You Gotta Fight! For Your Right! To Paaaaarty!

TIL there is an orange motel in Orangeburg SC called "Trumps Inn" ...do with that information what you will.

On the plus side, does this mean that the House will have to come back in session to vote on opening the govt back up (approving the Senate plan), and could that mean they finally have to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva?

Welcome to the internet, home of bad takes, uninformed opinions, and hate. Enjoy your stay!

The full 12 minutes of @govpritzker.illinois.gov speech today, which was superb. (Via Nicole Wallace / @msnbc.com segment.) www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi...

All I want for Christmas is a Stephen Colbert candidacy in South Carolina...

Saw this and thought it was a much more accurate acronym for the Grand Old Party these days:

Jazz legend Chuck Mangione, known for his hit song, "Feels So Good," has died. He was 84. The 2-time Grammy awarded musician died in his sleep at home on Tuesday.

What would firing Jerome Powell mean for inflation and the bond market? We asked three unvaccinated Jordan Peterson fans at a Buffalo Wild Wings in Secaucus.

we could just cut a 50K check to each of those people and do a lot more good with the same amount of money, couldn't we?

AND HE'LL HELP YOU FIGURE YOUR PHONE OUT

This is not a big beautiful bill–This is one of the cruelest bills we’ve seen in our country’s history, and it’s going to decimate Iowa. People are going to die because of this bill. But it won’t be Joni Ernst and her rich friends. It will be our families, our friends, and our neighbors.

South Carolina has been a "Red" state as long as I can remember... At what point do people realize the party in charge is not helping them or their state?

😂😂😂

Maybe now that senators are getting handcuffed the Senate might do something about fascism

You love to see it...

All the lefties fled to Bluesky following Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. But CEO Jay Graber says she’s not just building the next Twitter. Bluesky is for everyone—and it could revolutionize how people communicate online.

I'd much rather talk about the terrible job our current administration is doing than discuss the health concerns of a former president. How about you?

Anyone shocked by what this administration is doing (On multiple issues) hasn't been paying attention for long, have they?

Today would be a good day to listen to the Smoking Popes

welp, crossing this spot off the list...yikes.

Booker is now giving his top five scenes from "High Fidelity"

It’s not just about blocking votes. Cory Booker’s filibuster forces the conversation into the spotlight. Whether you agree w/him or not, he’s using every tool available to fight for what he believes in—that’s exactly what leaders should be doing. Quite frankly, Schumer should have before the CR.

Corey Booker is at around 12 hours plus, now, on this speech. There are 17,000 viewers this morning. Don't say this doesn't matter, because it certainly does. Shifting sands have to start with a single grain of sand before they become a sandstorm, and this is a start. To what, we'll see.

Watching this for the last hour, will hang in there as long as I can... www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

But her emails....

Welcome to South Carolina. If you don't like the weather, wait a few hours and it will change.

So yet again the Democratic response is going to act like this is normal times.

If I was the Democratic Party, I would have planned to get one member at a time tossed out throughout this speech, until the chamber was only sycophants. Would have been a powerful symbolic message, unlike stupid stick signs. Would have also been a delicious distraction to the speaker...

Columbia, SC showed up for parks and rangers at Congaree National Park today. Save our parks! @resistancerangers.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social

We are handing world dominance to the Chinese and Russians on a silver f--ing platter.

Several good things are happening according r/fednews so I am going to drop them here. If federal workers are fighting back, how much more us? A thread/

So what are the unemployment numbers going to look like next month once all these federal job cuts go through?

Something I haven't really seen any analysis on is what will happen with all this government spending cut via shutting down various departments, grants, etc... People don't realize what a huge chunk of the economy the federal government is, and how much extra juice that injects into the numbers.

When I was in college I wrote an entire paper on the cultural significance of the song "Stagger Lee." If I was a college student today, I'd be working on one about the Kendrick Lamar halftime show. There's a reason he is a Pulitzer Prize winner.

started to turn on the pregame Super Bowl coverage, happened upon the opening of the Trump interview and promptly shut it back off for a while...

I vacillate between wanting to completely get off social media and being constantly on it.

This came up today...that 13 yr old is now 22, and yes, they did finally find out.

Just realized that even if Congress had the balls to impeach and remove Trump, that would make Vance president. The rest of the line of succession is similarly filled with Trump sycophants.

Not sure I can muster up much sympathy for Sen. Collins, even though she's right...

Not that I'm recommending it, but what would happen if all federal employees just quit en masse...? Maybe they could just call out sick for a week, all in the same week. Some kind of mass action seems warranted at this point.

This is what we need more of... Calling this stuff what it is

Are any significant opposing views to the Trump tsunami of shit being pushed out by anyone in the Democratic Party? Just don't feel like there's any outrage or urgency out there... Even as a minority party, there must be strenuous opposition constantly.

If you haven't been concerned until he fucked with the price of your coffee...

I've been wrestling for the past week with how I can personally get more involved in the various causes and concerns of late. One way on a local level is to get more aware about what is being done with legislation here in SC www.aclusc.org/en/news/legi...
