Just a reminder that Transportation secretary Pete buttigieg and the Biden Administration had the number of air traffic controllers on the rise again after declining steadily throughout Trump 1.0. Now it's declining again and assholes want to blame it on the Democrats - FUCK THAT

With control of both the house and the Senate, the Democrats can take back authority to Levy tariffs and they should run on a promise to do precisely that- removal of all tariffs for starters. Aggressive antitrust enforcement actions and legislation can help too, but assholes will scream socialism.

Come on Chris Jansing. No caveats, and no euphemisms. Just call Trump's pronouncements the lies that they are.

Phase one for gerrymandering is clumping all the Democrats into a small number of districts. That tends to produce a predictable result. When you take those clumps and break them up and spread them around- called dilution- is when the new districts become vulnerable to 10 plus point swings.

1 trillion dollars is $3,000 a piece for every man woman and child in America.

All roads, and all threads, lead to pedophile Island.

The last people in the world that Trump and Russ Vought should want to put in trauma are the air traffic controllers, but they did it anyway. Trump and his minions have materially degraded the quality of life of virtually every human on planet Earth. Li'l Bub doesn't care.

I don't even...

Just a reminder.

For anyone listening to the Supreme Court arguments today- Samuel Alito is a fucking dildo. Also I find the level of deference to John Sauer versus the low-grade hostility towards Neil Katyal is generating some "banality of evil" vibes in brain.

Breakin' it on down to a level....

My theory of the case is that Lindsay Halligan has volunteered to sacrifice her law license in return for some unknown quid pro quo from Trump. It's hard to imagine getting a true bill on the charges for both Comey and James without fabricating, omitting, or misrepresenting something.

So, we're saying that all Democrats are tainted if one strays even slightly from the approved path, but Republicans are covered and fully in compliance if they have even briefly aligned somewhat with the issue in question. This is the exact double standard we've been dealing with basically forever.

So, let's see if I've got this straight. Affordability is only good and desirable if the mechanism by which it comes about cannot in any way be referred to as socialist in nature. Okay. Got it.

The state of Florida only has 6.6% of United States population, yet 22% of the people receiving Obamacare subsidies live in Florida.

There is not a God damned thing in the Constitution indicating the founders intent to give even one speck of deference to the president. The so-called unitary executive theory is a wholly man-made construct of the religious ideologues/partisan apparatchiks who have infiltrated the Supreme Court.

It makes the masochistic dildos feel like they've got some skin in the game or some warped-ass shit. So many find denying themselves to be an acceptable price to pay for the privilege of denying the others.

Li'l Bub is busy growing in his winter coat.

Blue no matter who. Withholding your vote over ANY single issue is pure nihilism. Getting what you can get when you can get it, moving the ball forward and living with good enough for now is the only way to go when it's the only way to go. We know you're serious so don't hurt yourself to prove it.

If we are truly going to be the big tent party, we are going to have to stop letting perfect be the enemy of the good and yes, even though there is Nazi symbology involved, this situation still qualifies. The explanations he gave to Jen Psaki were good enough for me- for now.

Power concedes nothing. We can reinstall the RULES at a later date when the current crisis is past, but our own base of support has made it clear that there will be no brownie points awarded for conspicuous adherence to the rules. As long as we stay within the LAW, the effing gloves are off.

Very, very well played.

Absolutely prototypical Trump. Break a thing, then cast it away. Buy it back at a premium, in highly degraded condition. Declare victory. Thanks, you effing asshole.

This latest attempt by Trump to hoodwink the populace is even weaker when you consider that the Reps in the Senate could vote at any time to carve out the filibuster and pass the clean CR with 51 votes, just like they did for that slug of Trump nominees four or five weeks ago- no difference at all.

Snap cost about 8 billion per month, there are five or six billion in the contingency fund that the stupid bastards are refusing to deploy. The cruelty is most definitely the point, and Trump never lets a chance pass to inflict it on his own supporters.

"If we all insist that the sky is purple, we can effectively Force the sky to be purple." As the trumpists try to foist their fabulist version of the world on the rest of us sentient beings, I can't get Monty Python's upper class twit of the year skit out of my head. Headshot for the win...

Anyone who thinks Trump's claim of acing the Montreal cognitive assessment is evidence of superior intelligence really needs to Google this bastard up and read the damn thing. A sharp third grader can kill this thing, and y'all need to shut the fuck up.

The whole taxation without representation thing is horrendously undercovered, and should be generating a CAT5 hurricane howl of disapproval.

Margaret you should be ashamed of yourself. You know damn well that Democrats were not objecting to Trump's language- they were objecting to his actions. Democrats are objecting to election rigging that is currently underway. Trump was objecting to a situation that was a figment of his imagination.

Papa, my winter coat is starting to come in..

Under the Biden Administration, and likewise under a putative Harris Administration, 100% reimbursement would have been automatic. That's right, y'all voted to deny assistance to yourself. And now y'all are so embarrassed, or so wrapped up in your own victimhood that there's hardly a peep out of you

This would be…everything! Pete is a brilliant communicator!

I don't think people really understand just how big 90,000 square feet is. The artist rendering of the ballroom show it as being about twice as long as it is wide. So, we're talking 200 ft by 450 ft- 13 yd wider than a football field, and as long as one and a half football fields.

Donald Trump is the king feral hog of American politics. Every time he engages with another compartment of our government he roots around, tears up the carpet and pisses in the corner to mark his territory. He defiles everything.

Shane Goldmacher is a self-important idiot

BIG GOP HYPOCRISY ALERT! Why aren't Dems publicizing the fact that Republicans can pass the CR in the Senate with no Democratic help whenever they want. They can do a nuclear option carve out of the filibuster and pass with 51 votes right now. They did it barely a month ago for some Trump nominees.

Look at the hundreds of high quality identical signs- manufactured in a Soros funded Sign Factory. Stupid effing douchebags. Transgender for everyone!

A one-year extension of the ACA premium support tax credits cost about $30 billion, but we just gave Argentina 20 billion. America first, my liberal white ass.

When Musk threw those Sieg Heils from the stage, he meant it with every fiber of his being. Remember he signed the death warrants of literally millions of people by killing usaid on inauguration day before he had even taken a piss.

Yes that's part of it, but only a small part. Extending the ACA tax credits will cost less than $30 billion for the first year, and those savings represent only a small portion of Trump's profligate tax giveaway. It's just their clunky plausible deniability for not releasing the Epstein files.

There has been a backsliding in the mainstream media of using the "on both sides" caveat. There is no need for prominent voices to try to burn their journalistic cred by false equivalency when the right is trying to tell you that the sky is purple.

God damn it- being in the country without documents is a fucking MISDEMEANOR. And a civil misdemeanor to boot. I was always taught that it is impermissible for law enforcement to draw weapons on suspects of misdemeanor offenses unless they are under direct threat. WTF?

That's right. And 500,000 of them were totally unnecessary. Add to that the concentric circles of death radiating from the destruction of usaid, and that rat bastard is coming up on his first full million deaths. No Nobel prizes for Black Card members of The Butchers Club.
