over the years, Collins notably refused to engage in state ballot referenda, like on marriage twice To paraphrase what Zohran Mamdani said of Trump, Susan Collins, one of the people in Maine with the most power, is now expending her energy targeting those with the least Craven is too kind

There is no greater need on the center-left and in the center than unity against AI (or crypto) bailouts. If Trump does it, he has to do it alone with his oligarch pals, no Democratic support ala Pelosi/Obama in 2008 or Biden & Larry Summers in 2023 (SVB).

If Democrats were deliberately trying to set up a situation where 2 Republicans advanced to the general election for governor, they couldn't do it any better than the current situation.

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

and yet the intensity of reporting around trump and affordability has not reached 1/10000th the intensity it had under biden. the msm is not emphasizing this issue and its because theyre trying to help trump and the gop.

They are moving K-12 and higher education to the Labor Department. It really tells you what their priority is, doesn't it?

Climate change is causing increasing blooms of toxin-producing algae, and it’s causing dementia in dolphins. There’s evidence that human exposure to these algae blooms - you can even breathe in the toxins from nearby land - is causing similar brain damage in addition to other harmful health effects.

It's a revealing moment... J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost. The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

Basically saying "if you do crime for me, I won't only pardon you--I'll give you millions of dollars of public money." Truly unprecedented level of corruption www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Everyone does know what's going on here, right? Should the Epstein evidence bill pass both the House and Senate, these criminals will say it can't be released because there is an active investigation. Never mind that a thorough investigation was completed, and the DOJ was prepared to try Epstein.

1. Scandal politics win elections pretty often. 2. THIS scandal divides the GOP more than affordability or really anything. 3. If Dems want to win the fight (pry the files loose, rather than give up after Trump says no) they need to make a referendum out of it. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

fuck this stupid ass newspaper

True comedy is watching Dave Portnay trying to use a hammer

nothing to see here, just Donald Trump's top henchmen summoning members of congress to a secure room where they can't be record that is sometimes used for ordering people killed in order to persuade them not to release the Epstein files

IN 2010, ten (10) SENATE DEMS voted against the DREAM ACT Now Dreamers and #DACA recipients are being hunted by ICE In 2025, eight (8) SENATE DEMS voted to reopen the government w/o securing ACA assurances What will happen to the #healthcare of medically complex children, veterans, families?

Well that doesn't seem suspicious at all! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

THE GOOD THINGS CAN HAPPEN CAUCUS IS BACK, MOTHERFUCKERS

“Some are simply waiting to see if a critical mass of Democratic legislators calling for Schumer to step down emerges, and only then would they feel comfortable joining in.” Lmaooo - look at these profiles of courage. open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

The Trump administration’s greatest atrocity www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/11/the-...

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

Angus King is 81 years old and has another 5 years to go in his current term. If he can't stand up to Donald Trump he needs to step aside and just retire now.

Every federal worker who has been clocking in without pay, every protestor who showed up for No Kings, every voter who turned out for Dems Tuesday, every community member confronting SS ICE in our streets - all of us braver & better than these "leaders."

Angus King is a lying liar. #MEPolitics #MESenate

Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Carefully choreographed votes and angry press releases are all cute, but the indication of whether anyone in the caucus really cares is whether there’s any push for leadership changes or punitive action against the cavers. There won’t be, but that would be the theoretical sign this is different

The only Dem senators voting to cave on the shutdown fight are either retiring or not up for reelection this cycle. Might be Dems' most beautifully synchronized cave yet

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

If these soulless cowards were going to cave so easily there was no reason to put millions though food stamp cuts nightmare. This is all so behind grotesque.

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business. -if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her. -if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet. -instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

In case anyone wonders why it was Justice Jackson who made this temporary, administrative ruling, each of the Justices is responsible for the first take on emergency requests from at least one of the 13 courts of appeals. She has the 1st (MA, ME, NH, PR, RI.) www.supremecourt.gov/about/circui...

When the president gets ordered, multiple times, to pay out federal food benefits as the law requires:

Fighting relentlessly to starve children. Ladies & Gentlemen, this is the GOP.

It is extremely hard and brave to be a woman who wants to take away other people’s rights, including women’s, and for that I am feminist

idk if schumer made the offer expecting it to be rejected but i am once again concerned that the lack of prioritizing defending the people from ICE signals intent to “moderate” on the american gestapo if dems ever get power again.

Starting today, Trump's FAA is cutting 10% of air traffic from the busiest airports across the country. They could cut private plane travel instead, but that would impact Trump's friends and donors.

Throwing away all your political capital after a historic off year election for a 1 year continuation of ACA funding is absolutely pathetic.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

lol

This is just as important of a victory as any that we saw last night. Golden has been systematically undermining Democrats for years, in ways that boost MAGA. His departure is excellent news for Dems’ ability to resist MAGA and to implement their agenda when they retake power.

If I were running in next year's midterms, I'd be saying: Aussies are getting free electricity, and we're getting huge price spikes. Because they built solar, and Trump is blocking it. open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

Flabberghasting that Trump knows that the shutdown is really bad for Republicans but Senators Shaheen, Cortez-Masto, Kelly, and a handful of others are desperate to bail him out in exchange for absolutely nothing

Is a 62 point lead a lot? because I’m concerned that massive wins of this sort will cause Democrats to learn the wrong lesson that standing up for principles and people and getting votes is more politically successful than spending 50 years trying to make a family of imaginary bigots like you.

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

Who’s tracking the best crash out’s? I know one of you are making a thread

This is why Chuck has NO REASON to come back to the table. Let them twist. If you're coming back with wins this big during a shutdown, the people know where their bread is buttered. Don't throw them a lifeline. These aren't tiny margin wins. They're blowouts.
