Imagine if Dems in the Senate hadn't caved. The House wouldn't be in session rn, the discharge petition wouldn't be signed, people wouldn't have SNAP, govt workers would be RIF'd & the GOP would have some decent talking points. But also online rage addicts would be happier! YMMV!

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

I am a single issue voter and that issue is I want the Republican Party in federal prison.
That rage you feel, as you watch the White House get leveled? That's how we beat Trump. Harness that, refine it, find ways to get other people equally enraged. Get them so mad they can't see straight. None of this kumbaya BS. White-hot, unreasoning anger, that demands the people who did this PAY.

How do we stop Russian drones in European skies?

Europe’s anti-drone strategy is like loading a shotgun full of 500 euro bills and shooting into the air. But there is a solution: using Ukrainian expertise ⤵️

Real wages rising for the exact demographics people say they want looked after, and then saying Democrats/liberals abandoned them, is one of the more disconcerting social media trends (on the left) of the last few years.

Don't you all realize what this means? The right will begin a systematic and extralegal oppression of their political enemies and vulnerable populations. This is the first thing I saw on the news after waking up from a 25-year coma.

Socialists believe that all non-voters are demoralized socialists, so a) any trick that helps them win is legitimate in that it represents the true will of the people, and b) they never have to convince anyone that they're correct, everyone agrees with them already.

the left was ripping Biden to shreds for inflation as early as 2022, as he was pushing for full employment in the face of bosses howling about labor and product costs. they attacked him for not cancelling student debt, and when he did and the Supreme Court overturned it, argued it was a ruse
Im sorry but Will is wrong here, the dems chose to run a campaign that involves cozying up the fucking Cheney's.
Thats not an olive branch to the left, its one to the right.
The center-left is entirely correct about this. The hard edge of the left showed itself to be useless as an ally and we should probably just move past it. I don’t think they’re destroying America or anything, but they do real damage to Dems and there’s no reason to take them particularly seriously
