The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Schumer’s about to start his book tour. Bookstores let you come in with coffee, right? A big iced coffee, with lots of flavored syrup to make it sticky? In to go cups so you can hold a book like you’re gonna get it signed in one hand and a cup of iced coffee to pour on someone’s head in the other?

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

Y’all ever see a filibuster happening and go, “c’mon, I could do WAY better”. Like I’d be up there sweaty AS FUCK, gallon jug of Monster, just stream of consciousness coming out of my mouth for DAYS. I’ll bring my own puppy pads.

Been calling out people on TikTok talking bad about Karine and glazing Karoline, because all they mean is that Karine was black and they don’t like it when a black woman is in a place of power.
Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’
Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

Trump being asked if he’ll go visit a foreign leader and saying “no, I’ll meet with them here” is mostly because he’s a felon and can’t GO to those countries 😂

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

Through comments, I learned about other big myths Americans believe about foreign aid:
1/ it's risen past 1% in recent years, esp. due to Ukraine - false, max is about 0.5% in 2022 $80B
2/ it's used mostly *not* for humanitarian aid - nope
3/ It's mainly about military objectives - nope

DOGE looking at things like Medicaid, Social Security and USAID for cuts instead of the most bloated part of our national spending (military), shows you exactly what this administration is planning.
