Imagine being Sotomayor & Jackson reading all these headlines, and thinking back to this exchange

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Polarize the shit out of this. Polarize the shit out of this. Polarize the shit out of this. Polarize the shit out of this. Polarize the shit out of this. Polarize the shit out of this. Polarize the shit out of this. Polarize the shit out of this. Polarize the shit out of this.

Why did we vote in the insane man. We could've voted for a not insane person!!!

Servicemembers are SUPPOSED to disobey ILLEGAL orders. It's why they swear an oath to the Constitution and not the president. (Sorry for the typo)

Durbin literally out there hanging with murderers

psst reminder to book your appointments for flu and covid shots if you haven't already. just do it right now it takes two seconds ok xoxo

It might be in the form of a beautiful bird that lands in a branch outside your window. It might be an unexpectedly warm day in November. The 2,000 dollars is a state of mind, man. It’s a vibe.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.

Let's start calling it the "Trump Murder Memo." #TrumpMurderMemo

"That about-face, as much as any action Ms. Bondi has taken this year, demonstrated the near-complete breakdown of the Justice Department’s traditional independence to prosecute cases based on facts and the law, as opposed to presidential fiat." The rule of law is breaking down in front of us.

I’d say that the imposition of this administrative burden is a solution in search of a problem (fraud and abuse, not a systemic issue), but it’s really a solution to a different problem: Poor people being able to exist with basic dignity.

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

Dems should promise not only to prosecute the Trump family for enriching themselves at the expense of the country but also to use the tools of government to seize the wealth they’ve illegally accrued during his presidential terms. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/w...

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

“Dear diary i wonder what Bobby angry throat ass up to this morning”

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

I never knew that my emails, filled to the brim with complete sentences and a coherent narrative, were such a work of art. I'm bout to start printing these out and hanging them on the walls.

can’t wait to tell my students in the middle of class, “hold on—gotta email the chancellor before I can answer your question“

Today is the 9th anniversary of the day Maggie stole an entire pecan pie and got drunk from all the sugar. Happy Purloined Pecan Pie Day from our family to yours!

This is sometimes Fetterman would say on Fox

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

two possibilities, both impossible to dismiss: 1) The Trump White House views the Epstein files as such a threat to its survival they must be discussed in a secure room 2) Leavitt has no idea what the situation room is and thinks its just a figure of speech

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

1. Trump is in the files. 2. Trump spent time with the victims and understood their relationship to Epstein & Co. 3. Epstein and Maxwell couldn't understand why Trump wasn't "barking" about what he knew, and wanted to keep it that way.

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

And it's THREE YEARS after the disastrous deal from Alex Acosta. They are discussing their personal knowledge in context where they think they are immune from further prosecution. This isn't an "allegation"; this is an admission by co-conspirators.

Reading this first point in conjunction with the filibuster fetishism, I think fundamentally there are a number of Senators who don't want to do the work of legislating (either from laziness or fear).

welcome to bluesky. if the word "mapquest" means anything to you and/or you used it as a verb, you're in the right place

In my old town the GOP had run basically without serious challenge for decades. A bunch of us "millennials" joined the local Dem party and basically asked to help. We were running it in a year. Within 4 years we had a majority of town seats flipped Dem. A FAR more progressive Dem than old party

(1) The vote doesn't mean anything if it is destined to fail. (2) Big chump energy

i think the argument the cavers should’ve made/should make is “i couldn’t let people starve - we made a run thinking they would fold on aca, but trump really is that psychotic” that’s an argument i think people could respect, but the won’t even make it

Well if Senate Dems won’t shut this regime down, we will! Don’t buy from Target, Home Depot, or Amazon from Black Friday through Cyber Monday. Let’s inflict some pain on those capitulating to Trump.

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

HE'S NOT EVEN UP FOR ELECTIONS FOR FIVE YEARS. NOW IS THE TIME TO TOSS IT ALL TO THE WIND

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

@govpritzker.illinois.gov tell @durbin.senate.gov to retire now. He’s worse than useless. It’s time he’s put out to pasture. Same goes for @duckworth.senate.gov if she doesn’t vote to remove Dick and Schumer from leadership.

This is the same problem that we see when law firms and universities strike “deals” w Trump to stop Trump from doing ILLEGAL things!! That’s not a contract or even a good faith agreement. That’s a shakedown.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

gotta be some ambitious Dems in NV, NH and PA who would be happy to run in a presidential year at the end of a staggeringly unpopular second Trump term get your campaigns ready, folks

Prescient

Durbin is trash. Yes, lots of great stuff in the past. Sure he’s a decent guy. But he’s pure trash now. Important to see that the bulk of Team Cave is made up of people who are retiring.

NO UNANIMOUS CONSENT
