She won't do it as long as Travis is still playing.

Fuck ICE

I think it’s just because he’s Hispanic but I don’t have PhD in my display name

Have you watched Dan Olson’s video about the Audible scam version of this?

Part of me thinks the whole play is silly because the ratings are obviously going to be massive but I assume they're banking on operating in an information environment where their followers don't actually care about reality.

Sure!

Interesting perspective because I feel like I often see the opposite - people using “opposition party” for Dems as though it magically confers ability to govern in opposition, avoiding “minority” which acknowledges mathematics of voting.

What you won't give up the price of a few lattes so we can cut a check for god's specialist boy?

The problem with that is that democrats aren’t an insane cult of personality wholly subservient to the whims of Kamala as their supreme leader.

The absolute nadir of DO SOMETHING posting is doing it about politicians who literally don't even hold elected office anymore.

I think part of the reason things are so intense and chaotic right now is because Miller knows his only window of opportunity to accomplish his reign of terror is while Trump is in office and deferring to him and he also knows that window is not staying open until 2029.

I have a few ideas!

DHS is funded with or without this bill. They received $170b in the OBBBA last year (with zero Dem support), this funding is their annual slush fund on top of that money.

If he had retired Pressley would have run, but she wouldn't primary him.

Did you see Very Pink Knits post yesterday? I was gagged.

Deeply funny to look at the replies and quotes and see an even 50/50 split between people who know how to count and those who don't, however.

The gleeful ratfucking from these geriatric white men in sapphire blue seats is stomach turning. They will do anything to keep power even after decades in office, no matter who it harms.

It sure would be nice if one of my two senators wasn't actively lying to pander for votes because he's getting primaried.

The children LONG for Ayanna Pressley.

Truly hate that I will probably have to vote for this guy because the only people worse are his primary challengers.

This is patently false - ICE received $170b in funding in the OBBBA, what is in the budget bill is their yearly allocation on TOP of that slush fund.

Your engagement on this has been reductive and frankly, determined to misunderstand. At no point did I say “just wait until the next election” just like I never said “give up on the negotiations.” I followed you because I was curious about you as a candidate. My curiosity has been satisfied.

Your thinking is incredibly narrow. You see exactly one option and any suggestion that it is neither ideal nor should it be our sole focus as “giving up on it entirely.” You can’t just yell “lead,” you have to actually have a concept of what leadership entails.

I am not “uncomfortable” risking a shutdown. I think a shutdown as your only strategy when you are the only party incentivized to end it is setting yourself up for failure.

I am by no means a committed Markey voter, but the one thing I am not going to do in 2026 is vote for anyone who wastes precious time yelling at Democrats to make 47 a bigger number than 53 instead of devoting all of their time and energy on the actual enemy: Donald Trump and Republicans.

Rhetoric without a theory of action and an electoral strategy to accomplish your aims is empty posturing. It's seeking social media clout over the power to actually help people. It is not a convincing argument for why you should be one of 100 people in the country who gets to be in the Senate.

You're running for Senate, you're asking for my vote. I asked you what the levers of power available to the minority party are right now and your answer was "take a stronger negotiating stance" in a negotiation against nihilists intent on doing maximum harm. That is not serious political analysis.

Not a phrase, but my mind was blown when I realized the rest of the country does not use granite for their sidewalk curbs.
