During the height of the pandemic, McConnell blocked various federal paid sick and family leave extensions in congressional stimulus packages — and then laughed about it.
The Contrarian@contrariannews.org · 1h agoMcConnell’s FMLA vote to derail even unpaid leave was hardly a career one-off.
There's a lot of things wrong with our government , which is why and how trump was able to use foreign access and billionaire access to circumvent everything.
Jennifer Shin - WTAF@jennifershin.bsky.social · 5h agoThe problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.
Democrats are consolidating as predicted. Excellent. Whitmer, Stevens, McMorrow and even Schumer rally behind Abdul El Sayed. He can and will beat Rogers who is weak and tied to an unpopular Trump and GOP. All gas.
El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Some things just need to be said: 86 47. Fuck ICE. The PotUS is a rapist. 34% of Americans are traitors. The SCotUS is horrifically broken. The "administration" is a criminal enterprise. The government is killing people because it doesn't like them. And we're all patiently waiting for the midterms,
Honestly is anyone surprised? I'm not. This is what you get when you elect a criminal who wants to be king to be President. Project 2025 told us exactly what was going to happen. And here we are.
Rare credit where it’s due. This is the correct headline.

🚨 @abdulelsayed.bsky.social just secured a game-changing win! Despite the status quo Democratic establishment lining up behind his opponent and special interests flooding millions into this race, Abdul's people-powered campaign won. Being a real Democratic fighter is good policy and good politics!
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
I’ll never forgive the mouth breathing assholes who voted Trump into office, not once, but twice.

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
