Never forget: every time you turn out to protest, you have a chance to see a cool dog.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

What about Tai Chi?

Embarrassing.

Fuck Tim Kaine. Mediocre senator and attriciously lousy veep pick.

The harm caused by the shutdown was real, affecting millions, and no one should downplay that. But America is not in a situation of harm or no harm. Rapidly backsliding into authoritarianism, America is in a terrible situation where appeasement trades short-term relief for more long-term harm.

Probably a programmed auto comment.

I rescind my long support for the dollar coin. I could support his face on the penny and then eliminate it before any get issued.

Look, I know all lawyers are crooks, but of you need a presidential pardon, should you still get to practice?

Can we dump Schumer and replace him with Pelosi?

Senator, in addition to dumping Chuck Schumer, you ought to for Eugene is responsible for this video still. It's horrid.

Always delighted to see the late Sal Mineo getting work on CNN. Numbers so bad that maybe the DC press corpse will have to pay attention.

The Vichy Caucus motto:

Yo Gomer, if you made employee health care more accessible and your own state did more to force employers to do that, the numbers would probably go down. Your state is a "taker," so maybe YOU and your state are the problem.

Your colleagues sold out your party and the people. Who does that?

This will end well.

The Vichy Caucus

Yup. That's their hope.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Marshall knows how insurance works. He's hoping we don't understand. Kinda like his fellow Floridian Rick Scott talking about Medicaid fraud. They're experts at it and evil liars.

@shaheen.senate.gov Fuck you. Sellout. Loser. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. "So now we'll see?" That's literally all you got. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. Great job. With leadership like yours, Dems deserve to be a permanent minority party.

@kaine.senate.gov Fucking dipshit. You just don't get it. Unforgivable betrayal of your constituents and the American people. Feckless, clueless loser who here accomplished absolutely nothing to stop Trump and save democracy.

Florida's third senator showing again what a duplicitous piece of shit he is. Horrible human who knows he is disturbing reality to try to score points. Special place in hell for fucktwats like you. Special place in hell.

Odds of either of them having the correct take on the Dem base are usually exceedingly low. Odds of both are have to be more unlikely than winning the Powerball. If Nate Silver calls it right, we should all watch out for lightning for a day or two.

Questionable coaching by the @laramsfanzone.bsky.social Sean McVey. Going for it on 4 and 2 or drswing your opponent offsides fir a first down might normally make sense. But, not when you have the chance to introduce the world to the legend that is the Thiccer Kicker.

Congressional Democrats, seizing defeat from the jaws of victory since 1992.

The failure if Dem leaders to act like a crisis is a crisis, and now caving, has to be confusing a lot of voters. Dems had a rallying moment and instead just gave up the golden goose.

Fucking quitters. Very disappointing. On the other hand, to pass anything, the House will have to come back into session, which will force the release of the Epstein files. Could be Dems know this and are forcing Little Mikey's hand. But probably not . All eyes should shift to the House recess.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

The whole point of linking the ACA funding to the CR was that it gave leverage to Democrats. Having a free-standing ACA funding bill eliminates that leverage - even if it passes Congress, Trump will just veto it.

Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

The entire gambling explosion is going to damage sports to a degree we still can't imagine. Kennesaw Mountain Landis is laughing at us somewhere.

But breaking from Trump on one issue opens eyes to other issues. Seeing that his actions are hiring you, helps you see that other people are being hurt too.

If techbros imagine a utopia where AI does everything and humanity thrives on UBI, why aren't any of them fighting to get universal income now (instead of endless tax breaks)?

Every generation since has had it harder than Boomers, certainly over the past 40+ years. Our entire economy, housing, jobs, etc. have all been gamed to their benefit. Nikki Haley's son, the son of an affluent family with the accompanying connectoons and opportunities, would be an exception.

Yeah, but we're going to lose a judge, which kinda sucks.

It’s unfair that Trump gets to sleep through his presidency and the rest of us have to be awake for it

Trump: I told him not to pull my finger. Orban: It's true, he did.

🎶 And the sign said......

If I have to see this, you do two. Pasty, ugly, obese old man doesn't know how to blend. What's amazing, as ugly as his face is, his bronzer doesn't his a lick of his ugly heart.

If you don't follow @dieworkwear.bsky.social, you're missing out. Seriously incredible eye for detail, great advice, and entertaining.

Now? Did they not watch the elections? University administrators may be the only people more craven than the partners at the big law firms.

What's going to get us out of it? How about you Trump-suckling toadies grow a spine and do what's right for your constituents and it country?

Fucking lawyers and fucking courts. Children are missing meals, and these overpaid tools have to take this much time to consider the legal merits of blah, blah, fuckity blah. What the actial fuck? Ya can't work late on a goddamn Friday to get kids fed sooner?

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

A letter following up on a letter? You can do more, Senator. Pressure the Cook Co. state prosecutor to file charges and demand she take action. Call local law enforcement out for not investigating and arresting ICE's thugs.

Yeah, but he won't remember he did it.
