Seriously, can someone answer this for me? They were such a big part of 2025. Rachel Maddow featured them often. They were all over social media. But they just stopped. Did we all decide that protests don't work?

This is the thing! There's nothing the Dems can pass that Roberts can't undo. First order above all else (including Medicare for all) have to be the big structural changes.

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

@emptywheel.bsky.social This is still with your starter:

So, yesterday the US set a new March temperature record of 110 degrees, beating the old record by two degrees. Today the US set a new March temperature record of 112 degrees, beating the new record by two degrees and the old one by four degrees.

This is my concern with Medicare For All. Wouldn't the republicans just eventually destroy it so nobody would be covered?

Republicans have spent more than a decade trying to roll back, undermine, or simply eliminate the Affordable Care Act. Part one million:

Vote blue no matter who... Unless it's Stephen A. Smith.

Stephen A. Smith: "We wouldn’t have a border crisis under my watch." "We ain’t defunding any police… There’s gonna be more." It's with much regret I foresee the inevitable, he's running

I think for this to happen, the Dems will need to win 52 seats. If they only get 51, Fetterman will switch sides so Vance can be the tie breaker.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate. And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials. As the Constitution requires. Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

I always wonder how people like this can afford to not work for 4 years. I’d like to do a grand adventure too, but I don’t want to end up on the streets when it’s over.

The adventure of a lifetime on Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires. With climate change, this trip probably won’t be possible in a few decades.

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Wild prediction for 2026: the Democrats win enough seats in the Senate to have a 1 vote majority, and then Fetterman switches parties so Vance is the tiebreaker.

I feel like "attention hacking" is most of politics now. The Minnesota aid fraud story is becoming a perfect example. Recap: In 2022, the Biden DOJ filed the first charges against dozens of fraudsters, many of them Somali-American, who'd fleeced a state food aid program. (1/x)

ICE's latest detention data helps us understand what the agency has been doing with its massive windfall of funding - record arrests: 41,641 in Oct alone - record detention: 65,135 people - 74% have no criminal conviction See the data: austinkocher.substack.com/p/breaking-i...

BREAKING: ICE Detention Crosses Record 65,000, October Arrests Top Record 40,000, Biggest Growth Among People with No Criminal History

After over two months of no data, ICE's new detention numbers show a record 65,135 people in detention, biggest growth among immigrants with no criminal histories. GPS ankle monitors also grow to 35k.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015 What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Tuned in to NBC tonight & they had a panelist refer to the Democrat Party. Shameful. 👎

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Once again, one reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is bc every societal institution, including the media, has totally normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.

Jason "Red5" Lyall@jaylyall.bsky.social · 11mo ago

No mention at all of the fact that Trump doesn't have the legal authority to do this, that plans haven't even been reviewed (because the office is closed for the government shutdown), that the size and cost estimates keep changing, etc., etc.

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

Paul Waldman@paulwaldman.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

I'm enjoying the show "Task", but apparently everyone in the state of Pennsylvania still smokes. 😆
