In some ways, the lesson of the night isn't that Mamdani is the face of the Democratic Party, it's that Cuomo is *not*

Trump has: “In two weeks” Mike Johnson has: “I don’t know anything about that.”

Is anyone else noticing that restaurant patronage has been dwindling over the past few months? We went to a sports bar yesterday - college football Saturday! - and the place was more than half empty. But we shouldn't worry about that, right? The economy is great. Right?!

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

POLITICO: “The Democratic base wants a fight. Chuck Schumer won’t give it to them.” Surrendering to Republicans isn’t leadership—it’s weakness. While the GOP bulldozes its agenda through, @SenSchumer played it safe. Democrats want and deserve a fighter, not a bystander.

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

@schumer.senate.gov said he’s going to fight every step of the way. Except this one. And maybe the next one. And some of the ones after that. Basically all the ones that matter.

If you vote for this Republican Funding Bill, you are complicit in all that DOGE, President Elon, and Trump does.

I am so fucking furious at Chuck Fucking Schumer

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Democrats should hold 435 town halls this weekend. The ones in Republican districts hosted by local Dems or nonpartisan local officials or even ex-Republicans, with everyone, Democrats and independents and Republicans, invited.

Donald Trump: Comply with my demands or I will hurt my own people! Canada: Ok, we will keep doing a thing we’ve been doing. Mexico: Ok, we will do a thing we did under the last guy. Trump: I WIN!!!! Fucking idiot.

My mood…

Canada is not the problem

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

F it. I’m gonna start blaming DEI for everything in my life, too. Late on an assignment? DEI. Car won’t start? DEI. Late on a mortgage? My money’s DEI. Hang nail? DEI. Thinking about getting out of a relationship? Have to. DEI.

The convict-in-Chief has the nearly $900,000 it costs per plane to deport people, but kids with cancer can apparently F off. Are we “great again” yet?

Right? 🎯

Don't tell anyone.. But the 2026 mid terms start **today**. It's time for the DNC to step on the gas.

Everyone, take a moment to savor this day, our last national day of sanity for—well, who knows?

Make it make sense.

THIS! 100% this…

It sure the hell, isn’t…👇 Is it?! 😂

Rich man to be charged with stopping the government from wasting money is angry that the government isn't wasting money on his company. Nothing to see here. No, no conflict of interest. Nothing.

There are lots of reasons that Hesgeth is disqualified for the role of Secretary of Defense, but his habit of calling soldiers "warfighters" like he's playing with action figures or something should be enough.

LETS DO THIS: Close your Threads, Instagram and Facebook accounts … at high noon on 20 Jan 2025 right after you do it to X. The #GreatTwitterWalkoff can also be the #GreatMetaWalkoff. Let’s do it simultaneously and show our power.

More than almost anything else, I will miss having a President who is capable of compassion, decency and empathy in times of crisis.

Wow, I never knew he said this. Jimmy Carter was ahead of his time—a man of unmatched kindness and integrity. Truly, he was too good for us.

GOP: Abortion is murder! What about actual murder, like with guns? GOP: Mental illness! What about healthcare to help treat mental illness? GOP: Healthcare is a privilege not a right!

This nails it perfectly.

I'm just saying..
