One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law! That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

Hi @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social! If you vote for this horrible deal, I will spend the next 4 years making sure you are both primaried and retired from the US Senate.

PSA: The Great Muppet Caper is available on Disney Plus. You're welcome.

In case you forgot, Jay Jacobs is the worst and Hochul needs to dump him like yesterday!

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

Still true! Hopefully after today we'll never have to think about him again.

1. No ID required in New York unless it's your first time voting. 2. New York has fusion voting which allows candidates to be nominated by multiple parties 3. Adams dropped out after the deadline to remove your name passed 4. Cuomo lost the Democratic primary, so he's running on a third party line

We gathered at the steps of New York City Hall to demand that Gov. Hochul fund SNAP benefits for the 3 million New Yorkers who rely on them. “We urge her to use State funds to pay for all or some of November SNAP benefits, just as multiple other states have already done.”

My new favorite thing is online crypto bros trying to lecture poor people on how to best spend their money.

Just saw a guy on the subway wearing a straightjacket and I'm like 90% sure it's a costume.

Same!

I want to read an entire dissertation on the societal impact of the "I Voted" sticker. I'm serious.

Great question, Rand Paul! For starters: 1. Wages that have not kept up with inflation 2. Lack of affordable child care for working parents 3. Exploding healthcare & housing costs 4. 30% increase in grocery prices in the past 5 years 5. A global pandemic that people are still recovering from

If you see someone stealing food - no you didn't.

I actually read this thinking that maybe some of these guys were just a little confused or misunderstood, but nah, they're all psychos. www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

First animated crush without saying you age.

Oh man, season 3 episode 1 of the Diplomat did not disappoint!

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

There is a whole contingent of Twitter that has convinced itself that high turnout is bad for Mamdani and good for Cuomo. If they actually believe that, the breakdowns on election night are going to be epic.

On November 1st, 42 million Americans will lose their food assistance, unless Republicans in Congress re-open the government.

Hey folks, maybe we could take a break from talking about a Maine Senate primary happening in 8 months to talk about a very important Maine ballot measure that folks are voting on in less than 2 weeks!

Mom-donnie. It's really not that hard to say.

They are truly the dumbest fucking people.

And now I need to rewatch The Great Muppet Caper!

the amount of time conservatives spend thinking about childrens genitals is legit crazy

There’s 1,000 times more chatter about the Maine senate race in a year than about Maine’s ballot measure in 3 weeks that’d bring voter ID and crack down on mail voting… maybe let’s start there??? boltsmag.org/maine-questi...

I like Ed Markey, and I haven't been a big fan of Moulton's, but no one who is about to turn 80 should be running for a 6 year Senate term. www.cnn.com/2025/10/15/p...

Glad people are finally catching on! 😂 www.wsj.com/lifestyle/tr...

there are a couple of ways to think about this, one is that no one should be running for their first senate race at this age, and the other is that if platner can’t beat her, he definitely can’t beat collins. i think he can. everybody needs to stop crying and start fighting.

oh good I was worried the utterly unearned Vanity Fair editor job was all she got for violating the most basic rules of journalism

I'm sorry, what??

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

THIS is the energy I want to see from all of our candidates!

"Wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus" might be the most astounding seven words any NYC mayoral candidate has ever spoken.

#TeamTish, now and always.

I don't understand why people go on this weirdo's podcast: www.thecut.com/article/jay-...

This shit must hit so hard if you’re stupid.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

The French do NOT play.

The Republicans control the House, the Senate and the Presidency. This is shit framing, AP. How about, "Republicans fail to pass bill."

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

I hate this fucking guy, but he's absolutely right.

Look, if you don't want to be called Nazis, stop doing and saying Nazi things!

Give Issac Chotiner subpoena power

All we had to do was vote for the qualified Black lady :(

The AUDACITY.

Hey world, on behalf of America, all I can say is "we're really sorry." Some of us did try.

You can’t make antivaxxers happy. You come up with a perfectly reasonable line of bullshit about aspirin and autism and they’re all like “but i wanted autism to be caused by diet soda and werewolves”
