since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

JENNINGS: Let's say Democrats take the House. How sure are you that they would immediately move to impeach President Trump? MIKE JOHNSON: It's guaranteed. Probably on the first day.

Man I’m seeing people post things like “you don’t know what Jeffries or the DNC have planned!” My dude if they have some great plan to save America they should probably start telling me about it because the secrecy sure isn’t helping

TVs have gone from bulky, heavy boxes with small, low-res interpolated screens to stupidly high-res, high-dynamic-range panels that can cover the better part of a wall, and weigh a fraction of what their CRT forebears did.

No. You worry about the slippery slope when you aren't already at the bottom of the chasm. Now? An ideological Supreme Court is discarding settled precedent on a whim, bad reasoning and worse history, and stacking the deck further with unreasoned shadow docket fuckery. Fuck the slippery slope.

"Court-packing would create a slippery slope to the destruction of judicial review...To the extent Callais is a problem, it can be better addressed by steps such as banning gerrymandering. There are also better remedies for various other shortcomings of the Court," writes @ilyasomin.bsky.social.

Todd Blanche, the President's former personal lawyer, is a corrupt grifter who has proven he will always put Trump above the law. Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that. I'm voting NO. We should not let these crooks run the DOJ like a mob family.

The Knicks were ahead halfway through the third quarter but there were wide changes in the results after that. It undermines integrity in the score.

RAJU: The president keep saying the California election was rigged. What evidence have you seen? SCALISE: You had wide changes after election night in the results R: They're just counting the ballots SCALISE: Look, whether you can prove fraud or not, it does undermine voter integrity in the vote

it is darkly funny that his son got married and he was like "ohhhhh uhhhh something popped up, you know, the war, I gotta do work on the war that night, unfortunately I just can't go" and then 2 weeks later, same war still going on, he's shutting down midtown Manhattan to watch the Knicks

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

Huffpost: Trump used Saturday's shooting outside the White House to repeat demands that his big ballroom be added to the executive mansion. Trump needs to be thankful he's a man, otherwise some people might think he's too chickenshit to be president. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

A crucial part of Project 2029 has to be performative trials and draconian sentencing for Trump administration officials up and down the organizational ladder. Treat all of them like Timothy McVeigh so that the gravity of their criminality and treason become enduring images in American history.

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

after democrats took office in 2009 and 2021 they told the left to go suck eggs. sorry, but thats what happened. after they win, dems never want to listen to the left. so this idea that these concerns can be tabled until after the election so they can be addressed is a lie.

Vibecession Forever@ghazelleberner.bsky.social

So fucking sick of this lie. The entire point is that you cannot demand better until Democrats have power. The constant ultimatums are why Dems keep losing. They can’t help from the minority. You get them elected, you support their campaigns, then they listen to you.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE. Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified. Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024. If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

Dan Martinez reposted

All of these senators pushing "reforms" need to explain how they will enforce them given the fact that ICE is a lawless band of Klansmen that breaks the law constantly.

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
