In a world where the incumbent president bowed to pressure and stepped aside, it doesn’t seem like such a monumental ask to switch minority leaders.

I missed this awful detail in the Senate deal: helping politicians who conspired against America as part of Trump's coup hide their phone records.
That's right, as ICE brutally violates rights in ways that leave people with no recourse, the Senate found time to protect their colleagues from justice.

Shutdown Deal Would Let Senators Sue Over Jack Smith Searches Senators whose phone records were sought by Special Counsel Jack Smith would gain authority to sue for millions in damages under a provision buried in the Senate-advanced deal to reopen the government...

Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

for God’s sake

Huh well it turns out I heard from a few federal workers about this and well

"We civil servants organized to help our colleagues face the hardship of the shutdown, we put up with the pain and our only request was to not be betrayed like this. Trade our pain, make it count."

Senators look at Trump's shameless corruption and say "give us some of that"

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Dear Senate Dems,

Republicans don’t keep their promises…

Musk's $1 Trillion Payday Tesla shareholders backed a plan that could give Elon Musk shares worth nearly $1 trillion if he achieves ambitious goals.

remember kids: if you work hard and *really* fuck things up, a pack of cultish dopes will happily throw money at you anyway

Elon Musk has acquired billions in government subsidies and tax breaks.

Tesla shareholders will vote whether to make him the world’s first Trillionaire.

The moral of the story is this:

If you ask for affordable healthcare & food, you’re a mooch.

If you ask for billions, you’re an entrepreneur.

Telling how this devolves into conservative talking points about taxes going to fund social programs halfway through

When Republicans win elections: The people have spoken, we must let them implement their agenda.

When Democrats win elections: This totalitarian FREAK must be prevented from implementing the policies he ran on

Whoops

FYI this is what you do when your business is great and you are very liquid and creditworthy

CHICAGO: “My uncle was on his way home from getting groceries on his bike — they grabbed him and choked him and punched him… he’s a kind hardworking man. They’re racially profiling people.”

Trump’s ICE goons put an elderly man in the hospital and nearly choked him to death.

Just because we beat them doesn’t mean we should continue to let billionaires spend whatever they want on elections.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

More than $8 million from Mike Bloomberg.

$3 million from Airbnb's co-founder.

$3 million from the Estée Lauder family.

$2 million from Bill Ackman.

$1 million from DoorDash.

$200K from Walmart's heiress.

Zohran didn't just beat Andrew Cuomo. He beat the elite.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

God it's good to see some shit that doesn't suck for a change

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

When Donald Trump is in power he does things that are massively unpopular and his party loses. He's never won a single election, on-year or off-year, when in power. Why is this not conventional wisdom?

Remember when Republicans drew Virginia's Congressional map so Black people were packed into one district and said we should be grateful they gave our community this district. NOW they can have one district and see how much they love it.

Virginia state Senator Louise Lucas (a Democrat who is the chamber's president pro tempore) just tweeted this:

😊

Remember, we learned in 2021 that a win by the out party in a Virginia gubernatorial election fully nullifies any presidential mandate. I don’t make the rules

Trump has only one political skill with voters: firing people up that everything sucks.

Unsurprisingly that skill isn’t useful when he’s in office.
