They had their opportunity to shake up the party/leadership on their own terms. They didn’t do that. Now it’s being done for them. It’s inverting the relationship they think they have with their base, which is confusing so many of them.

This is rape.

We're going to have to teach the billionaires how to pilot a yacht but I trust they're quick learners

We are going to financially cripple untold millions of people so that six guys can have more money than God. It doesn't have to be this way.

One thing about the United States is that our population is in a constant battle of More Racist vs More Stupid and it's usually impossible to tell which side is winning.

But for two inches in the other direction...

The last Ohio college or university to beat Ohio State at football. Go Yeo.

There is a very strong case that TLJ is the best Star Ware movie, and if you grade against the constraints it operates under it’s not even an argument.

Honestly at least once every few months.

What are quotation marks even really

The people hate Donald Trump so obviously the correct strategy is to not signal that hatred and instead politely applaud him when he says the economy is strong.

It’s very cute when justices talk about the major questions doctrine like it’s a real thing and not just some bullshit they made up, the imaginary friend of legal analysis.

We’re going to win.

It remains bewildering that Bill Kristol is a better Democrat than the Senate Minority Leader

He broke his arm two weeks ago and then went out and nearly medaled. What a story.

Yes. Yes! Thank you

Bars

This is one of the most brutal/cringe interviews he’s done www.newyorker.com/culture/q-an...

Can’t call a lie and lie because that requires speculating what’s in one’s head, apparently less knowable than the future, about which it is fine to speculate.

If our taxpayer funded gestapo are going to assault and murder our citizenry, you better believe there will be real accountability. Vote blue.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Our Democratic elected officials are not rising to this moment so most of them must go. Any elected official who isn’t willing to organize a Project 2029 around punishing everyone in the Trump administration in order to save democracy must go.

One court decision, two different headlines. Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

Danish parliamentarian fresh on the scene doing better retail politics than any American Democrat

This is why journalists voted for him

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

Halt and Catch Fire is in the running. So is The Leftovers.

The best child acting ensemble I’ve ever seen.

"You mutter 'What fresh hell is this?' every ten minutes."

Goddamn.

Browns fans right now

It’s like their lead is Bill Clinton and South Carolina is Donald Trump

This somebody is obviously Trump and let me just say: I trust the pedophile’s insight on who is and is not a pedophile.

Larry Summers defending Donald Trump to the world's most infamous pedophile and the world's most infamous pedophile pushing back to say no, Larry, Trump is the worst person I know.

Because he helped get them laid

I know it looks bad but just wait until the exonerating documents come out.

This isn’t what the word “allege’ means. The email doesn’t allege.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

This is the ripple effect of the annoying pedantry that’s taken hold within pop culture over the last decade or so. Dumb as hell.

Went from, on Tuesday, feeling better about the world than I had since last November to, today, feeling worse about the world than I have since last November.

Among other issues, this just sows distrust in elected representatives. Upwards of 16 Dem senators are casting a vote that’s against how they want to vote. How can you expect people to trust you when you do that? How can you ask for their support?

A vote that won’t result in ACA subsidies but will result in vulnerable GOP senators being able to vote yes — a gift to Republicans. The politics of this are horrendous.

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

*history

Any Democrat voting for this should be primaried as quickly as possible because they're stupid, aren't capable of recognizing they're winning, are incapable of representing their constituents, and are cowards not up to this era's challenges.

The worst minority leader in my lifetime

There is nothing Republicans can offer that should compel Democrats to end the shutdown. Make them end the filibuster.

It’ll be interesting to see if he keeps making videos while mayor. He should.

Well when you put it that way...
