My “the President does not want to execute members of Congress” statement has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my statement.

Truly do they not teach about turn signals in this state

Trying to get disqualified from jury service today by telling the judge the only hop I’ll accept in a beer is Simcoe Possibly he puts me in jail but it’s a high-risk high-reward play

DC absolutely needs statehood so that the people who live there aren't ruled by goons they never elected. A genuine ongoing scandal and absolute betrayal of the principles of the country.

and the buses, he tells me, the buses are so slow. too many cars. fares take too long. stop and go, stop, stop, stop, go, stop, go, stop, go, go, stop—no more. fast buses. fast and free

The fact that Taylor Ward doesn't look like a luxury for the Orioles is a pretty big indictment of how the past 2-3 years have worked out for them. They hugged all those corner-only prospects only to end up needing to trade for a 32-year-old Taylor Ward? Big yikes!

More convinced every day that a winning 2028 platform is the mass revocation of driver’s licenses in Maryland

Yeah, everyone knows Saudi Arabia and MBS in particular are deeply committed to “Western values.”

Good read here

I really enjoyed this @dcbeer.com post from @jacobsberg.bsky.social. Insightful and informative about how things are going in #dcbrews land. Tough out here but there is a way through I hope.

i don't think it's a coicidence that a lot of the worst actors in this administration are under 40. more experienced/capable people would simply not be putting themselves in these kinds of damning and reputation destroying situations.

If you are the kind of person who cares about journalism, you should be alarmed at how quickly the elite world of journalism is lining up to rehabilitate this person who flagrantly failed the most based standards of ethics in the field.

Wait uh if you watch through to the end of the clip THEY TRIED TO BUY TACOS FROM A SHOP WHERE THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY KIDNAPPED A WORKER, WHO IS STILL DETAINED

Pretty complete summary of how we got into this mess.

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

Trump isn't a king but he does seem to have lost the favor of the clerics.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

Whoaaaaaaaaa

This should be a 2026 and 2028 message. We don’t talk about the revenue side of the ledger nearly enough in this country. They can bear it. Bearing it is a civic virtue.

The fact that not a single member of the Senate Dem caucus has called for Schumer to be replaced shows you how deep the rot is. This includes Sanders and Warren.

this is so silly. people know the deal with bond. the writers should just embrace the metatextual aspects of the franchise

Wouldn’t mind a reunion with the Nats here on a show-me contract.

Oh poker

You know senate dems shit the bed when most of bluesky is agreeing with ezra and matty.

when you've lost Ezra Klein ... Team Fold/Senate cave caucus - how embarrassing. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/o...

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

Resign.

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

It was totally working. They were going to have to blow up the damned filibuster.

Thoughts on Dems throwing a game they were winning. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...

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.

This has been the story of the entire nation for the past 10 months: ♦️The people have stood up: Stood up to ICE, stood up at No Kings rallies, stood up in the voting booth. ♦️The institutions-- the Supreme Court, media companies, Big Law, universities, Dem leadership-- have caved again and again.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

Imagine possessing both the arrogance and incompetence of Dick Durbin. We understand how the Senate works, dude. That's the fucking problem.

I get lots of pushback from normies in Virginia, and especially here in Richmond, who insist @kaine.senate.gov actually has a spine and isn’t just a functional Republican like @markwarner.bsky.social. Anyway

I can’t imagine how furious the people who patiently suffered through this shutdown must be—hoping the Democrats would actually save these health care subsidies.

Jesus Christ, @kaine.senate.gov, getting a pinky promise to hold one single vote on ACA funding is not "a path toward fixing the health care mess" anymore than a lottery ticket is a "path toward fixing my personal finances"

Institutional politicians prove over and over they are not up to politics in 2025. They live in a reality that disappeared years ago, before social media.

I truly don’t know how you look at the past week and THEN decide THIS is an appropriate — let alone the right — response.
