I can tell red state Dems one thing: release a transphobic ad and you won’t see a dime from me

Abolish ICE. Fire them all. Prosecute their crimes. Start with prosecuting the crimes first and work your way backward if that makes you more comfortable. But we cannot live in a country with this level of elite impunity.
ceo of burger king: our burgers have gone rogue again and infected people with e coli
it’s been said a ton already but I really do appreciate mamdani so throughly dismantling the core democrat ideology of “we actually can’t ever do anything helpful or good because of. circumstances”
They even made DoorDash apologize.
The way to look at this is George bush is trying to help Donald trump retain power on the Hill
Scoop: John Cornyn & George W. Bush are headlining a Dallas fundraiser tonight for all of the Senate GOP nominees in tossup races—except Ken Paxton It benefits a new joint fundraising committee for IA, ME, NH, OH, AK, MI & the NRSC w/ @teddyschleifer.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/u...
reporters werent “barred” from recording, the powerful people they are covering asked them not to record and they immediately complied and hid whats happening from their audience
“Reporters were barred from recording video” whaaaaaat
Any answer other than “who gives a shit, republicans are using a dozen kids playing JV volleyball as a distraction from looting the county and covering for elite pedophiles” is cowardly horseshit

OpenAI set $22M on fire just to steal $1M from a human who did the actual work, and that’s the business plan our economy is betting everything on? Lol.
Millennium math problem solved by OpenAI may have "regurgitated" competitors unpublished work... also they spent more than $22 million in computing power in one week to scoop them. techcrunch.com/2026/09/08/o...
You can tell this is true because when Michelle Obama made healthy eating and exercise her issue as First Lady, this same movement failed to coalesce around her and in fact she met a ton of resistance from the same people who made RFK Jr possible
Maha is just another astroturfed front in the American Reactionary Movement. This movement is responsible for every public health crisis: climate, automobile deaths, gun violence, homelessness, poverty. Its the Don't Tell Me What To Do movement. They are few but they're mobilized for war.
counterpoint: companies that bribed Trump including though bogus "settlements" should be criminally prosecuted and dragged through endless hearings pub.bluehorizonproject.org/p/democrats-...
Democrats Should Focus Oversight Strategies on Trump
Democrats are strategizing about what their agenda should be if they are able to retake the House, or potentially both the House and Senate.

the seth moulton playbook. waste millions of dollars being a pathetic loser. demonstrate that you are an untrustworthy bigot and coward with the right wingers leash around your neck
Opinion: The debate over transgender rights is a liability for Democrats. Here’s how to neutralize it, writes @thirdway.bsky.social think tank co-founder Jonathan Cowan.
california's top-2 primary system pretty much ensures we are stuck with this embarrassing loser as our senator until he decides to leave on his own.
I am in strong agreement with the President. Congress should immediately take up and pass a federal film tax incentive to bring back these good-paying jobs that we've lost to other countries.
tl;dw: the job of the dem majority over the next two years, should it materialize, is to make life hell for the white house, not find points of cooperation

Democrats should be unafraid in saying that Roberts on the Court is comparable to Mike Johnson in the House and John Thune in the Senate. They're all in thrall to Trump.
everyone needs to care about how the Roberts Court is actively, but quietly, helping Trump enact his agenda. We are in a separation of powers fight, a fight for constitutional meaning, and a fight with the conservative politicians on the corrupt Court.
Loving that some establishment Democrats have resorted to saying, you know, Laura Loomer and Richard Hanania are making some good points. Listen. To. Your. Fucking. Self.
I just finished this book. It is such a crazy, brilliant fever dream of a book. If you like science fiction, and specifically the experience of an intellectual round house kick to the head that changes your view of what‘s possible, I cant recommend it enough.
Working on an A.I. policy for my calculus classes. Decided to be upfront about the current situation with LLMs and to give a heartfelt explanation for why the course still matters.
The Bulwark was founded by never-Trump Republicans. rats who jumped from a sinking ship and desperately need a home for their dwindling political power. they want to solidify the Democratic party as centrist at best, blocking out left-wing influence and power. just look at how they work
The vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.
These people are fucking evil and I’m tired of hedging on that point.
I’m sorry what
good article and, crucially, a good list at the end of cookware/kitchenware lines that are still quality (and family owned)
In February, USA Rugby banned trans women from all levels of one of the world’s most inclusive sports. What happened next was telling. Across the country, teams refused to comply. The story of the Baltimore Ferals, who are pushing back: www.thebanner.com/sports/rugby...
Tapper is being insanely dishonest with his audience in characterizing El-Sayed's comments like this. It wasnt a public statement, it was a surreptitious recording of an off the cuff internal campaign discussion and ripped out of context.
CNN's Jake Tapper pressed Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on comments he made about Ayatollah Khamenei, reportedly telling staff there were "a lot of people in Dearborn who are SAD today" following the Supreme Leader's death.
this is good and more people in charge should be saying it
As Los Angeles burned, people were on Polymarket betting on how many acres it would take. One wrote, “That was fun. Until the next time.” This is sick. I’m going to do all I can to ban it.
