Also someone needs to explain to, not just Rappoport (who is an idiot), but a lot of other people too, that the premise of democratic socialism is not that everyone is poor but that everyone can have nice things and afford an occasional date night out

It’s amazing how our agonizingly long election cycles train at least some people to feel locked into limited options long before their options are actually that limited.

Ok, let's say you accidentally got a nazi tat. Would you not break the speed limit driving to the shop to get it covered up the second you found out

With SNAP benefits probably ending for millions of people it’s crucial to donate what you can to your local food banks. People will be relying on them for so much and they need our support.

Like this is really it

Declaring that someone is unfit to run for a public office is not the same thing as declaring that they should be banished from human society forever or publicly executed. No one is owed a Senate nomination

Once again, if the administration had a good story to tell on the law or the facts, it would be telling it—including to Congress.

But it doesn’t.

These lawless premeditated killings are exactly what they look like.

I’m skeptical that a court can or will do this, but i think it has to be tried, because the GOP has descended to full lawlessness, and we don’t have any kind of government if the majority party can just refuse to recognize others.

1. outrageous and offensive

2. speaking as someone who's spent eight years running an organization with a very clear rule that "when the primary's over we get behind the winner, no matter what", I do not think centrist Democrats understand the pandora's box they are unleashing with this bullshit

We had to get three separate permits (+ 3 inspections) just to install a dishwasher.

i liked how Platner was campaigning and I am prepared to believe a young marine could make literally any stupid mistake. but I don't believe a guy could spend twenty years maturing politically the way he has and not know what a death's head means

I just got a striking text from the extraordinary @accfb.bsky.social about delivering emergency food to TSA staff at Oakland airport in response to Republicans holding our government hostage to hand more money to their billionaire buddies. Community solidarity in face of MAGA horrors.

I’m glad he’s removing it but sorry dude you don’t get to play the “insinuating that I knew what my tattoo meant is disgusting” card ever, even if other people weren’t telling reporters the opposite

Kinda wild that Mamdani and Sliwa are the guys who won their primaries and there has been open, nonstop meddling to overturn that will of the voters and install the disgraced former governor and it’s largely being covered like this is perfectly normal shit

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

A fun byproduct of unitary executive theory—if the president controls everyone under him, he can demand they transfer hundreds of millions in tax dollars into his bank account

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

I feel like you could fully fund the eventual restoration of the people's house by raffling off sledgehammer swings at the new ballroom.

there is a new scandal as bad or worse than what got trump impeached the first time about every 48 hours

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

I like how the NYT tried to do a “some experts say” framing, and the expert was like, you do not need an expert opinion to see this is bad.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

I mean it's all massively corrupt, just a matter of what flavor

Putting on the tinfoil hat for a bit but isn't this pretty close to the budget for the "privately funded" ballroom construction?

Jesus Christ, man
