Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

Even MTG has come out against this one (after she “accidentally” voted for it, obv)
Republicans snuck an AI regulation BAN into the “Big Beautiful Bill.”
That means companies like Real Page can use AI to get around price fixing laws and RAISE YOUR RENT.
BUT this policy violates the Senate's budget rules.
I'm calling foul — and fighting back to reject it.

Y’all should see people dutifully walk around the office with their vendor cookies at the holidays, making sure to share with the entire office so we don’t get in trouble as a public agency.
It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.

Why is the Daddy Party allowed to rant & rave & do impulsive, stupid shit & never, ever be held to account, while the Mommy Party is endlessly scolded & lectured & second-guessed by everyone, even when it is earnestly trying to do the right thing?
Gosh. What a puzzler.

crazy that an influx of dense infill housing can lower prices and make homeownership more attainable
"In 2020, [Portland, OR] approved building [middle housing] on lots zoned for single family homes... A new report from the City says, it's working. 1,400 new units built in just a few years and each one is $300,000 less expensive than a typical single family home." @nbcnews.com

Lurie is cutting transit service and replacing it with Waymo. letting rich people clog up the street with robotaxis that stall all the time while regular people in buses get stuck behind is terrible policy and undoes the whole point of car-free Market. absolutely catastrophic
Mayor Daniel Lurie to allow Waymo on San Francisco’s car-free Market Street
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie said Waymo autonomous taxis would be allowed to operate on portions of Market Street where other vehicles are prohibited.

In 1990, thousands of Americans with disabilities decided to stop waiting for elected officials to act. Their efforts changed the minds — and the votes — of elected officials and resulted in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

i think everyone needs to stop framing whats going on as “bending the knee” and what’s really happening which is “they’re finally feel free to do what they’ve always wanted to do”

And what I want, right now, as a Democrat, is a scorched earth strategy. I don’t want any cooperation with these fucking traitors. I want Sherman through South Carolina energy. I want Republicans to regret ever hearing the name Donald Trump, let alone nominating him.
Democrats lost 2024 because Democratic voters didn’t turn out. That’s the truth. But all the attention (again!) has been on Trump voters and what we can do for them and how we can reach them and and and FUCK THEM MY GOD. I am so tired of this. Democrats need to focus on Democratic voters!
