I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

It's been wild to watch as some ostensibly liberal people like Debra Messing have just had their brains fried by algorithms since October 7, 2023, and are now indistinguishable from the most hardcore MAGA supporters.

how is it I haven’t done one second of research on Iran in 15 years and know more than a former Navy captain and sitting United States senator?

politicians ambitious to solve crises of affordability with transformative public spending/investment always get hit by 'how do we pay for it?'

some of us have said, for a long time, this is the ultimate neoliberal shackle, a Trojan horse for 'you cannot do it'

If Arsenal do win the Premier League this season, they'll need to have the parade in the Cardiac Care unit because that's where everyone will be.

Hard to see this as anything other than Stelter sucking up to his future bosses over at Paramount

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.

they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.

for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

Your opposition to war can just be that war is evil. it doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children.

From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

It is completely crazy-making to read this shit and see it comes not from a loyal GOP minion but a Democratic whose previous posts criticize DHS and data centers. Oh but the war though β€” the war is good and we like it!

if you're smugly chastising people who begged the previous administration's presidential candidate to promise to stop help killing their families in the face of this you don't care about the people being harmed and never have. you are a bad person.

This is so true. Even if you were a votescold in the run-up to the 2024 election (like I was), that time is long over, and yelling at leftists is not going to help anybody at this juncture

@RepJeffries on X: Donald Trump promised to keep America out of costly and endless foreign wars.

He is now doing the exact opposite in the Middle East.

Congress must vote on a War Powers resolution immediately.

While Republicans fully support Trump's war with Iran, Democratic leaders do not oppose it. There is no effective opposition.

Hakeem Jeffries is merely demanding that the administration "must explain itself to the American people and Congress" and "provide an ironclad justification."

Greg Landsman thinks those children deserved to die and he'd like to thank their murders.

He is a Democrat celebrating the murder of innocent children.

These are not the good guys. Stop voting for them. Stop sending them money. Stop asking them for help. They want to do this.

He said it's a war. We don't need "clarification." We need this to stop. If you're not telling your reps to support impeachment too then I honestly don't even know what we're doing here.

Him saying that Iran wouldn't make a deal on nuclear disarmament for "decades and decades" is so fucking funny bc they ripped up the comprehensive nuclear deal that a democratic president struck

This is extremely stupid but having him announce a new war that is gonna kill a lot of innocent people at a poorly lit podium wearing an awful white USA trucker hat just adds insult to injury

I knew Final Fantasy Tactics has a story with a heavy lean into the politics of it all compared to other games but man, they weren’t joking
