If the admin weren’t actually so worried about being blamed for it they wouldn’t be hollering so loudly and relentlessly that it’s Dem’s fault

this (from @danpfeiffer.bsky.social) is excellent. voters always blame the controlling party for shutdowns, and that's even when the guy in charge ISN'T historically unpopular.

If you live in these states, your ACA premiums are about to jump: SD - Up 235%
LA - Up 150%
WV - Up 387%
WY - Up 382%
TN - Up 320%
MS - Up 314%
AK - Up 346% Republicans are fighting to make sure this happens to their own constituents.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

this is what it comes down to: we have to fight for what's right. and with all the atrocities of the past 9 months, if we can't message THAT, we deserve to take the hit.

If I’m running messaging, the word on the street is that Democrats are refusing to fund a dictatorship. Either Article 1 means something or nobody gets anything.

The Pete Principle. Newsday.com/matt

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), who voted for a GOP CR in March but opposed advancing today's GOP CR, cites a report showing 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums double if Congress lets the ACA tax credits expire. "Failure is unacceptable" on this front, she says in a statement.

Imagine getting owned this hard by Hakeem Jeffries

Farmers contributed to trade associations to develop soybean export markets over the past couple of decades and then they voted in November to liquidate those markets. It’s really that simple.

this thread started here and landed with a history lesson about egyptian cotton. a literal "today i learned."

"no more superficial individual expression"

a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever

obviously the state of things is grim but i actually took a lot of comfort (not to mention schadenfreude) with the cold reception the generals gave trump and secretary breakfast gin

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted. My story:

Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy is donating $100,000 from his political fund to the progressive organizing group Indivisible — the latest in a series of donations he says total nearly $1 million to grassroots groups across the country taking on the Trump admin. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

I have never seen such a blistering rebuke of a President by a federal judge. He is telling us clearly to stand up for our liberty against a dictator. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We don't talk enough about how mockery and humiliation are tools of resistance. Toss out your obligations to social decorum. Belittle them. They're stupid, ugly, they have ED, no one respects them, whatever. Undercut their claims to authority as often as you can. Make them out to be clowns.

this whole thing is like a renaissance painting

I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.

DAVID CROSS: “.. I’ve been asked for my opinion on the Riyadh Comedy Festival .. it should go without saying that there’s not enough money for me to help these depraved, awful people put a ‘fun face’ on their crimes against humanity.” officialdavidcross.com/blogs/press/...

Wonder why the right is so silent on this guy who murdered a bunch of people at the LDS church 🤔

I would really like an apology now from every last white man who sneered at me and my “hysteria.”

this is why you can’t give an inch to transphobes. they are driven by hate and no amount of kindness will make them even momentarily soften. it is a militant ideology.

imagine the audience potential

This whole section really.

It is important to see this sort of straight talking, precisely because of the executive order last week that conflated criticism of the government with terrorism.

I swear to god there was a time not that long ago when the president's adult son was hounded about his business interests and it was a massive political scandal and there were like whole congressional investigations about it... people don't believe me but it happened!

get this guy an agent, every team in the NFL would kill to have him as a wide receiver

secretary breakfast gin took one to the nads and nothing of value was lost

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

Anyone talking about negotiating with an administration invading their own cities needs to be primaried with the wrath of a thousand suns

in all his gushing praise for adams he left out "congratulations on your presidential pardon for corruption"

reader i cackled

get this guy an agent, every team in the NFL would kill to have him as a wide receiver

lol this feels like such a troll

hero of the fucking week

declaring war on an american city is “stepping over the line” like EF5 tornadoes are “a bit breezy”

Senator: (posting on bluesky) The president told his supporters to prepare for the “Night Of One Thousand Screams.” Might I suggest he instead hold the Night Of One Thousand Bipartisan Discussions Of Job Creation Opportunities

inshallah

once again when i posted this 8 years ago IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE

let’s check in on the everything app

At this point, any Democrat who votes to keep this government open without extracting very serious concessions — RFK’s resignation, ICE rollback, Epstein Files release, etc — will absolutely face a primary challenger who will set fundraising records.
