This asshole has no agenda other than enriching himself. That’s the real Donroe Doctrine. Nothing that benefits the American people will ever come out of this administration. Dems should hammer on the message that he is an employee of We the People and it’s way past time to fire him for cause.

I’m sorry, but WHY ON EARTH would any judge still trust this administration? It’s been nothing but bad faith and lies in Every. Single. Case this DOJ argues.

These people will tell you that the right to bear arms ensures our liberty from the state. The individual is protected from the power of the state because he can…shoot at it, I guess.

Mark T. Sneed@marktsneed.bsky.social

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.

If you are the DOJ, it is unprecedented to lose 17 straight voting cases in 17 different courts without winning a single one. It's even more remarkable when 8 of them were decided by judges appointed by Trump. How long will the networks ignore this? How long will Trump?

We joke around a lot about our British friends on this app but you really have to admire their commitment to changing their leader when everybody fucking hates them

@jahimes.bsky.social are you still vouching for the election denier?

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

All we should be talking about is Susan Collins and how terrible she has been at representing her constituents. We need to remind every Maine voter of how she has enabled Trump, increased health insurance premiums, caused housing to be unaffordable, and screwed over women—time and again.

Stupidest times. We live in the stupidest of times.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

We don't ordinarily publish posts at [checks watch] 8:51 PM on a Friday night, but state constitutional law expert Quinn @yeargain.bsky.social has an outside-the-box idea for reversing the VA Supreme Court that is very much worth taking seriously: Dems can simply lower the retirement age.

We live in a time dominated by deeply unserious people making deeply unserious arguments in support of tragically serious results that serious people would have both avoided and known to avoid.

One insurance denial for Teressa’s husband stated, “your newborn does not meet the criteria for coverage.” “This is when I really start to think they’re just denying,” she recalled. “They’re not even looking. They’re just ‘deny, deny, deny.’” (Published Sept. 2025)

But their insurance provider refused to cover the treatment, deeming it “not medically necessary.”

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

If you had a billion dollars and did nothing but kept it stuffed under a mattress, you could spend $1k a day. For 2750 years. Now imagine the fucks with that kind of money who are not content except to make life miserable for everyone else. That's what we're dealing with.

Journalists who are still attending the WHCD this year don't seem to get just how much things have changed. It isn't 1998. You're not going to pose for cute photos with the West Wing stars at "nerd prom." You're enabling a regime who's assaulting your own profession & you're torching your career.

@blumenthal.senate.gov dude, read the room and remember your job is to represent your constituents. WE DONT WANT TO FUND OR SUPPORT THEIR GENOCIDE.
