I know this would be closing the barn door after he horse has been reelected president, but if Democrats win both chambers I'd really like to see a concurrent resolution deeming January 6 an insurrection under 14(3). 1/

Gotta break police unions. The interests of public workers are never gonna be 1:1 with that of the public and that’s mostly fine, sometimes they’ll win sometimes they’ll lose, but you cannot tolerate this shit from a paramilitary organization.

Oh My God

Today was the day Donald trump finally became president

If you hear one Democrat talking about reaching across the aisle to find common ground with Donald Trump you must bully them until no one remembers their own real name.

they’re flipping states i’ve never even heard of

yeah it turns out if you keep shooting people in the street and kidnapping children and making it impossible to get food or healthcare or education and then gloat about it, everybody hates you

with Lindsey no longer with us and Annie Andrews defeating Lindsey's sister to turn his seat blue, this tweet hits different now

the term of Mike Johnson as speaker is now officially coming to an end

Heck of a closing message. Bookmark this shit when he inevitably becomes a problem.

Talarico: "I would love as the next US senator from Texas to work with Trump to actually fulfill some of the promise of his political project. Because the promise of MAGA was that we were gonna transform this govt so that it delivered for the people who have been left time, been forgotten."

Hm seems like everyone who said the fucko Dems who concede any ground on trans rights are gonna be a huge fucking problem going forward were totally correct as usual

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 5d ago

Josh Turek says he didn't vote for a Democratic ticket, and instead voted republican for several races. And yet trans people are vilified for doing the same to him?

How is this real lol

This is important both because they deserve it and because it'll send a pretty strong signal through the caucus that you can't do shit like this or bad things will happen to you.
