Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

Thanks @durbin.senate.gov. This POS GOP page is wrong, but your failure to represent your constituents has helped them to put out this false equivalency.

Bari Weiss is Tulsi Gabbard with a byline. With distortions, half truths and lies, she is the Vichy voice who fancies herself speaking Truth to Power, when she truly is just someone speaking to a fascist exactly the lies he wants to hear.

it is almost as if someone was promoted beyond their ability

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Listening to David Ignatius explain this and why it’s a win for the dems makes me want to gauge my eyes out. @msnbc.com please interview non white people under 90

Ro Khanna slams spineless coward Chuck Schumer who thought he could hide behind Tim Kaine, Maggie Hassan, John Fetterman and Angus King over their capitulation to MAGA Republicans in the Senate. He needs to get lost.

And then Trump, presumably cheered by the Dems caving after being booed at the NFL game pardoned everyone that helped him attempt the 2020 coup. American politics in a nutshell.

On Tuesday, Americans sent Democrats a resounding message. “Fight for us” “Fight for working class Americans” “Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty” 5 days later, Democrat Senators sent Americans a resounding message. “Nah”

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

BERNIE ON THE *DEAL* with Centrist Dems: “That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.”

Did Dem Senators hear from their big donors in the airline industry to cave without the ACA subsidies?

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Piers Morgan can fuck right off with his Woke is Dead book. And his claim that "liberalism is a form of fascism".

Pouring money into the doomed Cuomo campaign shows that billionaires would rather set their money on fire than pay it in taxes.

Trump has partnerships with Oman, Qatar, UAE, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, India, Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, South Korea, Vietnam, French St Martin and others to develop Trump branded properties. $2 billion from Abu Dhabi in World Liberty Financial crypto, a 60/40 deal with Pakistan. America first?

Dick Cheney is a reminder of those halcyon days when lying to the country to justify a war where 4500 U.S. service members were killed was just about the worst thing we could imagine a vice-president doing

Dems in ARRAY

Pennsylvania retains its 5-2 Dem majority on the Supreme Court. Absolute bloodbath tonight for anti-trans Republicans. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

We have evidence now going back to 2018 that when Trump isn't on the ballot, it's grim scenes for Republicans. And he'll never (lawfully) be on the ballot again.

Might sleeper cell attacks escalate bcs the current inept administration has gotten rid of experienced agents who kept up with said sleeper cells?

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob boss’s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

Mike Johnson describes Trump’s mental decline and unhinged behavior.

The Golden Ballroom could be repurposed in a flash.

There is an obvious authoritarian plan afoot and it’s right in front of our eyes and the American people are too busy or bored to pay attention. It’s spreading across our government like a cancer and if we wait too long it will be too late to defeat it.

Maybe they should watch Russell Crowe’s new Nuremberg movie when it comes out next week. Just some helpful advice.

Did anyone spot moving vans outside the White House recently that could have been used to remove precious, historic furniture, mantel pieces, fixtures, chandeliers, lamps, and portraits from the East Wing to safety?

Declare a fake state of emergency and give extraordinary powers to the President. It is literally how the Nazis seized power.

BlueSky just verified the White House account. I responded by doing the only appropriate thing:

"Technologies purchased by ICE in recent weeks include spyware that can hack into smartphones remotely and cellphone location software that can enable the tracking of a phone’s movements without a court warrant..." www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

These are the same Proud Boys that Donald Trump pardoned. Be peaceful and safe tomorrow everyone.

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes Trump has already checked off.

The Santos commutation is a prelude to a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon. Mark my words.

🇺🇸 “A federal prosecutor who resisted Trump’s demands to bring charges against Letitia James was fired along with her deputy Friday evening…” As @saletan.bsky.social says: Authoritarianism is here. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

Illegally firing the CDC experts while he gets the latest COVID vaccine is really beyond the pale. Marie Antoinette level of vibes.

So a mediocre college swimmer turned far right shit poster is suddenly knowledgeable on international conflict and a reasonable spokesperson on complicated foreign affairs? Obviously not, as she entirely misunderstands the situation completely. Or she lying. Either way, stupid is as stupid posts.

When is this idiot, Riley (Tied for 5th Place) Gaines', five minutes of fame going to be up? I need her to swim back under the rock from which she came.

It was the humanity of Riley Gaines that seems to have been displaced. By inhumanity.

I like this in the 'misdirected outrage, nevermind' form: OMG they caught Letitia James on video accepting a $50k bribe! This is a slam-dunk, own the corrupt libs, she'll never work again, throw the book at her! Oh wait, that was Tom Homan. Never mind.

Where is that $50k ?

Jesus. This guy is vile.

Well, this isn't frightening. At all. 🙄

So @govpritzker.illinois.gov has worked his way under that thin orange skin. Well done, Governor.

“The U.S. military serves the United States, including its citizens, allies, and interests, both domestically and abroad, with a core mission to defend the nation and uphold its policies.” -Not a fucking personal army for the pedophile in the WH.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. (Article III, Section 3, Clause 1)
