The modern Republican Party has completed its transformation into antebellum Democrats. A party of insane white supremacist aristocrats supported by broke rubes who can feel superior about the circumstances of their birth and nothing more. No merit top to bottom

LOMBARDO: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi-- TRUMP RALLY CROWD: *Boooooo* LOMBARDO: No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently

ok but pulitzer for whoever got this shot, it’s so good

Man it's so funny when James Carville threatens to leave the Democratic party, like oh no, now the party might have candidates who are actually popular with their constituents and have popular policy positions and win elections what are we going to do noooo don't

If a candidate loses the primary and then the winner goes on to lose the general, that is a data point you need to consider going forward, but it does not imply that the loser of the primary would have in turn won, I hope this has been a helpful recap for everyone.

Whenever one of these freaks goes off on a tangent about their trans conspiracy of the day, the proper response -- from an interviewer or anyone else -- is "well, it seems like you're having some sort of mental breakdown here, so we'll wrap it up"

Royce White is now ranting about "transgender sex dolls" during a forum that is supposed to be about agricultural issues. This guy is a serious Republican in Minnesota who had the party's nomination for a Senate seat two years ago. Insanity.

Clinton 2016: "If you don't want a SCOTUS that will overturn Roe and dismantle the VRA you might want to vote for me." Bernie Bros et al: "Fuck you! You're fear mongering. You have to earn my vote! Inspire me!"

Strongly encourage the GOP to run with "just cook at home you stupid poors" as their general election message

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

Wow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.

Matt Shuham@mattshuham.bsky.social · yesterday

Days before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...

Hey centrists and leftists! Today is a good day to aim your fire at Republicans instead of each other.

Some things I've learned about legislative advocacy, and I think my record speaks for itself. 1. Start by asking for everything you want. Stop preemptively negotiating against yourself. The process of passing the bill will whittle it down. Why started with a whittled down product?

NEW: Meta reviewed, approved, and ran more than 50 ads containing AI-generated child sexual abuse material across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Threads. They ran for nine months. Some were live this week. After WIRED asked about them, researchers found ~30 more

my opinion on [insert literally anything here] is that Republicans need to lose

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Rep. Haley Stevens and I shared a call this morning. She loves democracy like I love democracy. Whatever differences we might've had in the primary pale in comparison to what unifies us. All of us have to come together to make sure that we never let Mike Rogers see the US Senate.

The guy who was caught faking his robot demos and just crashed a rocket into the moon says he will build a factory on the moon staffed by the robots he still can't make? And they're giving him more money? How can you not think the whole system is fake?

the biggest presidential scandal in history. jeffrey epstein was a close friend and business associate of trump and they did crimes together! against children! its all pretty much out in the open now but its a smaller story than hillary's email server was for some reason

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.

I fundamentally do not know how to square the politics whereby Democrats will essentially have to tell the American people that because they (the voters) made an extremely stupid decision, they need to lower their expectations substantially for the foreseeable future, but here we are.

James Bond producer shares update on 007 casting: ‘It’s got to be really different’

I urged my friends across the river to vote for you in the primary, but the general is set. You’d rather WA-3 sends a Rep to DC who will vote for Mike Johnson as Speaker? Fuck that noise.

It gets an actual chuckle out of me seeing people on here say "now the TRUE test is whether the shitlibs can live up to their own words and line up behind El-Sayed!" only for Stevens, Whitmer, every prominent Michigan Dem, the DSCC, etc. to have endorsed El-Sayed before they can finish the sentence.

ATTENTION TO ALL DEM TAX CUT SLOPULISTS

Whether someone realizes it or not, accepting the "liberal bubble" framing at all is a way of granting the utterly absurd notion that the globally reviled and increasingly unpopular views of the reactionary right are the norm

Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com · 2d ago

"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 3w ago

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.

Dieticians feeding fascists All of them with unwashed asses Evil minds that plot destruction With the East Wing in construction

lol eat shit

If you see this account, block them. If you see their posts being shared around, do not engage with it. This is a racist bot account that generates feel good stories to gain credibility while sprinkling in hate and racism.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

A PSA to my fellow cis people who are (or want to believe they are) trans allies If you are getting pushback from trans people and your reaction is to be all “no! not me! I’m one of the good ones!” please remember that “being one of the good ones” is something you DO, not something you ARE

There’s not a single good Republican. Not one.
