The senior House Dems are basically like those bad showrunners with great staffs but they rewrite every script but are also unfortunately hacks.

Top down leadership and message control without showing leadership or having a good message, kind of a problem.

Yeah because the groovy white guy everybody fell in love with kicked Ted Cruz’s oh wait no.

She can run if she wants to and if she wins the primary your job is to shut the fuck up and support the shit out of her.

“Senior House Dem“ probably just voted to confirm a Trump judge. STFU.
Jasmine Crockett’s Senate bid is infuriating some colleagues.

“She might win a primary, but she ain't winning a general in Texas," said a senior House Dem.

Another House Dem told @axios.com: “Just look to see how many House members endorse her candidacy.” www.axios.com/2025/12/12/j...

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?

TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

I tossed off a post yesterday where I used Bitcoin as slang for crypto, so I deleted and will now be more specific:

Crypto is for crime *and* speculation, and the biggest use of generative AI is porn, and the fact the current government and economy is all in on this strikes me as problematic.

The US has demanded that international law be rewritten to exempt US officials, or else… This claim sounds so cartoonishly evil that it must surely be hyperbole and yet it’s true 👇

Nazis like Nazism but are largely opposed to not burning fuel.
Non Nazis like electric but are frequently opposed to Nazism.

can't get over the team behind the mcdonald's ad wanting credit for all the late nights and long hours they spent prompting for clips. you've somehow invented a form of ersatz creativity that recreates the suffering inherent to all creative work without any valuable output or intellectual growth

The free speech party that was sooo mad about woke people banning words in school is at it again.
According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵
