There's a growing movement to abolish the filibuster in the Senate, so I'll repost this piece I wrote a few years back when Joe Manchin insisted it was Good, Actually
Senate's Capitol commission vote highlights Manchin's filibuster ignorance
The filibuster was never about helping pass good bills — only killing them. Why can't Joe Manchin see this?

This is the Ku Klux Klan's same slogan and the WH knows it. The Germans first modeled their eugenics efforts after those in the U.S. See the Ku Klux Klan pamphlet from the Wisconsin Historical Society.
Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 6h ago“Germany for the Germans” was the slogan of a political organization that existed about 100 years ago.

David Roberts@volts.wtf · 5h agoNope, sorry, we're not doing this.
One crucial thing to watch is how many US and Ukrainian assets Trump tries to give to Russia in the next three months. Probably deserving of a real-time investigation of its own.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoHere's the full 2 minute clip where Trump says he met today with a top Putin crony, adds that a Russia-Ukraine deal will involve "all of Europe," admits he didn't meet with the Ukrainian delegation, then downplays Russia's ongoing atrocities in Ukraine, claiming "Russia is losing civilians also"
Starting to believe Multiple Dana White Theory.
Coach Finstock@coachfinstock.bsky.social · 5h agoYo did Trump give the wrong Dana White the job no fucking way lol
Yeah, I relished his loss more than some others. He’s a POS.
Charles Johnson@charles.littlegreenfootballs.com · 5h agoKris Kobach has been a goddamned far right menace for decades. So glad to see him out of office. He’ll pop up somewhere else, no doubt, but at least he can’t hurt any more people for a little while.

Disgusting of NYT to describe the most criminal conduct of ICE and the massacre of boatmen on the high seas this way: “Mr. Miller has been the driver of the president’s most muscular actions” Muscular? Despicable spin. www.nytimes.com/2026/11/06/u...
In Elevating Stephen Miller, Trump Doubles Down on Hard-Line Agenda
The new White House chief of staff is responsible for some of the most provocative policies of President Trump’s second term, as well as an aggressive approach to executive power.

For two months we were told by "experts" employed by the networks that James Talarico, just like Abdul el-Sayed, was having real problems with Black voters. Now the results are in. These claims were always utterly baseless.

Hoarse Whisperer@therealhoarse.bsky.social · 23h agoTrump appointing Stephen Miller Chief of Staff is *absolutely guaranteed* to turn the White House into an open snake pit of backbiting and leaks. We saw a round of this in Trump’s first term. The entire place is going to turn into one circular firing squad. It’ll be ugly by Sunday.
Don’t fuck with the Bay Area. Period. Activists systematically exposed, neutralized, and flattened local ICE operations, disabling their fleet and spray-painting their undercover vehicles so the entire community knows exactly who they are and where they stand.
Impeachment hearings are valuable and necessary even if someone resigns, in order to expose a pattern of serious wrongdoing. The case we are building is against Trumpism, not any single individual.
I think the connection needs to be made (repeatedly) that in addition to the Iran war, Miller’s deportation-anti-immigration agenda ALSO makes things more expensive for Americans

This really is a generational shift IMO: Ossof is a year older than me, and people our age have spent our entire lives watching a murderous, incredibly evil GOP make everything in this country worse. We don't view them as misguided neighbors, we view them as they really are: the enemy of democracy.
Angus Johnston@angus.bsky.social · yesterdayLots of the most prominent members of the Dem class of 2026 are now just stating plainly, over and over, that they feel no obligation to perform rituals of civility for odious scumbags. It's a tectonic shift in political messaging, and one with—it seems to me—real policy implications.
We've been reporting on Kobach for almost two decades. A noxious force who helped lead America's turn to virulent racism.
Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · yesterdayBig: Kris Kobach, the Kansas attorney general, one of the country’s most notorious far-right figures who charted the way for Trump’s election denialism well before Trump got to it, has lost his reelection bid. Democrat Chris Mann will be the new Kansas attorney general, APcalls.
The attorney general is not the president's defense attorney and he's certainly not the White House chief of staff's attorney. Just saying this nonsense is disqualifying for an attorney general -- he's an idiot and a partisan hack, totally unqualified for the job.

To have any hope of holding her seat, Cindy Hyde-Smith needed GOP-friendly counties to give her big margins in affidavit ballots. Instead, Scott Colom just beat her among Oktibbeha County's affidavit ballots by 80%-19%. It's a county Trump won in 2024. www.mississippifreepress.org/rolling-cov-...
Scott Colom Wins Oktibbeha's Affidavit Ballots by 80-Point Margin in a County Trump Won - Mississippi Free Press

I will personally support any Democratic House or Senate majority leader who agrees to a mandatory public pantsing of Stephen Miller. The pay-per-view earnings alone would cut the federal debt in half.
I just want to thank whoever came up with the brilliant idea of telling Donald Trump to tell voters to pretend his name was on the ballot. That worked out beautifully!
Think about the headspace you have to inhabit to read that and not immediately clock that it can’t possibly be true, because no sane politician would do that.
Angelo Carusone@goangelo.bsky.social · yesterdayIncredible correction from Bari Wiess’ outlet…
Trump wanted the MAHA voters & never had any intention of implementing their agenda. The call between RFK Jr & Trump making their deal before Jr dropped out to endorse was leaked. Jr is a charlatan who always cared only about himself and had a great line of BS like Trump. bsky.app/profile/meid...
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · yesterdayFormer Trump adviser Calley Means alleges that former White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles blocked policy initiatives because she needed donations from the sugar industry. “Calley, we can't do this.
