Shockingly few Democrats will call him out for this statement I'm sorry to say.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

democrats in Congress really need to start building the case to lock Elon up and be ready to hand it to the next attorney general on January 20th 2029

At least the Republicans know they're lying, what's your excuse for being dumb enough to believe them?

DSA fans really need to update your priors about DSA- which is now dabbling in anthrax attacks against Dem members of Congress

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

Lost in all the Atlantic and NY Times think pieces on how dangerous the DSA left is to the party is the fact that we're the only faction with any kind of plan to build a better world.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

This is our KPD/SPD moment, if the centrists can't stand with the left against this it's all over.

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

Q: Many feel you have not addressed the fact your son in law is a white supremacist influencer. What have you said to your family? COLLINS: That's my family OSSOFF: Imagine running for Senate while neo-Nazi propaganda is disseminated to an audience of millions from your home. That's Mike Collins.

@janetmillsforme.bsky.social would you care to explain why you disagree with Obama on winning the Senate?

Troy Jackson@troyjackson207.bsky.social

Honored to have President Obama standing with us in this fight. This campaign is about working people taking their power back — and building a government that works for them. Now let’s finish the job. Get out and vote.

Liberalisms arguably greatest triumph, the expansion of education and the end of teen pregnancy, has some downstream effects y'all just need to be okay with.

The political equivalent of blaming invisible men on the moon for why your car doesn't start. It's incredible what kind of unwell behavior we excuse as a society so long as it's dressed up in politics.

It's because disenfranchisement of prisoners is a remnant of Jim Crow, both as a means of preventing black people from voting but also corralling us into districts where our population gives them congressional representation without our input.

James Hell Brooks@kleinman.bsky.social

This take actually seems pretty popular on Bluesky but I don't think anyone living in a coercive environment like prison has the ability to cast a free and fair ballot.

This is how you summon bond vigilantes.

Russ Vought: "We fund what we need to fund. I'm not at all shy about we want to spend billions of dollars on a new shipyard. We're up there defending the $1.5t that the Department of War needs. But it's also coming at a ton of reduction on the non-defense side"

The live react is just... *chef's kiss*

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

As much as I think the 2028 primary will be a referendum on issues like Israel/Palestine, universal welfare policies, etc. the fact of the matter is if some centrist comes along promising to throw Trump and everyone within 3 degrees of separation from him in prison they're handidly winning it.

should be instructive for democrats that Magyar is living up to his promise to prosecute Orban officials for corruption and is continuing to poll extremely highly

Imagine seeing generations of black suffering and think, "It was good the North gave up on their reconstruction." Just because you're feeling the consequences of your own failed reconstruction.

Can we get Stacey Abrams back come on we're dying out here.
