🤖 Alex Pavlovic The Giants lost 13-7. They lost the season series to the Rockies for the first time in a full season since 2018. The two teams are now separated by just one game in the standings.

Any Democrat that doesn’t support Medicare for all and trans rights (all of them) must be removed from the party or voted out. Period.

Her resignation was the highlight of my week. I guess finding out that her boss would use her as human shield was eye opening. Typical cult behavior, no concern until it affects them directly.

Happy 10 year anniversary of the best mic drop on Twitter. Hard to believe it’s been so long! Congrats @astrokatie.com

Republicans really do love the stupid.

then replace him. Just do it. Seriously. This whole situation has gone on entirely too long.

O'KEEFE: You have been writing letters & trying to get updates on the status of McConnell. Have you heard anything? BESHEAR: I have heard absolutely nothing back from Mitch McConnell... all he needs to do is do a video for 2 minutes to the people he's supposed to serve, but he absolutely refuses to

Weird - I thought Fox News was all about "sHuT uP aNd dRiBbLe" and "kEeP PoLiTiCs oUt oF sPoRtS." (also lol @ "superstar" 🤣)

Perhaps somebody could turn off my sports teams & then turn them on again? Don't know what is worse - watching the #SFGiants bullpen implode all over itself or the #Timbers getting lit up in the first half. Apparently, sportsball is for those of us with very strong constitutions. #rctid #gogiants

Oh nothing. Just @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social the leader of our party in the house spreading right wing talking points. We need new leadership yesterday.

WELKER: Do democratic socialists belong in the Dem Party? JEFFRIES: What I can say is I do not support defunding the police, I do not support open borders, I do not support abolishing the Senate. We're focused on actually solving the problems hard-working American taxpayer want us to solve ...

The video title was "1 Moderate vs. 20 Progressives," and... people are not buying the "moderate" label for Pim Tool.

‘You Say Bullsh*t in Order to Get Money!’ Tim Pool Storms Out of Debate With 20 Progressives After He’s Accused of Grifting in Heated Exchange

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

Here are things that happened at the DNC today: 1) Resolution calling to abolish ICE unanimously adopted 2) Brand-new early state calendar that reflects the full diversity of the Democratic base 3) Rejection of insider efforts to ban RCV from being used in presidential primaries Great results here

Someone please tell this stupid bitch that "crazy woke" is what keeps us all alive.

"The Republican Congress bears no responsibility for prices, see, because that came from the war in Iran! And, as we all remember, we *completely* abdicated our constitutional duties when it came to that war and just hid under a pile of coats in the House cloakroom."

Mike Johnson: "We put in this Congress into place all the economic conditions to let the economy take off like a rocket, and beginning in the first quarter of this year that's what was happening, and then we got into the conflict with Iran ... that's the big headwind we have right now."

Not content to show that he knows fuckall about his own profession in medicine, Roger Marshall is challenging an actual minister on the details of religion. Good luck, Sen. Dipshit.

Desperate to hold onto the Senate, Sens. Roger Marshall of Kansas and Ted Cruz of Texas accuse Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton of heresy.

New in PN: Transgender athletes are a red herring "None of this discourse happened bc there is a new high-profile trans athlete in the news. Instead, Republicans are starting a culture war to rile up their base, co-opt Dems into agreeing with them, & push trans people out of public life altogether"

Transgender athletes are a red herring

It's a non-problem meant to exclude people from public life.

I'm late to this news, but of course she is doing this because apparently there is no shame amongst anyone from the current administration when it comes to money, power or influence. JFC, I'm tired of all of this supposed "winning". www.kptv.com/2026/08/13/c...

Really cool there's a woman who does not know the future exists who has also been a sitting U.S. Senator for three full decades.

Q: The shock gloves that ICE is reportedly rolling out using the deescalation funding. Is that the sort of use you envisioned when you passed that bill? SUSAN COLLINS: It's not

Come to the US @countbinface.bsky.social, American politics desperately needs you! 🗑️🇺🇸

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Quick question: how is Tafoya "from Minnesota?"

Rep. Leigh Finke@leighfinke.bsky.social · 3d ago

I love Minnesota more now than I could possibly imagine loving a place on a map. Anyone embarrassed by this love of neighbor should not represent us in the Senate.

Stavros Halkias: I don't wanna do the both sides bullshit because it's not true. One side is worse than the other, objectively speaking. One side is disappearing people and one side wants children to have healthcare. A lot of stand up comics happened to have some of the dumbest opinions on Earth
