I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

Lauren handjob Boebert cruising out of the Sit Room completely unintimidated by the full weight of an American presidency should have a chilling effect on ICE agents, but it won’t, because they are very, very stupid

man we need a way to say "the moral rot and depravity of this country's elite must be burned out of it with cleansing fire" that isn't wildly reactionary-coded

Is today the biggest day for Sweeney’s Hammer?
Sweeney’s Hammer (“they are covering election-related stories this way because they want Trump to win the election, credit to @mtsw.bsky.social ) is by far the most powerful explicatory principle, and people who work for outlets like the Times or NBC or CNN should take stock of their role

It’s insane to treat the filibuster as the most sacrosanct.

Article 1 power of the purse, oversight, and war? Nah.

Emoluments clauses? Bribery prohibition? Meh.

Criminal law? 14A? Doesn’t count.

But maybe the Senate changes a rule it has multiple times before? Gasp! Not that. Anything but that.

listening to some of their victims tonight made me even more certain that the single best thing any of us can do to bring about justice for DHS is make sure that in three years everybody you know is ready to demand nuremburg type stuff.

1) Republicans fundamentally do not fear tit-for-tat consequences

2) They are manifestly correct in that assumption

3) Everything else in American politics is either an elaboration or an avoidance

I have to hand it to them, it's an incredible bit to publicly lose a game of chicken, admit that's what happened, and then spend the next day lecturing everyone about courage and tenacity

I’ve given tens of thousands of dollars to Democrats over the years. For what. Nothing.

Yeah, I think I'm back on Team Nazi Tatt.
Think this moment shows why Mills cant become Senator, because you know she would be one of the Mod senators wanting to cave.

Hope some third Dem candidate jumps in who wants to abolish the filibuster, otherwise Platner is the only other option.

It was totally working. They were going to have to blow up the damned filibuster.
Sen. Angus King on why Democrats caved: "It wasn't working."

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

What is, in the most basic terms, the point of the Democratic Party?

Hochul. Freaking Hochul. The weathervane is pointing in the precise opposite direction, because FOR ALL her faults she can read election returns. Unbelievable.
Interesting that NY gov Kathy Hochul felt compelled to put out a statement against Dems' deal to end the shutdown

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.
