The Republican Party is now led by Nazis. There is only one rule now-

Never help the Nazis

Never vote to confirm their people. Never allow unanimous consent. Never. Never. Never. There is no bipartisan anymore. There is just helping Nazis or not helping Nazis.

Never help the Nazis

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I’m not clear why this administration didn’t just release an “Epstein list” written in Sharpie with just
Democratic names on it.

I was considering trying to replace one of the bulbs outside of my garage while my wife was out, but falling off a ladder on my uneven driveway seemed like a pretty embarrassing way to go. My daughter could potentially hold it, but I think she is actually glued to the couch today. 😀

Anyone who has ever tried to buy healthcare directly knows that there are a lot of things that need to change in the system before it would be even remotely feasible. Something your insurance company pays $100 for is somehow $1000 when you’re paying directly.
All it took was a government shutdown to get Trump to move closer to a single payer universal health care system.

I don't think people fully realize how brutal a vise Republicans are in now. If they cave tomorrow Democrats get all the credit for giving people healthcare. If they somehow bypass the filibuster they get a year plus of headlines about ripping people's healthcare away.
"Republicans are keeping the government closed, starving kids, and making you miss your Thanksgiving flights because they want your healthcare costs to go through the roof" is actually a pretty effective message for Democrats

Things are bad when crowds throw vegetables at their leaders.

They’re really bad when those vegetables are canned.

Today's version of "remember, thou art mortal" should be a billionaire's personal assistant who keeps reminding them that, in theory, sir, a mob of furious workers might just decide to beat you to death with hammers.

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit
Defense says that the officer's testimony was "very questionable" because he said the sandwich both exploded in spray of mustard and onions and also landed in its wrapper on the ground.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Every actual quote I hear about the sandwich trial is what I imagine the trial of the Hamburglar would sound like when he finally got hit with those RICO charges.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.

But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.

You can’t negotiate with people like that.
