The quote posts on this entirely correct and clear piece of political rhetoric are deeply insane. People on this site are entirely living in a hell of their own making, and not even a fun kind of hell.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.

We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.

Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

The other week, we went to do a final clean out my late MiL’s house and a non-binary friend came out to help us get rid of heavy garden stuff.
Several days later, our toddler goes “I have a question about Alex”

I was like oh dear here we go but then the question was “why didn’t they have a table?”
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

I am again asking people who spend 8 hours on this day posting about the Senate to grasp the very basic principle that you want the other guy to get blamed for the shutdown you’ve spent several months engineering

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

One of the most blackpilling things about the Biden years was that we heard for *years* before that that ppl would happily support a slight rise in costs if it meant that lower wage workers got a raise & when we saw that actually get implemented a bit, ppl lost their fucking minds with rage
Remarkable. Higher income wage growth is stronger than lower income. Before about a year ago, that was flipped. Lower income wage growth used to be very strong pre 2025. BofA data

It’s extremely important to put Elon Musk and Trump in the context of having killed hundreds of thousands of children in the last year
HORRIFYING -
Dismantling USAID & cancelling >80% of aid caused ~750,000 deaths by mid-2025

🧸Most were children
⌛️ Many died within the first year

😰 Preventable deaths were mainly from:
- HIV, TB, malaria
- Maternal & fetal deaths
- Malnutrition

I dont begrudge people for figuring out solutions to election what-ifs. But it actually makes discussion about it harder when people come in and are just like "have you considered what happens if Trump plays the 'I win' card"

The Clerk of the House who doesn't call their name when holding the vote for speaker?
Sure, but it's all Calvinball.

They could just say, we're not leaving.

Who's going to stop them?
one thing that has always confused me about these hypos where the House refuses to recognize Dem winners—the House isn't a continuing body, and it wouldn't be the current House that would be seating anyone. it's the incoming House. www.vox.com/politics/478...

I mean dude has been working on and off on the House staff for 30 years. It appears Pelosi appointed him as Deputy clerk in 2021 before McCarthy appointed him as Clerk in 2023.

ICE needs a military-sized budget because it is at war with the United States.
ICE’s pending $30 billion budget exceeds the military spending of nearly every country, including Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and Iran.

ICE + CBP funding for 2026 would total $66 billion, higher than all but 7 militaries worldwide.
After a string of ICE murders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries proposed reforms — and $11 billion more for ICE.

Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide:
