“For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.” - Chuck Schumer, August 2016. Same playbook as 2024. He was right about losing losing Dem voters!

Spot on.

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

Trans athletes are a tiny % of all athletes. Fewer than 10 out of >500k US college athletes identify as trans. I don’t hear anything abt them haze raping. Yet, 1 in 5 women will be raped during their time in college. How about bitching against frat houses who drug & gang rape women & get away w/it?

Fun fact: Democrats had to be dragged kicking and screaming into impeaching Trump. They didn’t want to do it. The leader of the Dems said he would “self impeach” and spent the last 5-6 years pleading for “strong Republicans.” She didn’t give a fuck and most of them didn’t.

Fun fact: Democrats impeached Trump. Twice.

"Why Won’t Mainstream Media Talk to Hasan Piker?" The streamer tells Zeteo's Justin Baragona which shows he’d love to go on – if they’d just ask. Plus, the latest BBC censorship on the genocide in Gaza. Read/share/subscribe to Zeteo's 'Ragebait' media column:

Republicans have made their election strategy very clear: 1) Islamophobia 2) transphobia 3) blatant lying 4) cheating / suppressing votes 5) throwing endless dark + corporate $$ at all the above When I see Democrats HELPING them on 1 & 2 - or barely mentioning the rest - I want to break bones.

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

the problem with dc democrats and the media is they think that republicans are just play acting as fascists because when they speak to them one-to-one they act like perfectly nice people. the msm/dems operate like republicans have a wrestling type persona, but macho man never killed anyone (afaik)

this is how dumb you sound, democrats, when you accept the absurd premise that this is an issue that you need to campaign on

if the democratic establishment is so good at their jobs why are we currently led by donald trump, mike johnson, john thune and john roberts? and if the leftists are so powerful they threw those elections (they didnt) why can't the genius establishment stop them?

Matthew reposted

the establishment had its shot for over 30 years. it ultimately resulted in two terms for bush and trump. obama winning just papered over the very deep rot on the inside and now the bill is coming due. it is way past time.

"Don't take my word for it, listen to this Fox News segment" I am begging the establishment centrists to please, please, please shut the fuck up. You're worried about your sinecures and pretending the party itself is in danger. It's not. Shut. The fuck. Up.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

The Israeli government has displaced a total of 6 million people from their homes. (3 million Iran, 2 million Gaza, 1 million Lebanon). 6 million people. The equivalent of the entire population of Maryland displaced from their homes. By one government.

Maybe new NCAA Duke rule should be all players against Duke start with 2 fouls and Duke begins in the double bonus but then the game is called equally. This game is an abomination.

I don’t think it is legal for teams to play defense against Duke. If TCU even thinks of contesting a shot it is a foul. Meanwhile, Duke is just mauling dudes. lol #marchmadness

Democrats are on the path to winning this year, but it is by default. The party has done a horrific job on politics from almost the minute Trump was defeated in 2020. So, sure, they are winning right now — but it’s because we have no other choices. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

When Charlie Kirk died,Trump lowered flags nationwide for him. 6 US soldiers die and not only will he not lower the flags nationwide for them, he just says “some people will die.”

Trump could start a ground war - and institute the draft - and Congress would do nothing. Dems would continue to say "wait till the midterms".

rush limbaugh spent decades attacking jesse jackson because limbaugh was a racist piece of trash. not coincidentally he was the most influential conservative for over 30 years, because conservatism is a racist dumpster pile.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Yeah, media and Dem leadership are on the same page. Drawdown is a better story than reality. A real shame for those beaten and crushed by the boot

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

This is 100% correct. Also Pelosi, Obama and Biden have shut down hearings and oversight, much less prosecutions of Republican crimes for 20 years

Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social

ICE etc got a lot of this power and funding because Democrats (Obama, Biden and Clinton) are afraid of being called soft on policing and immigration by the right and now Trump has weaponized it. There’s a clear lesson here about standing up for shit instead of cowering to racists and fascists.

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents? Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

Matthew reposted

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

This is what leadership looks like. There is no excuse for Jeffries or Schumer to retain their seat, much less leadership positions.
