I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it. All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference. Tanks

"President Donald Trump’s federal law enforcement crackdown has hit a disgusting new low, after federal agents reportedly pepper-sprayed a 1-year-old in Chicago and then lied about it."

i have a theory about this

THE GOOD THINGS CAN HAPPEN CAUCUS IS BACK, MOTHERFUCKERS

chuck schumer has been barred from formally observing this year's lexus december to remember sales event. they can't stop him from standing outside, but he will not be allowed into the showroom and he cannot directly behold the obelisk or participate in the thousand screams

The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.

The days of thanking veterans today and forgetting them tomorrow has to come to an end.

UPDATE — Here are the at least 10 congressional Democrats, 5 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Groceries are cheaper if you do it the right way. First go to the oval office and give the president a fake award and tell him he's very strong and handsome. He will then call the grocery store and threaten them until they give you a discount. It's called the free market

Nothing like a proposal for a modest amount of lower-income housing nearby to find out who your neighbors are.

US senators will say anything. "Standing up to donald trump gave him more power." No it didn't. That isn't true.

Kendrick, Joyce Carol Oates, Menswear Guy, and Isaac Chotiner are the Voltron of People You Don't Want Focusing on You

in a long life filled with saying stupid shit this is may be the stupidest shit he's ever said

This one made me laugh

Study Finds Most Americans Can't Find Where They Are Being Deported On Map

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.

Republicans constantly attack their Congressional leadership, and they remove leaders who fail to achieve the objectives desired by the base. This 'infighting' hasn't been a 'distraction' or 'weakness' for them, it has produced victory after victory, including control of all three branches.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

it is almost as if someone was promoted beyond their ability

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

Schumer et al are counting on you forgetting what they did in about 2 more days. Consider: - barely anyone talks about Musk’s Nazi salute - Hegseth leaked top secret information at least twice and still has his job - Trump destroyed the White House’s East Wing They believe they can outlast the cycle

Bari Weiss is inside the CBS data center ripping out wires at random, trying desperately to find the one that contains woke.

Hit the phones, everyone

There’s a simple solution here: James Bond in Hell. He has sex with the Devil’s wife, kills the Devil by kicking him out of a helicopter, etc.

No, false. This wasn’t about a mere “policy agenda”—pre-Trump shutdowns were, which is also why they were much shorter—it was about egregious lawbreaking. No one explained how it could’ve gone any other way? I did. Just put on the red hat and say you like the serially lying authoritarian, Josh.

This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.

This is why ousting Schumer isn't enough. Democratic senators don't pressure each other much, they have weak leadership by design, and they want to preserve arcane Senate rules that let them hide behind process. Without primaries or massive outside pressure, this is where they'll be.

The worst you can accuse Panorama of doing is making a misleading edit – and I’d dispute that! – to make *a point that was true*. The programme aired without anyone seeing any issues with the edit. It was on iPlayer for a year without complaints. Donald Trump *did* incite Jan 6th.

they are able to peel back the ACA because its a shitty half measure but if we had gotten real universal healthcare instead no one would dare touch it because literally everybody on all sides would flip out. one more reason why Democratic incrementalism and "pragmatism" is fucking stupid !!!!!

“There’s no real appetite to oust Schumer, though. Nor is there any interest from another Democrat to challenge him, according to interviews with more than a dozen Democratic senators.” @punchbowlnews.bsky.social Oh Sen Dems are not in disarray - they are in array - in their collective cowardice.

The Democrats were fucking dumb to vote for the Iraq war and we all knew so at the time. Clinton, Kerry, Biden all fucked up and we don’t need to make silly excuses for them. Powell did NOT resign in disgust. He was a part of the lie and we need to stop making up phony history.

the democratic party establishment hasnt learned a damn thing since they voted to allow george w bush to invade iraq. not one thing.

This is my favorite part of this cycle we've been repeating for my entire adult life: when they sit backwards on the chair for some real talk and explain that you're a fucking peasant who doesn't understand how things work.

Two months ago we were paying all federal workers, SNAP benefits were fully funded, and people could afford their health insurance premiums but a small group of Democratic senators have Stockholm Syndrome and are telling us we have to Sophie’s choice one or two of these things.

Just told my 10yo daughter about #ChuckSchumer. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Chuckanda forever"—which is the sort of pop culture cross-over I can celebrate.

Many things led to this moment but top of mind right now are blaming women for ruining the workplace & continuing to smear those who speak out against genocide. It’s a shame because I need to be up-to-date on the news but I will not support fascism financially.

5000 people have signed up to run for office with @runforsomething.net in the last week. Between the election wins & the shutdown fury, we’re taking that momentum in to 2026.

Yes, "pregnant people" is inclusive language that describes pregnant cis women AS WELL AS trans men and nonbinary people, a lot of whom can get pregnant. But it also describes, like, 12-year-old girls who get pregnant. Do centrist pig-dogs think THEY are "women" too? Coz...bit of a red flag, that.

Hakeem Jeffries is about to get a primary challenger. @chiosse.bsky.social will reportedly make an announcement about this in the coming weeks.

Update: In 3 recent editorials, WaPo failed to disclose owner Jeff Bezos's interest in the matter under discussion. WaPo added one disclosure after @bgrueskin.bsky.social called it out. Two weeks after my story, the other two editorials still have none. And the paper still won't say why

They think you’re stupid.

We’re all trying to figure out who controls the democratic Senate caucus, because that person should resign.

QUARTERBACK HAKEEM JEFFRIES: we love all our fans, everything we do out there is for them REPORTER: you forfeited the game at halftime QUARTERBACK HAKEEM JEFFRIES: well it's a long season. and at the end of the day, there's always next year

We're officially live. It's incredibly important to have a real record of how our public servants are behaving and this database will be a powerful tool for researchers, reporters, and ordinary Americans.

the caucus gets how this is *worse* right? if you're just going around Schumer, what's the point of leadership

I think what is going to happen is that lab-grown meat will gradually catch up with real animals and when that happens we will all quietly admit that the vegans were right about factory farming
