American deceptionalism. Congress is a cesspool of corruption and self-dealing.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.@qasimrashid.com · last wk.Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.
Mitch McConnell would have replaced Mitch McConnell a month ago. Why can’t the Dems get their shit together?
If only there were a term to describe a person who is forced to labor against their will to benefit another, under some form of coercion, regardless of whether they are compensated. I guess “job lock” it is.
NPR@npr.org · 2w agoAbout 24% of U.S. employees stay in unwanted jobs just for health insurance, a report out Wednesday finds. Up significantly since 2021, the uptick in "job lock" is a concerning sign for the U.S. economy. n.pr/4gQIY5E
Todd Blanche is violating federal law by covering up the Epstein files. Rather than confirming him as attorney general, the Senate ought to demand his prosecution.
This goes for every idiot Democrat who did that. Graham was a malignancy dangling from the asshole of America.

Nice living in Canada… tonight, we had salad, with lettuce, and romaine lettuce, mandarin orange slices and berries… not even a little worried about the plumbing, because we do not have morons running our country.
Gas is high. Groceries are high. Rent is high. Wages are stagnant. Another forever war. ICE is committing murder on our streets. We can’t eat fresh produce and our national monuments and parks are being pillaged. But, at least the president has made billions of dollars in the last year…
A historic moment in Paris! For the first time ever, Ukrainian troops marched down the Champs-Élysées for Bastille Day celebrations. Even the skies joined in, featuring Ukrainian pilots flying in French Mirage fighter jets. A truly powerful symbol of European solidarity. 🇺🇦🇫🇷
I know this is divisive and unpopular with those all-important centrist white suburban voters, but don't think it makes us safer to spend half our civic budget on a murder gang.
molly conger@socialistdogmom.bsky.social · 3w agomost murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.

It appears that Lindsey Graham was deadly serious about being anti-woke.
The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti
The American political system is a fucking cesspool of corruption. They do not represent the voters. They couldn't care less about them.
Laura Bassett@lebassett.bsky.social · 4w agoMcConnell is likely braindead and they’re hoping to conceal it through the August 3 special election deadline. It’s important to make the story so big that they can’t

Wrote this last October. It’s long been abundantly obvious
Maine has been ratfucking itself and the country since 1996, the first time it elected Collins. It's been 30 years. They've had plenty of time to unratfuck itself.
Kathryn Brightbill ✒️@kebrightbill.bsky.social · last mo.Graham Platner has managed to ratfuck Maine and the country because he thinks he's owed a Senate seat
Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"
Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"
This kind of thing doesn't happen without complicit Democratic Centrists. It's not just the wholly corrupt Republican Party.
Dr. Dave@drdave1999.bsky.social · last mo.Of course, no educated individual would ever suggest that the U.S. is a functioning democracy any longer. You’d have to look at North Korea to see a nation as indescribably corrupt as America.
She is a hideous monster. I feel bad for her kids. No child should grow up with such a hateful racist creature.
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · last mo.What’s remarkable about all this stuff is the stolen valor. You didn’t build shit, you won a birth lottery. You are a podcaster not Emperor Vespasian. bsky.app/profile/just...
