Stupid if true. Won't net her a single extra Republican vote www.abc15.com/news/state/r...

Trump the Party has fucked up the economy enough that people are finally starting to realizing what has been true all along: by every measure, Democrats produce better economic results
For the first time since 2017, a Reuters/Ipsos poll finds Democrats surpassing Republicans on which party voters think has a better approach to the economy. Trump's approval rating is at 35%. Democrats lead by 5-points on the generic congressional ballot.
And this is how you do it. Melat Kiros shoudl take notes #copolitics
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
We aren’t talking about Hungary enough. Viktor Orban was in power for 26 years, had vastly more power than Trump ever dreamed of & was tossed out…because people VOTED. And now his successor is systematically dismantling his power structure.
Well, this is interesting...
After Rev. Adam Hamilton's win in the Kansas Democratic Senate primary to take on GOP Sen. Roger Marshall, we shift the race into a more competitive category, from Solid to Likely Republican. Read this from @jessicataylor.bsky.social:
I very much hope this is wrong. So far, there's no real evidence that a DSA (or in this case DSA-adjacent) candidate can win in an even remotely competitive district or state. Really want el Sayed to win b/c if he doesn't, Tom's right.
I know what’s going to happen in Michigan and I just assume that the Senate is now out of reach
Can ANY of these fucking leftists answer a single softball question?
Just say no. Say no. You say no. That's all you say. "No." Jesus Christ.
So as I understand it, leftists are now mad at Melat Kiros because she *checks notes* called out Tucker Carlson for his antisemitism? #copolitics
Friendly reminder that Cornyn is a former justice of the Texas Supreme Court. And a chickenshit
Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
The guys who aren’t even really socialists are now populists?
1/ Republicans are running a psych operation on Democrats. They warn us not to nominate populists. But leaked GOP memos prove they’re actually terrified of populist candidates. Trump said it himself: Bernie was the one he didn’t want to face. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Cornyn goes out as he came in, a complete & utter chickenshit
Cornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃
LEFT TO RIGHT: Defeated the British, freed the slaves, raped the children.
Every REAL America knows taxes are to pay for a bloated military to blow up girls' schools and a private army to brutalize people in this country
Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
I'd like to point out that these were Texas state securities laws not Federal. Do you know how flagrant you have to be to violate Texas securities laws?
11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.
The Ones Who Walked Towards Omelas Because It Would Create a Funny Picture of Trump
Many things are complicated. "Don't use technology that's built on the blood of child slaves if you have alternatives" really isn't. A marginal increase in my quality of life isn't worth a child's life, actually.
Republicans are disgusting weirdos who wanted to examine your kid's genitals just because they want to play sports.
An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
Told ya
GOP Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis say they're now ready to support Todd Blanche for AG because DOJ agreed to nix Trump's $1.8 billion slush for Jan. 6 rioters. Except Trump and his sons are still getting sweeping immunity from ongoing IRS tax audits. www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...
What a genteel way of saying Trump is an unhinged moron who can’t keep his lie hole shut
Sen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."
One day, I will care about the people blocking me

What the Iranian attack confirms is that Trump is no longer capable of operating in the real world when it dissents from the Trump as God Emperor narrative. He can't process information that dissents from the narrative. Thus he cannot lead or protect us; and we are in danger bsky.app/profile/did:...
Where is our government? Trump? DHS Secretary Mullin? Is the American homeland under attack? www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...
We can be sure there are no aliens because if there were Trump would've already sold the entire planet to them for a bag of magic beans.
Trump having a normal one today
Anecdotes aren't evidence but I had a conversation recently w/a Canadian med prof who lives & works in the US. Their child was born here & is an American citizen w/American passport. When flying back to the US recently they & their spouse were berated by Customs & accused of scamming the system by
Sooner or later Leftists are going to have to come to grips with their antisemitic elements. And their racist elements.
this is not nick fuentes level anti-semitism. but it's close enough.
Having a rapist & pedophile as president warrants a shrug but asking if a US Senator is alive or dead is evidently a bridge too far
Remarkable: Dems have now pulled even with the GOP *on immigration* in two new national polls. A third finds Trump 22 points underwater on the the issue, and *32 points* underwater among independents. Trump has absolutely destroyed the GOP advantage on immigration. newrepublic.com/article/2138...
