agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Please primary @schumer.senate.gov. He is a waste of air.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

As if you’re up to the task of doing anything about it. You’re a feckless little do-nothing dork, Hakeem.

He ruined the Kennedy name. In 2025, he's the most prominent Kennedy, and the name is now dogshit

Major media once thought a Trump dictatorship was impossible, so they didn't warn the public about it.
Major media now see the dictatorship arriving, so they're afraid to warn the public about it.

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

#ReleaseTheCuomoList

That was Andrew’s work early in his career, proving your point perfectly!

I’m too young/moved to NYC too late to have any memory of/experience with Mario Cuomo, but judging by his sons, I’d have to assume he was a real POS too. And if he wasn’t, they’ve essentially ruined his legacy and their family name.

Still the greatest takedown of men who complain about women's voices on podcasts/radio (written by Katie Mingle of 99% Invisible)

When will you be joining your colleague in endorsing Mamdani, @meng.house.gov ?

2025: ohhh ok

the singular message of this ad is "zohran loves new york city" and it is incredibly effective

There is actually a very accurate historical document of the post-9/11 vibes.

Far-Right ‘Appeal to Heaven’ Flag Seen at Jan. 6 Riot Flown Above Government Agency in DC The "Appeal To Heaven" flag, a popular symbol for Christian nationalists that was waved by January 6 rioters, was raised over the Small Business Administration headquarters last week.

I second this as someone who has loves living in cities.

But even if you have no personal tie to big cities, please recognize that valorizing small town/rural Americans over cities is a key element of fascist ideology.

The volk of the land vs the foreign, rootless city types. It’s a BAD trope.

For a little context here: Christ Church put forward a zoning request to open a shelter for unhoused people - I think it was like 12 beds. The local government of Toms River is responding by trying to eminent domain the church and turn it into a pickleball court

I love that the Pulitzer site is straight up like "Yeah, she won because she's so fearless that she quit her job over censorship," and WaPo is still like "Look! We won!" and just acting oblivious to how this makes them look.

Tbh idk. I’m sure Suprema’s are good. They’re overall excellent on everything else

"These are kids who will never pay taxes," Kennedy declared. "They'll never hold a job. They'll never play baseball. They'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted. We have to recognize we are doing this to our children."

I honestly can’t stop thinking about this RFK speech. A lot of the outrage around it is focused on pointing out that it’s not true.

But so fucking what if it was? Do people whose bodies don’t work not deserve to exist in society? If all these things were true for a person are they less worthy?

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been sitting in a Salvadoran prison for over a month because the Trump Admin made a mistake.

Now, the Admin is defying SCOTUS & refusing to bring him back.

If we allow Trump to violate Kilmar's rights, none of our rights are safe.

Kilmar is all of us.
