Help mom I’m being bullied by 87 year old novella writer Joyce Carol Oates again can you pick me up

Dealer: alright everyone ante up Chuck Schumer: I fold Dealer: … we haven’t even dealt the hand yet Chuck Schumer: I 👏 fold 👏

Absolutely correct

Democratic strategy: Hey! We just won a landslide, game-changing, nationwide victory! Let's do the opposite of everything we did to win that victory and remind everyone why they should never vote for us again!

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

@schumer.senate.gov Dems just had a massive win, partly BECAUSE you've held the line on things you KNOW Repubs won't deliver on a lick and a promise. Cave now & you're telling them they wasted their vote. And you'll show GOP all they have to do to get their way is tantrum as long as it takes.

There really is no bottom.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Perfectly put.

Hell yeah, that's my governor!

Thank god. Just remember, folks, this is the starting line, not the finish line. It's "Charge!", not "Mission accomplished." It's a mandate telling Dems to fight back, not to keep reverting to antiquated ideals of a civil discourse that no longer exists. Let's do this!

Or at least, not getting caught jacking off.

More of this, please!

How incredibly evil and without conscience do you have to be to do this? They will literally starve low income people, including children and seniors to get what they want.

Essentially it is this, yes.

Republicans: All those lazy people on SNAP/Medicaid need to get back to work.* Also Republicans: Let's fund the crap out of AI and brag about how many jobs it will eliminate. *Ignoring that SNAP recipients do work but don't earn living wages & Medicaid is *specifically* for those unable to work.

COUNT I Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall. COUNT II The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???

“Chicago is the future.“ @joseolivarez.bsky.social for @chicagomag.com

Exactly.

Welcome to another day of, "Does the House of Representatives ever intend to govern again? And if not, why are we paying them?"

If you're in Chicago and capture video of ICE engaged in illegal activity and/or assault...

As well as drive traffic to the author's site.

NO KINGS!! NO KINGS!! NO KINGS!! NO KINGS!! NO KINGS!!

Bluesky should take down any post by a Federal Agency that violates the Hatch Act and notify DOJ of the violation. Alternately, Bluesky should add a note to such posts pointing out the violation and then notify DOJ. Regardless of how, Bluesky should not allow this site to be used for propaganda!

I just tried to order $39 of Halloween trinkets on Etsy, and didn't realize the seller is located in another country until the shipping charges came in at $124. So, yeah, tariffs! Not making things more expensive at all!

What a 🤡🤡🤡 show!

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning. A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Jeff Bezos is a formaldehyde-preserved ghoul.

I’m sorry but the fact that this is not everywhere is kind of malpractice

🤔🥴😂

This from @govpritzker.illinois.gov on @cnn.com

I know that posting memes is just bringing a pencil to a knife fight (/s, cf: Ken Martin). But this was too funny and too spot on to pass up.

Brilliant.

Kavanaugh kidnapping.

No notes.

My mother called Speaker Johnson’s office this afternoon to talk about the shutdown and to tell them that her healthcare costs went up 125% as of this week — she was excited because a staffer answered; then they hung up on her.

When MAGA does "research".

Finally, some good news.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.
