thank god no dems were stupid enough to vote for this. what’s that? i’m getting an update, just a moment
They're running from it now. But the fact that Senate Republicans tried to give 10 of their colleagues at least $1 million each for nothing but a bogus press op captures the corruption of Trump II. In no other environment wld this even occur to the most corrupt politicians.

Y'all weren't exactly making room in the big huge tent for Zohran Mamdani, as I recall. That was months of hemming and hawing and handwringing.

But now you're flipping for MTG cos of a single weekend where her conspiracy-riddled cheesebrain finally sussed out things we all knew for YEARS.
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

A former Palantir VP has an op-ed in WaPo today offering "advice" to Democrats that includes this line: "When Democrats treat companies as politically toxic, especially those supporting national security in the United States, they alienate the builders trying to serve and advance the country."

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Everyday I normally pull from 2 decks (one seems to be better for my side, the other is better for outside factors) and ask the same question to see dif sides, I've now had it happen twice this week were the same card came out of both....

There is no motive or deeper meaning behind this mass shooting. The shooter wasn't far right or far left. Their ideology was mass shooter.

There's a nihilistic violent extremism radicalization pipeline for mass shooters that has inspired at least 3 school mass shootings in just the last year.

President Trump said the Smithsonian Institution focused too much on “how bad Slavery was.”

Scholars say the administration’s attack on the Smithsonian underscores the stakes of the institution’s role in civic engagement and democracy.
Trump says Smithsonian is too focused on slavery. Scholars see sanitizing.
President Donald Trump threatened to unleash his attorneys on the Smithsonian, saying the institution was fixated on “how bad slavery was.”

The reason there are troops at Union Station is that Trump wants every visitor who arrives to know that the city is under his military occupation. It's that simple.
REPORTER: Why are troops stationed here at Union Station and at the National Mall instead of areas where crime is higher?

JD VANCE: Crime is actually extremely high here at Union Station. You have vagrants.

Not to belabor a "I told you so", but it's been clear for years that the whole "lab leak" discourse has absolutely nothing to do with a potential lab leak and everything to do with a broader anti-science agenda.

I really, and truly, hope more scientists will realize this and take corrective action.

Honestly fucking cowardly that they are trying to redistrict Texas just for more house seats that side with Trump. Gerrymandering already sucks balls, and I know all states do it to an extent, but this is fucking nasty and such an obvious sign to how the US is moving straight into authoritarianism.

Glad I live in IL, cause every time I here some shit about other states banning trans people from bathrooms or trying to gerrymander the fuck out of their state for Republicans. I know that isn't happening here.

Surprise surprise. A week after Sarah McBride gives cover fire for throwing trans people under the bus, some Dems are privately indicating they’ll capitulate on trans youth healthcare and citing the pseudoscientific Cass Report literally drafted in consultation with hate groups.

Dems: "We need to spend millions of dollars figuring out how to get young people to turn out and vote for us."

Mamdani: "I got young people to turn out for free on a platform that is pro-Palestine, pro trans, and anti-billionaire."

It’s not a funny little meme, it’s not a cynical shitpost, the United States is the greatest threat to peace on earth. Americans need to get it through our thick skulls that we are hated the world over and deserve that hatred.
When people say “we deserved 9/11” they’re not saying it to be edgy or shitty, they say it because of situations like what is happening right now.

A President cannot declare war unilaterally yet this President continues to show complete disregard for the Constitution. This illegal action is opposed by the majority of Americans, will put us all in danger, and only benefits weapons manufacturers and war mongers.
