The IT team at Hormel must have the most “Who’s on first” job experience in world history. Just unending days of, “Look man I don’t know what to tell you it’s all just *gonna* end up in that one folder!”

@bradlander.bsky.social @darializaforny.bsky.social and Claire Valdez let’s goooooooooooo!!!!! Great slate @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and let’s turn this country around!!! With love and solidarity, a better world is possible!!!

All of us in the reality-based universe to Trump and MAGA as they try to bullshit us about what’s in the memorandum of understanding with Iran.

Just watching the inimitable @ddayen.bsky.social on @majorityreport.bsky.social (always a treat!) Has there been a @nikobowie.bsky.social @jamellebouie.net collab yet on saving democracy by reining in SCOTUS? If not, why not? Give the nerds what we’re (I mean…they’re…) clamoring for folks!

San Antonio Spurs > Bone Spurs

No one even pitched the idea of naming Heated Rivalry, “Mighty Fucks”? What are we even doing here people??

@reprabb.bsky.social Congrats sir!!!! Let’s gooooooo!!!!

To all the reactionaries that get up in arms any time someone darker hued than Benedict Cumberbatch gets cast in a movie..

@senatormuth.com Lets goooo

@samseder.bsky.social @majorityreport.bsky.social @emmavigeland.bsky.social Sam I’ve never seen these on a shelf before. I’ll take it but can you manifest something a little more impactful next time??

@edzitron.com Hey man I love your work. Currently at a township meeting trying to stop a data center project a few miles from me. I think I can guess your rebuttal but here’s the company line on future tax revenue for a 1,800,000sq data center.

Likely joining the Giants is both happening and a 1920’s radio bit.

Guys can we make “MAGA Culpa” a thing?

I can say with certainty that no one is concerned his mental acuity is increasing.

Holy crap @majorityreport.bsky.social @emmavigeland.bsky.social @mattlech.bsky.social it just clicked that Mac is Tim Pool (but slightly smarter of course..) Seriously tell me they aren’t indistinguishable!!

I’m somewhat conflicted about it myself but however you feel about the loss of US global hegemony you have to admit Trump doing this to us in broad daylight as he loots whatever he can from the treasury in between impromptu catnaps and thunderous burger farts is not a dignified way to go out. #Davos

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

i am rooting as much as is appropriate for mamdani to be an effective mayor because if he manages it, he will be an important model and national leader for american progressives — one part fiorello la guardia, one part robert la folette

Yo a breakfast spot that hires dirtbags exclusively selling pork belly everything bagel sandwiches: Seedy Underbelly

Perhaps the only positive development during this shitty era of American politics is the titles of annoying campaign fundraising emails getting direct to the point that they’re hilarious. To wit:

Not sure why this sound has been playing in my head all day. Anyway I wonder if any new Epstein information…

@ositanwanevu.com After watching your latest (very insightful!) interview on the @majorityreport.bsky.social I knew I had to do my part to spread the word and make sure the message gets out. Can’t wait to dig in!

@houlahan.house.gov youtu.be/d0RXIJbq1lw?... History is watching and genocide is the crime of crimes. This is what leadership looks like. Please stand with him, the man you recently censured, and on principle. We will have your back if you do.

Hey Dems, here’s some free comms advice! Maybe hit the GOP with some version of, “One way to tell that our policies benefit the public is that unlike them we pass bills in daylight!”

Curious that Trump’s FTC just dropped the case against Pepsi when Don Jr and so many others in the administration are obviously such fans of coke?

“Why don’t you and ___ talk anymore?” “You know how it is. He fell down a left wing rabbit hole. Just wouldn’t shut up about human rights and materially improving people’s lives regardless of who they are. At a certain point it’s like ‘How can I be friends with someone who doesn’t share my values?’”

Breaking: the worst people you know behaving exactly as you expected

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social Resign. Over your Islamophobic smears of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social or your vote on this disgusting crypto bill that will almost assuredly lead to another financial crisis; you choose. Take your pick, just leave.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Congrats brother! You’ve shown us all a way forward by running a principled, focused and joyful campaign of solidarity and you and your team ran through the tape. You have the support of the people and the wind at your back. Let’s goooooo!!!

@majorityreport.bsky.social The only thing I can envision when @emmavigeland.bsky.social or @samseder.bsky.social hit that killer sound byte.

If I was a billionaire I’d buy controlling shares in a company that makes astroturf with the sole objective of making very public donations from it to say like, I dunno, festivals being headlined by people like @mattyglesias.bsky.social or @dkthomp.bsky.social as a piece of meta performance art.

@thetraecrowder.bsky.social youtu.be/an-KvOdvEB8?... These TN Traes (or Treys) man!

This is why the non-Cuomo candidates need to go on TV, like, NOW. In order to not be an also-ran people have to perceive you as not being an also-ran. That means being on TV.

Gonna refer to this as our “Scott Bessent into Madness” era

@corybooker.com 💪🏻

@thetraecrowder.bsky.social @markagee.bsky.social Boys thanks for the always insightful bonus Skews very much including this (possibly unintentional?) banger; almost certainly a sentence never uttered before by man, “Tonight’s DD is Pete Hegseth!” Just 🤌🤌🤌

@ivey.house.gov Thank you for showing leadership by demanding better than the pathetic complicity and acquiescence of @schumer.senate.gov. We need you all to fight for us and we’ll back you up!

@schumer.senate.gov Time to go Chuck!!

Can’t wait for the media to step up to the plate to...tell us the GOP may be lying about cutting programs for the poor and disabled to give it to morbidly rich people who certainly don’t need it and will never use it but the Republicans say they’re not so you decide.

Clown car is the perfect metaphor for America right now.

I wonder if the Friday night massacre of 18 inspectors general is connected in any way to what Elon is doing while Trump distracts with foreign policy belligerence. Maybe the media could look into this and let the normies know? Seems like it might be important.

Hey Joe and Nancy, you still think “we need a strong Republican Party”??
