you can't just bring back austin powers. the franchise wrote itself into a corner after he volunteered to stay behind forever in the shagadelic dimension to save foxxy and vanessa. they already brought him back once without explaining how he escaped from fembot island, the audience won't buy it

Yep, studios were broken by internet nitpickers and think normal audiences would not be perfectly happy to see Different Handsome Brit walk in and say “Bond, James Bond” whilst holding onto the delusion that a Kangaroo is a Martini.

We've paid Amelia Tyler, the narrator of Baldur's Gate 3, to voice pieces of the PC Gaming Show since 2023. If *we* can do it, a major game studio can definitely pay actors to say "I found some rusted tools" in ARC Raiders.

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

this is not "everyone is twelve" theory. this is the slightly rarer but typically much more consequential "no one knows what lawyers do" theory

china should be in charge of america

is that good

We’re watching Joyce Carol Oates slowly torture a Boer to death in real-time

That’s RIGHT Victor! Except use this link instead act.dsausa.org/s/2784.PebCRO

“Eat shit forever, and if you want us to stop feeding you shit, you’re just dividing us”

a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

buddy you ARE the corrupt and malevolent foe lmao

the foe is the people who threw away our health insurance jackass

It’s not going to happen but it would be funny if Rand Paul managed to hold up the budget deal long enough for the cave to reverse lol

you had a victory last tuesday and now instead of building off that momentum you’re cutting it off at the knees instead

This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.

Anything short of calling for Schumer to be replaced is performative outrage designed to mollify you

That’s $53,792,403 that could have gone to feed families who had their SNAP benefits cut by Trump. $53,792,403 that could have helped rent-burdened tenants. Almost the same amount that it would take to fund Zohran’s proposal for five city-owned grocery stores.

and we're gonna beat em again and again

Trump crash plane

anyway if you want to get this cadaverous old man out of office and replace with someone who will fight for actual working people join DSA! act.dsausa.org/s/2784.PebCRO

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.

The “Syncretic Vader“ hypothesis explains why various documents purporting to depict the ”individual” inside the armor vary so widely in physical characteristics

CALL TO ACTION - if you live in Los Angeles & especially if you rent, there is a CRITICAL vote on Wednesday to strengthen our Rent Stabilization Ordinance (LARSO)! We need folks to make phone calls, email council members, and mobilize at City Hall Wednesday AM. Find out more here: bit.ly/captherent

Bizarre that there are people who actually feel compelled to defend Schumer in particular

oh my god

i think it’s brave, actually, for Senator King to come out and state explicitly the animating belief behind centrist politicians in the Trump eta

“they’re gonna work with us when we reopen the gov guys”

i can’t quite explain it but “standing up as opposition doesn’t work” doesn’t seem like good optics for an opposition party to have

that’s a dumb thing to think tbh!

And you can do all this and more through the power of joining the democratic socialists of America act.dsausa.org/s/2784.PebCRO

Stefany Shaheen, running for Congress in NH01, opposes the Senate deal her mother Jeanne negotiated to end the shutdown, saying it doesn’t resolve the ACA cliff: “Too many people will see health care costs that are already too high skyrocket even further starting in January.”

Schumer should honestly be tarred and feathered and dragged through the streets

This is correct.

now trump gets to be like “we don’t know what the shutdown was about, democrats just held the country hostage for 2 months for no reason” and he would be sort of correct

reading the new Pynchon novel next to my boyfriend who’s compiling organizing spreadsheets… this is all I’ve ever wanted honestly god bless

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

So true, Shaheen of 2 days ago

I know this sounds mean but if you think that this is a coincidence you're more than a bit of a mark. If Kaine had been up next year, it would have been Warner, if Slotkin was retiring, Peters, etc.

The Democratic politician is the only mammal which is also an invertebrate

Shout out to the spineless fucks out there trying their hardest to double my health insurance costs.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

There really should be a coordinated effort to force Schumer out as Minority Leader as a result of his failure here.

She’s now quote posting AOC. Really any Dem that challenges leadership will have 100,000 moms as the vanguard

"Dems cannot successfully cave because John Cornyn got trapped in a broom closet" would be easily the funniest way for tonight to end

hahahaha go fuck yourself

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

so, schumer has been shepherding this deal every step of the way but even if you take him at face value idk if anyone should be reassured by the concept of a senate minority leader who cannot control his own party to stop what he believes to be a catastrophic capitulation

well cause they see republicans as one of them instead of mamdani
