More pathetic, weak performance from the CA Dems. Rob Bonta, the state AG, settles with F'book for peanuts. @cademocrats.bsky.social sfstandard.com/2025/12/19/f...

Delicious.

Never forget - "Trump did not get here alone. The high court, led by John Glover Roberts Jr., super-charged him–even though Trump embodies the worst fears of America’s founders." @thelisagraves.bsky.social

Heh @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov what is the party so afraid of in the recent dncc report that you won’t release it? Proof of the institutional failure of the party and leaders? So much for ole’ #dumpchuckschumer strategy of “defeat with dignity.” Starve on no contributions

Where oh where is Captain Willard when Col. Kurtz is in such need of immediate removal.

Reuters: Hackers group ShinyHunter claims it has the personal data and viewing habits of premium users of the sex website Pornhub, and is demanding a ransom not to publish it. Southern Baptist preachers ought to take up a collection.

What is this age assurance bullshit for California @bsky.app You are making up a law that does not exist in the state.

Just a coincidence, I'm sure. 🧐

Why in the world has ADM McRaven chosen to wrap his arm's around ADM Bradley until the facts are out?

My guess is no one will go to jail or be sanctioned for the double+ strike on the boat. Why? Because the Republicans all lack spines and are Vichy co-conspirators and because the Dems are too inept to hone this event into a a fine-edged weapon career-fatal to Drunky Pete and Diaper Don.

Wonder how much convicted, now-formerly-jailed, trump-pardoned drug dealer former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez bribed the #TrumpCrimeFamily for the pardon?? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Another great summary below... 6 minutes....excellent..

Not a single Democratic Senator who voted NO on surrender with strongly worded posts, statements, emails, videos etc has publicly called on Schumer to resign as the Leader of the Democratic caucus. It’s telling. They are all mostly cowards - followers of public opinions instead of being leaders.

🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators. If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.

(🚨) NEW at PROOF: Do I go off here? Yes. Is it warranted? Yes. Do I explain *exactly* why this Senate deal must be seen as the rankest treachery? Yes.

Every @democrats.senate.gov who does not denounce #DumpChuckSchumer and the #CaveCaucus members, and do not support removing Schumer from leadership must themselves be removed at primary time and replaced. Those who sit silent while The Schumer Losers buff 47's shoes must be held accountable.

Giving pardon powers to the single person was a relic of Kings, and ill-conceived. Mercy and clemency should be part of any system of justice. Perhaps a panel of retired judges would be better. At least they would be likely to be less political, or use pardons as a political patronage system. /1

Here they are…

Indeed. Until progressives in the Senate Democratic caucus directly challenge Schumer’s leadership it’s kind of hard to take their grousing seriously at this point. They are all in on this #SchumerSurrender politics.

Schumer MUST be removed. Any other Dem would be better than this Neville Chamberlain coward.

@democrats.senate.gov , you dumb fucks, here is merit badge for being losers. #dumpchuckschumer

You should call for new leadership in your party. Unless you do that this no vote is just performative and your words are meaningless as you keep being a “team player.” Enough of this kabuki.

Exactly this - the “no” votes from within the Senate Democratic caucus will be kabuki as there will be performative outrage from few who don’t have any desire to be challenge Schumer and leadership for the sake of being “team players”

How can one tell that @schumer.senate.gov’s fingerprints are all over another surrender to Trump/Republcians? The 2 key Sen Dems driving this deal - Masto and Peters - are former DSCC chairs. So don’t fall for it if Sen Leaders take show vote against it. They all own the #SchumerSurrender

@democrats.senate.gov #DumpChuckSchumer for his #SchumerSurrender ... Dems do no deserve leadership because they know nothing about exercising power as nastily as need to delivered to destroy the foe GOP. Senate Dems who protect #dumpChuckSchumer must be removed.

If the Senate Dems keep #DumpChuckSchumer after this debacle, the Dems deserve to continue losing elections... it is that simple. The failing Dems do not know how to wield power. Starve them at the contributions box.

The air traffic control slowdown? It is intended to bully the American public and the Dem "leadership" [cue the Neville Chamberlain theme song] into caving and giving the 47th diaper what he wants. This is a war. Fight like it is one #dumpchuckschumer and #dumphakeemjeffries GOP must surrender.

Trump will not leave office voluntarily. The GOP and Trump will go to any length to maintain control of Congress next year. I won't say that either of these is 100% certain, but it's close.

Surprised Trumpski would look so fat when meeting with his superior and handler.

East wing demolished.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Reading this, I started to wonder who at the @theregister.com was emulating @quinnypig.com's voice. Turns out he can't be imitated. 😉 #AWS www.theregister.com/2025/10/20/a...

"If you cannot trust the [NYT] to be honest about the president [of the US] posting a depiction of himself dropping a load of literal shit on the American people, you can never trust the [NYT] to fully detail Trump's misdeeds." @jamisonfoser.bsky.social www.findinggravity.net/the-new-york...

There is a reason why so called impartial (traditional corporate) media platforms keep losing their credibility and they keep taking the wrong turns to fix the problem w/ more corrosive/destructive impact on the traditional media landscape writ large.

This is some lineup.

Trump commutes George Santos’ prison, saying he was moved by Santos’ account of being in solitary confinement. A reminder: many people are left in solitary confinement all over the county, sometimes *for years*, without a direct connection to the president. Some of their voices:

So 47 commutes George Santos' prison sentence. Good lord.
