This is simply not true. We do not want to stop after only two years.

Indeed. We are not forcing upon Graham the memory of him being a villain, a coward, and a malignant presence in the country; that was the legacy he chose again and again. He earned our contempt, as has everyone else on his path.

Some Dems who lose primaries are gonna be mostly fine Dems with decent voting records. Too bad. The party, and most importantly the country, are in crisis. Things must change.

I have yet to hear a reason why taking a week to count votes presents any substantive problem. Everything boils down to "it's annoying, to me"

"Millions of Americans are wondering if this president is delusional and thinks he's Jesus Christ" -- Brilliant line of questioning here from Rep. Takano to RFK Jr about Trump's nutso social media posts and what it says about his mental health

Swalwell that ends well

With all the issues happening right now that are crushing Republicans before the midterms, it is clear they have decided that they have no answers to fix the harm they have done so their entire focus for weeks has been on trying to federalize elections to rig them.

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

What would your reaction be if the President of the United States said, “Under serious consideration for complete destruction & certain death are groups of people not considered for targeting until this moment"?

Boycott CVS

Why are there multiple actors playing Blippi?? This is not needed.

I was looking for some latkes But all I found was sour cream and applesauce

Since when does autocorrect not capitalize i what is going on in this world??

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

Full-on disaster for the elites of this country, from the White House to Wall Street. The public has rejected them.

Gavin Newsom just said the quiet part out loud: “All this anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Period. Full stop.” And he’s right. “Anti-woke” was never about ideas, it was a marketing campaign to sanitize racism, roll back progress, and make bigotry sound intellectual.

To all the people saying “gotta give Trump credit at least he solved the Israel-Palestine conflict,” you predictably already look like an idiot not one week later.

Yeah there are no available funds though. That’s what a shutdown is. You chose to stop funding the military. Appropriate funding or STFU

Who cares what they say? Why not just tell us who is actually to blame?

Remember how lefties used to say "abolish ICE" back in the 2010s, and got roundly scolded by the centrists for it ever since, and now events have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were 1000% on the correct side of history, but somehow they're still being scolded? Fun.

It’s weird that people have a huge problem with tax dollars being used to subsidize part of the cost of someone’s soda with SNAP, and no problem with our tax dollars being used to subsidize the entire cost of a billionaire’s private jets and yachts with Trump’s tax cuts.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

Can’t really articulate how furious it makes me to see gentile politicians wield fake charges of antisemitism against Mamdani. It’s not just the plain Islamophobia, it’s the fact that they’re needlessly stoking tensions in a way that puts Jewish New Yorkers at GREATER risk.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

At the end of the day, the Constitution is just paper. It's only useful as a framework that people voluntarily choose to follow. If the government chooses not to use that framework and nobody will or can stop it, it ceases to function.

Took our two year old son to his first protest today. He was raising his fist in the air and yelling “this is what democracy looks like!” @maddow.msnbc.com @50501movement.bsky.social

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.

I hate this idea that because we criticize Dems, we aren’t criticizing Trump. The getaway driver (dems) are equally culpable when they bail out Republican atrocity. We criticize Dems because we EXPECT them to be better. We know Republicans are horrifying. We don’t want dem getaway drivers.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Perfect for the Trump era: Carmen Sandiego now works for the government??

Conscience of Congress Removed: Al Green Walked Out: Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, Maxine Dexter, Andrea Salinas, LaMonica McIver, Sydney Kamlager-Dove, and several others Refused to Attend: AOC, Chris Murphy, Ron Wyden, Patty Murray, Gerry Connolly, Don Beyer History will honor these names 🔝

As a cishet dude, when I see a Dem ditch trans rights, it sends a message: you ain't got no fight in you, no principles, just another empty suit. Think I'm some too-online outlier? Go ask your expensive consultants why people don't bother to vote. It's because they know you're all empty suits.

I hate the whole “this is a distraction” thing people do because they usually mean “this thing is happening to other people, not me.”

This is a pathetic message. Delete it, fire whoever wrote it, and call an emergency press conference to tell us how the Democrats are responding to fascism. Pizza prices are not my top concern right now, and you’re showing us you don’t understand the moment at all. Do better.

We should be divided. One side is cranks and criminals who want to roll back the Enlightenment and impose techno-feudalism. We should be against them.

It's amazing how badly most congressional Democrats are misreading the mood of their base. On the bright side, if you're ever considered running for Congress, the 2026 Democratic Party primaries are going to be a prime moment for "throw the old guard out" insurgents.

In the words of @izzos.us: “There are two types of people in the world. People who think Elon Musk is a modern day Henry Ford.”

@alyankovic.bsky.social Thought you should know that, at 27 months (really), my son told me this joke: Q: What did Weird *OWL* do when he saw a mouse? A: Eat it

I’ve heard of “Do Not Open Until Xmas” but Must Open Before Xmas?!?

Just tried joining Bluesky and it looks like I already did two years ago. Well, hi again!

Alright now I'm on this one too.
