These aren’t just the worst Republicans. They’re the worst human beings.

CC @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

They’re trying to make us dumber and @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social want to keep funding this madness.

This is the guy Dems are desperate to make a deal with.

Lots of folks in the replies understandably/honorably saying progressives & liberals shouldn’t be imitating the GOP or pledging fascist acts too. I used to think like that too but sadly I don’t see any alternatives, the GOP doesn’t respond to strongly worded letters. You have to fight fire with fire

Oh no, now Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are going to send a strongly worded letter to the Democratic base

my armchair psychological diagnosis is that the drive to accumulate as much wealth as possible eats away at the drive for self-improvement or the internal desire to cultivate any skills or tastes. these people build huge mounds of treasure and then essentially just sit around looking at it, empty.

iOS 26 SUUUUUUUUCKS.

Amen. For decades we’ve been told we have to listen to them and hear them and respect their fucking racism and hate disguised as Christianity, to turn the other cheek as they insult us and say we aren’t “real Americans,” to agree to differ when they call my husband and me “groomers.” Fuck them.

If I had the power to confiscate Ezra Klein’s beard I would

As always. Dems bringing a butter knife to an AR-15 battle.

It will be one of thousands of rubicons he’s crossed without the slightest opposition or outcry from Dems.

Racism and hate sure bake people’s brains. But when the only thing you care about in politics is seeing your guy be cruel to the people you hate, nothing else matters.

I hope to god Tylenol has some good lawyers on staff.

Barack Obama also shares some blame, along with the entire Democratic Party for utterly failing to see what the GOP were doing with the Courts.

If you want an example of affirmative action in action, it's Ben Mulroney.

@chu.house.gov's staffers tried to pass me off with "the portion of the resolution honoring Kirk was removed, later." I said that wasn't a valid excuse, because it was still in the resolution when she voted for it.

Another day of calling @chu.house.gov's office - and getting differing explanations for why she voted for the Charlie Kirk Day. The staffers themselves were deeply uncomfortable, I presume because they KNOW that what Chu did was craven and wrong.

God forbid they actually say “we were wrong.” It probably cost them $500,000 in attorney fees to draft that mealy-mouthed statement.

And yet everyone from Schumer and Jeffries through ABC and Disney through our universities and major law firms and other CEOs are falling over themselves to cooperate with him.

Trump 2024 is not just him winning the election. It was years and years of the Biden administration and the Congress sitting on its hands out of fear of provoking insurrectionists.

This exact word-for-word quote has appeared in my FB timeline about a dozen times, each time attributed to a different professional athlete. It’s always by some account that sounds like a fan account, none of which I subscribe to. Just a cesspool of misinformation and AI slop.

I don't understand how the political media class can simultaneously be so cynical and yet constantly take the worst bad faith actors at their word all the time. There seems to be no other explanation other than they are collaborators because they want the same goals.

Listen man. My whole extended family is MAGA. My hometown is 75-25 Trump. Everyone I grew up with lives in an epistemic hate bubble. But even before Fox & Facebook cooked their brains, they were vicious gutter bigots. There is no reconciling with these awful people. They want you dead. Fuck them!

And @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @chu.house.gov and @tedlieu.bsky.social are all desperate to surrender to this.

These are the people that @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @reptedlieu.bsky.social are desperate to do bipartisanship with.

please stop saying shit like "real christians don't do this." Real Christians do. They're sitting there right now doing it. They joined that kind of Christianity with the explicit intention of doing exactly what they're doing right now.

@chu.house.gov’s district is one of the most diverse I. America (and you could run a ham sandwich as a Dem and win it). Her smug staffers had no explanation, and were utterly uninterested in providing one. Every last one of these quislings should be primaried.

Can anyone imagine if Obama said this? If Harris? If Clinton?

Rep. @gluesenkampperez.house.gov voted for a day celebrating this opinion.

@reptedlieu.bsky.social voted for a national day of remembrance for the guy who said this.

Hey @chu.house.gov - you voted for a national day of remembrance for this guy. Do you think this view should be celebrated?

There is only one way to deal with Quislings - the way the Norwegians dealt with Vidkun himself.

Americans can recite the words of their constitutional guarantees but most of them don’t understand the meaning behind them. It’s a complete failure of our civics education to go beyond instilling superficial patriotism.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

The complete failure of American education to actually inculcate civic values - beyond the nonsense shibboleths Americans always recite about Greatest And Freest Country Evah!™️ - is what’s gotten us here. This statement should viscerally repel us all, but most won’t see the problem.

I agree it’s good to convert voters. The thing that DC Dems can’t seem to get into their thick skulls is that kumbaya listening sessions convert no one. What converts people is creating a social penalty for stupid beliefs and ideas

“Don’t vote Republican if you want to hang with decent people and exist in polite, civilized society” is 100% what we should be saying.

@reptedlieu.bsky.social delivered “scathing” lines and then turns around to vote to honor Charlie Kirk, sticking his middle finger up at every one of his constituent who isn’t a corporate donor.

Primary all collaborators and quislings.

Dear @schumer.senate.gov : Go fuck your craven careerist self and resign. Unacceptable collaboration with an undemocratic regime by failing to use all the tools in your toolbox to uphold the Constitution. At least STFU and stop torturing us with your drivel. —A constituent and political scientist

Schumer doesn’t even understand what’s happening.

Useless. Totally useless.

Telling people to be fearful of protest and trying to frighten them with (incredibly unlikely) possibility that they’ll be targeted by law enforcement for peaceful mass opposition is absolutely a way of discouraging people from being part of the opposition, WHICH IS WHY DONALD TRUMP IS DOING IT.

And note the complete silence of the supposed opposition. This should be an earth-shattering scandal, but they’re too busy making nice with Nazis and don’t want to make the Congressional cafeteria awkward for their buddies Cruz and Graham and MTG.

And the hagiography proceeds apace because Dems are falling over themselves to boost it, rather than trying to point out wha a repulsive troglodyte Nazi he was.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Useless. Utterly useless.

Won’t be any flags at half-mast for them.

Dems: “This is just a distraction.”
