Wait, hold the fucking phone, the GOP picked Jim "covered up for a sex abuse scandal" Jordan as their leader after spending the last two years trying not to talk about the massive cover up of a different sex abuse scandal???? These guys.

Epstein files are heating up again!

“Disbursed” it where? Disbursed it by whom? Yet one more humongous scandal.👇

They are all slowly starting to clock what's coming lol

WOW

i hope the coroner lets me keep one leg outside the body bag or i’ll never be able to r.i.p.

Making up a word like "narco-terrorists" doesn't change the fact that you murdered a bunch of fisherman who'd been charged with no crime, like you were playing Call of Duty in your mom's basement

Can we sit with Senator-elect Colom’s words here? Pundits & MSM @cnn @nbcnews.com @politico.com @cookpolitical.com @facethenation.bsky.social are you engaged in any reflection? Do you have the humility & professionalism to concede your blind spots & engage w/those who know what you don’t?

Would have been the greatest interception in NFL history

Wow! 🤓 This is a fascinating video showing what the results of the US Midterms would have been if only specific voters groups had voted! Some of the results are really striking! #Bluenami 🌊🌊🌊

I am on fire inside. From miller down thru ICE these are sick humans who need to be removed from the US. Leave the kids with us.

EIGHT YEARS OLD. EIGHT!!! 💔🇭🇹 An 8-YEAR-OLD Haitian boy, a THIRD GRADER, was HANDCUFFED and taken into federal custody by ICE agents in San Diego after showing up for a scheduled immigration check-in with his uncle. EIGHT. YEARS. OLD. Let that sink in for a moment!

this article could've mentioned britian just passed a bathroom ban, that feels like useful context it's only the exact thing critics warned would happen www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

Woman with alopecia accused of being male while using female toilet at Tesco

Helen Rowlands said she was questioned about her gender while visiting Tesco Extra in Trinity Square, Gateshead

So it turns out an experienced blueskyer, @waitmanwbeorn.com , identified this dudes ‘medals’ as basically participation trophies. Not to belittle joining the armed forces, but find someone legit for your position piece, NYT. Embarrassing.

Old white conservative Christian men believe that they are the absolute center of the universe and the fact that national news organizations keep breathlessly asking for their opinions probably fuels that delusion a bit.

for roughly the last decade Florida has served as a heat sink for the worst people in the country, moreso than even texas (and this may accelerate post-Blexas) the long term residents are being turfed out by angry Fox News grandparents

This really explains Florida

Part of electing the most corrupt president in American history is that he created a reverse moral filter: Other corrupt people were both attracted to and selected for jobs in his administration, and for positions of influence around it. This is one example. There will be many more.

Trump ally Loomer was paid thousands for political tweets, people familiar say

People familiar with the arrangements allege pay-to-play business practices by one of President Donald Trump’s biggest online acolytes. Financial documents show details.

This is the split. Democracy is a fundamental principle; immigration is a policy. There is no care about immigration without democracy.

Mississippi Senate: it wasn't the economy, stupid. It was the ethnonationalism. ("Democracy" the top issue for Colom voters, "immigration" the top issue for Hyde-Smith's.) Via CNN's exit poll:

Take a bow, prophet 🫡

I got this shared and I must win this because holy shit how is she even the Senator from South Carolina now???

The point is not that Stephen Miller will have any more power or influence as formal Chief of Staff; it's that his elevation sends an unambiguous message to Democrats that conciliation ain't happening—sparing them from what otherwise could've devolved into a messy split over how to approach 2027–29.

Perhaps Mr Jeffries has been reading the opinions lately

rip "working with the President"

"LA LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU, AMERICA!!!"

It’s never been more true. This is why the world still looks at us with amazed envy. We must never take that for granted or throw it away again. Be proud not only for the results but for the fact that this ‘great experiment’ is still working.

Clyburn: "de Tocqueville said, 'America's greatness is not that she is more enlightened than any other nation, but rather because she has always been able to correct her faults.' That's what we did on Tuesday. We repaired a big fault that had opened in our body politic."

I am honestly looking forward to the new dialogues that will spring up on this site. I’m referring to the exchanges between diaspora Rs and Ds here. Should be some great discussion once things settle down and 2028 draws nearer. This will be the bastion of high level political dialogue.

Q: I’m told that Vivek Ramaswamy left you a congratulatory phone call. Have the two of you spoken? Governor-elect Amy Acton: We can’t normalize behavior like this. It was so beyond the pale, so no, I have no intention of speaking to him. Leaders’ words matter and we need to hold folks accountable.
