Breaking: Incumbent Democrat actually acknowledges they are older than the polio vaccine
Today, I'm announcing that I will not seek reelection next year. I made a commitment years ago to always lead the charge on behalf of those I represent, and I believe I have fulfilled that commitment to the very best of my abilities. I have always stood on the frontlines in the fight for principled progressive policies and my work has centered on the belief that there must be a floor below which we should never allow any child, family, or person to fall. I believe in giving voice to truth, speaking truth to power, and I believe as a consequence of that, we have been able to effect real results that will be felt in communities across America for generations. I also believe now is the time to pass the torch to the next leader who will continue leading this charge.

I’m sorry but these “finally, the Epstein files vote” libs are completely fucking insane. It’s going to die in the Senate ten seconds after the House vote and they think it’s somehow going to weigh on voters’ minds more than Dems agreeing to destroy their own healthcare plan.
Or 3. It was a sneaky brilliant strategy if it forces the House back & gets the release of the Epstein files & if it forces the GOP to own tanking the ACA just before Midterms. Time will tell, but the choice of the Vichy 8 definitely looks like a strategy move and not random.

I didn’t think I could possibly hate Schumer more and then holy hell. What a craven, sniveling little coward. Own this, you little shit.

THAT IS ALREADY A LAW. TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT WHO SIGNED THAT LAW. YOU ARE A FUCKING NEWS REPORTER
this legislation also includes backpay for federal employees, despite the saber rattling from the White House.

A neighbor has one of those Nimitz-class pickup trucks and it astonishes me every time I walk by it. This is me in front of its radiator grill. I am 5’11”, a.k.a. 2 feet taller than the average height of a fourth grader.

Amazing. Simply amazing. 10/10. No notes
Kamala Harris: I am saddened to learn of the passing of former Vice President Dick Cheney. Vice President Cheney was a devoted public servant, from the halls of Congress to many positions of leadership in multiple presidential administrations. His passing marks the loss of a figure who, with a strong sense of dedication, gave so much of his life to the country he loved. Doug and I are keeping Lynne, their daughters Liz and Mary, and the entire Cheney family in our thoughts during this difficult time.

We're all trying to find the guys who did this
My mother was a Heritage board member for 40 years. You have befouled her, you rancid wretch of an amoeba. I condemn your endorsement of an anti-Semitic mayoral candidate which you did because you are a pusillanimous coward. At best. Trump said Shylock the same week he destroyed Iran’s nuclear program. What have you ever done for the Jews, Jerry, except eat too much deli?

Yeah maybe we should have listened to them
It was clear in 2020 that Democratic kingmakers didn't want Kamala Harris to become Vice President and then predictably the presidential nominee in 2024 or 2028.

This is what the USDA's homepage currently looks like. I know we've long exhausted our "I can't believe they can do this" fatigue but there's literally not a single part of this is legal and it's insane how no one seems to be addressing that
Banner on the USDA homepage: "Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance."

I for one can’t believe people within a few years of getting free healthcare for the rest of their lives who own homes worth 20-30x what they paid for them in the 80’s think the economy is doing great as opposed to (checks graph) everyone else
Americans over the age of 50 overwhelmingly believe that the current state of the economy is "fairly good." Meanwhile, Americans aged 18-49 overwhelmingly believe the current state of the economy is "fairly bad" or "very bad." Young people want to own homes and raise a family, but in our current economy, they can't.

Yeah Meghan that’s because you’re really fucking stupid
I don’t understand how Trump is a King when he won every single swing state, the electoral college and popular vote in a democratic election.

This is literally how Trump became president again.
I think the theory of the case for Mills is that her #1 task is to just beat Collins, who’s historically been really hard to beat. Once that’s accomplished, you can run whoever else in 6 years and it won’t be as hard.

Again, the “why aren’t you protesting Trump instead?” people have always been lunatics, but they are especially insane doing this when we are three days away from what is possibly going to be the largest anti-Trump protest in history.
The issue isn’t criticizing Kamala Harris. The issue is why not come for the person that can change the situation in this current moment. You guys are cowards. You’re coming for someone that you know can’t fight back. You’re wasting and resources for coming for the wrong people.

Perfect case in point: here is the vice president, who has spiraled into overt sociopathy thanks to Twitter, repeating a six year old racist “joke” about Elizabeth Warren and getting a quarter million likes for it. This is what constitutes conservative brain now. Trolling from the literal top down.

Kamala Harris would be president right now if Biden supported the same deal that was on the table two years ago that Trump just did, and if you disagree you think Kamala Harris, who just -admitted to this in her own book-, is a liar

Consequences, indeed. Great talk, Professional Shitposter

Barack Obama had this and used it to defund ACORN
To pass your agenda a Dem will need 60 votes in the Senate & a majority in the house. In every battleground state voters need to show up to give a Dem President the power to deliver without negotiating. If we fail to do that, we cant complain when what's delivered is watered down
