It really is insane that this is how we got here. A bipartisan freak out to run cover for Israel, handing the platform to Trump bsky.app/profile/joeb...

Thinking about how republicans were going to the border nonstop in 2024 even though fucking nothing noteworthy was going on and doing interviews and press conferences with their asshole supporters down there and screaming "SHE'S NEVER BEEN TO THE BORDER" and made it a national crisis

Holy shit, can you believe it? What are the odds the exact number of Democrats needed to vote yes instead of no did exactly that? Isn’t it wild how that keeps happening? So weird!

This is quite literally one of the stupidest human beings alive

"Should we vote to give more money to the people shooting my constituents in the face?" is not a complicated political question. And yet, Democrats don't seem able to answer it.

ICE kidnapped a five year old child but thanks to Hakeem Jeffries they have to film it now

People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.

"Actually the term is ephebophilia"

If Republicans openly declared their response to a massive national crisis where American citizens were being abused and killed was “we are going to do nothing because we already expect to win elections in 10 months so why rock the boat” you would rightly acknowledge they are all sociopaths.

ICE murdered a woman and you’re voting to increase their funding

They can’t do it because it points out that they themselves are doing nothing to help. Maybe three of them saying Abolish ICE. The rest are talking about retraining and body cams and QR codes.

I’m sure we’ll be hearing this a lot over the next few years but this is one of the more blatant examples of how America surrendered what could have been one of the largest industrial and production booms in decades because half the country decided it was woke and gay

No, it’s not. Just like last time, this is meaningless if it’s just Jeffries saying this because we all know the bill is passing the House regardless. The only way this is a “big deal” is if Schumer and Senate Democrats are saying it with him.

And now here’s Foreigner with the weather

I sincerely believe in the next few years there's going to be a burgeoning job market for fired writers/editors/designers/coders etc to fix all the incalculable damage AI did the same way they had to hire back all the programmers from the 70's because they coded the year 2000 with only two numbers

Do you know a single black person

He’s like the Punxatawny Phil of Texans freezing to death

I remain awestruck that you can be chief WH correspondent of the New York Times while apparently accepting the version of history that you were taught in grade school in the 1970’s

it is good when we acknowledge the good things that are done, which sometimes is just making sure bad things don't happen.

I genuinely, honestly, terrifyingly don't think Democrats have even the slightest grasp of how ten more months of doing nothing about this is not actually going to inspire people to vote for more of them into office and it's gobsmacking how this appears to be what almost all of them believe

It’s great to live in a system where people make six or seven figures to explain that this messaging is too complicated for Americans to understand or will be offensive to them.

Can you really not do that thing where you pretend both yourself and everyone you’re talking to are incredibly stupid? Thanks

man I'm sorry, but "all of our elites are failing EXCEPT DEMOCRATS, WHO CANNOT BE BLAMED" is simply absurd when the leaders of the party are chuck schumer and hakeem jeffries

this is a beloved blue maga conspiracy theory. i think republicans are fascist monsters and i think they are very good at communication. why? because the giant brains in the democratic party keep losing elections to fascist monsters.

The Democrats are very busy rushing to stay ahead of how they’re going to cave completely on the CR this time, but it’s nice that Patty Murray took some time out of her busy day caving to explain to the majority of Democratic voters in the country how they’re all just stupid and wrong

Oh good it appears we’re at that inevitable point of a story where all of the sensible liberals would now like to scold everyone actually doing anything on the appropriate way to protest so it doesn’t make them feel uncomfortable

Hate to point out the obvious here but if Democrats aren't even willing to support abolishing ICE imagine how receptive they'll be to abolishing, you know, anything else Trump passed through Congress, especially the stuff that included tax cuts.

What's also so baffling about this line of argument is... okay, then, Democrats, what is your plan to lower grocery prices? More sternly worded letters? Or are we expecting the fever to break and food manufacturing corporations to come to their senses, I heard that one works quite well

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

Oh cool, the top Democrat overseeing ICE is 77 years old

It is absolutely hilarious that Kamala Harris and Josh Shapiro so clearly and utterly hate each other and have already decided three years out to begin the time honored process of trying to stop the other's presidential campaign via tell-all memoir, the Beltway equivalent of the Mean Girls slam book

Maybe it’s happened before and I’ve just never caught it, but this is honestly a first for me and it is genuinely so weird and kind of secondhand embarrassing to see an actual elected member of Congress using the term “libtards.” Everyone is twelve now.

You’re an insta-mute if you’re still doing the “they’re called skeets” thing in 2026

ICE is seriously going to be Gaza all over again for Democrats isn’t it. They’re going to try it again, insisting if they just don’t talk about it then it’s not actually an issue that matters to millions of voters.

It is endlessly funny how Republicans, having complete control of the government, could end gerrymandering across the country in a day, but every one of their tantrums has to avoid acknowledging that is not nor has it ever been what they want. They literally just want only Republicans to do it.

Pardon?

In fairness, the diners where they could find this sentiment will not be occupied or owned by white people.

Again: we already have video evidence of the crime. THE MURDERER FILMED HIMSELF DOING IT AND POSTED IT ONLINE. It is a pointless bluesky devil’s advocate argument to whinge about the theoretical benefits of body cams when we’re talking about a REAL event where a body cam would have changed NOTHING.

ah, well, nevertheless

Bemused by how many people I know are feeding 10-year old photos of themselves into Meta's slop funnel. You don't have to do this.

Corey Booker announcing his legislation to make ICE wear body cameras a week after the entire Republican Party excused an ICE officer murdering somebody by showing the video the officer took with his own cell phone of him murdering them is a testament to how stupid Democrats think all of us are.

The entire history of the Trump presidency is a near-endless series of sycophants who believe they will somehow be the one who Trump doesn’t discard instantly, and it is objectively funny it is Cassidy’s turn to Fall For It Again now

I'm not sure the author of this piece ever worked a service job before, because getting the authority to say "get the fuck out right now" to a visitor that's annoying the shit out of people is one of the rare joys of a service job

Much like Iran, Turkey, etc., the problem for Trump with nurturing a strong and supportive independence movement is it takes time—decades if not years—and that’s just boring and doesn’t make headlines instantly. So move fast and break everything it is again.

Secondary to the story, I know, but it is so obvious that he did not write this and is simply not writing these posts himself anymore and that seems like it should be a big story in of itself

Trump take Legos
