When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

I'd stupidly assumed that after decades of Hollywood movies we'd all learned to pick up on evil vibes immediately

Okay, I’m hoping this will gain some traction on Bluesky *inhales* SALEM PUBLIC LIBRARY IN OREGON IS IN DANGER OF CLOSING. This sets a dangerous precedent for state capital libraries!!

This is a continuation of the saga from last year, when we were saved at the last second by the then-mayor. (1/2)

A federal court has declared that warrantless searches of US person’s communications collected for national security purposes is unconstitutional. Now it’s our job to make sure Congress knows that when they renew this law in a little over a year.

Trump could have easily pardoned only those January 6 prisoners convicted of nonviolent crimes, but he chose to also pardon and commute the sentences of rioters who committed violence against police officers β€” and even far-right Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy.

Trump’s First Orders Parrot Project 2025 Manifesto He Disavowed After distancing himself from the corporate policy agenda during his campaign, President Donald Trump is issuing executive orders torn straight from its pages.

16 of the 26 Day One executive orders signed by Trump were ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

Russ Vought, an architect of Project 2025, testifies before the Senate today as Trump's OMB nominee.

Project 2025 was always the MAGA agenda.

Actual answer (sorry) - "pilled" came from red pill and blue pill memes that became ideologies for terminally online men. "Coded" came from having to use coded language to hint at things to get around censors like queercoding in media like the Hays Code.

Good morning, Bluesky.

I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but even during the darkest of times, it is still so important to seek joy.

Allow yourself to enjoy the little things in life.

The last thing left in Pandora’s box was HOPE.

Never forget that.

Do not

Do not

Do NOT

Announce or even hint on your social media that you’re doing illegal or potentially illegal things. Even if for excellent reasons.

You will be a target and make the people you aid targets.

Trump is the consequence rather than the cause of the anti-democratic surge.

Here's how the Supreme Court's infamous Citizens United decision β€” issued 15 years ago today β€” overwhelmed our political system with money and brought us to our current moment.
