These people hate Democrats so much and yet to hear them tell it, Democrats should be given such expansive powers that they can disqualify candidates for the presidency by fiat.

man, who is the fucking audience for this, impressing the white house can’t improve your ratings that much

Will evidently has never heard of Disaster Fatigue.

sincere respectful disagreement with Will on this:there's not that much further Dems can go on the "alarm" front without either advocating something that gets cracked down on,or looking weak. if they start saying "this is literally Hitler 2," and Hitler 2 stays in power, they can't uncross that line

Yeah, there's a reason I try to talk about the protests I go to & the door knocking I do in NH. I want more people to do it too!

My favorite though is "Hold daily press conferences" because it's painfully clear Mike doesn't know that the Hose & Senate leadership of both parties have been doing that for years now.

After Bukele endorsed Trump's intervention in Venezuela, Senator Ruben Gallego asked if Bukele would be okay if the US invaded El Salvador to extradite him.

She gave permission for screenshots for posterity since she's about to deactivate, so I wanted to preserve these in particular. This is why I was going on about this issue so much last night amidst all of the lamentations in the passive voice. A lot of this awfulness is self-inflicted.

sucks to suck

The thing that's really hilarious about this is that Valens is apparently being harassed for being too pro-furry while Malloy was harassed for appearing anti-furry. It lends credence to the "trans women can do no right" thesis. But also, folks, we're doing this to ourselves.

RE liberals and lefties knowing things about NatSec: When this is all said and done, we're going to rebuild, and Woke 2.0 demands that the FBI and CIA no longer be the territory of Mormon boys who have never had a coffee much less smoked a joint.

CASE IN POINT

Oh look, the horrid transphobic tankie has shown up to troll another social media network.

another filthy Putinist whore

So if Pelota is choosing to run in the Senate when she has a better chance in the Governor race. That means Pelota thinks Democrats have a good chance of winning the Senate either in 2026 or 2028 thus she'll have more influence over the country/state as a Senator

'Batsh*t crazy': Democratic representatives sound off on the White House publishing a website about January 6 that calls the insurrectionists “patriots” and blames officers for the violence. @pabloreports.bsky.social reports.

few industries deserve thats coming there way more than legacy news media

I think if Trump died and Vance took office as president his career would end almost immediately. No more protective bubble, individuals and institutions coming to something like their senses, Vance with no constituency to fall back on

You love to see it.

Meanwhile over in reality pretty much all the Democratic recruits have been bona fide superstars while the republican recruits are loser culty garbage. Couldn't be more opposite if they tried.

Axios adding their shitty little "Schumer wants to recruit his way out of a bad map" comment there at the bottom is yet another good indicator that this is a new org that is aligned with Republicans first and foremost & works to help them win.

every last one of the framers would have seen this for the deeply corrupt tyranny that it is

With this victory, Virginia Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger will continue to have a Democratic trifecta when she is sworn in next week. Congrats, Senator-elect Jones!

Hey shutdown derangers! The government might shut down at the end of the month and republicans can no longer use bribery to starve poor people because Democrats got SNAP funded until September 2026 right before the midterms. You didn't know this because you have been stuck on stupid since March...

FUCK YES, YES, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! www.axios.com/2026/01/06/m...

Once again worth remembering that Trump frequently just says the delusional shit that comes into his brain and that doesnt necessarily mean it happens in reality.

ICE is hiring people with visible Nazi tattoos.

terminally online europeans stop being obsessed with American politics challenge (impossible)

I really think the people pushing this never had friends of different races growing up. I live in a very diverse area and I had friends of different races growing up. It was always weird to go their houses because they did things differently despite being the same class. 1/2

The White House's constant need to rewrite history is a tremendous admission of weakness.

Is there any more discredited concept in 2026 than "class consciousness"

One reason I want a governor to be the D nominee of 2028 is a greater understanding of the visual language of progress. Senators get caught up selling their agenda in process and oratory. Governors love ribbon cuttings and built bridges and fixed potholes.

People vote for enough Republicans that the Democrats don’t have an impeachment majority in the Senate In critical elections for SCOTUS (namely 2016) they elected a television charlatan The voters cannot receive enough blame

… what mechanism do they think exists to do this that’s independent of voters

Our best case scenario is that his pudding brain gets distracted again and he drops this like he did for the last several months. Absent that, none of the non-military options are actually gonna work out for him & in that regard I worry what this increasingly unstable old man will do given that.

i am not *entirely* convinced they are seriously considering taking it by force, but congress (specifically, republican senators) really need to dig their heads out of their asses and behave as if they are serious about it

Reader, you will be shocked to learn that all the things Schumer has "the power to do" are variations on "Write more sternly worded letters" & "Make the fascist media stop being fascist".

this is where i am at: THERE IS NO ONE ELSE. do you want to outsource your military policy to steven miller? no? how about the dc blob? also no? THEN LEARN WHAT THE FUCK HOW TO MILITARY www.breakingbeijing.com/p/there-is-n...

NEW: Washington state Democrats change their tune on redistricting. House Majority Leader Joe Fitzgibbon intro'd a bill today that would put a ballot measure to voters allowing mid-decade redistricting in certain situations. The bill: lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/202...

Trump just says shit.

On one hand, I view him turning more towards foreign affairs as indicative of exactly this, his domestic agenda has basically stalled out. On the other hand, i really wish he wouldn't be paying attention to foreign affairs

It's kinda funny how all of Karl Sad Trombone's supporters have kinda dried up and/or aren't rallying for his reinstation. Seems he was just Kinda Loud and got Kinda Popular, but only among people who were more than happy to move to another Kinda Loud Person. He was propped up, is what I'm saying.

No one was seeking Karl Trombone out for his insights, he was just loud and unhinged. The amplification machine picked up on that, and dropped it into peoples feeds.

just catching up, did we Final Destination the House GOP Caucus

They like Trump and want him to win

So the house sits at 218-213, will be 218-214 after Jan 31st. That's ugly math.

I feel like it's very important to note that the democrats passed piles of bills with a 2 vote margin in the house because for all the hate she gets here, Nancy Pelosi was actually very good at her job (whipping and counting votes) A 2 vote margin for the GOP feels existential
