if the Democrats response to losing is to insult the electorate then they absolutely deserve to lose again.
watch the Senate not even meet in January. we'll get recess appointments so all the nominees take their seats with little to no official vetting at all

Picked up this little book of writers’ writing rituals, & I think most of em are liars — “up at dawn, 6 hours at my desk, followed by calisthenics, liquor, & reading edifying works.” But David Lynch delivers the goods.

Hahah this is awesome. This is a real time swear visualizer. You can long press on each word and it’ll take you to the skeet that the word was used in 😆

Sen. Bernie Sanders goes scorched earth, saying "The Democrats ran a campaign protecting the status quo and tinkering around the edges" and that its leadership "are much too wedded to the billionaires and corporate interests that fund their campaigns."

Turns out their hatred of immigrants isn’t based on the law.
It’s based on their servants inconveniencing them a little while they deliver food because they can’t fucking feed themselves.

Wait I was called an alarmist, a fake news spreader when I said #Project2025 was Trump’s playbook to destroy our form of government. So many MAGA Republicans said he has nothing to do with it, I guess y’all got hoodwinked. When they tell you who they are, believe them. #DemVoice1

A must read article explaining the felon’s mirroring of Viktor Orbán in his attempt to turn America into an autocracy from an expert who experienced it in Hungary.
Even better, the author provides logical reasoning for how we combat MAGAts plans.

The next few years are going to be tough, but just remember what Anne Herbert said:
"Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries."
The best time to join your local library is right now - if you have not already done so!

Winning Policy for Democrats #1
Caps on wages for and number of bureaucrats working at universities that accept federal student aid.
Cap on tuition and fees for said Universities
This will solve the systemic problem of too many six-figure admins who are responsible for jacking up college prices

Yes.
The AG shouldn’t be under investigation by the DOJ.
The Director of National Intelligence shouldn’t be on a TSA watch list.
The HHS Secretary shouldn’t be an anti-vax conspiracy theorist.
The Secretary of Education shouldn’t have a history of allowing men to abuse children.
