After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

If I see another “you didn’t vote hard enough and now here we are” post I am going to become the joker

whoa this guy seems pretty bad ass

It’s not just that they’re getting got by an army of professional Wallet Inspectors, it’s that they’re actively looking for the Wallet Inspector to hand over their wallets to

Joke’s on them, for they will all suffer The Bean’s Curse

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

If it's going to end up with either caving or the nuclear option anyway, what was the advantage to picking only one line of attack to hit? Take the top three or four most insane things that are the most unpopular, ACA among them but not just that, and make that your package of "demands" to hammer.

They were never going to get ACA subsidies, which is part of why it was a mistake to insist this was only about ACA subsidies and nothing else.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

Asking my Senators to vote for new leadership; either Chuck Schumer cannot whip votes, in which case he's useless, or he is fine giving up leverage for nothing, in which case he's worthless.

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Imagine coming off an incredible Election Day mandate from coast to coast and going 'you know what voters want? to be completely sold out by a bunch of craven cowards too pathetic to hold the line against a bunch of fucking weirdos'

It would have been better to simply cave on day one than do this. how can you ask anyone to suffer through a shutdown ever again, if you can deliver *nothing*?

I will never vote for @baldwin.senate.gov again 👍

I just called all three of Baldwin’s office numbers and left messages.

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

No Country For Old Men was released on this day in 2007. Today I write about what it can tell us about how we think about death.

“If you have enough money to get somebody, anybody, to produce a white paper for you, which you can then put on some think-tank stationery? Then, my friend, you are ready to enter into the rushing current of elite reportage.”

Why did they call it the Supreme Court instead of People Who Suck Ass And Should Die

BREAKING: Joe and Eileen Bailey, the married swing voters in Chuck Schumer’s imagination, have died after an accident on the Imaginary Long Island Expressway

Not now, carnivorous death ball

Monsters walk among us

For all the talk of hedge fund managers and racist podcasters fleeing New York, I’ve seen no discussion of people who now want to move TO New York with the promise of lower rent, better transit and universal child care

Can a historian help me, is not feeding or paying your troops typically a good idea

Flying Squirrel Loves It Every Time

Wonder why this scene looks so familiar... #WildlifeWednesday 🐦🐕

it's really hard to overstate how each an every one of these people doing this is the most annoying, loudmouth, chronically divorced, piece-of-shit loser that anyone in their family or neighborhood knows. All of America's failsons and unemployable fuckups have been given license to kidnap

Seeing Like a Nate.

They offered Curtis Sliwa $10 million dollars to drop out of the race and he said no!! Genuinely impressive. That’s principle. Gotta respect it. He would’ve turned down the Riyadh Comedy Festival, for SURE.

TRANSITION CO-CHAIR LINA KHAN!?!?!??!

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

Stop stop I already love him
