jeffries waiting until now to endorse is really the perfect microcosm of elite Dem futility: doing the right thing but too late and getting no credit for it

My boyfriend has a tattoo of clippy on his ass lmao

Ok

A bittersweet farewell to our 2000-series! 🚇
 
Today, we removed the final one from Greenbelt Rail Yard. These trains were first introduced in the early 1980s, operated nearly 200M miles, and carried more than 775M passengers.
 
Now, we’re making way for our 8000-series! 👋

A haunted house but every room is just a different pair of hustle bros doing a podcast

BREAKING: Judge William Young, a Reagan appointee, delivers the most scathing legal rebuke of the Trump era, ruling that Trump and his cabinet illegally targeted pro-Palestinian students for deportation to "strike fear" into First Amendment protesters. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.

He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

‘Based on what I feel’: Trump escalates attack on childhood vaccines Trump promoted long-debunked claims that vaccines can cause autism as he called for changes to the childhood immunization schedule sought by anti-vaccine activists.

Trump’s attack on vaccines yesterday — delivered from the White House — “was the most dangerously irresponsible press conference in the realm of public health in American history” @pauloffit.bsky.social told us.

What I love most about the insincere religiosity of the right these days is how they keep making it crystal clear they don't actually read the Bible.

There were twelve *apostles* and, even then, there was one (Matthias) who replaced Judas and was known as the 13th apostle.

Otherwise, great work.

Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said.
 
Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any.
 
Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.

Okay this I can get behind

This fucking sucks

Nah let’s make a loud stink about years and years of GOP inaction in a flood prone area. Time to grow up and be a party with a message. Republicans do not care about people. Let’s stop clutching our pearls at the small shit like this.

Republicans pulled an all-nighter to:

-strip healthcare away from 17 million Americans
-take food assistance away from 3 million Americans
-eliminate school meal access for 18+ million kids
-send energy costs soaring
-add $3.3 trillion to national debt
-raise health care premiums for seniors

Wow.

The GOP is just pathetic, really pathetic

Right-Wingers To Women: Stay Home And Have Babies! The right-wing routinely demonizes family-friendly policies of liberals as “social engineering.”

If right-wingers actually wanted to support families, they’d be backing family-level wages, free child care, and Medicare for all. Everything else is political BS.

The cruelty is the point.

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping?

Senator Elizabeth @warren.senate.gov: "I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors — all while working people and small businesses paid the price."

Fuck

Senator Chris Murphy for Minority Leader. Remove Schumer.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

The irony of people doing this fake virtue signaling (after an entire campaign rife with fainting spells over the cost of eggs), is that their political deity is famous for manufacturing his clothing outside the US and for failing to pay American contractors.

Army Blackhawk helicopters are crashing into passenger planes at DCA while the Secretary of Defense is on Fox News ranting about DEI

BREAKING: Video shows 2 aircraft colliding over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C.

I know nobody wants to talk about this but the obvious solution is to rezone the neighborhoods that need to be rebuilt anyway — higher fire resistance standards, much higher density.
