El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Vote Blue No Matter Who...Except That Progressive Candidate Who Takes on the Oligarchy and Opposes Israel's Genocide and is an A-RAB MOZLEM then!!!

It is a real shame that someone takes some time to look at men’s mental health as a public health crisis and other people get mad about that and say things like “women struggle too,” it’s not a zero sum situation. But as long as people are divided as genders, some stuff has to be seen individually

It's not a disagreement about politics. Itr's a morality/decency thing.

I think people are catching on that spending our money to bomb children on the other side of the world is why we don’t have nice things.

I’m old enough to remember who the “essential workers” were during peak of the pandemic. Remember? Many of those workers are being deported or can’t put food on the table right now.

It's not radical to believe everybody in the richest country in the world should have healthcare. It's not radical to believe we shouldn't send our money abroad to bomb people when we need money for our schools here. It's not radical to believe corporations shouldn't be able to buy politicians.

politicians want everyone to speak well of terrible people who died because many of them are terrible people who will die

Decency left the chat LOOOONG ago. We’re grillin & cookin in celebration of this vile piece of shit being sent back to the lobby. Decency deez nuts.

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

Damn when even the LAPD thinks you’re a threat to civil rights you’ve really achieved a high mark on the all-time worst guys scoreboard.

As the outbreak of cyclospora grows it has been reported that last year due to a lack of funding the CDC made tracking it optional, with means this outbreak (which causes explosive diarrhea) is just further proof that cutting the CDC’s funding was a really shitty idea.

They aren't cowardly. This needs to stop being said. They're calculating. This has been their goal for years. They've played the long game & they're finally achieving their goals. He's a useful idiot to them to do what they want done. To frame them as cowardly denies their role in raising him up.

If you were cool with this, you can shove that "Happy Independence Day" up your ass.

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

Rank and file American conservatives would rather cook themselves than ever admit they were wrong.

MAJOR BREAKING: In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that states may count mail-in ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day, even if they arrive afterward. Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh dissented.

People would probably like the Democratic Party more if those at the top didn't act like whiny piss babies when incumbents were challenged/defeated

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

Jaime Harrison@jaimeharrison.bsky.social · last mo.

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

When you refer to the Democratic Party, are you referring to the infrastructure controlled by the DNC and DSCC? Or are you referring to the people who have been holding their nose and voting for triangulating focus group tested candidates for their entire adult lives.

This Juneteenth, we should remind ourselves of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. It’s as simple as that.

Can we finally all agree that the argument “we should run the country like a business, and therefore elect businessmen to run it” has been a failed experiment?

If the U.S. wants to stop the housing crisis, it should invest in housing, not criminalization. This legislation is another example of the U.S.'s cruel commitment to expanding the carceral system.

National Homelessness Law Center@homelesslaw.bsky.social · 2mo ago

BREAKING: The Louisiana Senate passed a disturbing anti-homeless bill that pushes homeless people into jails, forced treatment, and unpaid labor. Hours earlier, the same lawmakers voted to give themselves $1,000 to cover housing expenses, recognizing housing is too expensive.

The best way to honor fallen soldiers is to avoid careless reasons to create more of them.

Money out of politics.
