Just watched my US rep Gary Palmer lie his ass off in defense of Trump's war in Iran, among other things. He says, "I don't deal in politics, I deal in facts," then proceeds to lie about gas prices under Biden.

Can James Talarico truly hope to win in Texas?!

He's truly a powerful man. With the one fat finger he can type out words that disgrace a whole nation and those who gave the most sacred of sacrifices. Such power...

To not quite quote Groucho, "That's the biggest five percent I evah hoid of!"

I spend everyday in the real world suffocated by maga. I come here to breathe.

“The paradox is, the US imposes crippling sanctions while also saying, ‘I’m going to liberate your people.’"

Every situation in which Trump has influence is worsened. Everything he touches withers or implodes. He is a pestilence upon the land.

I agree with this comment in the thread. And I can’t explain to people without children how this economy is different for those of us who do have them. I dealt with ‘08 just fine as a single guy in a medium income area. Not a single ripple in my water from that. 2025-26 has been rough.

Translation: 5 million more people may not be able to feed their children. It's cliche, but this is next level Orwellian BS.

The total value of Trump’s transactions in the first three months of this year—again, $750 million—is higher than the value of all trades by all 535 members of the House and Senate combined in an average year.

I think about this all the time. Literally, the whole world would be a better place today had the senate done its duty. Their utter failure has brought pain and suffering that will ripple across the globe indefinitely.

Quote with a fictional band that is not spinal tap

Blanche also said, "It's not a crime to party with Jeffrey Epstein." There seems to be a pattern here. 🫤

If you want to make money on the stock market, go play investor. If you want to run the country, be serious and get out of the market. It smacks of impropriety and corruption. I think R and D voters agree Congress and the President shouldn't be playing the market.

Britt is not alone in her confusion. Now Tuberville says he has doubts which election is the real one. If US Senators don’t know which one counts, how are voters supposed to? www.al.com/news/2026/05...

Meanwhile in Alabama today dozens of hateful anti-Islam political ads aired promoting good Christian candidates who love gun and Trump. Will men like Jay Mitchell, Wes Allen, Barry Moore, or Tommy Tuberville denounce the violence and change their rhetoric? Doubtful.

This year is bound to be particularly low because of the confusion surrounding the second primary to be held in August. People are likely asking themselves do I need to vote in this primary? Will my district be changed? If I vote now do all my primary choices get thrown out? So many damn questions.

What a grim mentality this administration has, no doubt driven by corruption and greed. They don't believe in optimism and progress, they fear change, and they look to the past for ideas instead of new innovations. They choose short sighted, narrow minded stagnation to preserve their power.

The most inept leader in the world leads the most powerful nation to ever exist. We have skewed badly from the sacred timeline.

I can say this for Alito his ability to be pissy little bitch is unrivaled peerless in the little bitch field

It's glaringly obvious this court has a political agenda. History will not look kindly upon the Roberts court.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

The people who overwhelmingly hold all the power, money, and influence in this country want you to believe they're the ones who have been suffering under racial discrimination. Absurd.

In a stunning act of political partisanship, the Roberts Court discarded its own precedents to green-light a last-ditch effort by Alabama to use a gerrymandered congressional map for the 2026 midterms.

This was always pure fantasy. We think it's a "gotcha", and for any other politician it would be. Trump's base just doesn't care. They believe, stubbornly and foolishly, that he's always fighting for them. When he doesn't succeed there will always be someone or something else to blame.

My 9 year old told me last night "We are the bad guys". And I told him "We are good guys that live in a bad place, surrounded by bad guys. But also other good guys". This MATTERS. The fight isn't over. It began before Selma. It continues now. And it will never truly end. So keep going.

Republicans want permanent dominance by any means, and If Democrats don't start pushing back in a similar way, they may get it.

This court has gone against its OWN decision from just 3 years ago. Nothing even matters anymore. 😒

Name your favorite vampire. Collin Robinson, energy vampire.

Ceci n'est pas une golden calf. Clearly, it’s a photograph of a golden idol that is human-shaped. And definitely not far worse than a golden calf.

I've got a fella on FB trying to tell me that Ledbetter is actually referring to amendment 14 to amendment 448 of the Al constitution regarding budget isolation resolution that Republicans themselves put on the ballot in 2016. 😵‍💫 You can't reason with folks that are this obtuse and deluded.

They're no longer worried about saying the quiet part out loud. 🫤

Trump once again takes a piss on his maga base and tells them it's raining. The worst part? They'll say, "thank you for making it rain, sir."

We have Jay Mitchell campaigning in Alabama for Lt. Gov saying he'll fight "anti-white" discrimination and "Trump derangement syndrome". The premise of everything Republicans are doing is a farce.

"Here is a test for whether or not a system has been enshittified. Identify a problem with a clear solution. Now ask yourself: Is it politically possible to enact that solution? If not, the system is enshittified." Heh.

Twitter employs an algorithm that promotes far-white supremacists. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

Nearly every Republican running for office in Alabama shows themselves shooting or carrying a gun in their campaign ad, are there any other jobs where showing up for the interview toting a gun is advisable? 🤔

Incumbent state senator Jabo Waggoner is so old they won't even put him in his own TV campaign ads. Why can't these elderly folks let go of the power and enjoy what's left of their lives with their loved ones?

It was just him walking to his car and me to mine, but it felt like a much deeper symbolic parting as I watched him walk away.

America’s top prosecutor (promotion pending) said the Southern Poverty Law Center never shared intelligence it gathered from informants with law enforcement. Then the SPLC brought the receipts.  These folks would be so much more dangerous if they weren’t so bad at this.

This ruling feels like the biggest crack yet in a crumbling democracy. A whole politically gerrymandered nation is not sustainable. Congress must act before a gerrymandering civil war destroys us.

If the Supreme Court struck down the VRA in 1967 it’s hard to imagine how the Southern States’ reactions would’ve looked any different than what we‘re seeing now.

In the course of recent research, I have talked with people who use test strips before taking drugs. Specifically I have talked with people who in the past sold drugs, who didn’t want to kill their customers, who test product before they sell it. This policy change will kill people.

With all the chaos and drama of this administration actions like these fly under the radar. It's the death of equality and justice by a thousand cuts America is a boy's club, a white boy's club. This admin. is insuring that. Ask any woman or POC how many times they've been passed over for promotion

Like, is it time to turn America off, then back on again or do we need a factory reset?

I live in a part of America with the highest Black population. I can’t just ignore the reality of my brothers and sisters of color who have been kicked in the teeth by this empire over and over again. Even if it’s not enough, voting still matters.

I remember it was all fun and games when everyone on FB was sharing the "take him to the train station" meme regarding Biden...
