The police should be broken up into like four forces each with different responsibilities and applicant pools.

She never fails to entertain:

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time. No more hiding behind election terms.

Newsom's latest troll 😆

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Well, it's a start...

“When we enlisted in the military, we were proud to serve our country. We never imagined that, after our service, we would have to fight for our own healthcare.” @tennesseelookout.com

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Johnson to swear in Grijalva, opening door to Epstein files floor fight #TheHill https://twp.ai/9PYC1E

The insistence on making these robots bipedal is probably the most obvious giveaway that it's all a big carny gimmick

#BBCDG nomination just in from the new White House East Wing.

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now. Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

Should have posted this before yesterday Oh well It's still pretty good

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs. So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract. Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles Unredacted Latest Update: Whistle Blower report on Ghislaine Maxwell's preferential Treatment in Prison. She's being treated better than a Mafia Don.

You might have thought Question Time was biased. But you never realised how much. UKIP never even had a single MP.

Hmm.. wonder why it can't be that side... maybe if we zoom in on WTF is happening with his mouth, we have a clue:

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU. YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

my God, she's gonna chop off Paul Sheldons other foot, isn't she

Just as Mamdani will be New York’s first Muslim mayor, Abdul El-Sayed would be the nation’s first Muslim senator. And like Mamdani, El-Sayed has focused his campaign so far on affordability and attacking big corporations. www.thebulwark.com/p/michigan-s...

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president. The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Those who minimized the impacts of COVID-19 would go on to minimize every other disease if rewarded for it. Big round of applause to Leana Wen, Ashish Jha, Zeynep Tufekci, and every other liberal who endorsed Marty Makary for FDA Commissioner! You really nailed it!

Well, it's that time of year again, folks. The magical cold weather phenomenon when the people with too much time on their hands start complaining about the faux "War on Christmas" and wanting businesses to display performative Christianity.

Hello lovely people. Thanks so much for your wonderful support in buying direct copies of Tiny Moments of Joy. I'm overwhelmed in the best of ways by your lovely generosity. Raising my first cup of tea of the day in your honour! (Books going to Kiwi homes today! More in alt text.)

Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill? Here you go.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Ghislaine Maxwell to seek commutation, document indicates https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/ghislaine-maxwell-seek-commutation-document-100000683.html

Balance isn’t the same as objectivity. The former can be done fairly mechanically. The latter requires analysis, clear thought, data and being prepared to present your conclusions. The BBC is very capable of the analysis, but scared of the presentation part, because it inevitably pisses people off.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

Macedo did not “skeet” again after blatantly lying about his own incompetence, unable to do little more than repeat anti-vaccine myths to legitimate their war on science. @stephenmacedo.bsky.social should issue a formal apology and tender his resignation; this is not academic intellectualism.

Then there's the timing. The effect of Sweden's policy was in the early months. Before the vaccine and before people started distancing and sheltering on their own. And IN THAT period, Sweden's excess deaths were MUCH worse than their Scandinavian counterparts.

Tonight was a very bad night.

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.

#Democrats #Shutdown #Sellout 1933 #DejaMoo @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social #Betrayal #WeThePeople said #NoKings. We'll be getting loud in the voting booth.

After the victories we achieved in Maine on November 4th against Voter photo ID, saving Absentee Voting and passing a Red Flag law - Angus King sold us out. Just another old washed up Trump Appeaser.

D Senators behaving like sheep with shares in air travel and tourism.🤬

We can’t wait for these people to be up for reelection, they have to resign.

Wow, just in time for Black Friday. How about this time, you use your dollars to signal your dissatisfaction and join an economic boycott? With incapable leadership, it's one of the few things you've still got left.
