i like dems chances of getting into a 50/50 senate split as well - i just don't know where 51 comes from sadly unless we get a surprise and win in ohio AND texas. or iowa shellshocks everyone.

hell yeah brother

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

I am a single issue voter and that issue is I want the Republican Party in federal prison.

And people on this site didnt want this guy to go thru a primary! Thought it was an insult to even suggest it!

How do we stop Russian drones in European skies? Europe’s anti-drone strategy is like loading a shotgun full of 500 euro bills and shooting into the air. But there is a solution: using Ukrainian expertise ⤵️

Real wages rising for the exact demographics people say they want looked after, and then saying Democrats/liberals abandoned them, is one of the more disconcerting social media trends (on the left) of the last few years.

i'm just so exhausted. i don't know how to deal with this shit for another day let alone a whole nother 13 months and then 2+ years on top of that. i'm so tired of living within the chaos that these psychos create.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Don't you all realize what this means? The right will begin a systematic and extralegal oppression of their political enemies and vulnerable populations. This is the first thing I saw on the news after waking up from a 25-year coma.

ok but objectively, they need to be brought to heel.

How to navigate the complex understanding of who to blame in politics:

Socialists believe that all non-voters are demoralized socialists, so a) any trick that helps them win is legitimate in that it represents the true will of the people, and b) they never have to convince anyone that they're correct, everyone agrees with them already.

evergreen

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

the left was ripping Biden to shreds for inflation as early as 2022, as he was pushing for full employment in the face of bosses howling about labor and product costs. they attacked him for not cancelling student debt, and when he did and the Supreme Court overturned it, argued it was a ruse

headline construction masterclass

💥 Russia: Ukraine makes warfare history — Ukrainian Magura unmanned naval drone shot down a Russian $50 million Su-30 fighter jet with an R-73 Sea Dragon missile over the Black Sea near the Port of Novorossiysk.

Just incredible

Once again, I was left to wonder: was Pete Hegseth signal chatting military attack plans to everyone but me?? Am I the one that’s insecure, or is it his communication practices that are insecure?

lol wait big boy bret also went full mask off antifascist today too

I don't really have anything especially profound to say, but yeah man this is it. They won't obey even the most milquetoast SCOTUS orders and are talking about sending US citizens to foreign gulags. It's happened here.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Amazing. After nearly losing her house, and being locked away in a legal battle for years because of one innocuous line in her last TED Talk, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social returns to the Lion’s Den, and calls out the Broligarchs This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Larry Kudlow brings Rand Paul on his show to make the case against tariffs and hopefully stage an intervention for Trump

These idiots crashed the best economy in the world in less than three months.

"At least we kept some 8 year old trans kid in West Virginia from playing soccer with the girls."

It makes sense, though: the most vicious people are the ones who believe getting ratioed is tantamount to being proven wrong, which in turn makes they themselves deeply susceptible to ideological drift

This is a *fantastic* CNBC appearance by @dkthomp.bsky.social — the kind of thing that more people need to see: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRWs...

Pete Hegseth Calls For Steep Cuts To Number Of Steps In AA Recovery

Every. Single. Time.

GOP Rep. Bacon: "We made a mistake. We passed legislation that gave the president some temporary tariff authorities. I think we should look back and maybe restore the power back from Congress and take away the authorizations."

Himes: "As far as I can tell, we're now on team Kremlin ... the president's chief Russia negotiator, Steve Witkoff, is repeating Russian talking points and participating in a mad cap Signal chat about an attack on Yemen while inside Russia."

Trump is deeply underwater on the economy. In a CNN poll clear majorities are opposed to his attack on the US government. A new Reuters poll show big majorties against his sweaty desires on other countries. Fellow Ds the guy is f-ING up bigly and we need to be far more aggressive now.

Stalin and Hitler killed millions of Ukrainians. Can Putin and Trump even hope to compete?

One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy. “It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

We need to save some smoke for voters. Trump was very clear during the campaign that he planned to settle Russia's war on Ukraine quickly and on Putin's terms. 77 million people voted for him anyway, and now he's following through. American voters sold out our ally.

The time for action is now. Call Chuck Schumer’s office and demand he start mocking Donald Trump by repeating everything Trump says in a dumb guy voice

Stephen Miller on CNN… wow

Bill Bramhall, @nydailynews.com

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

“For his part, Musk claims that he purchased Trump outright by spending nearly $300 million on his 2024 campaign.” - @borowitzreport.bsky.social

🔥 “Wake the hell up.” Former RNC chair @michaelsteele.bsky.social goes in on Elon’s infiltration into the federal government, accessing everyone’s personal info

Captures it perfectly.

Zelenskyy: "I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine. Never."

I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge. We just passed the single most comprehensive rezoning in the US—legalizing multifamily housing up to 6 stories citywide in a Paris style Here’s the details 🧵
