why do no republicans ever feel ashamed about anything ever

I still brutalize myself internally on the regular for mispronouncing "awry" in fifth grade and being corrected by the teacher in front of a girl I had a crush on and these motherfuckers lie, get caught, and just smile and repeat it.

If people are being asked to cut back on water usage so AI centers can have more for their cooling systems then we’ve already reached the point in the movie where the bots have taken over.

Ken Paxton is great because he's never not testing the limits of human reasoning. He's a pioneer in stupidity. He's like an astronaut for the completely spaced program. You've never seen someone more dedicated to being openly moronic without a shred of charm to show for it.

Texas Republicans being more committed to cheating voters with a frankenstein map than to doing emergency legislation to fix the state's flood warning systems is pretty much all you need to know about them.

There are no - absolutely zero - “legitimate” concerns about trans people in any context. THAT is the only correct answer. The entire trans panic is made-up garbage. THAT is the only thing Democrats should be pushing. Anything less is unacceptable.

I think everyone should be talking about lot more about how it’s clear the Epstein stuff is a palace coup with JD Vance trying to take over and how Trump had better be careful because they’re trying to fool him. This message should get to him a lot.

@repjasmine.bsky.social: "This president has not been able to wield the level of influence without the help of so many minions, including the Speaker... He's hoping that the news cycle will blow over over the next month... and we can come back and everybody's like, 'Jeffrey Epstein, who?'"

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

“Did not” influence is a different thing than “tried to, but failed.”

it isn’t hyperbole, donald trump has pardoned more child sex offenders than any president in american history

READ. THIS. THREAD.

the thing that the next dem candidate for president will have to understand and have to explain is that this court, with these powers, will not let a democratic president or a democratic majority govern, and that president and that majority will have to respond accordingly.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I would argue that the ICE funding was actually the real point of the bill.

That and buying off billionaires to ensure in advance they do not object to a dictatorship.

The evil that men do lives after them

As he wrapped up his speech, Brad Lander again congratulated Mamdani, whom he cross-endorsed. And Lander, who is Jewish, declared, “We are not going to let anyone divide Muslim New Yorkers and Jewish New Yorkers.”

I am weeping

BREAKING: Andrew Cuomo officially CONCEDES the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City to Zohran Mamdani

Brad Lander: "We are sending Andrew Cuomo back to the suburbs."

"Andrew Cuomo is in the past. He is not the present or future of New York City. Good fucking riddance."

Zohran Mamdani is going to have an unholy amount of money spent against him in the next five months.

OK, so the President of the United States knowingly lied to the country on national TV about a matter of national security and war and peace that implicated the safety of US soldiers, his campaign promises, and the future of global geopolitics.

So what will his punishment be?

"Andrew Cuomo is visibly upset and people are crying"

Two things to keep in mind tonight:

1) Cuomo is an arrogant asshole.
2) NYC voters aren’t stupid.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.

It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)

It's so New York.
