Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6h agoLombardo on Trump: "When the press and media runs him down, they think about 'he's taking care of his billionaire friends.' But those billionaire friends provide jobs. And unless you take care of them, those jobs are absent."
This couple came legally. They applied for asylum before their visas expired, wanting to do it all by the books. After six months, they applied for work permits to stay afloat, passing background checks. They worked legally and paid taxes while government delay dragged on. Then ICE came for them.

El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.
You mean you got taken by the guy who's entire existence is a scam who has never created anything ever and is only thought of a a genius because a style reporter from the WaPo said so? Weird. I cannot believe this is happening

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
Also, importantly, most Democrats like most Democrats. Most Democrats particularly like most Democrats who like most Democrats.
Forty years ago, in 1986, NYC suffered over 1,600 homicides. Homicides would peak at over 2,200 a few years later. There were 305 in 2025.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · yesterdayFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Teach your children ‘democrats are not always good, but republicans ARE always bad’ and in 2026 you’ve covered like 90% of their practical civic education wrt voting.
Stan Oklobdzija@stano.bsky.social · 24h agoThe best thing about Vote Blue No Matter Who is that it unloads a lot of cognitive burden. I wanted Tom Steyer to be in the Governor's race, but he's not so I'm gonna vote for Becerra. I don't follow his campaign at all: I'm voting for him because he's not a Republican.
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

i'm starting to think people might be sick of democrats who view voters' will as a kind of cute larp unrelated to whatever they, the real protagonists of reality, do in the district
Random but my daughter insisted on being a very prominent part of our last committee meeting
Actually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and RFK on TV told everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.
at the end of the day there are only a few positive reasons you go to a hospital, childbirth being the most prominent. the vast majority of interactions ppl have with healthcare is when something is wrong with them or they are checking to see ir something is wrong, social democracy cannot fix that

what an absolutely baffling response
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayBessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."
Every new revelation makes you wonder what took Moreno so long to speak out
David Earl Williams III@dewforpolitics.bsky.social · yesterdaySen. Bernie Moreno said Rep. Max Miller refused to return his granddaughter’s favorite blue bunny. Reports also show that photos of a syringe and 150mg weed gummies were found in Miller’s bedroom.
If Biden, Obama or even a Harris or Clinton President had played in a competition during a war they intiated and while multiple disease outbreaks were happening due to their funding cuts, that is all that Fox, @cnn.com @wapostopinionsplus.bsky.social @nytimes.com would be talking about
I mean, some American citizens are the babies of (the babies of the babies of the babies of the babies of…) invaders of America, but those folks are usually of English, Spanish, Portuguese, French etc., descent.

Folks on Long Island or adjacent, we're starting our whole-slate canvassing on Saturday. We're covering AD-12 first, which is probably the best Assembly flip target in the state. We'll be doing at least two launches a week from here on out. mobilize.us/s/BC8uJN
yall remember the Texas Fox News poll? yeah it’s real. they’re on the money
My wife made an absolutely magnificent pun this morning as we got the kids out the door and I had to correct her. We do not apologize for puns. 'Dad jokes' can be gender neutral. Own your magnificent pun. The world is a better place for it
