Just like the Germans did with the Berlin Wall. Hand out sledgehammers and let the people express how they feel about Trump’s monuments to himself.
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 14h agoIt's not enough to just take this shit down in 2.5 years. We've gotta desecrate it. Flip it over and turn it into a halfpipe. Make the sides of it a dog park so something can piss and shit on it. It's the only way out of this. President AOC, I will make this happen free of charge.
If USPS officials are defying court orders or undermining our elections, we will hold them accountable. This alleged mail-in ballot scheme threatens voting, and we don't stand for it.
This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
SpacePrez@spaceprez.bsky.social · 3d agoThe polls are super bad for Trump so he's definitely going to try to cheat www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/u...
yall are gonna hear me say this a lot so here goes again: make plans to vote in person, and do it as early as possible. literally make turnout this election too big to steal.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
The Springfield Ohio bullshit is like, the most pronounced and clear cut example of American moral rot I’ve seen in forever. Literally asking Haitians to come to revitalize your hollowed-out community, and then subjecting them to this racial terror and humiliation after they do? Fucking hell
Every Republican candidate and elected official must immediately condemn Republican influencer and activist Catturd for this terrible opinion, since those are now the rules.
We *know* they know how to make a story a scandal, and they just won't do it. Then they'll turn around and blame democrats for "bad messaging." It's long past time for dems to take to take the gloves off and start calling out their bad faith bullshit every Sunday and beyond.
This isn’t about Trump! It’s a choice ALL OF US are making, to not care when a particular group of people acts like boots and thugs and monsters. “Why do the monsters keep winning the debate?” Because the abhorrent US elites refuse to treat them like what they are!
Genuinely I cannot take it. The way the press has ONE STANDARD for everyone but Trump and his goons and then A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STANDARD for them. It’s intolerable, it’s obscene
This guy used to be the lead prosecutor in Trump’s impeachment. Now he poses in seersucker with GOP Senators enabling the lawless authoritarianism & wants to do a bipartisanship on movie taxes while we have concentration camps, & illegal wars, & unprecedented corruption 🤷♂️🤦♂️ bsky.app/profile/mcop...
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 4d agoI 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.
Imagine being upset about a convenient feature that allows you to leave your keys in your pocket and not worry about locking them in the car. Then imagine you've confused this feature for another that saves money at lights by disabling your engine temporarily. This is how stupid Sean Duffy is.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoSean Duffy: "You know the stop/start button on your car? I hate that thing. Thank you Lee Zeldin! He's gotten rid of it and the first cars without the stop/start button are rolling off the line."
This is correct, but also another reason why Democrats have to lean into accountability and oversight as hard as possible when they retake Congress. It's not just about punishing criminals. It's about making it clear to the country the depth of the damage done to ready them for the repairs.
Tahar 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 🇺🇳 🇪🇺@rochaa.bsky.social · 6d agoLet me be a Debby Downer here: it will take more than 2 consecutive terms to slightly rebuild our government because the damage these guys have inflicted on every department & agency is *enormous*. Don’t look for a quick fix.
Put simply -- either Democrats hold Republicans accountable for this mess when they retake Congress, or voters will blame Democrats for it down the line.
Make your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: FBI trainee receives temporary assignment
Mark Copelovitch@mcopelov.bsky.social · 6d agoMake your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: Berlin mailman discovers book is dedicated to him
One side of the political spectrum sees injustice and asks how can we fix it? The other says you deserve what happened to you. This is the message that Democrats should be saying the most in their campaigns: a better world is possible, and we deserve it
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 7d agoDarline Graham said that because her own parents died when she was a kid, people today shouldn't expect "government health care." So I dug up the real story of the death of Darline/Lindsey's parents. It makes a strong case FOR government health care. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2148...
There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 7d agoThe situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage. Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.
No matter what you think of Hasan this is a great time to see which politicians are incapable of staying on their message. Imagine being asked about a streamer & answering directly instead of bulldozing & talking about what you wanted to talk about on tv anyways
The US president declaring himself the greatest in history, above Lincoln and Washington, would have been considered a secular form of blasphemy as little as two years ago - and a sign of profound mental instability besides. Today it’s nothing. We’re supposed to take it in stride.
Prasad Jallepalli, MD, PhD@prasad.bsky.social · last wk.this is an amazing portrait of memory loss, not to say historical revisionism no Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, or Reagan — telling
If you were to list the top 1000 real problems in the United States, voter fraud wouldn't be one of them. It’s not even in the top 10,000. Donald Trump made this up in order to make it harder for Democrats to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat.
Same. This was a craven act of capitulation that should be embarrassing for everyone involved.
Patrick Chovanec@prchovanec.bsky.social · last wk.Never forgiving Apple or Google for participating in this bullshit.
One guy has a trifecta he's using to hide cops who killed our neighbors for protesting goons putting churro ladies in concentration camps. The other says stupid shit occasionally on a Twitch stream, where he spends like 90% of his waking time. I want my party's leader to fight only the first guy.
Democrats will take back the House. And when we do, we will pass a forward-looking agenda. But our job at Oversight will be holding the Trump Crime Family accountable for their corruption.
Commentary: 'An endless amount of corruption.' In a Democratic House, Trump would face a reckoning
Rep. Robert Garcia is poised to lead the investigative Oversight Committee. The Long Beach Democrat has a robust agenda and long list of people to hold to account.

Dolly Parton and Patti LaBelle playing their acrylics. Two icons.
Even worse than MAGA taking their cues from a demented President is MAGA taking their cues from Truth Social posts ostensibly written by him but instead posted by a 35 year old unhinged stalker.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 2w agoIt should be bigger news that Natalie Harp reportedly dug up the image that Trump posted of the Obamas as apes. On the pod, @greene.haus is great on how Harp debases our country—and all of us. "It’s degrading and sordid to be governed this way," he says. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/2146...
They can try to govern, or not. It should be of no interest to the Democratic Party, which should only have one objective: the liberation of America from the evil clutches of Trump and the full restoration of our Constitution.
This family and their many tendrils are a corrupt conspiracy to destroy America in order to extract wealth and tribute from the wreckage. They have no genuine policy interests to collaborate on; the only thing you can offer them is a bribe, which is unacceptable. We have nothing to talk about.
All I want is a Democratic Party that treats MAGA and its minions like a hostile occupying power, which is exactly what it is.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2w agoRepresentative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, met privately in recent weeks with Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and top outside adviser, and discussed potential areas of common ground, according to people with knowledge of the meeting.
This would be a great time for one of the big celebrity book clubs to highlight “The Jungle.”
What reason could @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social possibly had to meet with the presidents son in law or does he just meet with all the presidents in laws?
The only meeting Hakeem Jeffries should be having with Jared Kushner is to tell him he’ll be subpoenaed by the House for a corruption investigation on day one of Democratic control of the House. This is just pathetic stuff from the House Dem leader. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/u...
Jeffries and Kushner Meet Privately as Midterm Attacks Fly
President Trump’s son-in-law and the man in line to be speaker of a Democratic-led House discussed how Democrats and the administration could work together.
