yes, trump is a sociopathic freak, but the far bigger problem is that every single Republican in Congress is a cuck with a humiliation fetish the founding fathers envisioned a mad king president but what they never imagined was such a cucked congress

the intentional abdication by Congress of nearly all of its constitutional responsibilities is at the core of most of our problems as a nation

A wealth tax based on the market value of your car is so cool

It’s so cool to elect republicans and use ballot initiatives to overturn all their policy

Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social · 17h ago

Missouri Republicans have relentlessly tried to destroy ballot initiatives after voters used them to protect abortion rights, legalize weed, raise the minimum wage, and reform redistricting. They are currently sabotaging a veto referendum that should have suspended the GOP's new House gerrymander

One of my hot takes is that we fuck up book releases in opposite order. The paperback should be the first edition. The hardback should be second.

Last year, Black drivers were more than twice as likely as white drivers to be searched by Louisville police officers during a traffic stop. That’s the topline finding in a report given to the Louisville Metro Police Department from its own hired consultant. www.lpm.org/news/2026-08...

I like the idea that every citizen should get to use one thing their tax dollars pay for that otherwise they wouldn’t have access to I’ve done most of the military stuff I’d like to do; I think that my request would be to go change batteries at a weather monitoring station somewhere deep in Glaicer

“No alternative but to take his word” motherfucker you’re a lame duck who got turfed out of your own party in favor of an actual felon because you were insufficiently groveling to these guys. You’ve got plenty of choice. You’re free. What you’re lacking is courage and dignity.

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" 🙃

Republicans love pushing vocational-only education instead of comprehensive-education because they want a healthy supply of low-cost servants and less competition for the professional and boss jobs they want their own kids to have.

Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · yesterday

In a college sociology class in the late 1980s I was assigned a Marxist analysis of education that argued that the US education system is designed primarily to produce efficient workers for the labor market. And now Trump’s Department of Education is just tweeting it out.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

This is ridiculous. Inside information actually helps make markets about whether George Santos will do something George Santos has bet on George Santos doing more efficient.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 2d ago

George Santos has been fined $35,000 for attempting to place bets on his own attendance at the State of the Union in February. He’s also been banned from the prediction-market platform Kalshi for 3 years.
