So, you know how people say stuff like, "just repost this & you'll have supported journalism"? But this time... it's literally true! Russ has offered to donate to Bolts for each repost this ⬇️ gets or each follow @boltsmag.org gets—up to a sum way higher than we're at. let's make this go viral!

Im planning on contacting Ford and Stellantis and asking if their CEOs agree with the racist comments spoken by Trump when they were standing behind him in the Oval Office today. Join me. www.ford.com/help/contact... secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media... @indivisible.org @leahgreenberg.bsky.social

Is there a better feeling than the cat having a grand old time with the toy you just bought for them?

So a few things: 1) The initial boat strike was illegal; 2) The two survivors were trying to continue their drug run by clinging to wreckage?! 3) The initial boat strike was illegal.

Crypto Leaders Call For Infusion Of 20 Million Dopes To Stabilize Market

I think I’m going to eat nothing but pie this week. Pie for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What could go wrong?

A lot of transphobic whataboutism is just straight up trying to make being a bigot sound like a legit position asked in good faith. Nope, same old horseshit.

I love it when little garbage cats develop the luxury of food snobbery. Yes he was tiny wet ball of fleas found in a ditch but now he's a velvet prince who wants the premium, organic, grain-free chicken in gravy, NOT the premium, organic, grain-free chicken au jus how dare you offer that garbage.

I am neither thused nor enthused.

A full accounting should’ve happened after Trump‘s first term. And yet nobody even tried. He got away with everything and just laid plans for a second term that would be even worse.

what a day

Unrelated to the thread, but HST's obituary of Nixon always reminds me of my late father-in-law, who also really hated Nixon, long after Nixon himself had died.

Thanks for the clarification.

Apropos of no nepo baby in particular, nobody who opposes DC statehood should win a Democratic primary for Congress

Was she watching the McLaughlin Group in a constant state of arousal

i’d be more comfortable with the olivia nuzzi coverage if every story was headlined something like “seduced by a guy who eats roadkill: the story of an extremely stupid lady”

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

Faint but noticeable to the naked eye, but pretty dramatic when photographed.

I’m appreciating some of the more measured takes on the Senate capitulation but I think that some are missing the “last straw” nature of the reaction. The Senate Democratic caucus has a long history of disastrous capitulation. Look at Schumer’s Yes vote on the Iraq War and now he’s the leader.

Is it called blockchain because they deny all the claims

In its limited, cabined, semi-nuked-and-therefore-always-potentially-further-nukable contemporary state, the filibuster has become the Senate's dark matter, at once powering and obscuring behavior on both sides.

Looks like it might be an awkward Thanksgiving at the Shaheens. I’ll note this statement does not name any of the Democrats involved in the deal she is criticizing.

I think a lot of Senate Democrats love the filibuster, and were deathly afraid that the Republicans were going to kill it, because it gives them an easy excuse for doing nothing when they control the chamber.

Caving for nothing means that Democrats are the ones responsible for the shutdown because they could have taken this shit deal weeks ago.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

We’re all agreed that Stefany Shaheen will not be the Democratic nominee in NH1, right? And that Maggie Hassan will be spending a lot more time with her family at the end of her current term?

Just called and left messages for #Shaheen and #Hassan. #nhpolitics

@shaheen.senate.gov is about to flush her daughter's political career down the drain. Granite Staters will never forget your selling out to Republicans. #NHPolitics

Look, here’s the deal. 1 (one) Empire of Dirt. Take it or leave it.

The New York State government should not provide funding to a university that has signed a contract agreeing to actively violate NYS law, on behalf of the Trump regime – and it's very difficult to see how Cornell going Jim Crow (again) would not so violate those equal rights provisions.

Seems like a political layup for Governor Hochul to open an investigation into this agreement, especially given this week's election results. Also, I think by now it's starting to dawn on some folks that many University administrators would love nothing more than to stop caring about diversity.

THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS

The crash outs happening on Twitter over Zohran Mamdani are the latest reminder that I will not take any journalist or pundit seriously if they spend time hanging around that cesspool and engaging with the absolute weirdos over there. It's a one-way ticket to Brainrotville.

Looking at some of the close mayoral and special election races that did not go Ds' way in NH last night after what appears to be a huge blue wave nationally, I am once again renewing my call for Someone Else —Anyone Else, really—, to lead the NH Democratic Party. #nhpolitics

Good morning to everyone who voted in some small local election yesterday, even if you thought it couldn’t make a difference. This country is celebrating you today!

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

sealing my servants inside my tomb if Mamdani wins

I’m glad that person waited until I had a chance to call them an anti-Muslim bigot directly before blocking me.

You told me you got a raspberry pie and I show up and it's little fucking computer?
