Every day I'm given a new press release by this blob and every day, I'm just like “ain't no way this swiss cheese brained mofo is still in charge.”
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 12h agoTrump: “I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States.”
DEMOCRATS AFTER LOSING AN ELECTION: Here are all the ads that we should have run instead REPUBLICANS AFTER LOSING AN ELECTION: We need a Protestant pope, he will preside from the Grand Ole Opry
“… The [Commons] Chamber is relatively small, and can accommodate only 427 of the 650 members of parliament—during Prime Minister's Questions and in major debates MPs stand at either end of the House.” “Where are all these people going to live [derogatory]?” is a sign of a small, uninterested mind.

this really feels like the last stop before the bunker
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 2d agoTrump announces Stephen Miller will be his new White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles.
I did this for serious since I'm sure we'll see enough silly-billy ones.

I’m begging people to stop using, “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”, even ironically. Stop letting that man determine who you become and how you engage with language.

There was a gathering of neighborhood kids for some party or something. The detail didn’t stick with me. But every kid got a share, except me and my twin. We got 1/2 each of our combined one.
Louie Stowell@louiestowell.bsky.social · 3d agoNow I want to know your childhood villain origin story. What radicalised you as a child? What filled you with a rage that lasted a lifetime?
It’s time to tell Jeffrey Dahmer GLUTEN FREE FROM NOW ON BUDDY.
House Judiciary Dems@democrats-judiciary.house.gov · 3d agoIt’s time for ICE to take the masks off, turn the body cameras on, and start answering to the American people who pay for their bloated budget.
You know who Democrats need right now is the guy who had the courage to reach across the aisle and say DOGE was going to be awesome
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2d agoProgressive Democrats aligned with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-California) are teaming up to launch a committee named “Run Ro” to urge him to run for president in the 2028 election.
We have to talk about impeaching all of these murderers and flunkies we knew would be bad, but the same Chuck Schumer who couldn’t stop the party from joining in the vote to confirm many of them should stay as leader? Who thinks affordability doesn’t stem from accountability? Miss me with that.
The president who treats his executive orders like reverse uno cards against the law says his executive order to keep the Oval Office gaudy is somehow permanent. Got it.
Science Fact: landslides do not require architects. It is no part of the training of an architect.
The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · 3d agoChuck Schumer has gone from a punching bag for Democrats to the architect of their historic landslide, Franklin Foer writes. He spoke with the senator:
I wish there could be announcements like this every day for the next two years
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 3d agoTricia Cotham, the North Carolina lawmaker who switched parties to Republican to vote for an abortion ban, has been defeated by a Democrat.
“‘I got next’ like a drunk putting his quarters on the pool table in a bar” is definitely how Senate confirmations work, perfect theory.
Cristian Farias@cristianfarias.com · 3d agoThe editor of SCOTUSblog has an advisory opinion about what a lameduck Senate can do when there isn’t a Supreme Court vacancy. Incredible stuff.
$20 at a supermarket? Enough to be measured as a sack instead of a bag. $20 at a restaurant? One serving, 175 tots.

There is little fear I find more contemptible than people on my side afraid that Trump is the only thing holding back the ultra competent and effective thousand year Vancereich. Have some self respect. He’s a little pig man whom everybody hates.
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 3d ago“If Trump resigns, isn’t Vance worse?” No. Vance would face an implacably hostile Congress, a series of disasters he helped cause and can’t fix, and would be caught between defending his predecessor and distancing himself. JD Vance is thanking his lucky stars he’s not president. Let’s change that.
I can’t wait for mysterious “anonymous sources” to start chattering to journalists about Trump being mentally unfit for office starting the afternoon of January 20th, coincidentally when Vance would again become eligible to be elected twice if he becomes president during Trump’s term.
Tired: “Who was president in 2020?” Wired: “Who was Vice President during the Iran war?”

americans would sooner give up the 2nd amendment than give up the idea that until they turn 18 children are just property of parents
we need an extremely expansive children's rights movement in this country like that is the only way we can stop this
Voters all across America leaned Democrat this election but don't let that distract you from the fact "let us have strangers investigate your 12 year old daughters genitals" won basically everywhere it was on the ballot this year. America really is something else

Once again we see the difference in how election maps are visualized. On the left, we have the map from Washington Post, and, on the right, the one from The New York Times. Same map, same election results, massively different image.
It’s not something I can share yet, but I got some good news I’ve been waiting a very long time for. I’m not sure I can handle much more joy at the moment, I might explode. And it’s going to be 77° here today!
Lame duck President Trump. Dems control Congress. Wow Forever releases TODAY. GTA 6 in like two weeks??? I feel hope for once in a loooooooooong time.
