The chair of the Maine Democratic Party said on @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social last night that each day that passes where Platner doesn't drop out makes it harder for them to execute a good and fair plan to replace him. What a fucking asshole.

transform your ass out of the senate race please and thank you

Massachusetts is about as pure of a distillation of America as you can get. It's where the country started, it's filled with precious national history, it's a paragon of education and civic engagement, it's filled with the loudest and most irritating people alive.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

I SURE HOPE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN

Weird how this never applies to the Second Amendment.

Jefferies and Schumer making it very clear that they are very much not up to the challenge, as they view the birthright citizenship ruling as a big win rather than an ominous warning of the future

Republicans: we want to kill millions of African children, turn the presidency into a monarchy, and salt the earth with the tears of migrant children. Democrats: hey, let's make sure tweens can't access Instagram.

Humphrey's Executor is dead and the president can fire anyone in the executive branch at will but NOT Federal Reserve governors is really a parody of the difference between the money power and everything else in America

what if they fought back against republicans instead

I’m *SO* much more productive when I’m sitting on Zoom calls from a conference room downtown than from my home office.

youre not going to believe this but the dumb assholes we put in charge have fucked everything up

Please god let this close the portal to Hell the Cubs opened in 2016

Ten million pounds of sludge from New York and New Jersey (Stadium)

Musk buying twitter, Bezos buying WaPo, Ellison buying CBS—all are less profitable now. But they’re political investments that increase the value of the new owners’ portfolios Wealth concentration makes this possible, and that’s one mechanism by which inequality destroys democracy

30th–35th Street and 5th–8th Avenue. This is going to be the shit show to end all shit shows.

many people who would have lived longer will die because of this. he’s one of the most destructive people on the planet.

Congratulations to everyone who said it would get this bad. Your prize is watching everyone who disagreed now claim no one could have predicted it would get this bad.

Having a billionaire heiress run one of the largest urban police forces is one of those things that maybe all too obviously gestures at the way our kleptocracy squanders public funds on a violent, militarized police force at the expense of welfare to reinforce class hierarchies

“We try to avoid using the B Word.”

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

This is good news, but man, a hundred! million! dollars???

when u tax the rich

people who haven't lived in a corrupt state or mafia society think it means that everyone breaks the rules means the rules don't exist, when the reality is that everyone breaks the rules and it gives the corrupt authorities total discretion about who to punish and when.

The nominal strategic purpose of the U.S. Navy is to ensure global freedom of navigation to guarantee stable global trade. It has not only not done that, the United States instigated the conflict which undid it. This is known in foreign policy analysis as a “whoopsie doodles.”

the thing dem pols need to internalize is this guy and his entire family will vote republican for the rest of their lives, regardless of the republican party literally ending their livelihood

Congratulations, Brad, your guy won!

New Friday PR on the #nytxw. Just nice smooth sailing straight through.

The purpose of "good government" policies is to promote democracy. Now, when the Reconstruction Amendments are being perverted by a GOP packed Supreme Court to give license to racism in legislative districting, the good government move is for Democrats to counter-gerrymander, aggressively, and fast

you just can't be the party of Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and Pete Hegseth and get away with this weepy nonsense. first cast out the beam out of thine own eye bitch

Yes. The pseudoscience never stays in a box, medieval peasant brain is never contained. You can’t let this shit in the tent. We did the ‘well they’re not like *right*, but the people they’re angry at *are* bad, so what’s *really* the harm…” with woo-woo shit and it contributed to HHS Sec. RFK Jr.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time. This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

The AI bubble is like the dotcom bubble: It’s not that the Internet was some useless passing fad; it’s that a lot of money got poured into absolute horseshit before people started figuring out where the actual value was.

Did you know: There's HD video of Here Comes The Pizza?

Just read it and decide for yourself. I think it is spot on, 💯. It is not dominance. It is a man burning down his own house and whooping at the flames. The saddest part is not that America is losing its allies. The saddest part is that half the country thinks that is the point.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We have entered the “you can’t kill me if I commit suicide” phase of American Decline

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

Are we still doing “I Did That!” stickers?

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

one thing that I think we need to realize is that not all political persuasion needs to be in the "convince a person to vote for a candidate" form — finding ways to demoralize and de-energize your opposition who would never vote for you is very valuable too
