More likely they were the ones who dropped it.

Indeed. They're doing it again in the Maine Senate race. A progressive gets energy and Schumer pushes an 80 yo establishment pol to get into the race.

There's one aspect you forgot. Whenever a real progressive energizes people - Bernie, AOC, Mamdani - establishment Dems do everything they can to sabotage, minimize and eradicate this energy.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

You can always count on @democrats.org to talk a good game about helping working people only to stab them in the back in the end. No wonder they keep losing to the worst Republican Party in American history. #democrats

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

In October, 'Washington Post' editorials fail to disclose Bezos interests

And (not the least bit surprisingly to anyone who has the remotest understanding of history), CPB's appeasement of Dear Leader did not save it from fascist rage and its eventual demise.

So the CPB tried to appease Dear Leader and it didn't end up saving them in the end? I am shocked. SHOCKED, I tell you.

In the past, so-called activist judges were described as such because they acknowledged the rights of individual citizens. Now they are described as such because they take away existing rights. Disgraceful.

Mamdani, Cuomo clash in final NYC mayoral debate: Key takeaways Mamdani attacked over affordability platform, support for Palestine; Cuomo challenged on sexual harassment.

@farenellphoto.bsky.social Saw a clip from this showing that Cuomo is as Trumpian as the orange guy. CUOMO: The state has been screwing the city for the last 10 years. MAMDANI: You were governor of the state for most of that time! www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10...

You have to respect their non-conformity. Just because NFL teams had been like 1162-0 all time when up by at least 18 with 5 minutes left, they didn't want to just follow the crowd!

It is no surprise that two criminal rackets - FIFA and the Trump org - are in cahoots on this.

If the track record is mixed - meaning it's worked well in some places and not so much in others - that suggests that the key is proper implementation.

Trump suggests he could move World Cup games out of Boston over β€˜unsafe conditions’ - The Boston Globe The president said that if he felt there were β€œunsafe conditions” in Boston, he would ask FIFA President Gianni Infantino to move games that are scheduled to be at Gillette Stadium.

Leaving aside the obvious fact that #Boston is safe, #MAGA is so stupid and hateful that they don't realize that the games are actually being played in Foxboro... 30 miles away from Boston. #republicans #trump #worldcup www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/14/n...

Special ed was always going to be a victim, since it was #DEI in action. You can expect the #fascists to next target the most successful example: the Americans With Disabilities Act. #maga #Trump #Republicans

Surprise! Vivek Ramaswamy’s Turning Point Event Derailed by Racism Event attendees asked Ramaswamy why he felt he could be the governor of Ohio even though he isn’t Christian.

It's amazing how many of these Uncle Toms actually believe the white wing will embrace them if they just hate enough of the "right" groups. newrepublic.com/post/201664/... #Republicans #maga #racism #ohio
