The reason social security has endured is because it’s a universal program. As soon as you start picking and choosing who can benefit, republicans will start using that as a means to destroy it
All I said was that really well-off Americans should not be collecting Social Security and people interpreted that to mean that I want to take it away from widows and orphans As usual, Bluesky is exhausting
Wow end of an era. Never thought I’d live to see the day such a prestigious, tradition filled and definitely real award would cease to exist www.nytimes.com/athletic/769...
At literally no point can this braying ass put the good of another person above his petty shitty nature
Q: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.
Did she have a fucking stroke? Is this a Fetterman situation?
"Cool kids on the Internet. They're doing the cool kid chatter. Some of 'em might be the coastal elites, making fun of how I talk. But let's be real. They're making fun of Michigan. They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, their criticism, only make me fight harder." -- Haley Stevens
The regular drumbeat of this argument, consistently framed the same way, feels as organic and authentic as the “Haley Stevens is ‘growing on me’” nonsense from earlier this week
If Andy Beshear does not push this to a conclusion that either has him appointing McConnell's replacement, or McConnell reappearing, Beshear will be out of Democratic politics. We need rabble-rousers, not the same quiet, proper Dems who keep losing.
In other words having a photo ID was the driver of fraudulent voting. How many more fraudulent votes would be cast under the GOP’s dubious SAVE Act scheme? Best to not adopt an unproven system in place of the status quo that works and is safe.
THE TRUTH ABOUT NEW JERSEY: It was a glitch. These folks didn’t try to register to vote as US citizens. When they applied for driver’s licenses or IDs, they correctly identified as non-citizens. A software glitch overrode their non-citizen status & mistakenly added them to voter rolls.
Curious what 2028 hopeful has a media team pushing this narrative out to reporters to parrot online… Certainty not an ethically slimy California governor
The longer Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear fails to find out what’s happening or what happened with Mitch McConnell—and act—the more Beshear looks utterly incompetent and weak.
As to point 2, that’s just the internet, sadly. But I hope you find folks here that are a little more chill and open to conversation without the outrage responses
The two common complaints were 1) I haven’t been persecuted enough, and 2) my comments are closed to followers and people I follow. (The tenor of their quote reposts, by the way, are the reason for “2.” This can really, *really* be a vile and mean-spirited place.)
Fascism is the events of imperialism turned inward. 20 years of practicing terrorizing people around the world will now be used on us
Declaring Islamic terrorism "severely diminished," Rubio said the counterterrorism apparatus must be retooled to confront the supposed threat from "far-left terror," Reuters reports.
Whoops, he accidentally said the flimflam sales pitch he used to sell the rightwingers on his shitty xerox machines
Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "This technology disrupts humanity's train, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working class, often male voters. These disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of our society."

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social
@golden.house.gov great vote to fund ICE. You’re already retiring. Maybe take ONE good vote in the way out the door.
