Democratic organizers did our fucking part. We gave Democrats a clean sweep on Tuesday so Chuck Schumer have leverage to negotiate. Instead, either because of malice or sheer fucking incompetence, he is letting his caucus fold like fucking cowards.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

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.

These same bums will be asking us for cash at the next deadline; looking forward to sending this back to every Senate fundraising text

Just imagining the meeting where they must have been like “they might cancel my flight? Time to kill the sick.”

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not. If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Illinois friends, do not let Dick Durbin know a moment’s peace. CALL AND EMAIL NOW.

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

May be recency bias, but it’s been a while since I was as delighted with the end of a film as when I saw a certain final scene involving Buddy Guy hanging out at his blues club

Good thread, and I will add that men DO NOT LIKE IT when women say "hey, you fucked up," and to the extent that women tend to soften the blow with indirectness, it's because men feel like their honor is insulted if they have to take feedback from women.

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up. I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.

AT SEVEN MINUTES AFTER CLOSING?????????????? holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck

People who got into Wicked because of the movie and are saving the soundtrack for For Good are not ready for As Long As You’re Mine and I love that for them.

this is such a great encapsulation of why this race feels existential even to people outside NYC. Cuomo as the final boss of everything wrong with the current Democratic Party, Mamdani happily grabbing the third rails everyone’s told are too dangerous to touch (trans people, Muslims, socialism)

Stephen Miller endorses Andrew Cuomo.

NYC, the flyovers are with you. ❤️

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Wow — Fox News fell for a racist AI video about SNAP recipients with “7 baby daddies”… then when called out changed the story to be about AI videos going viral 🤔

Break the contract, WB, you cowards.

Did I tell you I got a new puppy? I got a new puppy.

I know a lot of people (cough Millennials) feel like they need to START a thing, START a food bank, build a little free food pantry. My friends, my loves, my dears. Don't start. JOIN. These exist. They have community ties! They have some funding! Accountability! Regulations!

Did I tell you I got a new puppy? I got a new puppy.

“He called her his aunt even though she’s his cousin!” Just say you’ve never been loved or loved another person, this is exhausting.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Oh www.mlive.com/news/2025/10...

Gallego: "How can I negotiate? The president is in Asia for 5 days. Johnson is basically keeping the House out until January to protect pedophiles. So who am I negotiating with right now?"

Jesus christ is it just this shit on a loop for the rest of time?

Many truly wonderful Catholic priests are speaking out against ICE and I think they deserve to know if they want to go full Fleabag, that’s on the table. 🙏

I know we’re in a uniquely stupid point in time, but then I remember the time they tried to rebrand the Civil War as “the War of Northern Aggression” and I at least feel less alone.

The Sun-Times is reporting Border Patrol took at least two teenage boys today when they hit Little Village, again. One is said to be a 16-year old student, U.S. citizen, and student at Benito Juarez Community Academy.

I’m local. This is the first I or anyone I know has learned that Sonya Massey could have survived the shooting. Sean Grayson, I hope you never experience anything even resembling peace ever again. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

"nearly half..." ??? it's an open book test. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

he's knocking down the literal white house and illegally murdering people by dropping bombs on international boats and the government has been shut down for weeks and it's just like....yep

I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

I just emailed Cuomo’s press person to clarify that he believes Mamdani would cheer for a 9/11-style terrorist attack. Stay tuned!

I actually do think we should have a litmus test that having ever had Nazi iconography on your body is instantly disqualifying for public office. I'm not saying you cannot possibly atone for that, apologize, make teshuvah, and live a good life, but I don't want to vote for you for public office.

The hopelessness comes in with “is this actually just how it works?” and I think we’ve hit the point of “Maybe. But it can’t anymore.”

It is so draining to realize it’s not just “establishment dems” moving the goalposts in fascist favor — Bernie’s response to this is…grim. Grim bleak nihilistic compromise on things that matter has never been helpful.

"If you want to make room for the white working class, you must make room for Nazism" is a truly depressing referendum on a lot of different things at once

Jesus christ man

I have never liked a politician so much that I would get on the internet to negotiate how much Nazi tattoo is a acceptable amount of Nazi tattoo. It's none! None Nazi tattoo!

Incredible what a great Rorschach test the Platner tattoo is. Almost no one I have respect for is defending it and almost everyone I think is a dishonest hack is coming up with excuses. Like, cutting across ideology even!

It is so draining to realize it’s not just “establishment dems” moving the goalposts in fascist favor — Bernie’s response to this is…grim. Grim bleak nihilistic compromise on things that matter has never been helpful.

I don’t understand why anyone’s debating this — a Nazi tattoo is a non starter, full stop. This is a race for a U.S. Senate seat. The bar for candidates to clear doesn’t have to be insanely high, but it should at least be off the ground

The thing about Graham Platner is that seems like a really easy tattoo to get covered up. You could even make it a big black circle and say you’ve been hole-punched. It’s the keeping it part that is concerning.

There was about 5 minutes in college Matt Stone and Trey Parker got me with the “both sides are bad and dumb” and had me looking into libertarianism and that’s the closest I’ve ever gotten.

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind

The woman hosting this shit is CMO at a VC firm that funds AI projects. But the great @nytimes.com does not disclose that
