The RFK, jr effect.

What is this “fight” they were returning to? They were on a bombed out boat in the middle of the ocean, maybe with some drugs, with a drone or plane somewhere high above them.

So am I.

Ahem. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

idk maybe pulling the FBI’s counterterrorism experts to raid daycares and Home Depots was a bad idea in retrospect

MAHA update:

A love letter to responsible AI

Uhh

“I’m a Grok guy” is the single most embarrassing phrase ever uttered in the course of human history.

Sheel said these motherfuckers were gonna sell the team or relocate, and she was right

Wag the dog

LOL dude what? Your take is blaming Sheel’s lawsuit for the sale? Unless you know something non-public, the suit remains open. Even if they needed to buy her out, there are tons of paths to resolve ownership disputes that don’t involve selling the franchise. 1/

Seidler family looking to sell the Padres, almost two years to the day after Peter Seidler’s death. (Tomorrow is the anniversary) Is there any way to see this other than confirmation that Peter’s brothers didn’t share his love for the city and team, and only were ever really in it for the money?

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

If you can’t keep your caucus in line on fighting for healthcare, a moral obligation and an 80/20 issue.. you have no business in leadership.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law! That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

As Democrats get their votes lined up and talking points ready, it’s important to remember they’re working together to lessen the fallout from their angry base. In March (see below), Schumer voted to advance the bill but didn’t *technically* vote for final passage. It’s dishonest bullshit.

Jesus Christ, @kaine.senate.gov, getting a pinky promise to hold one single vote on ACA funding is not "a path toward fixing the health care mess" anymore than a lottery ticket is a "path toward fixing my personal finances"

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

in any case it is wild that voters just sent a huge message and a bunch of senate democrats are all, “it doesn’t look like anything to me”

One thing from our piece on Saturday: Sen. Shaheen is leading the Senate cave caucus. She's on the appropriations committee and wants whatever little goodies she got in her appropriations bill passed into law. As we wrote: prospect.org/2025/11/08/w...

I called them both! New Yorkers, so should you (To reach your state's senators, you can always go through the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121)

“Better to lose on our terms than risk winning.”

A strong leader would feel emboldened by last week’s elections. But not Chuck. Decades of experience have taught him that when you feel momentum rising, it’s actually the perfect time to fold. They’ll never see it coming. Can’t coach these instincts.

“We will ruin your Thanksgiving if you don’t let us triple your healthcare premiums”

Sat on a waitlist for 30 minutes to chat with a support agent that is clearly AI. I guess this saves the company AI credits? This is a uniquely 2025 circle of hell.

Preventable illness will become advanced disease. Diagnoses will come late. Treatment be less effective and exponentially more expensive. Those insured will see costs skyrocket as hospitals raise prices to recoup losses on care for people unable to pay. More people will die younger. Golden age!

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

Forgotten reality tv star threatens to fuck the economy harder if Democrats don’t allow healthcare premiums to double.

“mandate”

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does. Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

“We’re fucked in 2026 and the shutdown is our fault”

Gentlemen: thank you for your service.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish. The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

Shoutout to the “nEwScuM diDn’T neEd tO clOsE iT” dipshits.

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

Im dead 😂😂😂

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

UPDATE: COLOMBIA’s President says 🇺🇸 government (Trump) “committed murder” and bombed a fisherman with no ties to drugs “The boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure”

Top 3 No Kings reactions from Nextdoor… 1. Trump is not a king, he was elected 2. A king wouldn’t let protests happen and my personal favorite: 3. Liberals are so dumb they think the US is a democracy. ACKSHUALLY it is a republic. It is fucking bleak out there.
