in a long life filled with saying stupid shit this is may be the stupidest shit he's ever said

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it. And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE? Take a bow, @schumer.senate.gov, you did this.

Did we get an ACA extension in the bill? No. Did we protect Article 2 from Presidential overreach? No. Well, what did we get? Josh Hawley can sue for millions over Jan 6th and they recriminalized hemp products. Oh sweet...

this is literally never not accurate

Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

You cannot make this stuff up. #ICE indiscriminately spraying pepper spray into cars while driving by should be immediate felony assault. In this instance, tack on felony child endangerment + whatever else puts them away forever. They maced a 1-year-old baby FFS.

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end

of all the things about this deal that are pissing me off this might have pissed me off the most

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

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

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"

Elon has never experienced this and neither have his biggest fans but now they can create these visuals with the help of a computermachine

again I ask, what is the upside of this technology

from a risk-reward perspective, this is one of the most insane things a government presenting itself as populist can do

Just going to be an incredible decision if SCOTUS says they needed to make an emergency intervention because of the risk that poor people might get food they are legally entitled to

I hope people understand that the Israeli “yellow line” isn’t about security, it’s about cleaning up a crime scene and demolishing whatever they want without witnesses. No Gazans. No press. No one left except the perpetrators. Besides propaganda drivel, there is 0 news about that part of Gaza.

A rare moment of candor: The Hero of American Nazism, who helped incite multiple synagogue massacres, gets a pass because he supports Israel. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/n...

As Ta-Nehisi Coates said last month: “.. it’s either one of two things: either you’re cowards or you’re with him. And if you’re with him, you never believed in the things you were talking about to begin with.”

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Just horrific. These are crimes. And let’s be clear — this is by design. They’ve been forthright about that. The aim is to make it migrants suffer so much that they give up their due process rights and leave voluntarily.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm.

Being a feckless government thug isn't a protected class. Every business owner in the Chicago area should be refusing to serve or sell things to federal agents, and residents should boycott any establishment that doesn't. Let them go to Indiana if they want food.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Something deeply fucked up when you can blindly break basic state functions and condemn millions to death and then people make you the richest man in the world instead of a pariah

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

It is *obscene* that that beast wearing the skin of a man called Elon Musk was just awarded a trillion dollar pay-package after he personally signed the death warrant of hundreds of thousands of innocents earlier this year.

Villains used to obfuscate. They looked normal on tv and said things like "Fiscal discipline." Now you have grotesque guys hissing "Empathy is weakness" like a cartoon

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy

We had fucking congressional hearings over Mortal Kombat.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

Once again, SCOTUS undermines the rule of law, its own legitimacy, and the lower federal courts with a 'back of the napkin' explanation that doesn't even bother to analyze the issue under the standards for staying an injunction—all to enable a bigoted attack on a targeted group.

Not impeaching and removing every official involved with this remains one of the biggest failures of constitutional governance ever, and there is a direct line from that to where we sit today.

The media is rushing 300 “New York Jews worried about Mamdani antisemitism” fetch essays based on nothing but Mamdani being a Muslim meanwhile the Republican Party from top to toe has the confidence to wear nazi makeup every day knowing the press looks at it like the westworld bots seeing a polaroid

Reporter: This is really crazy. The median age of first-time home buyers is 40 years old. That's a shocking number. That's a record high. And by the way, in 2021, that number was 33 years old. It's a huge problem

In my brief time as an op-ed editor (<year), Brettbug Stephens argued Ashkenazis might be genetically superior, & Tom Cotton called for violence against George Floyd protestors. Some of us were constantly pushing back. I met with Sulzberger multiple times. Lip service was given, nothing changed.

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

A lot of people are gonna have to spend a lot of time in prison, if people with a smidge of conscience ever get behind the wheel again.

literally at the same time as the election you have the dilbert guy, who for years railed against government involvement in medicine, getting the president to personally intervene and deliver him a cancer drug he can't access through the private market.

“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

Area party upset to discover that years of sadistic, violent rhetoric and actions critically eroded political norms they forgot that they also relied on, news at 11

When we were on Twitter the line was “Twitter isn’t real life” and now that Twitter is deliberately stirring up bigotry it’s “Bluesky is a bubble you have to be on Twitter” and I think that is a pretty clear statement of value.
