The most infuriating thing about Schumer is this exact dichotomy. The public is SCREAMING for blood and he's just waddling out with a prepared statement about cloture and funding bills like it's another day in the office.

One of the craziest things about Musk-era twitter is that because linking to anything is penalized by the algo, no one uses links and you have NO IDEA where any of the info you see is coming from. It's madness!

Still can’t even get all democrats on board to impeach Secretary Noem. Congress needs to stop this. That’s their job.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Suggestion: someday in DC, when this all is over, we should build a bronze statue of regular people holding up smart phones to video record. The phones will be pointed at the White House, echoing the Jefferson Memorial statue gazing directly at the House from the south.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Just think of each maybe-event as Microdosing It Happening.

/7 Doing so is not inconceivable because we did it 23 years ago when we perceived the existing entities didn’t work. Being brutal and lawless to Americans is as much of a problem, if not more, than failing to protect Americans. ICE is infested with lawless bigoted anti-Americanism.

Democrats need to realize ICE isn’t just—or even primarily—a mass deportation force. ICE is also Trump’s most loyal internal security force which will be used to attack regime opponents and try to steal the election. They should defund his authoritarian capabilities.

Great day to have functioning eyes and a working brain

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

I want to find the consultant who convinced Dems to stick with this framing, tie them to a stake, light a match, and tell everyone they have to decide between caring about saving them or caring about milk being 2% cheaper

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

And again, this resonates with what Team Fight is demanding Dems do about Trump once they take power back—this is the equivalent of a Day One executive order from the next president repealing all of Trump's executive orders and announcing that his ballroom will be razed.

“Someday Trump and his immigration policies will be gone, but immigrants will still be here. So all of you protesting and trying to protect them and speaking out about sending them to torture camps: what if you are setting brown people’s expectations too high? Who’s going do deal with that, huh?”

1970—no fault divorce finally legalized, female suicide rates drop 20% 1974—Equal Credit Opp Act passes, women finally have basic access to finances 1993—Marital rape finally criminalized Call me old school but countering record high suicide, financial imprisonment, & suffocating DV IS Liberation

This might sound harsh, and judgmental, but if video is your preferred way of getting information about a topic, you’re a fucking moron

Shorter Chatterton: "How dare people judge me by the content of my character."

so far tonight msnbc has interviewed two students from brown university that are also survivors of separate high school shootings. insanity.

Governors saying the actions of ICE will not be tolerated while doing nothing to enforce those words is getting mighty old. Have any ICE agents been arrested on any state charges. What do they expect from their constituents when the people in power are only delivering lip service.

Social cohesion can’t endure without some sort of penalty — opprobrium, shame, what have you — attaching to baldfaced, unrepentant lying.

Every Democratic mayor and governor should say this. Should have been said for months. ICE AGENTS will be held ACCOUNTABLE.

Maddow: “What she articulated is we’re going to show up for working people and we’re going to show up against fascism and authoritarianism. Those are the unifying threads that all Democratic candidates must agree to and beyond that, you can be all sorts of different things [based on where you run].”

I support everyone giving vast sums of money to Andrew Cuomo. It’s the “lighting a million quid on fire” art piece but this time performed by the worst people in the world.

If the press had any balls they would ask Trump where President Miller is every time they see him. And when he speaks they should ask the talk to the actual President. I’m sure that would go over well…

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

why is every bush guy somehow more clearsighted on this than john fetterman

ah, well

Dear Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov, The American people are asking you to do one thing right now: refuse to fund an authoritarian regime. The issue is not healthcare—it’s authoritarianism. We, the people, recognize that. We need to know you do too. Prove it by fighting. Sincerely, The People

you'd also think this would be worth writing about in the American press? i'm going insane

Supreme Court Rules 6-3 That Fundamental Interests Of United States Of America Would Be Irreparably Harmed If It Race-Based Harassment And Detention By Masked Thugs Were Even Temporarily Halted

Seriously though. This woman calls herself a proud conservative, but this is not a conservative sentiment, at least as that term is understood in modern America, unless it is applied solely to fetuses.

Congrats to the nominal opposition for being to the right of *Bill Kristol* on Trump assualting DC

Our beautiful president has taxed the poor, sent troops to stomp through playgrounds in California, opened up concentration camps, doubled the price of seemingly random goods for no discernible reason, and bombed a foreign country just to do it. And yet these ungrateful peasants are unhappy?

They gonna start calling Schwarber "The Big Tariff" the way he inflating the cost of his next contract. #ringthebell

This is why the Phanatic is the undisputed best.

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

This guy was indicted for bribery lmao

Where in god’s name are we as a society when “being young and ambitious on policy” is an unforgivable sin, while “being corrupt and resigning in disgrace after then sexual predation of dozens of women” is not?

I don't need to hear another word from anyone defending the NYT ever again and I have to assume the talented reporters and writers employed there will understand. This is Jenny McCarthy shit. Shameful and pathetic. Both sidesing scientists vs the stupidest people on earth. National Enquirer shit.

[walks into Easter Island] I see head people

The official NBA Finals of Car Dealership Owners For Trump

OMG I FIGURED IT OUT UNLIKABLE? SOCIOPATHIC? PETULANT? WHINY? STEPHEN MILLER IS GROWN-UP CAILLOU

when you think about it rfk jr. is the pinnacle of the american dream because in what other country can an ex-heroin addict who didn’t go to medical school and gets his science from 4chan become the authority on public health
