assets. Release everyone from its concentration camps and grant citizenship (if they want it) to everyone whose rights it has violated.

definitely seems like you're safer from any kind of punishment for being in the Epstein Files than for, say, just to pick two examples totally at random, attending a college protest for Gaza or tweeting that you weren't very sad Charlie Kirk died

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

US Troops killed all the guards at Dachau for this kind of shit.

They literally dragged a minor employee out of a Target as he was wailing that he was a US citizen, roughed him up in their car, and then dropped him off bloodied and bruised in the freezing cold a couple of miles away, so miss us with this.

Reminder that Fetterman voted to confirm Bondi

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY. I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

every single "principled libertarian" put on the red hat in 2016 and i don't think we should let them take it off and pretend like they're real intellectuals again now that he's unpopular

it will really be something if the Epstein Files unseat a British Prime Minster who isn't in them, and not the American President who was Epstein's best friend.

Every Super Bowl ad was just “HEY REMEMBER THIS SHIT? HUH? YOU REMEMBER THE POP CULTURE YOU CONSUMED THAT ONE TIME IN YOUR LIFE WHEN NOT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING FUCKING SUCKED. REMEMBER THAT?? brought to you by a company causing your electric bill to increase 287%”

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

we can have a little secret police, as a treat🥴

If I had limitless money I would fund the eternal preservation of America's greatest institutions

Kelly Vargas writes about what happened to her, her husband, and their 6yo daughter in the family camp in Texas. Filth, illness, medical abuse—her child has lasting complications from being injured by a staff member. We don't know the half of what's happening in the camps, but we know enough.

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

If many people hold a left-wing opinion they are a mob and should be ignored; if few people hold a left wing opinion they are fringe and should be ignored. The substance or correctness of the opinion is irrelevant. This is the reactionary centrist credo bsky.app/profile/eliv...
