Panel 3: Pink Guy is relaxing in his living room, having a lovely cup of tea. He has no intention of going to help save the AI sinking slop ship.

The fact that the mere existence of this place makes Nate Silver so obsessively mad that he writes fanfiction about it is probably its best feature. I don’t need group chats I need the escalating Lovecraftian derangement of Nate Silver

“Hopefully the Republicans may hear us” may be the dumbest sentence I’ve heard uttered since her colleague from Maine said Trump “learned his lesson” after his first impeachment.

The shutdown ended? I thought this dickhead was supposed to be the data-driven, accuracy matters dude

We should start by taking healthcare away from Republican members of Congress, since they feel it’s a “fake economy” anyway

"The wolf tells us that brick houses will never work and straw is the ultimate building material."

They're emboldened after the fold and they should be

Anyway I think one reason I'm not that mad at these guys is we already knew they were the wrong people for this moment. A party trying to carry on with business as usual in the face of autocracy won't survive. They're sitting in a burning house and commissioning polls on how popular the fire is

There was a time when 90% of Americans would have understood how deranged in every conceivable way a post like this is

I mean if you showed this to any American in 2001 they wouldn't even understand what they were looking at or what sort of deranged creature could possibly speak like this in public

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

What's interesting here is that Trump keeps calling it the Democrat Shutdown and the polling showed that people didn't believe it and blamed the Rs, BUT Chuck folding now and getting nothing makes it look like this all WAS a Dem shutdown for no reason at all. Trump wins again because of Schumer

The vast majority of homeowners with fire insurance never file a claim but we don't say fire insurance is a bad idea. Having the insurance *is* using the system. And I think that people actually understand this *because everyone needs health insurance*

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

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.

“Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is: never try.”

Trump Pardons Giuliani and Others Involved in Effort to Overturn 2020 Election

Congrats to the eight Democrats who gave this regime a huge win over the weekend. Here’s your reward.

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie]

SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

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

writers and editors at the times have figured out you can print any lie you want to in the newspaper if you insert the "without evidence" clause somewhere, as if the lack of evidence of the slander somehow makes it newsworthy instead of the opposite

Nobody wants to join a gutless chickenshit party.

Completely normal

Not a political consultant but I’m not sure “standing up to trump doesn’t work” is the best midterm message, even if if accurately represents senate dems position. Not much point in putting you in power then bsky.app/profile/atru...

The News: Now this question is completely without evidence, I want to be absolutely clear about that, no merit to it at all, in fact it’s even offensive to even mention it to you but Ms Rachel are you involved in the Jon Benet Ramsey case?

Ms Rachel: uh

Whose Streets? Trump’s Federalized National Guard and the Long Arc of White Supremacy Federal agents have long harassed immigrants and Black and brown people in cities, but something dangerous is changing behind the scenes.

"The terms in which this longer project is now being activated are alarming and blatantly authoritarian," says @elizabethkai.bsky.social .bsky.social in her conversation with @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social in Issue No. 8.

“New York Times conducts hostile interview with children’s education influencer questioning her recognition of comprehensively documented war crimes” is not a sentence I could have imagined a few years ago

Pathetic

I think this is better categorized as a pyrrhic defeat

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.
