Awful

So the Christian Nationalists want to stream a public execution. No longer care what kids see. Don’t care about violence on our screens. Just the final nail that their pearl clutching and morality screeds was all a fraud and these people just want a handmaids tale future. Disgusting.

Democrats should consider dusting off Senator Cardin’s Progressive Consumption Tax proposal. Republicans have really mangled our current tax code and trying to fix it will be difficult. Better to burn it down and start over

Trump: They came up with the word affordability. They always come up with these fake words

Let’s move the House of Representatives to somewhere centrally located, like Kansas. Increase the size of the body for better representation. Build housing for representatives to stay so they don’t have to maintain separate housing. And build high speed rail from each region to the new location.

Unearthed records reveal Ken Paxton spent over $1.9 million in taxpayer dollars to take 275+ out-of-state trips to places such as California wine country, Caribbean resorts, and luxury European destinations.

First defense related bill for Dems: project meridian and similar partnerships makes all participants unable to take part or advocate for defense contracts

What exactly is the point of electing Republicans if their only constituency is Donald Trump? What do they even stand for at this point? Trump has destroyed their party platform, belittled their history and past leaders, and is going to send many of them packing. Even Senators gave up agency. Crazy

Just the way they are meant to be enjoyed one time per year

It might help for Dems to point out that the $5000 check won’t even make up for the rise in costs that Trump’s policies will create. Groceries, health insurance, housing….all of it is going up.

Stack the court

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

Where the Dem leadership ready to fill this void?

Seems pretty obvious that the timing of Trump’s latest media action is yet another attempt to turn around his poll numbers by ginning up a new fight against one of his bases enemies. It’s worked in the past so obviously he’s going back to the well.

Are we great again yet?

The first executive order of the next president should be to rename all porta-potties “Trumps”. Since we are renaming things and he wants his name on everything, this seems fitting.

#uber has got to do something about increase in driver cancellations. It’s happening so often in SF that I’m losing all confidence in using them. Starting to feel like the old SF taxi situation. This morning as I asked the driver if I can put my bag in his trunk, he just drove off and cancelled. WTH

Getting rid of regulations is good they said…..

Where are the dem leaders calling out republicans for hypocrisy on Osoff

Where is the high profile Dem alluding to Natalie today? Cmon folks. This isnt hard. Republicans have been doing this to you for years

When party leaders forsake coalitions, they stay out of power. Embrace the Will Rogers quote “I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.”

Really hope the next generation of Dems are ready to laugh at the Republicans who try to blame Dems for everything the Trump admin tore down. Laugh, berate, and make the squirm. “Oh you want that data now? Didn’t seem to care when Trump disbanded that part of the agency. Pound sand”

I’m actually surprised by how angry the Blanche vote makes me. This is the type of thing we just never would have seen several years ago. Primaries are over and the sniveling cowards still voted for someone who is clearly unethical and unqualified. I hope this vote hurts them for a generation

Dems should completely ifnore the Trump IRS settlement and immediately start audits/investigationsbof his m and his family when back in power. You cannot make a settlement agreement with yourself.

Feel like the media is leaning too much into the progressive vs centrist narrative, when the reality seems to be fighters/change vs norms/old school. People are sick of the current Dem leaders who talk about writing letters and sit back waiting to be back in charge.

When does MAGA admit that Trump’s fragile ego is the root cause of our federal government acting completely irrationally?

Correct. Her votes against the party never matter, except when she has cover (ie McCain)

Why are Dems bad at making Republicans nervous about their votes? Instead they prefer letting republicans pass these things that they should be against and trying to use it to win elections. That’s not leadership. Every republican up for election in 2026 should be nervous about confirming Blanche

The Dodgers are bad for baseball

Another day, another atrocity.

😕🤷🏼

Starting to think all these posts about Dems not doing enough regarding exposing McConnell’s health are actually just Republican ops trying ti get Dems to attack each other. Mostly because it seems to be working. And it’s stupid.

Very few people know things like this. When in doubt, share.

Saw a 80s revival festival last night. “Totally Tubular”. It was fun, but finally got to see a band I was a bit too young to see when they last played live: Bow Wow Wow. They were phenomenal. Only four songs which was just not enough. Really hope to see Annabella out touring more!

WTF is going on? How is this legal?

I’m captivated by all of the SheWeekend footage in Vegas. Perhaps Trump should try to be more like FlavorFlav. Inclusive. This is everything the 250 anniversary was not

So why do the statements made by leftists in very liberal areas impact the election chances of Dems in purple areas, BUT the insanity of crazy racist republicans in ultra red areas doesn’t impact elections in same purple areas? I never hear republicans as concerned with the rantings of their fringe

this little niche of Trump immigration policy is like a performance for the dream world alt reality of the MAGA universe. where the US is a kind of refuge for huddling masses seekers for freedom and democracy but fleeing great replacement in purported white homelands

A man whose life sentence was commuted by Kristi Noem has now been charged in the death of his 14-year-old niece.

Trump's DOJ has killed a criminal investigation into Trump's pardon of David Gentile, a private equity executive convicted in a $1.6 billion fraud scheme. Gentile had discussed making payments of over $2.5 million to Trump allies to help facilitate the pardon.

FUCK CHUMP, SAVE LIBERTY......

As if the @sfgiants.com pitching hasn’t been bad enough, the also chose to be bigots. Really disappointing

Let’s get more of this into the platform.

It kinda feels like Dem leadership would rather let Trump do dumb stuff in order to improve their election chances rather than put the energy into stopping him.

We do need election reform. First on the list, you can’t lie to the public about election procedures or results. Felony. Second, you can’t institute processes that make it harder to vote. Three, real campaign finance reform with strong limits to contributions from those outside of your constituency
