chuck's gotta go, man just can't even pretend to meet the moment we're in, you cannot be out there talking about bipartisan funding for the health care system when the VP is threatening your constituents with loss of employment and freedom for speaking their minds in public

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Democratic state legislators in California are reportedly on board with Gov. Newsom’s proposal for a November ballot initiative that would enable them to counteract Republican plans to gerrymander congressional maps in Texas and other states

“A consumer rights expert has explained what you can do if your hotel on a foreign holiday refuses to serve you a full English breakfast.” Surely this is satire making fun of the English, right Right

Lol. Someone made a website that churns out fake NYT headlines about Zohran Mamdani mamdanitimes.com

Turning into a single issue voter for 2028, where the issue is which Democratic candidate will vow to nominate the most rabidly partisan, vengeful and hate-filled AG you can possibly imagine

if John Fetterman thinks that his job is too difficult he is more than welcome to resign and let a Democrat who actually wants to do the job take his place

Well well well, If it isn’t the consequences of my own actions

This is what it was like being online when Trump got covid

What, I should spoil my dinner on pasta night?

The only reason anyone would cut the Narcan program, a mere $56 million annually, is because they want people to die as punishment.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

"senate minority leader"

the death cult that controls the federal government is coming for everyone

Jesus fucking christ.

McConnell abused the filibuster to make America worse. Schumer is refusing to use the filibuster to... accomplish what, exactly?

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill. People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games. They know exactly what is going on. Defend Medicaid. Vote NO on Cloture. NO on bill.

He’s in a totally safe district, it’s a waste of money. If you want to donate to the race that will make the biggest impact, give to Judge Susan Crawford who is running against a Musk-based candidate for control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court www.crawfordforwi.com

Everyone in the Trump coalition voted for someone to get got. Most of them didn’t realize that they were that someone to someone else.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

this man is 42 years old

a maximalist strategy of opposition against every nominee as unqualified would have stood a better chance of creating the kind of public outrage that might have led to more republican defections, but i'm sure the imaginary family that chuck schumer relies on to guide his decisions disagreed

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

what the FUCK

Four justices don’t believe the rule of law applies to Donald Trump at all.

This Fox segment on the search for the shooter is incredible. Look at how the NYPD searches Central Park lol

Yep. Biden, wanting to Uphold the Norms, agreed to keep on a Trump-appointed prosecutor who was probing his son. Created a special counsel to probe his own post-VP document retention. Kept on Durham so he could finish a Trump-ordered probe of 2016. What did he get? Nothing. So here he goes.

I saw someone describe maga as “a pride movement for assholes” and I really think that’s a big piece of it

The Cybertruck is the one vehicle in all of existance where you know with 100% certainty that every single owner is a tool. An asshole. They are guaranteed to be the worst person in your neighborhood. Someone to laugh at derisively and know you are valid in your judgement.
