You know that #911Nashville is fake because the bean counter is sad.

Let’s be clear: the hold-up isn’t on our side. This was his campaign promise—so he needs to go ahead and fulfill it. Release the files. All of them.

Okay, so, we’re all going to have to agree that it’s wrong to have sex with children. Like, if you don’t agree with me inside your own head, you should keep that inside until you tell a therapist. Also, people who defend pedophiles can not be trusted with your children. At all. AT ALL. EVERRRRRRRRR.

German court finds Open AI infringed copyright by using song lyrics for LLM training. (This news via @publisherslunch.bsky.social , which notes that this is the first court case to end in an infringement ruling against Open AI) www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Ironically you can see this very dynamic in the Epstein emails themselves, where the power elite all email each other absurd rumors and semi-literate political scuttlebutt and theorizing. The boys’ club exposed in those messages is the same one that controls the brains of the top Times editors.

I, personally, would like to see dramatic consequences for senior leadership’s reprehensible and vicious crusade against trans people, so I will take what I can get but fundamentally they have a deep disdain for their main consumer base of normie libs and that base has finally taken notice

multiple offline resist libs I know have moved away from or even canceled the paper out of frustration - people are desperate for some sort of institutional counterweight to Trump and the Times has very obviously fallen short games and recipes are holding it together

something I find very telling is the attitude among normie dems these days in Trump 1.0, the Times was the center of the “resistance” - often fueling with the Post for what felt like daily scoops in Trump 2.0, the paper’s disinterest in actual adversarial reporting is noticeable and people are mad

Not excusing the NYT's political coverage, but this person makes an important point. The reason legacy media falls all over itself to cover BS like Benghazi, Hunter Biden's laptop, Hilary's server, etc. is because the entire GOP and their media apparatus takes official actions to make them a story.

it’s worth crediting Joe Biden — yes, that one, the senile one with dementia — how he didn’t succumb to this dynamic when it was clearly Republicans’ plan during a debt-limit crisis.

The reason why Trump and Republicans are so gung-ho about cutting SNAP (and Medicaid, etc.) is because starvation is a tools to get poor Americans to take the jobs left empty by the deportation of immigrants

The BU student who complained that prized "American jobs" at a car wash were being given away to immigrants is himself British. I wonder if he has any opinions on whether prized spots at American universities should or should not be given away to immigrants?

It shouldn’t take 50 years to buy a house. We should not normalize that.

The White House published a partial list last month of private contributors who donated to President Donald Trump's $300 million ballroom, which he claimed would be financed "100% by me and some friends of mine."

just a reminder this guy slashed the tires on his much younger female coworkers tires to trick her into getting in his car he was married at the time

I wrote about how Trump is hurting efforts to study climate interventions like carbon removal for @rollingstone.com

The dog ate my jobless and inflation homework!

I am excited to meet with my fellow Democratic Lieutenant Governors from across the nation today in Washington, D.C. Together, we are working to find solutions to the problems created by Donald Trump and his Republican Congress.

Trump and Ric Grenell really will do all they can to destroy the Kennedy Center. They won’t succeed, but they very well might hollow it out for the time he’s in office and for some time thereafter. It’s truly horrible.

This is a BIG reason I wrote Burn It Down. I was v tired of doing One Bad Man stories & wanted to shout from the rooftops that every He's Just One Bad Man is NOT a one-off--each 1 is propped up by multiple interlocking systems of enabling, protection & even celebration. The SYSTEMS are def evergreen

Trump's judicial blitz continues - now with more secrecy!

don’t say it raises questions, don’t act speculative and nuanced about it. speak about anything that happens as though everybody already knows and agrees that the Trump administration is the most corrupt in US history and any new development is just a confirmation.

If you know anyone who is still a staunch Trump supporter, even after all this, I would keep them away from any kids this Thanksgiving.

About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

I accidentally set my toaster on fire at 2am last night and honestly that feels like the vibe this week is going for.

Congrats to the absolute dumbest DNC ever. Y'all couldn't fight your way out of a paper bag. Out with the old, in with the new. Stop ceding ground to old fucks.

He wants to starve you and your family, deny you healthcare, and intimidate your kids with jackbooted thugs while he builds a ballroom for himself and his pals, runs multibillion-dollar crypto scams, throws grotesque Great Gatsby-themed balls in Florida, and redecorates a House you pay for like this

Can we skip to the part where the Juggalo posse marches on Washington and retakes America?

Called my both of my US Senators to express my opinion that they should demand Schumer and Durbin step down from their leadership positions immediately. You can do the same by dialing the US Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. An operator will connect you directly with your Senator's office.

You know what affects these Nazis and their "President" a God Damn strike. That MFer showed us that today when he started abusing the Air Traffic Controllers. He believes we are his slaves and he owns us. We aren't going to get out of this unless we stop making them money. STRIKE.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

We could end this by uniting and just stopping all healthcare payments. But we won't because this place is hell.

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.

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are. We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Whenever some sanctimonious Dem announces that America needs a functioning Republican Party, I always think “I’d settle for a functioning Democratic Party.”

Sorry to this man, but when you are actually in a real battle against a corrupt and malevolent foe, you do anything you can to stop them. None of them believe that this administration and the Republican party are all that bad. If they believed it, they would have left the wrench in the gears.

Of all the things to be offended by...🙄

Why am I saying this Last Tuesday was so invigorating, so MANY YOUNG PEOPLE showed up, worked hard & DEMOCRATS WON AND not only young people, so many others but NOW DISENFRANCHISED LeaderJeffries kept the House Democrats United I CANNOT SAY THAT ABOUT SCHUMER WE NEED NEW LEADERSHIP NOW

Oh wow. Who could've ever seen this coming? "Speaker Johnson won't guarantee vote in House on ACA subsidies" abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov! Americans gave you a clear assignment last Tuesday, and you didn’t understand it. Now, we are giving you another one: Step down and allow a Democrat with a spine to unite your caucus for the good of all Americans. Remember what you told Biden? Now, tell it to yourself.

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.

🔥

How does your pathetic "plan" keep me alive through 2026? How does it pay the premium increase I face? How fucking dare you come on here with this bullshit.

As Democrats, we didn’t even have one week to enjoy the success of last Tuesday and now this shit.

Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.
