American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Caving on the shutdown won’t make you “moderate.” It makes you WEAK! Giving Republicans what they want for NOTHING more than a “promise” of a vote and risking millions of Americans’ healthcare isn’t compromise—it’s surrender and it’s the most RADICAL thing you could do in this moment. 1/

Democrats who care about the country should not just vote no on this terrible capitulation to Trump and MAGA. They should demand a change in Dem leadership in the Senate and support primarying these folks who so clearly are not up to the challenge our country faces at this moment.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Pour one out for all the rich Republicans who threatened to leave NYC if Mamdani won. Enjoy Tennessee or Arkansas-- I'm sure it will be very fulfilling and the social life will be totally comparable!

I think about this often these days. "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: there must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”— Wilhoit’s Law

This Catrina had something to say. #EpsteinFiles #DiadelosMuertos #SantaAna

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own. Pathetic.

YES on Prop 50!

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

really can’t say enough about how mike johnson is a sniveling little coward of a man. a bayou-bred pushover with a dignity deficit that would embarrass renfield

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

Video taken one hour ago outside the Portland ICE facility of the violent insurrectionists in question

If ICE agents want to stop being compared to Nazis and the Gestapo, here are some tips for them: 1) Take off your masks 2) Identify yourselves 3) Stop disappearing innocent people off the street 4) Avoid shooting women, like you did today, you fucking Gestapo Nazis

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos. Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.” Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel. That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

Anyone with more info on this? My husband and I are planning to go. #BoycottDisney. #DisneyBoycott

The Nazis did not tolerate ridicule

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

RIP to #Maru #mugumogu the original social media sensation cat from Japan. Born the same day in May 2007 as our beloved Charlie. May your Rainbow Bridge be forever filled with beer boxes, clear bowls, swings, and even the occasional Japanese macaque.😿❤️

Hang onto this image of CDC's full list of underlying conditions tied to severe risk of COVID. If you're an adult aged 18-64, RFK Jr. is now making you show some proof of one of these underlying conditions in order to get a COVID vaccine.

They’re gonna turn people over to ICE. Just don’t use their trash at all. It’s bad for your brain and they’re an evil company.

This administration and its supporters have no values, no morals, no principles other than adherence to Trump and seething hatred for anything not-Trump. A despicable pedophilic predator is a hero if not-Trump opposed them. They are less than human.

"It’s statements like these from Mr. Colbert that have rankled many rightwing fundamentalists over the years because they can’t simply claim he’s being inaccurate or even particularly judgy."

Re-upping this for no apparent reason

1. The President of the United States has raped multiple girls. 2. And multiple women. 3. We knew this before electing him over a wildly competent woman in 2016. 4. And again in 2024. 5. This is one single story about our profound hatred of girls & women. 6. It’s killing us. #EpsteinFiles

No predictive model could foresee this degree of national self-sabotage – an act of willful decline that transcends political theory.

The Trump administration is kidnapping and trying to deport American citizens who look “foreign.” No warrant. No due process. No rights. Americans voted for cheaper eggs, not for a night of broken glass. #MAGAKidnappers

Our 3rd rally of the day, Anaheim, seems like close to 10,000 people. Everyone has been peaceful and no problems. Orange county represents! We're united and there are more of us than there are of them!

Laguna Hills and Dana Point rallies both had THOUSANDS of people! PCH was lined for MILES just for the DP rally. So proud of our communities.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.
