Content creators tend to think any spectacle is defensible if they can say health and safety concerns have been attended to behind the scenes, but that’s not really it imho. Mr. Beast’s whole thing is that his subjects’ desperation for cash allows him—a wealthier person—to indulge his sadism.

That is just plainly not true. Your budget slashed help for people who buy Affordable Care Act plans. That's 22 million Americans whose premiums are going up - RIGHT NOW - by double digits directly because of a policy you passed.

Mike Johnson: "The WIC program, the nutrition program -- women, infants, and children -- that program won't be funded. FEMA won't be funded."

You’re in the majority. Pass it yourself.

Banning federal LE from wearing army camo should be a top priority for dems…

Vandalism five years ago is not a reason to crack down on the left today! www.pbump.net/o/how-trumpw...

Pritzker: “ICE is running around the Loop harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace.”

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

Same as it ever was.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Dems are being serious about saving healthcare for American families, while Trump is fixated on a fake issue. 📌 Undocumented immigrants don’t qualify for Medicaid or the ACA and he knows it! Trump and Republicans should just enforce the law. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown STAND STRONG, DEMOCRATS

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

coming back to this, what are we even doing with this funding bill negotiation or indeed any budget at all?

"I'm not saying [the Michigan church shooter] was motivated by his support for Trump or that he's a rightwing terrorist. I'm just saying by the rules established by the right... they're responsible for this shooting in Michigan, per their own logic." - me, today Full show: zeteo.com/p/the-suspec...

SCOOP / UPDATE — Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancelations during the period 9/17-9/23, a Disney source confirms to me. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

Federal employees should never be used as political pawns in shutdown negotiations.

The NYT ate with this, ngl.

So what you are selling is Thomas Sanford, HUGE MAGA Charlie Kirk fan, drove his truck in to a church and murdered people but didn't leave behind a manifesto or a note? I'm not buying it.

Monopoly and totalitarianism go hand in hand. The only way to stop the growing censorship of Trump's critics is to fight the consolidation of media outlets into the hands of a few families that do not care about the best interests of the country.

Another way of looking at it

Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now - not just banking money for the next election. If we don't build right now, there might not be another election.

He said what he said

MAGA House of Cards is tumbling across the board in less than a year. Economy will get worse and Epstein Files aren't going away. Republicans only solution is to crush democracy. They're on their way.

Democrats lose by ignoring our base. Republicans don’t win elections, Democrats lose them.

Repeat after me: people hate this mad king shit

Just make Triumph of the Will already ya damn Nazi

The below post is from CBS Chicago reporter Asal Rezaei yesterday. It comes one day after Chicago journalist Steve Held was detained while covering a protest outside the Broadview immigration facility. Absolutely inexcusable attack perpetrated by an ICE thug. He should be fired immediately! 😡

Another awful shooting, this time in Grand Blanc, Michigan. My heart is with the victims and their families. Every single American should be able to worship freely without having to worry about their safety. Hate and violence have no place in this country.

The Democratic establishment loves to say the party needs to move to the center, as if they're not already there.

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

Inside each regional Fed President there are two wolves *FED'S HAMMACK SAYS INFLATION TOO HIGH, TREND IN WRONG DIRECTION *HAMMACK: SEEING EMERGING SIGNS OF FRAGILITY IN LABOR MARKET

People want universal healthcare. They want affordable food, clean air, education and housing. They want the freedom to pursue a better life for themselves. What do they get? Militarized cities. Threats to Medicaid. Detention camps. Gold card immigration programs. Tyranny.

🧑‍🌾 @timmiller.bsky.social on the Trump FARMER BAILOUT: “Tariffs caused a trade war, farmers can’t sell… and now you and I will have to pay them. The stupidest policy I think I’ve ever seen. A land speed record for policy disaster.” The very tariffs he said would help them are killing them.

So we've had two white male Marine veterans commit mass shootings this weekend in Michigan and North Carolina leaving at least 4 dead and a church burned down. I'm sure MAGA will declare it an epidemic and push to ban white male Marine veterans from owning guns any day now.

Minutes after the bill was signed, my firm sued on behalf of affected voters. I told you I don 't bluff. Next up is to show that we win.

agree; the don't-fight-numbers-fuckstein types like ezra [probably] know that they're about to get jettisoned in the blue tea party and are desperately trying to negotiate away their pending irrelevance

the way she says “i’m so excited” at the end as she smiles so big is cold as hell. she doesn’t give a shit that he’s dead. wild.

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

Trump-supporting veteran murders people in a church and sets it on fire. Benny Johnson (who spoke at Kirk's memorial service) falsely claims on Twitter that this tragedy is part of some broader "attack on Christianity." This tweet from Johnson was at the top of my "for you" feed.

Cannot be repeated enough: this was not a voluntary resignation program. Workers were told they were more valuable in the private sector, that they might be fired from their jobs, that they could expect no reasonable work accommodations, that they would work for leaders who were undermining services

We’d prefer to be able to afford groceries.

We can dunk on Silver. But the folks wildly hyping Adams in 2021-22 included Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. The desire for a prominent BLACK politician who was pro-police and hostile to the BLM movement was broadly shared within elite Dem circles. They ignored obvious signs he was corrupt and inept.

Shouldn't Schumer and Jeffries tell Trump: Sorry, can't make it to the White House to chat tomorrow! You say a major city is so 'war-ravaged' as to require deploying federal troops authorized to use 'Full Force' against U.S. citizens. So we feel a responsibility to head to Portland to take a look.

Can't we just get healthcare

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

79. American citizen.

Walmart and Navy Federal Credit Union were investigated for scamming consumers, but now they’re thanking Donald Trump for letting them off the hook. Instead of lowering costs like he promised, Trump is standing in the way of cheated Americans getting their money back.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You are praising a conman in your own party while simultaneously saying you will fight the conman in The White House. The former is why no one believes you on the later.
