If we don’t change our Congressional leadership to new people who know how to fight and who want change, this is what is in our future. Look at the collapse of Starmer’s approval.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

Let me guess, wealthy people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes now want the countries they moved from to protect them?

The problem with the war in Iraq was that George Bush was an idiot. With the Iran situation, we've got... [checks notes]... oh jesus christ

We have lost a decade of our life to an evil idiot…a dolt. A moron. One of the most racist and dumbest humans on the planet. 10 years.

You have to give him credit. Saying this after the pussy grabber in Chief became president twice and is worshiped like a God by the Republican party takes some real chutzpah.

he’s so close to getting it

The Supreme Court:

At last. SCOTUS remembers that Congress is a separate and co-equal branch of government, to whom the Constitution assigns the power to levy taxes. One of Trump’s favorite levers is removed from the arsenal of extortion.

pedophile prince arrested in england. insurrectionist president sentenced to life in prison in south korea. meanwhile every day for our pedophile insurrectionist president is like a birthday party for a mentally disabled boy with rich parents.

Congrats to former Prince Andrew on his new job at CBS News

Newsom’s siding with the billionaires.

it's funny in a way, but the rubio speech is an AI-quality imitation of an Obama speech, but with ethnonationalism replacing pluralism. It's as if the prompt were, "write me an obama speech but make it white supremacist." Hasn't been president in a decade but they're still biting

And they were all used by that one Norwegian guy SMH

Surprise — Lutnick is a liar. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/n...

Love how the presumption here is that the President doesn't know what he's sharing and that's fine and normal. Sorry, no, if the President doesn't know what he's sending out then that is indisputable proof of gross incompetence, cognitive unfitness, or both.

The media is brazenly, openly republican and it sucks that democrats don’t know how to communicate this

Woke is back, and this time it's pissed

I think "woke" was at least partly identified with "irritating" and the way we're rectifying that in Woke 2 is by being scary instead

Mission accomplished. Cartoon by @milbrathdraws.bsky.social

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

This is it. And the founders also never really envisioned a system like industrial and post-industrial capitalism that would be *fundamentally at odds* with their vision of a democratic republic. Which is why capitalism must be dismantled.

Here Gavin Newsom is, inviting straight up fascists on his show and agreeing with their bigoted statements, to convince right-leaning "centrists" that he's middle of the road Presidential material. And self-appointed spokesman for the right-leaniing centrists Bret Stephens says sorry still too woke.

hey it's those nice people we interviewed in the diner

(cartoon from the archives)

the only thing the New York Times likes better than profiling fascist liars is forgetting to mention that they're fascist liars

It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser. What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

Such a great comment. I'm tempted to say both they and Trump's MAGA insanity machine going so horribly all-in is the very thing that made the bottom fall out, i.e. reaction to that, but something always happens to burst the bubble, that's just the mechanism by which this one (hopefully) did.

I guess this didn't make it into the documentary.

One thing the Epstein files make even more clear than it already was is that the world didn't become suddenly corrupt, sexist and abusive when Donald Trump won in a surprise in 2015, even thought it seems that way sometimes. It was this way going way, way back. and it was all documented.

People that believed there was an underground pedophile ring in the basement of a pizza parlor when the Epstein files drop

it's quite funny that the international pedophile ring got QAnon to put them all in power.

"Reverse Emails"! It's been going on for a decade, & every time you point it out the elites at the Paper of Record circle wagons & call you an idiot & tell you that you're being unfair & remind you that don't understand journalism. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

this guy’s an antisemite? this guy? next you’re gonna tell me elon musk is in the epstein files

I sometimes wish the Democratic Party in Congress consisted of any 260 people in the Minneapolis telephone directory rather than the 260 dignitaries now representing us.

MELANIA has been nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography in the FIFA Oscars

More than a year in this has mostly gone as I feared, and in some ways has been worse. But there have been two contrasting surprises: -- The speed and breadth of institutional capitulation -- The courage, ferocity, and resolution of regular people Our strength isn't our institutions. It's us.

“in theater” is a crazy way to describe minneapolis

I just backspaced to delete a hyphen three times as it sat there laughing at me because I didn’t realize it was a crumb on my iPad screen. On the other hand the mini pain au chocolate I just ate that created it was worth it.

Kristi Noem is a cabinet secretary, the same level as say Secretary of State. In case anyone doubted that Stephen Miller is running the Trump Presidency, even Noem thinks he is, because in title he’s only a deputy policy advisor, who she wouldn’t be taking orders from if that were really his role.

I don't think this is accurate. Weiss is extremely committed to violent zionism and the dehumanization of Palestinians. that core hatred fuels her embrace of the MAGA right and of other fascist bigotries.

“A mom in a van threw maple syrup at me!”

It's not just that these professional politics observers somehow failed to spot the obvious rise of American nativist thuggery. It's how much energy they devoted to arguing the real problem was the volume, tone, and vocabulary of those raising the alarm about it.

Alex Pretti was already restrained when federal agents shot and killed him in Minneapolis, a New York Times analysis of video shows. The footage contradicts the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting.

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

The victim should've shouted "I have a gun!" do you hear yourself congressman sir

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

I'll say yet again: Trump & his party do something virtually every day that constitutes a more violent & alarming suppression of speech than anything that happened during the entire alleged tyranny of woke. Every day. Yet the entire Free Spech army has just vanished into mist.
