Wow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.

Matt Shuham@mattshuham.bsky.social · 19h ago

Days before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...

I really like how all the party officials are all unifying around el-sayed and yet this site is still developing some toxic ass discourse about it

We have to reckon with the fact that Uncommitted really was what it said it was - a group of loyal partisan democrats trying to save the party from itself. This was obviously not the case with "Abandon Harris," but anyone conflating the two is doing so out of either ignorance or malice.

The co-founder of the 2024 National Uncommitted Movement, Abbas Alawieh, decisively won his primary to become a State Senator in Michigan. Abbas was endorsed by both Bernie Sanders and Gretchen Whitmer. Abbas Alawieh also privately met with former VP Kamala Harris last month upon her request.

Here's the Polling USA Senate Model For August 2, 2026 Democrats are at 52 seats (+2) Republicans are at 48 seats (-2)

I repeat once again that uncommitted did everything right and you better learn how to respect the people involved because they're gonna keep doing everything right and moving up in the party.

At this point theatrical prosecutions of trump admin officials will be load-bearing for a dem admin forced to make a lot of unpopular fiscal choices

It seems really clear that by 2028, we're going to have an empty SPR, substantial munitions shortages, greater strategic challenges, a larger national debt and substantially higher bond rates which will massively constrain future administrations.

Gop burrito taxi discourse

huck mason@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social · 6h ago

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

There's a distinction between socialists who think liberalism is wrong and those who think liberalism is right but doesnt go far enough, and I very much prefer the latter and am happy they seem to be gaining influence.

Liberal Currents@liberalcurrents.com · 23h ago

"One of the most laudatory things about 'The Blueprint' is how thoroughly and seriously it responds to objections—and not just any objections, but those offered by the best critics of socialism ranging from Ludwig von Mises to F. A. Hayek to Robert Nozick." www.liberalcurrents.com/democratic-s...

Lot of story lines being drafted tonight, but a reminder: a win is a win. Miller-Meeks has won in Iowa twice by razor thin margins (and I hope she loses this year!) but that hasn't stopped her from being a ghoul.

You really gotta appreciate people keeping their eyes on the prize

Elissa Slotkin endorses El-Sayed

We had an internal fight, an ugly fight at times, with genuine stakes as to the disagreements, but recognizing that Republicans are the actual above-all-else enemy and working to crush them together is THE defining cause here

Yeah for all my jokes, I actually think this has a chance to be a pretty good outcome for the party overall. A more conciliatory AES and a party establishment which doesn’t feel doomed may actually be pretty good for focusing on the GOP

Vibecession Forever@ghazelleberner.bsky.social · 17h ago

I don’t think there’s enough vote for Stevens left but this will be a close result. My hope is that the El-Sayed/DSA/far left contingent don’t get despondent but realize that both factions need each other. It’s time to cut the shit and fight MAGA, not Democrats.

It was a good call not to try a primary challenge against jeffries

i support [$democratic_candidate] for [$public_office] and believe that their politics is a perfect fit for [$state]. I would drag my [$genital] over [$harmful_object_or_substance] to vote for [$democratic_candidate] this fall.

I support the winner of the Michigan Democratic primary as the future senator from Michigan.

Sometimes i forget i follow mark ruffalo and im like "why the hell is there a bunch of 'blue wave' graphics and resistlib slop being reposted on my feed?"

If I could wish for a niche superpower it would be the ability to read the minds of people who yell at political figures on the internet to do the things that they are already doing

Its fucking hilarious to see this because the main criticism of Martin is due to the consequences of him implimenting a 50 state strategy

Tapper: "There are now three women who have accused you of violent behavior…Are all three of these women who don't know each other lying?" Rep. Max Miller: "Yes…It's all hearsay." Tapper: "It's not hearsay if it is firsthand testimony from women."

Friendly reminder that republicans are all scum, each and every one.

Huh. Even as an atheist I enthusiastically welcome any attempt to break the hold republicans have over public performances of christianity in america

Jack Jenkins@jackjenkins.me · yesterday

Fun fact: I just published the full story on this topic mere minutes ago. By my count, at least 12 pastors, seminarians & former clergy have launched campaigns for federal office this year, and 5 are already nominees. In response, the GOP is attacking their faith. religionnews.com/2026/08/04/p...

A lot of people on here remain bitter about the version of Uncommitted they made up in their heads while high profile members of the actual Uncommitted are becoming mayors, state senators, members of Congress and maybe even part of the US Senate. In some cases, with establishment support.

#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · yesterday

Under-discussed Michigan politics story is that a co-founder of Uncommitted is about to become the Democratic nominee for a seat to the State Senate with the backing of Governor Whitmer

Oh neat we're doing this again

Greg With Two G's@plusgreg.bsky.social · 2d ago

I know this is controversial in our modern times, but I think even people with pre-existing health conditions should not shit themselves to death because they ate a bagged salad.

Lots of "oh shit" moments lately

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 2d ago

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

The point of carrying a gun is using it. Not intimidation, not 'security', the point of carrying a gun is to use it to shoot people. If you are in a situation where you dont want to shoot people, dont carry a gun. Not even "just in case".

Matthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 5d ago

Like having a gun in your home, having a gun at a protest also inceases the chance you kill someone you don’t want to

Oh boy I found either a scratch or a developing crack in my aquarium so now I get to have fun setting up a backup tank in case I need to tear down all my work to replace the damaged pane

Man, I tried to ignore this, but I cant, this is the sort of sanctimonious bullshit I hate. You're so distraught about what has been done to the younger generations, but you're treating us as damaged goods and not as people. We serve to prove your point and little else. It is cynical in the extreme

Felonious Monk@alexqgb.bsky.social · 3d ago

I mean, if there's anything that drives me to political despair it's the nihilism of younger generations, which - given what they were forced to grow up with - makes absolute, perfect sense. It's genuinely unforgivable what we, as a society, have deprived them of through sheer lies and cowardice.

I am beginning to suspect that some of you are too angry to think rationally and are fine with republicans winning out of spite

“You are too angry and it’s making you stupid” vol. 2938393

Because it includes some significant concessions from the GOP and the dems dont really have a specific reason not to As for a christmas shutdown, lol lmao if the republicans want to do that then they can feel free to shoot themselves in the foot. It isnt any leverage against the dems.

Bill Kristol@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social · 3d ago

Q's on Senate Dem leadership embrace of CR. Why now? Why let GOP senators go home for recess taking credit for a bipartisan deal? Why does it run until Dec. 11? Why give a lame duck GOP Congress a final bite at the apple with ability to pressure Dems with threat of pre-Xmas shut down?

The confusion baffles me because its trivially easy to realize he has tapioca pudding in the place of his brains just by listening to him speak for a few minutes

Wallenstein Appreciator@marbleliberal.bsky.social · 3d ago

I can help. Non Americans have no idea he's insane. The ones who are against him believe he's sane and choosing to harm them for reasons they can't figure out, the ones who are for him believe he's sane and choosing to help them. Both are stunned every time whenever he changes

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"
