Remember how Elon said that Trump was in the Epstein files and that’s why he won’t let them be released and he apparently knew all about that but then decided to be friends with Trump again a week later so he just deleted that tweet and doesn’t mention it and no one regards that as a bit of an issue

bull shit like this is why dems lose on “masculinity” by the way

the angry base has been right and the savvy "calm down" caucus has been wrong every step of the way for the last 10 years

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

No health care, no deal.

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things.

we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures

Remember that this win is because of RANKED CHOICE VOTING, which the people must DEMAND.

Centrism is the belief that society achieved perfection around the same time as you became a homeowner

a decades long campaign by the ruling class to stigmatize kindness and empathy has been depressingly successful

Too many people thought this politics shit was a game they could just opt out of. No. A lot of people are going to die. Could be in the millions. Fuck.

Trump's destroyed the East Wing of the White House to create a $300 million golden ballroom funded by bribes that he'll use to keep fishing for more bribes from corporations and billionaires.

A quick reminder that the House is not in session because Speaker Johnson CANCELED it, not because of the current shutdown.

Ok. Fine. I'll bite. Fascism requires a militarized citizenry, conquest/imperialism, the elimination of our governing bodies (like Congress) and the notion that anyone who isn't part of a master race should be *massacred*. Weird thing to label a guy who brags about not starting any new wars. He also passed criminal justice reform and personally pardoned black inmates who were serving life sentences for drug crimes who Obama was unwilling to pardon. But I'm the "fucking stupid" one. Okay.

just circling back on this, ana

The fact that Platner is throwing himself a huge pity party because of a problem entirely of his own making is another warning sign that he’ll turn out to be another Fetterman

one of the most deeply infuriating aspects of american politics is close to half of americans would love if 20% of the country starved to death

Contest every race. Have a candidate in every race on every ballot in every county in every state.

Run even if you know you can’t win. Run because you know you can’t win.

No seat uncontested. Bring the fight to every ballot.

My big takeaway from Trump's lengthy Air Force One gaggle is that he's talking about shredding the Constitution by being in office for a third term increasingly openly.

If you don't think he try it, you're in denial.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

The more evidence mounts that Platner is lying, the more convinced I become that he is lying not only about his past but also about his current views.

Everything matters and yes this does too.

On a deadly serious note, the President cannot rely on external, private sources to fund spending as an end-run around Congress’ constitutional power of the purse. If he can, we no longer have a republic.

That very MUNDANE action that you don't take because you are too busy fantasizing about being a superhero instead would actually DO something for someone. Your fantasy does not.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

Give me candidacy or give me death: GOP nominee holds firm in NYC mayoral race Curtis Sliwa said he would rather be fatally tortured than drop out and work for one of his rivals.

Curtis Sliwa says he would rather be fatally tortured than drop out of the NYC mayoral race and work for Andrew Cuomo.

CZ pleaded guilty to a criminal money laundering charge and was sentenced to prison.

But then he financed President Trump’s stablecoin and lobbied for a pardon.

Today, he got it.

If Congress does not stop this kind of corruption, it owns it.

The SS was filled to the brim with society's rejects who were too stupid and incompetent to get any other sort of position. This is a feature, not a bug of authoritarian regimes. Incompetence breeds atrocities.
