Republicans do not want to send money to insurance companies to pay for insurance

$100 to the first reporter who asks literally any christian Republican if jewish people are going to hell to be tortured for all eternity

Old school conservatives played by the rules. Trump’s crew are brutish criminals who want to destroy the system. There has to be punishment for their crimes, no more Merrick Garland handwringing. At the same time we have to find a way to live with the millions of Americans who voted for them.

I am struggling to understand the Republican argument for why anti-Semitism is bad. They never really lay it out why they think it's bad they just claim that it is and then go on the attack. But the anti-semites are just one group further than other Republicans who currently hate tons of people

"the body" This is how fascism operates

Add cornell to columbia as proven fascists institutions. No democrat could send their students there

Its a new day so its a new opportunity for me to say: democrats should have a standing daily press conference to bring forth yesterday's victims of ICE/BP

a perfect example. rod dreher: a person who projects his entirely personal neuroses onto the world, and believes there is a great struggle of heterosexuality against homosexuality that must be waged zealously. it's good that we make fun of people doing this, actually bsky.app/profile/fool...

These two are obviously lying as they lied to Congress. They are begging other Republicans to lie better

Another reminder to abolish the opinion section It drags every paper to right wing hell and buries the actual work:

The inevitable problem with every conservative "reform" is that the only problem they see is not enough shareholder value being extracted

capitlaist media is simply incapable of understand what is happening here. Here is the life time stock value of Trump Media. Peep the timings of the spikes. This isn't about making or losing money.

I am really starting to think had Trump not run again, the GOP would have successfully completed their plan of "Run him, everyone forgets". Had trump faded in 2020 the right would still have massive gains and basically no loses. Now, they are looking at 2010 dem state level loses everywhere

They should definitely do this. But they need to understand that that's the tip of the wedge to pursue all of these billionaires back into millionaire status. It's not sufficient just to Target the one guy you need to dismantle the system that enabled him

This book is an absolute 100% argument Ender about how Merrick Garland handled the department of Justice. Everyone who said he was going at maximum speed and doing everything he could was totally wrong. Anyone still saying this is deranged and should be ignored. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

I appreciate that bulwark conservatives are part of the coalition. And that they can be so bruising on Republicans. But this whole video is a reminder that Democrats let them anywhere near leadership. In no world, should these people be calling the shots. youtube.com/watch?v=PDKP...

As we get more data from Tuesday it becomes increasingly clear what a bad candidate biden/harris represented. I caught insane heat for saying this during the campaign but I, and MANY others, were right. But the way Dems are running ahead of Harris everywhere is deep confirmation of this.

In the last couple months we have rapidly shifted from somewhat inflated claims of AI To just the most insane, deluded, deranged, senseless, and totally predictable end point where the people riding on a mountain of fake “wealth” try to maintain the illusion. The band plays on

I guess Conor got the message after floating insane non-sense about how not bailing out these same people would be “austerity” that you can only support if you think it’s funny that Thanksgiving will be more expensive. Surprised that he even considers a strike a legitimate form of protest.

It seems easy to misunderstand this phrase so let me be clear: "Nuremburg trials is the moderate position" was also the reading of the situation the first time.

Any candidate not promising mass arrest and prosecution of everyone involved in ICE and Border Patrol is a total non-starter. If you aren’t willing to have memory beyond the last scandal, get the fuck out of politics. We need democrats with memory. We need PETTY DEMOMCRATS.

GDP is measure by which if 1 billionaire gains $1,000,000,001. And one million people lose $1,000, stolen from them by this billionaire. GDP goes up.

GDP is a measure of average wealth. In the USA 3 men have $1tn. This increases GDP by $3,000. The richest 10 men have $2tn. This increases GDP by $6,000. Can you understand?

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

There is a "law and order" party political meal that is sitting on a plate steaming and looking delicious... If only Democrats would reach out and start eating. To prosecute these people. Promise to jail them. Promise to chase them when they are out of power Promise to restore fucking order

we're all looking for the guy who introduced unprecedented coarseness, vulgarity, and flippant violence into national politics

“Sorry, don’t mind me I’m just stretching my legs.”

Get they asses

ron wyden looking straight at the camera and saying “taxation is the compromise”

Same people that told me that silicon valley was going to kill real estate agents have been telling me that it's going to kill appraisers And all it's done is kill a lot of investor money

How my day’s going

I will just never get over that this whole shutdown is happening because Republicans don't want to give money to insurance companies. It's not even money we get to keep Do people understand the ACA subsidies go to the insurance companies? Republicans don't want to pay insurance companies

I love the way this is phrased. This is absolutely right. These are totally legitimate parts of our economic and constitutional order. Don't let malevolent forces tell you they aren't. This is our birthright.

Do you think there is a voting bloc out there to re-ban gambling?

Icatching up on @majorityreport.bsky.social and they just played a clip of greenblatt from the ADL saying another synagogue was like "going to the black breakout group at CPAC" @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social He said this in the process of attacking Mamdani Not the worst thing he said but shocking

It will never not infuriate me that we are now in the fourth decade of mainstream political opinion being that " conservatives want freedom and limited government" And all they've done in that time frame is make government more invasive on increasingly more granular parts of your life.

The future of the internet is extremely damn if it's not already extinguished.

Conservatives are smashing and destroying every last bit of our system The judiciary has long been the United States golden calf. And it's bleeding out in the living room

When the Democrats take back Congress, I think they should make investigating these pardons a high priority. Trump on TV the other day. It was all but saying he just lets Don Jr. And Eric do it. Would love to find out if that's true

every demand for "View point diversity" ends up in the exact same place:

@abbymartin0.bsky.social incredible interview on @majorityreport.bsky.social everyone should give it a listen! It's about the environmental threat of the US military. And if you think you know how bad that threat it....you don't.

There is a particular popular econo-bro on here that is quickly succumbing to poasters maddness. A couple weeks ago they were speculating about the coming turn around in jobs data. And now they're talking about how refusing to backstop AI companies is austerity Real lunatic s***.

the many ways capitalism crushes innovation

I really want democrats to uncover our actual history and not pretend like everything started with Reagan. So many pin the democratic past to its lowest point rather than it's highest leading to...predictable results.

1. Religion aside: Mamdani cites a 1961 speech by MLK here, but King was actually more explicit about his support for democratic socialism later on. I know this because I went to great lengths to confirm the quote — which comes from a 1966 speech to staff in SC — for my book American Prophets.

Since folks are talking a lot about democratic socialism this week, just gonna re-up this thread on how MLK voiced religious support for democratic socialism — but most folks aren't aware of when he did so most explicitly. That was in an obscure, little-known speech he gave in Frogmore, SC in 1966.

Been saying for three decades - We’ve had patriarchal rule for centuries, nay millennia, and look at the state of the world. As Joni Mitchell penned in a song, men’s attitude has always been, “We walked on the moon, you be polite”. Let the ladies take the helm. They can’t do any worse.

Women have excelled when the door was opened The obvious lesson here is that we should teach the values and priorities of women BECAUSE THEY WORK. the hyper male approach is a proven failure. We should be having our boys follow the girls and women who CLEARLY have a better handle on things

All Republicans need to do is extend the ACA subsidies and the shutdown would end immediately. Maybe some of this snark should be sent their way.
