Democrats are the New York Jets of legislating

We're in the "raping young teenage girls isn't pedophilia" part of the cope from MAGA. These people are evil.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Help mom I’m being bullied by 87 year old novella writer Joyce Carol Oates again can you pick me up

The Democratic establishment:

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

For a sitting U.S. senator to say on live TV “standing up to Trump didn’t work” … man, I don’t know

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart. If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

We might not get affordable health insurance but at least the end of the shutdown will give the ultra rich more wealth ensurance.

People aren’t going to suddenly stop hating Trump, but this is the kind of shit that depresses the base and you need a fired up base.

even if they don’t get enough votes to cave, they flinched. they showed republicans they’re too soft to hold out much longer. anyone who was even considering a yes deserves a primary

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.

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.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

Chuck Schumer's office number is (212) 486-4430. They open tomorrow at 9am EST. Call and tell them what you think.

This dude popped up in my mentions yesterday to insist that there were 50 million undocumented immigrants in the country, of which 25 million had entered under Biden, and you just have to realize that these people just make things up and then demand we change the world to accommodate their fictions.

habs/avs cup final but avs have to only wear the nordiques getup the entire series #gohabsgo

looks like senate dems are folding on the shutdown in exchange for a doomed vote 40 days from now and nothing else

ughhh I need to study maths but I have no energy for it

more will come, this is the obvious side effect of massive legalization and pushing of sports betting/prediction markets

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Lower the maximum wage.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Nightmare employee experience and speaking personally, nightmare customer experience too. Fuck off Target. Fix your DEI policies, pay your employees more instead of regulating their emotions, then apologize for 10 years. Until then, eat boycott bitches!

I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this. Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage. Let people find joy where they can, please.

mr president sir finally some good news sir, you can keep starving americans sir

Humanity is doing great The most evil American is the President of the United States The most evil man ever to become a US citizen after years of living here illegally will become the world's first trillionaire And the center of global democracy, the White House, will soon host an MMA cage match

Oh, this is wild. DOJ went to SCOTUS *before* we got the First Circuit's administrative stay denial. (We know this because DOJ just filed a letter at SCOTUS about the admin stay denial.) So, DOJ went to SCOTUS b/c the First Circuit did not meet its less-than-seven-hour "deadline" for a ruling.

food is a human right, full stop. this is another feather in their hat of inhuman, violent actions towards the majority of Americans.

two giallo films ive been meaning to watch, BACK TO BACK! #thelastdrivein #mutantfam

Zohran Mamdani's victory is a good reminder that Donald Trump is not actually that popular the Democrats could have easily won the 2024 presidential election and chose repeatedly to make the worst unforced errors instead

I just want to remind everyone that this is a statewide mandate, unencumbered by maps.

“tom homan is a bitch” is a winning message

JUST IN: California voters have approved a ballot measure to redraw the state's congressional map to favor Democrats, marking the party's biggest victory to date in a national battle over redistricting ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Hasan Piker on Zohran Mamdani winning "If it didn't mean anything, why do you think all the forces of capital are using every fucking tool they have at their disposal to go against this dude? They understand the danger of giving the working class a crumb of fucking hope."

rip dick cheney, you wouldve loved the illegal war in south america we’re about to start

Trump and Musk, literally the two worst people in the country, just endorsed Cuomo. Just waiting for Stephen Miller to chime in.

“Oh poor people can buy popsicles with food stamps” shut the fuck up the government gives perverts a trillion dollars in government money each year for pervert factories for billionaires the fucking popsicles are none of your fuckin business
