Dropping kid off at school, saw a pickup with a Blue Lives Matter flag, an FOP sticker … and a decal reading, “When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.”

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class. New piece laying this out: newrepublic.com/article/2030...

"President Donald Trump’s federal law enforcement crackdown has hit a disgusting new low, after federal agents reportedly pepper-sprayed a 1-year-old in Chicago and then lied about it."

Some pro-Israel and anti-Muslim groups closed out last week's NYC mayoral election by boosting hateful rhetoric and conspiracy theories about @cairnational.bsky.social -- a Muslim civil rights group that supported Zohran Mamdani. Our latest blog takes a closer look: openmeasures.io/zohran-mamda...

Elections show strong support for Dem policies. Dem Senators cave. Every single person says it’s a huge mistake and they shouldn’t do it. Duckworth canary bill on ACA extension fails on party lines. Dem Senators get a chance to vote again and still fucking cave! What was the point of this.

I miss Pittsburgh.

It seems almost weekly now that there is a headline about a healthcare worker who has been violently assaulted by a patient. When will it stop?

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway: 1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

no offense, but during this shutdown, i’ve raised awareness/advocated for the welfare of federal workers nonstop. i live in a community full of these workers. they include my friends. i have already addressed this multiple times in a nuanced way.

New: On The Gateway Pundit's podcast yesterday, Stewart Rhodes announced he's relaunching the Oath Keepers He also urged Trump to “call us up as a militia" & "order us all to come together in our counties under his command." www.mediamatters.org/oath-keepers...

Yo, annual reminder to buy your sage now because when you need it in a week it’ll be sold out everywhere.

Ms Rachel says The New York Times asked her if she’s funded by Hamas

I’m a federal employee who was furloughed and just missed my second full paycheck. I have two young kids, so it’s tough. It’s hard but DAMN worth it. Hold the line. Capitulating now puts all that folks have sacrificed to this point in the trash bin. @vanhollen.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov

Because many struggle with math…

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

"Is there a more feckless, spineless opposition party anywhere in the democratic world? Why do Democrats insist on repeatedly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?" Me for Zeteo's First Draft this morning on the Democratic surrender in the Senate:

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

When you've lost *checks notes again* Chris Cillizza

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?

My friends who work in government have gone into debt to protect people's healthcare, they are being fucking betrayed by wealthy Senators who never stopped getting paid.

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law! That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you do not keep the government shut for more than a month and then NOT get a deal on the main item you have been messaging on without completely shifting the blame dynamic.

After Tuesday, I had real hope. Lucy/football/Charlie Brown Everything people say about the Democratic Party is true, and it’s maddeningly soul crushing.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

so much suffering and sacrifice only to to agree to terms that will beget more suffering and sacrifice.

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

For anyone arguing that the SNAP situation requires that Senate Democrats cave in exchange for nothing, and do it by tomorrow — I would think the developments of the last 24 hours, e.g. states acting in reliance on FNS' representations, USDA throwing a tantrum, increase the likelihood of a TRO....

Senate Democrats think this is the appropriate response because they begin every conflict with the assumption they will lose, and then ask “How can we end this as quickly as possible while creating the appearance of having tried to win so the base isn’t mad?”

So yeah, Schumer is fucking awful. But there’s enough Democrats supporting this debacle that it’s obviously more than a one-guy problem. The party that consistently presents itself as the only bulwark against fascism keeps surrendering to fascism.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

I fucking hate this guy so much.

Standing in tunnel near field. Trump showed on scoreboard during commercial break. Boos outweighing applause from this vantage point.

“The slave catchers are here. Chicago is not safe.” A must read. Support @thetriibe.com their reporting has been spectacular! thetriibe.com/2025/11/the-...

Senate Democrats asked for a year of ACA subsidies and were told to fuck off. So they came back and asked for a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that they will assuredly lose? Seriously?

From my son (who also has non-speaking autism): "This poor man is terrified. He does not deserve such brutal treatment. I am disgusted at the depravity of the ICE agents. A sad commentary on how we non-speaking autistics are treated. Shame, shame, shame."

God I love my county!

This is unconscionably evil and spiteful for the sake of being evil and spiteful. This needs to be messaged by every single Democrat or progressive in the country to their constituents.
