Collins is probably as decent a human being as you will find among congressional Republicans. And that decency didn’t stop her from abetting Trump or his agenda. I wish we had a better nominee in Maine, but I’ll take the worst D over the best R for the foreseeable future.

Nowhere is this more true in my experience than the Northern Virginia suburbs! Formerly a pretty lily-white community, now among the most diverse communities you'll encounter. The desegregation may not be happening in urban cores but it is certainly happening in suburbia and it's part of MAGA panic.

Platner is a closetful of shoes waiting to drop and an object example of what happens when our leftmost voters go looking for a real Working Man to fall in love with instead of some stupid establishment Dem. With that said, it's still Blue No Matter Who if his opponent is Susan Collins.

Oh my God Becky, look at her bonds

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

In re: the Louise Lucas Affair They're continuing to build the case for us, concerning the necessity of going sicko mode when the shoe is finally back on the other foot Every single elected Democrat and public intellectual counseling moderation in the face of this needs to be shouted down

Everyone knows the way you change the Constitution is to have six people in robes make up a new Constitution as they go along.

The responses give me hope for a better America.

I’ve seen enough. God is 1) real 2) nonbinary 3) primarily motivated by a deep hatred of JD Vance

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

And that's mostly just a tribute to his media team, which is genuinely good and deserves a job with whoever ends up being the nominee.

using graduation of US Marines as an opportunity to harvest some of their relatives for deportation

Oh. Stage an assassination attempt, you say? Interesting.

I apologize to every citizen of every ally who looks at this and asks what the hell NATO means now. I wish I knew too. We will be poorer and less safe going forward, no matter what comes next. And we will deserve it.

I hate to ask for more help but I am terrified about Luther and if anyone wants to donate to his care I started a gofundme. Please don’t feel obligated to help, I know everyone is struggling. gofund.me/4dfe27f77

Senate Democrats should offer an amendment to the SAVE Act requiring the same registration and identification requirements for voting as for buying beer and guns

They say in times like these, you have to pick a lane or three in the fight against fascism or risk being overwhelmed. One lane I picked was supporting indy and regional media and one outlet I chose was TPM. It's something I can do and it's important.

@andybeshearky.bsky.social, if this notion is going to work for you and the country, then why didn't it work for Joe Biden five years ago? Why are we here now?

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

Americans bewildered as release of Epstein Files leads to resignations and criminal investigations in democracies around the world.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX. we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home. delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

Liam Ramos, a preschooler ICE detained the five-year-old Minnesota boy as he returned home from school and transported him to a detention center in Texas.

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

The next Democratic administration should claim fraud to justify withholding funds, thus forcing red states to prove their innocence and sending the message that no one is getting out of here alive if the Republicans stay their present course. apnews.com/article/trum...

Good morning team. Today we defeat fascists.

Gotta name this Weisswashing, I think. Because I seriously doubt this is the last time she’s going to censor stuff to protect Trump.

America, you've spoken loud and clear: you do not like being stabbed in the dick with an ice pick. But what if stabbing yourself in the dick with an ice pick is the only way to fight, idk, climate change or whatever?

Wit. It's well worth watching, but I can't imagine wanting to repeat the experience especially now that my mom's in assisted living.

1/ A few thoughts about @williambaude.bsky.social’s comment in yesterday’s NYT chat that, “It’s amazing how many of our problems today could be solved by a Congress that was willing and able to legislate in response to national problems.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/o...

And this is why we have a collective bargaining agreement with our employer.

So now federal employees will be even more protected than they were before, when it was already illegal to fire them without cause during a shutdown or threaten to withhold pay from them when they return to work? If you truly believe that this vote wasn't a mistake, you are unfit for your position.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here. And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

Today in terrifyingly chilling news…

Anyone who has experience in an abusive household, or who has worked with people in them, or has read a lot about them, will be familiar with a particular dynamic: Dad is full of loud passions & intense moods, sweeping through like a thunderstorm, unpredictable, volatile, often violent. He is ...

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.
