If D leadership is making a point not to talk impeachment, does anyone really think the party’s potential 2028 standard-bearer is gonna blow up their spot a week before the election?
Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…
I'm here to lecture you on the failures of the American Democratic party and I am from
Yes you are allowed to care about Brazilian elections. But the fact that US politics have become an MMORPG for right wing Twitter users is actually a negative development. And aren't you, an American, tired of hearing from Canadian Bluesky users about how we're on the verge of dictatorship?
"Take a look at my cousin. He's an anarchist, don't do shit."
I will never understand the psychological profile of leftists who demand that liberals, who they will never support, acknowledge that leftists are honorable. "You have to admit anarchists do important work in their communities!" no, i don't! you won't acknowledge anything liberalism does!
In the Midwest / Northeast, Cheesecake Factory is the undisputed champion of "well we have all these gift cards your mom keeps sending us, we might as well eat there"
As a Cheesecake Factory appreciator, the RWNJs claiming Obama’s (correct) burn will offend voters are dead wrong. If it were as popular as they imagine, it would have more locations.
Feeling pretty good about Turek in Iowa as these clout-chasing ratfuckers go into futile overdrive. Wins before clicks.
Josh Turek’s rank bigotry is a betrayal of American values. His stance on trans rights is to the right of West Virginia, Alabama & seven other red states’ laws. Dems are +9 on trans issues; there is no moral or political reason to take this stance except to oppress trans people. Turek is a traitor.
This riff did not start, nor will it end. It simply is. Your only choice is to feel its boundless energy.
Name a song that makes you feel ready to take on the world.
The answer is literally right there in the picture LOL
A Sun-Times/WBEZ investigation confirms one driver's lament that it was "the worst traffic I've ever had to deal with." Worse yet, epic delays persist — a year after a three-year construction project ended and Gov. JB Pritzker promised “faster commutes.”

Cue takes that it's BAD that Chuck Schumer is GOOD at all of his ACTUAL JOBS because that means Dems will be FECKLESS FOREVER
Maybe an unpopular take on here, but, with the glaring exception of Maine, Chuck Schumer didn't do too terribly in recruiting Democratic Senate candidates. -Cooper's set to win big in #NCSen -Brown is in the lead in #OHSen -Peltola is leading in #AKSen -Turek is competing in #IASen
NYT, 2004: What is your I.Q.? Stephen Hawking: I have no idea. People who boast about their I.Q. are losers. www.nytimes.com/2004/12/12/m...
Yuuuuuuuuuuuup. I've mentioned before that when I was, like, 10, my IQ was very important to me. The older I've become the more I've recognized IQ is, if not just plain nonsense, then a wildly limited way to understand how one's brain gets along in the world and with other humans.

"It’s a bitter vindication for antiwar voices who warned for years that NATO member states were sleepwalking into a wider, more dangerous confrontation with Russia." Challenge: Tankie Mag Assign Russia Any Perceivable Level of Agency Difficulty Level: Impossible
After years of warnings that the war in Ukraine could spiral into a full-on Russia-Europe conflagration, the conflict has reached a point where this is a real possibliity. It’s a prospect that threatens not just European lives but the entire globe.
