Hakeem Jeffries cannot become speaker in 2027. It would be a colossal waste of power and opportunity for Dems to elevate him again. They need to choose someone stronger and preferably isn’t to the right of the vast majority of American voters on healthcare.

I refuse to believe anyone is a Christian if they take any position that says poor kids shouldn't eat. At home. At school. Anywhere. I am sick of these horrible fucking people inventing ways to justify being cruel and hideous. Freaks.

Headlines: Such-and-such technology may someday be as smart as human brains! Reminder: *We already have human brains.* Billions of them. Most of them living in poverty and being exploited for the obscene benefit of a tiny number of the worst people in the world.

Huh. But exactly HOW are you working on those problems the hardworking American taxpayer wants you to solve? Oh, I see — by alienating potential allies. Checks out.

WELKER: Do democratic socialists belong in the Dem Party? JEFFRIES: What I can say is I do not support defunding the police, I do not support open borders, I do not support abolishing the Senate. We're focused on actually solving the problems hard-working American taxpayer want us to solve ...

SUCH an important point.

People who propose term limits for Congress, why do I rarely ever see you proposing anything that gets rid of the incentives for people in Congress to stay until they die?

I am filled with anger at what our government is doing. It’s just 10 arrests so far, yes; not a mass pogrom. But the fear is real and this is actual people who didn’t DO anything (except not immediately return to a country in the throes of danger).

ICE has started its crackdown in Springfield, Ohio -- the town where JD Vance accused Haitians of eating dogs and cats. Residents reported "a caravan of vehicles" conducting raids. One unnamed neighbor "praised all the Haitians who live around him." www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/spring...

It’s amazing how many political argument still used today originated with The West Wing.

MadGreek 🧿@madgreek2024.bsky.social

In this iconic scene from The West Wing, the argument isn't simply about religion, it's about selective morality. Who decides which biblical laws are still moral — and which ones we leave behind? Any fans of the show? I am starting to appreciate this show more now than ever.

Self-identifying as MAGA is a confession. At one time it perhaps could be excused as ignorance, but by now it is a clear statement of who they are and what their values are. Pro-corruption, cynicism, bigotry, viciousness, complete lack of empathy, willful ignorance, and utter disregard for humanity.

I've been thinking this for some time. Politicians like Ken Paxton and MTG grift in the dark. Trump does it openly and everyone cheers in support. His grift is aspirational.

No one is going to convince MAGA that Trump’s corruption is bad. Why not? Because they’ve thought about it and it’s what they would do if they were in Trump’s position. They would ALSO fleece the U.S. public.

Today is your reminder. Donald Trump is investing in all the companies that are involved in data center construction. He's bought millions and millions of stock in these companies , while POTUS and is also manipulating the stock market , while at war with Iran. Americans are not angry enough.

Hey Marco Rubio: Stop spreading propaganda. Cuba is NOT a national security threat to the United States. You have no business being Secretary of State or holding any elected or appointed office.

one thing that would help with reconfiguring social media influence would be if the democratic party stopped posting, providing free labor and credibility, on social media apps that are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to destroy them and their constituents
