No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

no, the truth is that without the filibuster centrist collaborationist Democrats and their Republican co-conspirators would have no weapon to stop Medicare for All. no weapon to stop taxing billionaires. this is why they want to keep it. they need it, their corporate capitalist handlers require it.

i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

Abigail Spanberger takes a swipe at Mamdani, saying "maybe he should be a Democrat" and that his campaign promises are dishonest.

I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath.
Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history.
So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.

I actually don't think she should be able to have a moments rest until she explains why Andrew Cuomo is fine but Al Franken is not. Like someone should follow her around with a bullhorn screaming the question at her.
Kirsten Gillibrand on WNYC won’t endorse Mamdani. Said she doesn’t endorse NYC mayoral races (she endorsed Adams in 2021), and is waiting to see who runs on what line. What a fucking disgrace.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.
If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

Right on, Dodgers!

the criticism that Dems put forth old and ailing politicians to their detriment is unquestionably true, but there’s a large contingent of the party dedicated to calling you a heartless scumbag if you point it out
Three democratic members of congress who were sworn in this January have died in the first four-plus months of the session.
The family of Dem Rep. Gerry Connolly announced that he has died at 75. Connolly had been fighting cancer.

I understand the argument that the impeachment vote in the House is symbolic and thus potentially a "waste of time" but the people who make that argument never explain, and once again in this case have not explained, what *more valuable thing* they need to do with the time instead.

2026 is the last chance to remove Congressional Democrats who want to acquiesce to the destruction of Constitutional democracy—and replace them with Democrats who think it's important to stand up for rights and rule of law—ahead of 2028, when there's serious risk the election is not free and fair.
Stephen Lynch, aiming to be top Dem on the Oversight Cmte, blew up at a constituent who asked him to oppose the GOP.
