What in the absolute fuck is Republican governance. What are we doing.

When the President definitely respects Congress's constitutional war powers.

Drugs do crazy things

I don’t know who made this, but it’s spot on!!

Well the Dodgers union busting worked again. I don’t know if I can continue working for this team. And I love this team. But they have treated us abysmally. I’m so heartsick right now.

I’ve had my sad times and now I’m back in fight mode. We’re going to get our workers a fair wage. We’re going to get our staff security and make the workplace safer. We’re going to hold their feet to the fire because no one who works for a six billion dollar company should make minimum wage.

Minimum wage with no benefits. No security. No respect for player and staff safety. No more.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

House Republicans are going on vacation and letting your health care subsidies lapse.

One of the biggest mistakes Dems made in transition is in not having Jack Smith testify openly about Jan6 before Durbin lost his gavel.

Man sues Tennessee county after he was jailed over Charlie Kirk meme

All those words when he could’ve just said: fuck your health care and your grocery bills. Get a third job, peasant.

There’s a direct line from ‘just asking questions about women’s sports’ to criminalizing our health care, we warned you it was coming, you said it would be fine and you just had a few more questions.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia. It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

If Venezuela defaults on Rosneft's loans, Putin's state oil company could seize CITGO: 3 major US refineries in TX, LA, IL, plus pipelines across 24 states and thousands of gas stations. Russia would control critical US energy infrastructure. This was always the play.

The Warning: 2017: CBS News reported Rosneft filed a Delaware lien claiming 49.9% of CITGO as collateral for Venezuela loans. Experts warned default was probable. The obstacle? Obama-era sanctions and CFIUS review. Now Trump's in power and Venezuela's being pushed toward collapse. Coincidence?

Here's what's at stake: if Venezuela defaults on Putin's Rosneft loans, Russia seizes CITGO making them the largest foreign owner of US refining capacity. That's 3 refineries, 48 terminals, pipelines in 19 states. Putin gets leverage over American energy. By design.

Balint: "Even for Republican this is extreme. Are we really attempting to lock up parents and doctors? Your kids' medical care is none of their damn business. It's creepy. It's a creepy obsession."

Despite the Discharge Petition on the ACA subsidies vote, Speaker Johnson says he will not put it up for a vote until next year, beyond the deadline to sign up for ACA. That's intentional obstruction which will harm people. How many will not sign up in fear of astronomical premium increases?

McDonald’s USA — Employee: $15/hr, no benefits — Big Mac: $5.79 McDonald’s Denmark — Employee: $22/hr, 6 weeks vacation, 1 year paid maternity leave, life insurance, pension — Big Mac: $5.49 Tell us more about how raising the minimum wage would affect the cost of hamburgers.

This photo of @kim.senate.gov clearing trash in the Capitol rotunda after the Jan. 6 attack was, for many, the first 'introduction' to the senator from New Jersey. How fortunate we are to have elected officials like Andy Kim, who continue to protect our country and Constitution

He's lying. How do we know? Because they released the Sept 2nd video already!! Just not the part where they illegally killed the survivors. There's nothing "top secret" about the second strike if there wasn't anything top secret about the first one.

the woman sitting behind carr has some hilarious reactions to this

LUHAN: Is the FCC an independent agency? CARR: I think th--- L: Yes or no C: There's a test for this in the la--- L: It's yes or no, Brendan! On your website, it simply says, man, 'the FCC is independent.' This isn't a trick question C: The FCC is not L: So is your website lying? C: Possibly

Kimbal Musk has publicly admitted that he and his brother Elon were in the country illegally for years before applying for citizenship—so unless they admitted this on their immigration forms, they must be deported immediately. Every journalist should be buzzing about this.

"But if we can just get the votes we can..." They cheat. They bought Dominion so they own the vote counting machines. They are slanting election law in their favor. They will just cheat. Stop imagining the next election will be fair. It won't. They already cheated and will again. Cheaters cheat.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

I have long thought that if Dems stood up unapologetically & unequivocally for love, they would at least get some credit for principle, even if people disagree. At least they would appear to be people who know what they believe. This sweaty, weak split-the-baby shit pleases no one, impresses no one.

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

The rate of sea-level rise along U.S. coastlines has more than doubled over the past 125 years, according to a new analysis, contrasting the Trump administration's widely criticized assessment of climate science released this summer.

Is there any precedent in modern history for a mass shooting occurring in a public setting with 10+ casualties and the perpetrator not being apprehended? It's really hard to fathom.

Bushart’s suit said that Perry County Sheriff Nick Weems knew the meme was about an Iowa school but still “publicly claimed it might have caused ‘mass hysteria’ if interpreted as a prediction of what President Trump might say” Weems directed Bushart’s arrest www.ms.now/deadline-whi...

Extraordinary media malpractice at the Financial Times. Nowhere does the report explain that #fentanyl is *not* smuggled into the U.S. from #Venezuela -- and so Trump's justification for attacking that country is completely dishonest. @pabloreports.bsky.social @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

AOC: This president has absolutely tanked the economy... Video from: @pabloreports.bsky.social

McGovern: If by “concepts of a plan” you meant screwing millions of people over—including millions who voted Republican in the last election—I think you’ve accomplished your goal.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social: It is the responsibility of Congress to declare and authorize the use of military force. Congress has not authorized a military use of force. There has not been a case made, and I think the absence of one really speaks volumes.

[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela? AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

Campa-Najjar: Voters know whose fault it is because Trump can try to bullshit all he wants, but Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the presidency. So when government is failing people right now—and it is—they know who’s at fault. It’s Trump and his party and sycophants like Darrell Issa.

Kash says it’s unfair for people to criticize him for using the FBI jet to see his girlfriend because he only goes to about 15% of her music performances, and nobody criticized the former directors for going on vacations.

When he first announced this he said it would cost $250 million, but also claimed his projects always come in under budget so it will probably be less.

Inflation is so bad in Trump’s economy that the cost of his ballroom went from $200 million to $400 million in 6 months.

We don't need a ballroom...I don't want my legislators to dance. I want them to get to work.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

Since the end of the Cold War, democrats have created 50M jobs and republicans have created 1M.
