Ah I see it’s time for periodic “Republicans felt like Democrats were mean to them several decades ago, so they had no choice but to roll back a bunch of people’s civil rights and generally destroy the constitutional order” discourse. Excellent as always

my first thought was, well it wasn't a thought so much as a feeling of horror

but my second thought was, shit like this is why we need an actual functioning government. I would like government agencies to make and enforce regulations that keep Sepsis Soap from hitting the shelves in the first place

WATCH — Smug a**hole @scottjenningsky : “What are you thirsty for, some kind of relevance? I don’t even know what you do for a living.”

@julieroginsky.bsky.social : *dunks on him for 60 seconds with Trump’s obvious hypocrisy on DC after failing (intentionally) to call on the Guard on 1/6*

What’s craaaazy to me is that a Minnesota state rep was ASSASSINATED and nothing even remotely close to this happened there

same guy lmao

Issue-specific targeted checkpoints like DUI checkpoints can be constitutional, but a generalized roust-everyone-for-anything checkpoints are definitely not. There may be an exception for a special purpose to help a career sex pest and rapist evade attention to his connection to a serial pedophile.

Saw this post while scrolling, read the text without seeing the image, got as far as “A sitting Republican senator says he is so scared driving in DC,” and thought, “It’s gonna be Markwayne Mullin.”

Hoagie assault guy, if convicted, will be punished more strongly than J6 folks who beat police officers with poles and other objects and are now walking free (and probably joining CBP)

WATCH: “WE WERE LIED TO.”

@tnbrando.bsky.social on the shady vote in MASON, TN last night where the mayor & board approved ICE/CORE CIVIC detention facility contracts after telling the crowd they had rejected them… then changing the result when they left.🤔

Oh wow Murkowski you dumb bag of dogshit. Let this be a lesson to anyone dumb enough to do a deal. He'll screw you and invite Putin to drill in your state

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Veterans are really getting screwed by Trump The inspector general for the Department of Veterans Affairs released a report on Tuesday revealing staffing shortages across the veterans’ health care system, which will be exacerbated by the Trump a...

i wrote about how trump is hurting the veterans with his actions at the va and today the va press secretary made it clear to us they didn't like what we wrote.

please click and share this story so you can see the kind of thing the trump administration does not like www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Your favorite brands are funding anti-abortion legal campaigns Big-name companies are donating to a powerful political group using the legal system to expand abortion restrictions nationwide.

1. Since Roe was overturned, Republican AGs have engaged in aggressive legal campaign to limit abortion not only in their states, but across the nation.

These efforts are being financed by major American corporations — including CVS, United HealthCare, Airbnb, and the parent company of Coachella

Criminal immigrants, government waste, rampant crime, dangerous vaccines — if we've learned anything from the first six month of Trump 2.0 it's that Republicans have based their entire ideology on lies. Kind of wish the media made that clearer during elections!

You have to admit it was innovative to destroy government services AND not save any money in the process

Scams And Bribery Are Becoming the Foundation of Our Economy It's bad and you should be alarmed.

The extent to which the American economy is being transformed into a machine for scams and outright bribery should be spoken about more directly.

Buried in the regime's political takeover letter of the Smithsonian is the worst bit. Unlike exhibits, which are non-destructive towards primary materials, temporary in nature, and reversible, the foundational collections are irreplacable. They want to be able to throw stuff out.

This local news article never mentions Rep. May's party (he's a Republican) but includes his pure deflection CSAM alias:

"In June, the U.S. Attorney's Office accused May of sharing videos depicting child sexual abuse material on the social messaging app Kik under the username "joebidennnn69.'"

The president wants nothing so dearly as he wants to see American troops gunning down the people he doesn’t like

Price check on fascism.

There are three Truth and Reconciliation commissions the United States needs to undertake before this nation ever has a chance to heal:

1) the original genocide of Native Americans

2) the sabotage of Reconstruction

3) the unwillingness to hold the Republican Party responsible for January 6th

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

Talarico on Fox: "If Republican policies are so popular, why do they have to redraw the maps before the election? ... this is like two football teams coming out of the locker room at halftime and the team that's ahead says they want to change the rules for the second half so they can win the game."

When Republicans hold power, they hurt people, tank the economy, and then distort our democracy to preserve their power because hurting people and tanking the economy is unpopular.

Anti-trans bigots are assaulting girls in bathrooms.

Trans women are not.

"Can Trump act like a specific dictator before the Left accuses him of acting like some kind of dictator? My name is Chris Rufo and for some fucking reason the editors at the New York Times think I'm smart."

John Oliver on ICE’s latest scheme: turning immigration court into a deportation trap.

People show up for their hearings, doing things the “right way” — only to get cuffed in the hallway.
