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...

Oh. Cool. Just as the President is using every power he can to suppress dissent and stifle speech, @whitehouse.senate.gov and the @judiciarydems.senate.gov are trying to hand Trump a new tool to suppress speech online.

What a joke.
Sen. WHITEHOUSE: We finally are moving to file a bipartisan Section 230 repeal bill. Waiting any longer serves no useful purpose.

1. Whenever I talk about the damage RFK Jr. has done, I always try to talk about the global impact.

Prior to becoming HHS Secretary, his misinformation and disinformation caused great damage and death in places like Samoa.
I will never forgive RFK Jr. for what he’s done… never.

The layers of hell he has unleashed in many different areas — not just healthcare — over the past two decades have caused so much damage, it’s overwhelming.

He is one of the greatest villains of the 21st century.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

When Groyper leader, Nazi incel Nick Fuentes thinks Black Hitler fan Candace Owens has gone too far on her obsession with transgender people?

You know she’s really gone too far

“…She’s muttering to herself ‘space isn’t real’ She’s talking about the flat earth, the Frankists. I don’t know what any of that means. I’m gonna turn around and walk in the other direction.

The regime can still do an incredible amount of harm while they’re in power. And, they are in some ways at their most dangerous when they’re at their weakest.

But, we should all take courage from their failures and the many cracks in their coalition. If we keep pushing, we will win.

In the last few weeks, I’ve become increasingly convinced that Trump and his regime are totally cooked.

They can only stay in power by stealing elections—but they can only do that if enough people are willing to help them.

They’re in a downward spiral and can’t pull themselves out of it.

Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats.

But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.
Reporter: The senate in Indiana voted against the redistricting effort.

Trump: I wasn't working on it very hard. I wasn't very much involved
