If you're a Democrat and you confirm someone who refuses to unequivocally say "Joe Biden won the 2020 election," you should lose your job.

However appalled you are by this, it’s not enough. It’s a frank statement that Trump and Trumpists are above the law and need not even plausible excuses to loot your tax dollars. It’s a total failure of our civic institutions.

Steyer flubbed this one. As soon as she said “I run WIRED” he should have responded “so you’re management?” and immediately ended the interview to show solidarity with the working class

this honestly sounds like an excited six-year-old showing off his crayon drawing of the cool new building he just thought up "it has triangles!" "drones bounce off it, but they also launch from it!" "the soldier men can stand on the roof and protect us all!"

A “fun” thing about the 1776 number is it makes it more clear how much the settlement agreement is corrupt. Todd Blanche signed his name to an official government document claiming this figure was “based on the projected valuation of future claimants’ claims,” which is clearly, obviously, a lie.

It's the TAKE OUT THE TRASH cycle. We may not get this opportunity again. Put these fucks out of work, do everything in your power to ship their asses.

Every Democrat needs to hit a microphone right now to say this is gross corruption, we're paying attention to who gets paid off here and we'll do everything we can to claw it back.

Democrats should be saying anybody who takes this stolen money will see the government coming after them to claw it back.

the Democrats should announce that they will prosecute anyone who accepts a single fucking dime Trump stole

The odds are better than normal that whoever's on the ballot as the Democrat in your district this November will win. So it's important this primary season to make sure that whoever that person is, they're committed to an aggressive agenda of reform and accountability once they take office.

Our entire government is comprised of the people who used to leave me Jack Chick tracts instead of a tip.

It is remarkable how many establishment Dems simply do not understand they are in the middle of an existential war against MAGA politics, and that there’s no co-existence possible here.

Trump’s second term is all about being fairly blamed for things that Presidents are usually unfairly blamed for.

The Internet is disappearing before our very eyes and it’s why we should all support that absolutely critical work of @archive.org

sorry, man, if a politician talks to you like this in your role as a journalist, and you do nothing but sit and grin at it in response, what, exactly, do you think the public should think of you. why should anyone else care what trump says about you when you don’t appear to be bothered by it

This is what happens when there's historically low trust in the Presidents of the United States of America

sufficiently large polygons are the domain of lovecraftian horror

I hate that “vote harder” is now all we’re left with

Joe Biden was old and not as sharp as he should be, and the New York Times wrote story after story about it. Trump is old and out of his damn mind, and the NY Times steps carefully around the issue. Why? 1/2🧵

The definitive millennial song is clearly legend_of_zelda_System_of_a_down(1).mp3

I’ll vote for whichever 2028 candidate promises reconstruction 2.0 at this point

like I genuinely do not care about whether you support Medicare for all vs. a public option. all I care about is are you willing to get your hands dirty to crush the MAGA cult via every possible legal avenue from DC/PR statehood to Supreme Court reform to mass prosecutions/ignoring any trump pardons

What did people think he meant when he said Republicans just had to elect him this one time and then they would fix it so no one had to vote anymore? Like what other explanation was there?

"the voters will have their say in the election" is an uninspiring and demoralizing response to a court overturning the result of an election

the reason democracy works so well is that we settle issues via the ballot box. once that avenue dries up because one party wants to entrench themselves in power forever, people start looking for alternatives

See the left of the graph, when monthly job creation was high? A terrible economy that should be described negatively. And on the right side, where the line has sloped down, and even a relatively high month is lower than the average under Biden? That’s good, and merits positive words like “solid.”

The problem—which both the GOP and the milquetoast institutionalists seem to not be grappling with here—is that the more you close off avenues of political change through the democratic process, the more you push people to see extra-institutional mechanisms as their only option

"Avoid the Noid!"

“Hey good lookin’! We’ll be back to pick you up later!”

wasn’t particularly worried before. now… i’m a little worried!

NEW: Marco Rubio asked Pope Leo XIV what he could give a man who had everything. If he had listened to what the first U.S.-born pontiff had said the past two months, the answer was clear: peace. Instead, he brought him a mini crystal football.

This is going to be met with a bunch of "that will never hold up in court" responses. Ok. So do it anyway. Force this administration to make its preposterous masking arguments in front of federal judges. Make them defend secret police on the record. Go on the offensive.

what's great about this photo is it captures a truism of life in 2026: everything's very expensive and deeply concerning with no real path toward it getting better but also the memes are usually pretty good

a little too real from a bucs account on x (link in alt text)

As recently as October of last year the NYT was still writing stories about Hunter Biden business deals that occurred when Joe Biden wasn't even in office. Donald Trump as president is openly directly profiting from the presidency and major news media doesn't care.

By far the most corrupt president in history and the media has decided it isn't a story.

Susan Collins is a member of the fascist party and votes for the fascist party's judges and appointees and legislative priorities and what the fuck are we doing here.

Unlike a lot of people I actually believed in Vote Blue No Matter Who without a “Not Like This” exception. Platner sucks and I’m worried about what he’ll be like in office but Collins is much worse full stop. End of story.

Sorry this has nothing to do with anything but I just saw a form of potatoes I’ve never seen before and wanted to show you. www.instagram.com/reel/DXr5u7R...

a cool thing about not living in maine is that i don't have to have an opinion about their senate general election beyond understanding that any democrat is better than every republican, which makes choices simple, which is not the same as making choices easy.

86 47 you ludicrous stooge

[wokely] "it's actually preferable for Republicans to control the senate and continue to enact Donald Trump's agenda. I am very smart."

I am not sure there is a single thing the constantly-fighting liberals and leftists on this site agree on more than the fact that Schumer sucks and needs to go

Honestly think that way too many people view politics as an abstract exercise in publicly declaring your values, rather than an activity that has real world, concrete consequences that affect peoples' lives.

i have serious misgivings about Graham Platner but I hope he wins and conducts his office in a way that makes me feel that I was wrong to doubt. I would vote for him if I lived in Maine despite my misgivings because we know exactly who Collins is and she's bad.
