Fundamentally what we have is a culture of elite impunity which spans both parties. The difference is that democrats denounce this but are incapable of fixing it and Republicans embrace it as the way society should function.

Did they find someone to withdraw from the discharge petition?

This is why we are going to have to extradited everyone involved in this to Colombia and Venezuela

Sounds like a man who is eager to have a treaty named after him and a Russian foreign minister ... Chrupalla-Lavrov...

Wait is the road to serfdom not a good thing? I thought we all all agreed to take that road. There was a famous book about it.

"We’re done waiting for Dems to find their spine. We can’t afford a weak & cowardly Democratic Party while the authoritarians invade our cities, terrorize our communities, & threaten our democracy. We get the party we demand, & we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.” — @indivisible.org

There are 8 members of the caucus who are not "united" we all should be working to get the surrender monkeys back on board

Democrats didn't get played ... because they knew this was going to happen. They just gave up. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Either way he shouldn't be the caucus leader and every senate democrats who is not trying to oust him - is also unfit to be a democratic senator

Maybe we can develop a system where the government inspects factories to make sure they are not poisoning babies with substandard products because they cut corners for profit.

I stocked up because I knew this was coming

What's interesting here is that Trump keeps calling it the Democrat Shutdown and the polling showed that people didn't believe it and blamed the Rs, BUT Chuck folding now and getting nothing makes it look like this all WAS a Dem shutdown for no reason at all. Trump wins again because of Schumer

Primary all of them

Don't seek reelection. Someone else should have your seat.

Me: Should I buy EU 5? [Checks notes - I have 2667.2 hours in EU 4] ... thats a deeper question than I wanted to ask ... maybe the real question is ... am I going to buy it before the expansion and mods are out ... because I am probably buying it eventually.

House dems need to promise senate dems in blue states they will do primary challenges for anyone that agrees to this

Is it @erikloomis.bsky.social that writes all the LGM obits?

Fly by the seat of your pants is NOT how you want to run a aviation sector

I managed to convince boomers right wing aunt (in Brasil) that she needs to block people on social media who lie to her (especially about Mandani - she lives in Rio and was very worried about NYC municipal issues). So I am calling this a win.

Is this why MTG is trying to pretend she is sane?

🚨🚨🚨

Trump is about to discover greedflation. We should encourage this.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Add him to the wall of honor

One of the reasons that house republicans feel comfortable voting for insanely unpopular and unworkable policies ... is because they know it wont pass the senate. Ending the filibuster will make a few house republicans less likely vote for crazy things for fear it will pass.

As a former policy debater in high school and college and now an attorney... I reached the conclusion that the only way to win a debate is to have a better understanding of your own position and there is no value in debating someone to try to convince them.

Any sensible reading of the constitution would not put the onus on congress to stop a military action. The president cannot start a war unless congress preemptively says no. That's no how this is supposed to work.

Trump's model for the presidency is Paul from Goodfellas

@chrislhayes.bsky.social yesterday: challenging Golden from the left is insane Golden today Me: we should hound him until he leaves the country

Wondering which of these defenses the Jury agreed with bsky.app/profile/dnlm...

The "fuck your feelings" crowd have always believed that society should make it illegal for anyone to hurt their feelings.

Really curious about what was the last settlement demand made by Plaintiff before trial www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con. Please.

You know congressional Republicans could figure out its hurting them politically too and overrule Trump too... there is even evidence for that proposition... unlike the "its hurting democrats" one

Me finding my inner Andrew Mellon: Liquidated the AI executives, the sahre holders, the bond holders, the server farms, the intellectual property. Purge the entire rot from the economy.

@sharonk.bsky.social Why is Canada hogging all the good Aurora? Is this a trade war thing?

So they are asking to guarantee the bailout up front? Wall Street wont commit the money unless they know they will get a bailout out if it doesn't work? Is that where we are?

Was there a thing that mid western boomers watched as kids that made them think Custer was a hero?

MAGA boss compared Trump to Custer "he just wants glory" Me: you know what happens to Custer right? Boss: Yes Me: you say that like its a good thing

Only way the democratic opinion on Israel changes even slightly is a fall of the Netanyahu government and his coalition partners and being replaced by a progressive and peace focused government with full supportby Israeli jews. The chances for this happening is not 0 ... but probably not 1%.

When Republicans win is because they embody the spirit of the Volk and bring about order. When democrats win is because they rally the undermensch and corrupt the social order. The media only reports the facts.

Going to time travel to 2003 and show this to people

The Protocols of the Bluesky Elders is a conspiracy I can believe in.

All this goat meat talk is putting me in the mood for some jerk goat. .... maybe some goat curry

If anything could unite the people of Nigeria - its this.
