This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

All the pissbabies saying sharia law will be in NYC in 3 months remind me of how Toronto elected a socialist mayor (Olivia Chow) and they were all saying she’d convert the city into a Chinese Communist hellscape and not only did she increase police funding but now we have numerous Shake Shacks

You are about to see harrowing footage of a father in Fitchburg, MA being brutalized by masked ICE agents while holding his terrified, crying baby.

The Trump admin and every ICE agent who terrorizes our communities must be held to account for their inhumane, illegal actions.

a super funny thing about this is that the only reason this looks like some too-clever-by-half gambit is that thune, johnson, and trump have played this so badly, in any normal universe, this would look like a normal, uncontroversial, unobjectionable offer from the minority party in both chambers

Meta is earning a fortune on a deluge of fraudulent ads, documents show Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, and it internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day, company documents show.

10% of Meta's 2024 ad revenue came from outright frauds and scams; the platform shows consumers 15 billion ads for fraud and scams every single day. This doesn't even include agitprop and AI slop.

the existential collapse of this monumental pile of shit company simply can't come quickly enough

Colonel Terry Virts Announces Run for U.S. House of Representatives in Texas’ 9th Congressional District

Astronaut, veteran, & proven leader under pressure says he’s β€œstaying in the fight to save Texas and America’s future”

Houston, TX – Retired Air Force Colonel and NASA astronaut Terry Virts today announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. House of Representatives in Texas’ 9th Congressional District (TX-09) β€” following recent redistricting changes that reshaped the political map across the state.

Virts, who had been campaigning for the U.S. Senate, said the shift to the House race reflects a renewed focus on defending Texas’ voice in Congress and ensuring common-sense leadership in this pivotal district.

β€œWhen politicians changed the political maps to favor their power over the power of the people, the maps changed but my mission didn’t,” Virts said. β€œI’m running to make sure Texans voices are heard–fightring for Texas families, small businesses and the American dream. This campaign is about service, leadership and results β€” not politics. I’ve spent my life solving complex problems under pressure, and Washington needs more of that right now.”

Astronaut Terry Virts, who'd been seeking the Dem nod for #TXSen, announces he'll run for #TX09 instead. The GOP just gerrymandered that district to make it almost impossible for Dems, prompting Rep. Al Green to say he might run in #TX18 instead.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

β€œThree men in black vests entered a NY restaurant claiming to be ICE agents. Inside, they tied a worker’s hands and pulled a garbage bag over the person’s head. Another, believing the burglars’ story, surrendered themselves, only to be kicked to the ground and tied up as the intruders robbed an ATM”

Kansas Republicans drop push to enter nation's widening redistricting battle Top Kansas Republicans have given up for now on forcing a special session of the Legislature to redraw the state’s U.S.

Some good redistricting news: Kansas Republicans have abandoned trying to hold a special session to re-gerrymander their congressional map & eliminate Dem Rep. Sharice Davids.

They could try again in January's regular session, but they apparently lack the votes in the state House, at least for now
