This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

A negotiation expert running for Congress (full disclosure: I’m married to him) explains exactly how bad the deal was that some Dems struck last night. www.facebook.com/share/v/1FPD...

@juliekedzie.bsky.social and I worked for an hour on guard retention, then we voted! So productive! #bjj #vote

yes I have messy hair and a John Brown rashguard.

Steve Bannon's "third term plan" is that you become so convinced that Trump will cancel and/or rig all future elections that you disengage from democracy, don't volunteer or donate or run for office, and think your vote doesn't matter so why bother. It only works if you let it work.

All Loose-Fish.

A key attribute of thug trash is pathological sensitivity to criticism and mockery. Use it.

Two $20 billion gut punches to American ag, already suffering under illegal tariffs. And not only do we have nothing to show for it, it's looking more and more like we're going to be bailing them out for the third or fourth time. This month. The third or fourth time *this month.*

What I *meant* was my last post was about more than MMA. Also fuck ICE and fuck Nazis

Ooops I said “tweet.” Deleting and rephrasing lol

Hey. if you do the work, you can divorce your passion for MMA from whatever the fuck degenerative hellscape the UFC has become. It’s not easy & requires self-reflection and a commitment to reject the noise propagated by parasites & desperate content creators. But, with work, your love can persist.

I criticize NYT and other media, and always get pushback like "this won't sway voters" and "some words in a headline don't change the world." I know. I just think they should go a good job for the sake of doing a good job. For truth. For journalism. Even if the impact of improvement would be minor.

I like Platner's posts as much as any red-blooded progressive but you don't get a pass for having a Nazi tattoo just by being in the Corps and working blue-collar jobs. Source: me, a guy who knows a bunch of Marines and worked construction.

Last weekend I put down my stump speech. No one should be more focused on checks and balances than Congress. But no one is more eager to bend the knee than Congressional Republicans today. Put Congress back to work. #nokings #colinforkansas #kansas www.facebook.com/share/v/19kL...

If you're in Kansas hit our site to sign up for campaign updates and volunteer opportunities. If you've got a buck to spare, we'll use it to make the election-denying incumbent regret burning down USAID for Trump. www.colinforkansas.com

I'm in Hays, Kansas on a tour of the towns in the district where I'm running for Congress. After our speeches and hearing from the people here we're heading out to our local NK. Red states are full of people who want better for their neighbors and their country.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

As long as we don't think about all the people who lost jobs for tweeting, "hey, this Charlie Kirk guy seems to have been a racist?"

For by how much the more pains ye take to please the world, by so much the more shall ye for ever go thankless!

bob from chicago is doing good shit

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

the amount of time conservatives spend thinking about childrens genitals is legit crazy

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

Can you imagine what *didn't* get leaked? It has to be an incredibly ugly scene and a real political risk for even someone like Kris Kobach to cut one of the offenders loose. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

This is the FIFTH time Trump has carried out an illegal bombing in the Caribbean. Using the military to execute alleged criminals with no due process or input from Congress is brazenly unconstitutional and damaging to our democracy. apnews.com/article/trum...

More of this, please.

Fuck ICE.

I still stand ten toes down on this statement even after I got death threats on Twitter about it. Writing off the south continues to birth resentment and a further divide that shouldn’t even be there. They want a division to make it easier to continue regressive bullshit. Stop. Falling. For. It.

Big news, friends: on December 3rd, I'll be launching a brand-new history show, "Past Lives." Every episode focuses on the life of a real person from history and tries to make sense of their experiences and their world. There will be weekly scripted episodes and tons of bonus content on Patreon.

In which John Oliver methodically unpacks how thin it is to claim you’re all about “the truth” when you’re only running essays don’t get properly fact-checked — and don’t hold up to even basic reporting scrutiny www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

my means are sane, my motive and my object mad

Squall, whale, and harpoon had all blended together; and the whale, merely grazed by the iron, escaped.

Listen to the response to this and look how easy it is to say it.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

History warned us about tyrants. Nobody warned us they’d be this dumb.

Why does he care? He’ll be at his home in Florida.

Previous No Kings protests have been so peaceful that I've seen people on the far left complaining they're not actually accomplishing anything. They can send the guard out to "put down agitators," but if there aren't any, it's going to look really stupid and reactionary.

I will wreak that hate upon him.

Okay this is a good headline

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

Stephen Miller is murdering Venezuelans and Colombians in cold blood bc he believes it helps his propaganda campaign to paint Latinos as dangerous. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

I long for the day this shit ends, man. Every fucking day with these people. They flat out hate neurodivergent people, full stop.

There’s a reason academics universally rejected the initial push to canonize Charlie Kirk as a saint devoted to free speech. We know all too well that’s the exact opposite of reality.

Turn not thy back to the compass

Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office. ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities. I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.
