I think about this a lot too. I am deeply morally wounded by this shitshow.
along with the heinous literal crimes i think a lot about how there's a kind of moral, national crime in subjecting all of us to this, to this consuming our politics, committed against us by a number of powerful and connected people up to and including the president

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.

Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.

Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

I can't remember the precise wording but someone on here said that the Republican threat to expose Bill Clinton too isn't so much a threat as it is a "buy one, get one free" promotion.
"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Many companies do not clearly disclose how they collect and use student information. Congress should amend FERPA to hold these vendors, rather than the schools, directly responsible for vendor compliance, Lavanya Sathyamurthy writes.

The funny thing is the people who always bring up Bernie Sanders in my mentions always miss the fact that if I were a fanboy for any politician, it would be Obama. But we shouldn’t be a fanboy/girl for any of these people. They are our employees and we should hold them to work standards.

Can we hope that does for Abbott what it did for Cuomo and Ciattarelli?
Donald Trump endorses Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for reelection
The president praised Abbott for leading this year’s effort to redraw the state’s congressional maps to favor Republicans during the 2026 midterm elections.

Voters truly hate Trump right now—for failing to lower prices, for terrorizing communities with his masked gestapo, and so much more. trib.al/i7pWtN8

His disapproval rating in a CNN poll this week hit a record 62%—one point higher than the same poll taken right after the January 6 insurrection.
Trump Has One Mission: To Make Your Life Hell
Tuesday’s elections should have been a wake-up call for Republicans. Instead, the administration is responding in the only way it knows how: causing more misery for millions of Americans.

Fine, I'll do it: Rep. Ro Khanna, a member of the Medicare for All and Congressional Progressive Caucuses who represents Silicon Valley, is the first sitting Democratic congressperson to demand the resignation of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

This tracker will be updated in real time: 🧵
Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?
