Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense. www.newsweek.com/jb-pritzker-...

These people have already proven they cannot competently occupy Los Angeles – one city, in one state – and y'all are ready to vest Trump with magical powers that he can successfully be a king forever? LOL fuck that, no

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social says Republicans have been successful with a clear message of division, which helps Trump, Musk and the Billionaires keep us divided as they “get away with highway robbery” — and to counter that Dems need to be equally clear in their message of solidarity.

The unfettered right to vote is as American as motherhood, baseball and apple pie. It's the cornerstone of our democracy. The Supreme Court must uphold the Voting Rights Act and the Constitutional protection against racial gerrymandering. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/o...

Whooooooo.

It gets worse

And the next day's as well storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx. The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake. And that’s why we’re fighting back.

The American people know that Republicans shut down the government. Democrats want to open it up immediately. And decisively address the Republican healthcare crisis.

🔥 @vicmensa.bsky.social : “I see a lot of you still drinking the kool-aid of racial division… The same motherf**kers running detention centers own private prisons (Core Civic & Geo Group). They maxed out Trump’s campaign, and they’re making billions from this, bruh. Be informed.”

YOUNG DEMS: “Deeply disturbing, reflects a serious moral failing” YOUNG REPUBLICANS: “Disgraceful. Those involved must resign”

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Pop quiz: how would you characterize someone who posts AI videos and then, when the comments that it’s AI start to pile up, leaves the video but turns off comments?

may I remind you that the fuckin’ Pope is from fuckin’ Chicago

There are a ton of valid critiques and callouts of the Israeli government. But, man, if you’re unironically going to the Nazi well to do it, maybe take a beat and have a think

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes. Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

ICE is thug trash.

Day 11 of the Republican Shutdown. Donald Trump is back on the golf course. House Republicans have cancelled votes for a third straight week. And Democrats are continuing the fight to protect your healthcare.

The healthcare crisis in America is real. Why aren’t Republicans willing to do something about it?

House Republicans are now scheming to repeal the Affordable Care Act. And take away healthcare from tens of millions of Americans. How did that work out for the extremists the last time they tried it?

Can Republicans be trusted to fix the healthcare crisis they have created? Hell No.

"We aren't playing games. We sent over a clean CR to keep the lights on and continue the appropriations process. Also, we fully support the President in not spending the money we've appropriated, meaning any deals we cut on the budget aren't worth the paper they're printed on. No games tho"

great post sir, keep saying shit like this

Meiselas: Trump says he’s focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and government employees, whatever that means. Again, completely pathetic behavior, and in normal times, this would be impeachable and/or 25th Amendment territory.

This is absolutely disgusting

SOMEONE didn't read the contract, huh

Lawyers have been publicizing a new term to describe ICE's racially targeted detainments: a “Kavanaugh stop.” Mother Jones reporter Pema Levy explains in this new video:

The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina, a main US competitor in the soybean market. This is a move that will only further screw over American soybean farmers, who're being priced out of their own market.

We’re doing what?!

NEWS: Trump accuses China of launching “hostile” export restrictions on rare earths and threatens massive new tariffs and financial countermeasures from the U.S. in response. Markets quickly dropped after he made this post.

WTF: "Attorney General Pam Bondi was caught off guard Thursday when President Donald Trump’s handpicked US attorney, Lindsey Halligan, secured New York Attorney General Letitia James’ indictment from a grand jury..."

“We refuse to pay the troops and also we’re doing indiscriminate firings of people for no reason” I’ve never seen an administration so faithfully committed to self-immolation in my entire life

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless. And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

It’s Day 10 of the Trump Shutdown. The government is closed because Republicans don’t want to provide healthcare to working-class Americans. Extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits NOW.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry. (He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

I don't think for me it is so much "criticism" as "if you were a comic I still listened to before you went this thing, that's not what you are anymore, so long and thanks but no thanks." There are plenty of other funny people out there to listen to. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
