me yesterday: look, Chuck Schumer is an incompetent dipshit, but somehow he’s played the shutdown semi-functionally because his opponents are even stupider today: you fool, you idiot, Chuck Schumer has only appeared vaguely competent because his caucus actively revolted should have known better

They have had 15 years to think about an alternative to Obamacare and the alternative is

oh my god lmao

I saw the Washington Post editorial on redistricting today and this is my official response.

you know what we can replace all of them

This conversation between ChatGPT and the young man it encouraged to commit suicide is just...my god www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

based. sort of feels like Obama for America but on a smaller scale if they had rolled it into a broader mobilization campaign

Rep. Mike Simpson R-ID ignores Democrats on the floor and adjourns the House until next Monday. Adelita Grijalva was elected on Sept. 23 and still has not been sworn into office.

DOGE cut a bunch of stuff that is incredibly cheap in terms of government budget but wildly effective in terms of saving lives. it is literally the least sympathetic possible program to make this argument in defense of

who was it who said Elon went full MAGA because the Biden administration held an event for green energy and didn’t invite him because of all of Tesla’s labor issues

how much in state funding does Cornell receive from New York and why should it not be $0

It’s not that Jay Jacobs is too moderate or not progressive enough, which is how he defends himself, but rather, he’s a prick who’s bad at his job.

the good news is someone in the Trump administration is complying with multiple court orders to fully fund November SNAP benefits

this and you need to index it to something reasonable so you don’t have to do it again

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel. Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire. Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year. Glad everything worked out for them. How about you?

Pretty sure 42 million starving Americans counts as a catastrophe

look are we going to talk about the fact that Trump is completely unintelligible at some point

40 billion to Argentina. 40 billion.

Virginia's Senate Majority Leader confirms to Bolts that Virginia Democrats intend to move the constitutional amendment that'd allow for a mid-decade gerrymander in January. Says it is “going to be one of the first orders of business."

Jackson's dissent, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan, says the evidence showed that gender-incongruent passports led to humiliating, invasive searches of trans Americans (including strip searches) since their gender marker didn't align with their appearance. The policy is both cruel and irrational.

NEW: On the shadow docket, the Supreme Court lets Trump resume misgendering trans Americans on their passports, claiming "the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

“Sandwich guy” tells me it was “heartening” to get so much support from his fellow Washingtonians but that he’s “not comfortable” with the “hero” narrative. I asked him if he thought DC residents were registering their dissent by finding him not guilty, he said “perhaps.”

straight-up jury nullification. this guy did it, confessed to it, and the jury instructions explicitly said that if he did it intentionally, it was assault.

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

Michigan Senate President Pro Tempore @jeremymoss.bsky.social (D), author of a bill to unmask ICE agents in the state, responds to a Republican's concerns about ICE agents getting threatened by mentioning that state legislators still do their jobs publicly despite threats against them.

Illegal impoundments are so important to Republicans that they’re insisting on language that would prevent GAO from suing. How can you make a budget deal when one side insists on the ability to ignore that deal?

#tbt sorry we missed this, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

The biggest uncalled election is the SEATTLE mayoral race. Mayor Bruce Harrell leads Katie Wilson by 11,183 votes (or 8.2%), with 137K ballots counted. Why is this not over? Here's what we know. ⬇️

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

lol r u kidding me

A shrewd political strategist, California Rep. Nancy Pelosi has had an unprecedented career in Congress. First elected in a special election in 1987, Pelosi went on to become one of the most effective leaders of the Democratic party. n.pr/4oNT0F6

“What I lack in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience,” Mamdani said, in a conciliatory tone.

Lindsey’s tenacious bravery in speaking out against Cuomo’s treatment of women was the first domino that helped bring us to last night’s victory. I’m proud to call her a friend and a fellow Democratic Socialist.
