I love a meme targeted for my demographic

This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.

We are literally mad about your failure to fight the real dangers.

"We're gonna have such a big fight about this in February if the GOP doesn't okay ACA subsidies" no, you're absolutely not, this was the fight you were going to have and you had it. No one will want to fight it again in February. That's it for the ACA subsidies fight (they were always dead though!).

You literally just gave this away for a show vote that has already failed, what leverage do you have now? It's insane to *have ever thought* that Dems could rescue the ACA extensions from the GOP after the GOP already cast it's votes on this 7 months ago, no one believed/believes this.

You know people were more aware of the shutdown than this vote though, right?

I wrote about Europe maybe retreating from strong privacy protections in the name of AI competitiveness and why it may be making a mistake www.platformer.news/eu-ai-act-ch...

I’ve written about a lot of forensic charlatanism over the years, but this is might be the most laughably stupid garbage I’ve ever seen. Hope this woman sues the pants off of them. www.theblaze.com/news/former-...

I mean, odds are he whipped as requested by the minority leader, right?

I swear to god if they fix Bivens but only for members of Congres...

Number of goals achieved: 0.

The Democrats erred by not forcing Republicans to nuke the filibuster. But there was nothing Democrats could have done to get the ACA subsidies extended, because Republicans control all three branches and strongly believe that only rich people should have access to decent healthcare

JUST IN: Katie Wilson is now ahead of Mayor Bruce Harrell in the Seattle mayoral race. Stay tuned for details on today's count.

NEW: Rad Power Bikes has told employees it will go out of business in January without new funding. The company said in a staff email that it had a "very promising" option to stay alive, but whatever that was, it fell apart. Story with @kirstenkorosec.bsky.social techcrunch.com/2025/11/10/r...

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

you are correct when you say we are winning this shutdown fight currently but what you have to imagine is, what if we werent?

every single week they're throwing this guy a special oval office love-in that appears to be the presidential equivalent of letting your dog scarf an entire big mac and fries before that last trip to the vet

Um, this isn't a bad deal, this is a SHIT deal.

Lol

lmfao i hadn't realized until now that OpenAI has altogether promised 1.5 trillion in compute spending that's Trillion with a T brother i don't think the pornbot subscriptions are gonna get you there

Whenever some sanctimonious Dem announces that America needs a functioning Republican Party, I always think “I’d settle for a functioning Democratic Party.”

Stop with Road Diets and start in with Safety Sandwiches.

If I were in charge of Downtown LA I would make every single street a single lane if it's one way and one lane each way if it's two way. The rest would be tree protected bike lanes and whatever's left for pop out parks and a little parking.

Some buffs may have noticed a particular clue in last weekend's New York Magazine crossword...

One thing we need to be very careful of is that a lot of people want to use Democratic discontent to build power for themselves rather than to strengthen the left-of-center opposition for Trump. If someone proposes a new party, this is probably what they're doing.

At this rate of embarrassment he'll have to buy Twitter a second time.

Wait do I have it correct that Joyce Carol Oates said Musk was a shell of a man with no joy in his life and he totally saw it and said "No I'm not" and now he's searching the titles of different movies he likes and replying "great movie"

history will ultimately decide this but i think joyce carol oates might have just landed the most devastating burn in human history. like the death star trench run of posting

Did I miss the day of discourse on this?

It's like the Trump pubic hair signature but for Hitler's mustache.

i find every story about costco's brand strategy and overall approach completely fascinating.

Wait, Musk changed his avatar to some kind of idealized Hitler mustache?

I mean, surely someone has commented on this.

a lot of the problem with the Nates and Matts is that they didn't go to grad school. I don't think going ensures you aren't a blowhard knowitall, but it does make you understand that people have been working on shit for a long time and you can't just brush up in 3 hours because you are a special boy

there was an incredibly stark change at my job between 2023 and 2025. just absolutely day and night.

Now that Greg Bovino is wearing his court-ordered body cam, he's wide open to FOIA requests, so have fun with that.

oh my god

I've got people in my replies being like "Well you should quit helping the GOP by talking bad about Dems decision if you're so concerned about effective propaganda" and like, I am a poster and this is a US Senator on television. C'mon. bsky.app/profile/kenk...

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Went to repost this and then depressingly saw it was from 8 months ago. This is still true, and I am now convinced it will remain true until there are successful primary challenges nationwide to the "roll over and play dead" Dems.

POLITICO: “.. Among those who received the ‘full, complete and unconditional’ pardons were Rudy Giuliani .. Mark Meadows, .. John Eastman and Kenneth Chesebro, .. Boris Epshteyn .. and Sidney Powell ..” @politico.com @kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

"Far from a peak, China's gasoline demand is estimated to have fallen 9% in October on the year to 12.5 million tons, with average daily use roughly flat with September..." China's oil demand is entering structural decline.

so cool that mark carney is gutting climate policy to make a very expensive bet that asia will buy a ton of additional oil and gas from canada over the next few decades

Newsom is a bad person and I’ll leave that bubble empty before I vote for him, but if he spends all day on tv tomorrow calling Schumer a coward and it normalizes the call to primary him among lowish information democrats, godspeed.

i think an especially depressing part of this whole saga is that "we need to win primaries so establishment dems are replaced by true progressives" is a thing we've done before but one of the progressives we worked hard to install over the establishment pick was fetterman
