Opinion | It's time for eight brave House Democrats to step up and block the release of the Epstein files. by John Fetterman and Tim Kaine

Accurate as fuck

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.

You just know all week Musk has been walking around work holding a book like he can't stop reading in between tasks lmao

the angry base has been right and the savvy "calm down" caucus has been wrong every step of the way for the last 10 years

Even if an extension of the ACA credits were to get 60 votes in the Senate, there is no guarantee whatsoever that Mike Johnson will allow a vote on that language in the House. The Speaker alone controls what comes to the floor.

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Democrats stay losing when they try their bullshit “vote blue no matter who” schtick. Not only is it a permission structure to prop up awful candidates, it also depresses turnout because shaming voters into voting dem will never be as powerful as exciting voters to vote dem.

Much like 2024, Democrats seem to think there’s a binary choice in the 2026 election between voting for Republicans (evil) and voting for Democrats (feckless). They rarely acknowledge the third option which inevitably harms them the most: staying home.

Strip their committee assignments

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Simply not being one of the democrats that betrayed the party isn’t enough. All democratic senators need to publicly shame and insult their colleagues that voted with the GOP. Those senators should not get to be comfortable at work anymore.

if democrats want to retain any amount of integrity they need to immediately vote out chuck schumer as party minority leader

The “vote blue no matter who” people own this type of shit. When you don’t demand anything from your politicians, they feel free to absolutely fucking suck at their jobs.

I truly don’t know how you look at the past week and THEN decide THIS is an appropriate — let alone the right — response.

We’re 1-8 and Shough earned this drive. Let the man throw it cmon..

One of the zillion reasons the wealth levels we’ve allowed in this society are so problematic. Bezos is running this paper straight into the ground and it will cause him zero problems. Rich people can use their wealth to destroy important parts of society and it costs them nothing.

Elon has never experienced this and neither have his biggest fans but now they can create these visuals with the help of a computermachine

If you get access to someone asking for your vote please ask them what their plan is for these people

Do it, Alan. Do it now.

"The Saints are sending a 6th round pick in order to get the Chargers to take him"

The Chargers are acquiring Trevor Penning from the Saints, per source. Offensive line help for Los Angeles at the buzzer.

Periodic reminder that ICE and DHS agents are the scum of the Earth

Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings and sexual assaults in several states, warns an FBI bulletin to law enforcement agencies issued last month. The bulletin urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

For a player that was leaving at the end of the season, I like this.

"I can still smell the onions and the mustard."

I'm cool with what we saw from Shough, but honestly I'm more side-eyeing Kellen Moore than anything else. Told myself I won't form an opinion on him till halfway through next season but he does have me scratching my head a bit sometimes..

even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim

Juwan making sure Tyler gets his first NFL touchdown pass ball 🫡 #ForTheCelly | @budlight

If the Saints can get Tyler Shough or Spencer Rattler to play every drive as if it’s the last one right before halftime they will have a franchise QB

Kellen, my guy, let’s table this idea until our offense shows life lol

Morning Break: Tyler Shough become the ninth Saints quarterback to start since 2020

I just got this feeling Shough is gonna look good. I’m not expecting it, it’s ok if he just looks like a 2nd round rookie. But I dunno I just want to be optimistic about the saints for the first time since 2018 lol

The Bills were one of the teams that inquired in recent weeks about Saints WR Chris Olave, sources say. New Orleans is still expected to retain Olave, while Buffalo is making calls on other receivers, including Jakobi Meyers. What I’m hearing: www.nytimes.com/athletic/676...

It was only a matter of time

If this defunding mechanism is effective, it will be used to seize federal control over all aspects of health care. Give us access to patient records or you’re defunded. Hold mandatory prayer services for staff or you’re defended.

Their new plan same as the old plan: fuck you.

Can't wait to see what Moore's vision is here. This is the guy he wanted so I'd imagine we're going to see the offense he's been wanting to run now.

Even if Tyler Shough doesn't work out I'm still enjoying the season so much more than DA/Carr seasons lol

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

Will be interesting to see if the run game opens up more now if opposing defenses start being more worried about the deep passes

The best thing about watching the Carr to Rattler to Shough evolution is seeing people making/dismissing the same exact arguments depending on if it’s their guy playing lmao
