I'm like Stone Cold Steve Austin I put homophobes in coffins I'm like Fred Astaire I dance like I don't care I'm like Ted deBiase I win no matter what it costs me
Somehow, this started with me mildly criticizing Democrats for their infatuation with means testing. It may be my “welcome to BlueSky“ moment
*Yelling at the party I’ve given decades of labor and tens of thousands of dollars to and it’s leadership, who literally represent me in Congress * Blue no matter Whovian: “Yeah, but why THEM?”
Voted for Rubio. I’ll literally never get over it, and neither will you when he uses it to win the presidency.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 19h agoholy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!
I'm weirdly upset by Stevens's gracious concession, because it makes her lie from just a few days ago that AES harbors personal animus against Jewish ppl all the more transparent. We should discourage lying to inflame tensions against two targeted religious minorities for personal political gain imo
Watching the Haley Stevens returns with a tall glass of told you so

I don’t even give a shit how hard your race is, if you lose to a Republican this fall, you should quit politics forever
Republicans: There Was No Genitalia Exposed
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTAPPER: One of the files you released was an image of your daughter naked. It was available for a day before it was removed. Your ex-wife's attorney says it could quality as CSAM. That's shockingly reckless behavior MAX MILLER: I wouldn't say it's shockingly reckless. There was no genitalia exposed
If Chuck Schumer were TRYING to get Susan Collins elected to the Senate, how would it look different than his behavior for the last week?
Collins Watch@collinswatch.bsky.social · 2d agoSusan comes out against Todd Blanche now that he's got the votes. So tiresome. (We called it: tinyurl.com/3bepafkz) #MEpolitics
“Haley Stevens” is what you get when you try to say “Andrew Cuomo” with a Midwestern accent.
Good thing you didn’t defeat him like you wanted to.
Democrats@democrats.org · 3d agoHUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.
We’ve reached the “shitting ourselves to death” portion of America’s greatness.
*Kirsten Gillibrand and Haley Stevens hurriedly put on swimsuits*
Brendan Gutenschwager@bgonthescene.bsky.social · 4d agoJake Lang unveils a banner at Cedar Point Shores Waterpark in Ohio reading “Stop Muslim Takeover of Democrat Party!!” and calling for the deportation of American-born U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed
Democrats see Trump lying every day about the left with impunity and think to themselves: “how can I get in on that action?”
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 4d agoIs Gillibrand on crack? Why was she telling donors, without a shred of evidence, that Mallory McMorrow is a DSA member???
GREAT NEWS EVERYBODY we all get to keep doing exactly this for another couple months!
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 4d agoSenate leaders have reached a deal on a short-term government funding bill through Dec. 11. This would prevent a shutdown on Oct 1 and get through the midterms to figure out a longer-term solution. TEXT via Collins/Murray offices: www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
“If I was holding my wife hostage to my temper, why was she so accommodating?”
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 4d agoRep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
Honestly, everybody here is getting what they deserve
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoBASH: How do you prepare for next pandemic? RFK Jr: We did almost everything wrong B: But what about now? K: We need to protect our rights B: ? K: During covid we dismantled our rights B: But I'm asking what *to* do K: You were part of the problem B: You want to sit here and attack me?
This fucking virus was named after seven years ago, and I still can’t tell if Republicans think it was a completely made up hoax that only snowflakes died from or a highly sophisticated Chinese biological weapon
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoRFK Jr: We had the highest death rate from covid of any nation on earth BASH: That's not accurate RFK Jr: What I said was accurate BASH: There are other countries that had higher RFK Jr: When Fauci was mismanaging the pandemic, he was doing it under the Biden administration
I can help. It’s that last sentence where he ignores everything the Republican Party is done for the last half century and still sees them as friends that have momentarily lost their way.
Vituperative Erb@vituperativeerb.bsky.social · 5d agoExcited to find out why this shows that Schumer is bad
If Trump were at war with Blue America, how would it look different?
This idea that there are universal benchmarks for educational achievement and they aren’t just made up shit we come up with ourselves makes people say stuff like this in the face of millions of dead people.
Lewis Goodall@lewisgoodall.com · 6d agoThere are working class and vulnerable kids who will never have the life they should have had because of school closures. Let’s address that too, shall we?
