When Republicans tell you they love the military, adore the troops, pray for their safety, always remember that time when a sitting US Senator broke a Marine's arm rather than listen to his grievances.

Missouri's Amendment 3 would restore an abortion ban with limited exceptions, but its ads focus on a different provision: banning gender transition care for minors. The campaign website never explicitly states it would repeal the constitutional right to abortion voters approved 2 years ago.

I believe the precise wording was "Shove that ballroom up your FAT ass!"

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

As his policies bankrupt them, Trump-supporting farmers fully embrace socialism. But only if it’s for them.

I like Democrats with balls.

I admit I forgot about this golden oldie.

Hmm. Nobody likes Missouri. If you live here under MAGA control, you know why.

If there's a bigger piece of ethical shit hiding behind his Christian ministry, I don't know who it could be.

It's coming, people. Buckle up.

Absofuckinglutely.

A must-read if you've ever given a dollar to Democrats. We've got to force the party to reform its election fundraising and spending habits. How the Consulting Class Is Eating the Democratic Party newrepublic.com/article/2163... via @newrepublic.com

Vote. Whatever inconveniences there may be, they are insignificant next to preserving democracy. Vote.

A goddamned traitor, in spirit, if not by definition.

Just reinforces a point that should never be forgotten: the Tr-mp stink wouldn't exist if it weren't for skunks like McCarthy, McConnell, Rubio, and, of course, Susan Collins.

The reason Tr-mp is so dangerous is because of people like Marco Rubio.

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

Democrats better have plans to rid the government of this bastard and his companies.

The Russians are barbarians and should be treated as such, not as people to negotiate new business deals with to benefit corrupt oligarchs in the US.

The awful truth is this: if Tr-mp had not raised tariffs, not started a very stupid war, and just been content with him and his godawful family stealing an unimaginable fortune, then prices would be more under control and many voters wouldn't give a shit about corruption.

It's past time. Democrats are cowards if they don't not only embrace this common sense idea, but shove it up Tr-mp’s ass.

I've become fairly jaded since Tr-mp came into our collective lives, but the fact that the press almost universally said ho-hum to the president suggesting certain American cities as bombing targets for Iranian nukes is, well, both depressing and fucking infuriating.

A BFD. As people get ready to fill their heating oil tanks for the winter, they learn it will cost 80% more than last year. Your early Christmas Gift from Trump and the Republican Party is that your Christmas present budget will now go to their friends in the oil business.

I'm beginning to wonder if tech bros are conscious, at least in ways that matter to our collective well-being.

Man, I hope this is a thing.

Let's face it: network news, if you're a regular consumer like I am, is each and every day failing to adequately address the moment. It's not just Tr-mp’s physical fitness for office either. His moral and governing fitness--the ubiquitous corruption and incompetence--barely gets mentioned.

Hard to disagree with this.

It's the "authorities could do nothing" part of this story that we can actually fix. Jfc.

In the end, as good as MS Now can be at times, it's still a corporation with very little, if any, ethics.

I never ever thought I would see such a dangerous unhinged psychopath running the US military. We’ve had some bad ones, but never like this.

25th Amendment? We can’t even get network news to air it or even mention it. It’s a massive national media coverup to hide the fact the we have an addled president.

“Do you support silencing the black vote? What would you say to MLK?” Sen John Kennedy (R-Louisiana): *Threatens to have @getfree-mvmt.bsky.social arrested*🤔 Racism is a helluva drug

Finally got around to this piece. Wow. For those of us who once loved our country unfailingly, who had hope for our ideals, who believed in at least slow progress, this essay will leave you absolutely depressed--and without any idea how we come back from the corruption and madness that we see.

The left also assumes that voters are as tuned into politics and policy as much as the activist class is. But you have to assume people aren't paying attention to anything politicians do--including ones who are actually hurting them--and it's part of your job to message to them every single day.

"Fuck around and find out."--Europe and Canada to Tr-mp

But....our highest court says: Corporations ARE people. Money IS speech. Of course they CAN buy politicians--and VOTES. That's the point.

I don't think people really understand the psychic impact of knowing that multiple times a day every day your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and everyone who could ever have any power over you is being flooded with agitprop designed to make them hate you

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Nailed it

At some point you have to decide whether you want a Democrat who doesn't share all of your views to win, or a Republican who shares NONE of your views to win. Sleeping is easier one way than the other.

What tweet? The press has moved on.

I say this every damn day.

Translation: Republican zealotry will kill you.

@dceiver.bsky.social wrote a great piece on how Dems need to handle "the political media’s tendency to chase conflict, collapse distinctions, and reject nuance." TL;DR:"it’s better to understand the stupid games this industry likes to play, and master them yourself." newrepublic.com/post/215105/...

Proud that Elias Law Group is in this fight in the Supreme Court to protect the voters of Missouri!

And if you think this is wrong and needs to be addressed they call you a communist
