The difference between MAGA and other cults is the MAGA does house and feed you.

I’ve long thought Trump is good at picking fights that benefit him politically but the fact he’s fighting right now to starve Americans is making me reassess

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This looks like when they were propping people up at funerals to make it look like they were playing video games

We’re going to boo the living fuck out of him. Its insane that he thinks anyone in the DMV doesn’t absolutely hate his fucking guts.

Folks, I can't stand Schumer. In fact, I despise him for his Islamophobia. But he knew the GOP would reject what he offered.

Why wouldn’t you want to talk affordability if you actually made things more affordable?

No matter how hard he tries he cannot gaslight a bank account.

Trump talking about trafficking his press secretary.

People need to calm down on that third term panic. He’s not making it.

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*

people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up

The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime. We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.

Funny because if we had a mayor, Silver Spring would 100% elect the crunchiest progressive in the country.

“Oh no, what will become of the city we hate?”

This video is so cruel. I really thought he was dead for a second there.

Absolutely tracks that the guy who raped his wife to punish her for a bad hair transplant would sue to deny Americans the right to eat because they rebuked him on Tuesday.

Cutting flights because of the govt shutdown is a stunt, plain and simple

Richest nation in human history

It's the first Friday of the month, which means we've gone 2 months now without a jobs report. For Trump, this is a feature of the shutdown, not a bug, since private surveys show the job market slowing dramatically. But without official data he's able to keep lying about it.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel. Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire. Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year. Glad everything worked out for them. How about you?

i think this is a pretty good take on pelosi, who is unquestionably one of the most consequential house speakers in the history of the institution

If social media existed during Obama’s run in 2008 it would’ve torn the fabric of the universe.

Crockett: Marjorie Taylor Greene voted for this point blank period. Her constituents were the ones that were on the receiving end of this.

One of these days those eyes aren’t going to open back up and I think we are owed it happening live on tv

One of my proudest moments in life was getting kicked out of my ex’s parents house because I said, “obviously it’s so sanctified that you have five marriages between the two of you,” when they used the sanctity of marriage argument to excuse their homophobia.

Democrats have been doing a good job holding the line in the shutdown. And the one-two of No Kings protests and electoral wins will add strength to their spine. The American people don’t like what’s going on. They blame the party in charge. Fighting back has more political appeal than appeasement.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Politicians can get away with lying to people for quite a while about a lot of different subjects, but they have never been able to get away with lying to them about how much things cost.

Sincere or not, I respect the fact that she is absolutely trying to burn her party to the ground.

airports tomorrow are going to be such a shit show, trump approval may end up in the teens by next week

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

Also, wtf is happening here? Are they plugging him in at night?

Omg how fucking high is he???

$1 trillion dollars and he’s still a swaggerless bum who’s going to die alone and miserable.

I do hope this site continues to grow because I would love to see more football (soccer) coverage here.

She’s so mad that they boxed her out of that Senate race. A lot of people are finally figuring out that they have a role in helping to advance white supremacy, but no place in the actual power structure.

The slurring is really bad today. Also, as usual, he looks closer to death everyday.

I love how the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the guy in charge of our national well-being, runs away like a cartoon character the moment somebody needs medical help. The other Trump gargoyles at least attempt to look concerned. Kennedy sprints off camera.

Does anyone know of a service in the Silver Spring area that will check in on elderly folks once or twice a day to make sure they’re okay? I’d need it for a week while I’m out of town. Trying to find one online is infuriating.

“Conservative feminism” would hold that there’s no place for woman in the workplace.

Hey yo here’s some blue meat from me on yesterday’s election results. www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

First Dem trifecta in VA since 1989. No big deal though.

How do people see pictures like this and think he’s going to be alive, let alone run, in 2028?

On one hand, I really don’t want to see SCOTUS rescue Trump from himself by rolling back his tariffs, on the other, I kind of relish the thought of him harassing congressional Republicans to pass a tariffs package that would tie them to his disastrous decisions.

Me finding out @zohrankmamdani won. Captured by the great Faraz Ansari

I don’t even think Republicans understand that Trump’s showmanship and pathologies shielded them from people making this very obvious realization. I’m telling you, their party is headed for a steep and sustained decline when he’s not around.

Dawned on me that Trump might be pressuring them to break the filibuster so that he can then pressure them to pass his tariffs when SCOTUS rules against him.
