Actually, one more point. Driving up to Snoqualmie Pass in the snow is a privilege. Don't have snow tires? Or snow chains? Or a 4WD? Or a car at all? Then you're SOL. A bus levels the playing field and opens the snow to everyone. Let's get it done, Metro.

lol good job Susan

If you’re seeing this viral claim that Trump is working on 15-year car loans, it’s fake.

🚨🚨 Just in: Katie Wilson has taken a narrow lead in the Seattle mayor race.

Woohoo! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social now leads the Seattle mayor's race by 91 votes!

Reopening the government (in part) to fix air travel before the holidays only for the Orange god king to fuck it up anyways

The solution here is to replace old, tired Democrats who do not want to fight with new, fresh Democrats who do want to fight. Everything else is a distraction at this moment.

Likewise: anyone who says "Time to kick moderates out! Their day is over!" Plenty of more moderate voters and politicians hate the Surrender Caucus nonsense. It's not a left-center thing and people who try to turn it into to one are trying to exploit the moment to win a factional battle.

One thing we need to be very careful of is that a lot of people want to use Democratic discontent to build power for themselves rather than to strengthen the left-of-center opposition for Trump. If someone proposes a new party, this is probably what they're doing.

This is what's so aggravating — yes, it was not working in extracting a policy concession but it was working in *driving down trump's numbers and provoking GOP infighting* which is what's important if you take Dem rhetoric about the perils of MAGA remotely seriously.

When we do this again in about 90 days

All judgments of the effectiveness of midterms strategy must be considered in the context of Trump doing a YMCA dance party while under federal indictment & winning the popular vote

It is fucking insane to me that senate democrats bailed him out

like this is basically it, the melts melted under pressure

A Quick Take on Team Cave’s Big Win talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-qui...

I think tonight shows why “moderate to win elections” is a real risk the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus don’t fight but it’s not a coincidence that basically everyone in the “don’t fight” camp is a moderate

This has to be the demand - not just a unfocused "fuck the cavers", but a focused demand to replace Schumer with someone who has already proven up to the moment. I will be making regular calls to have Schiff and Padilla demand this, and the more of us that do the more real it could be.

The Dem base wants the shutdown to continue because it’s the only time we’ve felt like our electeds were representing us: trying to squeeze the GOP instead of squeezing us to accept concessions; directing their anger at the Republicans instead of at their own voters for wanting them to resist

Really seeing once again, it seems, that the real divide in the Democratic coalition is not left/lib/moderate or anything like that. It's the fight/no-fight divide. And the 'fight' dems are the ones winning elections.

Here's who decided to surrender in the Democratic caucus and let Trump and his minions walk all over them: Kaine, VA (2030) Shaheen, NH (Retiring) Hassan, NH (2028) Fetterman, PA (2028) Durbin, IL (Retiring) Cortez Masto, NV (2028) Rosen, NV (2030) King, ME (2030) Next election is in parentheses

Even the senators who are retiring and think they won't have to face the wrath of furious Democratic voters should know that their last name is about to become so toxic that not even a goddamn nonprofit is going to want you on the board.

I don’t give a rats ass about the resistance in the GOP caucus, your mission is to punch through them where our healthcare credit and SNAP objectives are, this is such a fucking side show, weve had an entire base ready to go for a year and your standing there with your foot in your dick

committing to battle and then choosing to give up is just bad practice

let’s be clear here 1. its not all Senate Dems 2. The most fucked thing is a lot of them doing this are actually retiring

truly, do senate moderates wake up every day with a horse kick to the head?

very telling how we never get stories about republican senators sweating the consequences of the ACA tax credits ending

I've personally seen a range safety NCO Goldberg-style spear a soldier who was *accidentally* flagging people at a shoot house This shit would get you skull fucked by any competent NCO. Right to the wood line, no hesitation

Me when Will Stancil says something technically correct but extremely inflammatory to rile up a group I dislike: hell yeah, this is awesome Me when he does the same to a group I'm a part of: wtf, this sucks!

people in the past didn't have to worry about how nutritious their food was because they were more preoccupied with eating enough obesity and its related health consequences is evidence that people are much richer in the modern day

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

And the Admin is handing you Bovino on a silver platter to be the face of this You absolutely want to be shifting the messaging to how BP are the ones tear gassing suburban streets for fun and that at an absolute bare minimum Bovino needs to be in a jail cell come 2029

AHAHA SUPREME COURT SAYS TOUCH THE STOVE

Welp, turns out I was wrong and Schumer really is just a fucking idiot. Everybody who was dunking on him yesterday who I called a cosplaying dipshit, I am open for mockery

Total American cultural victory

in the same sense is that Nazism was an attempt to construct a universe in which the war propaganda of WWI was true, Trumpism can be understood as an attempt to construct the reality which Fox describes. in that reality, every recipient of food stamps is a jobless Black woman with nine kids & a Dem.

Media needs to do better. A person driving a car killed these people, the car didn't just randomly do it. That's horrific and intolerable.

Media when the GOP vice president of the United States is in group chats with teenage groypers: I sleep Media when random Dem senate candidate follows women on Instagram: real shit

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Batman, my brother in christ, walk away.

Are we invading Poland

Trump had an incident and just danced around to YMCA for half an hour and the press covered it as “that zany Trump, he’s at it again!”

Did SPD solve all of the violent crime, property crime, traffic violence, and clear case backlogs in the city that they have capacity to do other agencies’ administrative work?
