At this point, any Democrat who votes to keep this government open without extracting very serious concessions — RFK’s resignation, ICE rollback, Epstein Files release, etc — will absolutely face a primary challenger who will set fundraising records.
Republicans run the White House, Congress and Supreme Court on the principle that the only role Dems can play is bailing the GOP out from facing the consequences of their own actions.

They expect Dems to clean up after them and save them from voters’ blame, and sadly some Dems want to do just that.
Actual White House quote: “go fuck yourself.”

Its not being some pearl clutching prude to ask whether this is really how most Americans want their kids to see the seat of our government behave. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

We see it every day.
47 needs to be removed from office for all our safety.
Yet they feel no urgency to report that.
The thrill of fascism is their drug.
Their failure makes them even more defensive.
White "journalists" would rather stand up for other white "journalists," no matter how shitty, than deal with the white supremacy that undergirds their profession.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Loving Kathleen Edwards’ new album Billionaire. I’ve had it on repeat for a few hours. So, so good. If you like Americana, Alt-Country, Folk Rock, and the like, this is your jam.

Check it out on your preferred streaming service—or better yet, pick up her album at your local record store.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.
People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

This is reprehensible. Trump has deployed 500 marines to fight Americans in LA. Trump is using thug war criminal Putin’s playbook.

That Ron Sexsmith and his music aren’t more popular and well known is absolutely criminal.

His new song Don’t Lose Sight is pure Sexsmith gold. I’ve had it on repeat since it came out. His new album Hangover Terrace will be released on August 29th.

Can’t believe this was already one week ago. Lantern Floating Hawai‘i is a beautiful, heartfelt event hosted by the Shinnyo-en Buddhist Church. It is inclusive of all faiths.

Watch the event in its entirety: www.youtube.com/live/8nSycQy...

I haven't seen any other members of Congress taking about ICE (and whoever else is helping ICE) wearing masks and removing badges to hide their identity.

Call your Rep &. Senators! Ask them to talk about why ICE / DHS are hiding their identities!

Road/roid rager who hits women and elderly gets arrested in L.A. and sentenced to five years. Served less than one. Shows up on O‘ahu and strikes again, assaulting a teen and her mother.

Halawa braddahs gave him choke cracks. As they should. #falsecrackmedevac
