The classic dem platform of “Vote Blue But Sometimes It Depends Who But Other Times It Doesn’t”

Those Republicans care that the party wins overall. These Dems care that they personally win their seats. Every one of these turncoats has been someone who placed their own political aspirations above everything else. That's the throughline. They have to go

SCOTUS is aiming to undo birthright citizenship and the VRA and keeps gutting the first amendment, while GOP is set to pass a bill that outlaws green energy and kills medicare, so Hakeem is ready to do what must be done: direct all fire at the charismatic leftist promising better through solidarity

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

I'm OK with Democrats going on Fox News to counter misinformation and debate the conservative hosts or moderators. Going on Fox News to slam another Democrat should get you stripped of your committee assignments and DCCC funding.

And you think they'll win *without* rebuilding? When 60% of their own constituents want the party leadership replaced? They're going to get rinsed.

The defining feature of Sam Alito's jurisprudence is the notion that the most pernicious form of discrimination in America is "people not being respectful enough to bigots" ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/mahmo...

The hateful, xenophobic, and anti-Muslim attacks on Zohran Mamdani and our Muslim colleagues cannot go unanswered and must stop. Anti-Muslim speech and its normalization undermines the safety, dignity, and rights of our communities and erodes our fundamental democratic values. We must reject hate.

she has to go

This guy was indicted for bribery lmao

When the Mamdani family lived in South Africa for a time, while Zohran was young, Zohran was reported by a teacher in Cape Town for having called himself "mustard" when asked what race, or what color, he was.

Thomas is hinting at saying the Voting Rights Act is entirely unconstitutional yeah?

It’s bad that Trump thinks he got elected Boss of America and the whole government is just his staff, but it’s much worse that a majority of the Supreme Court and the leaders of both chambers of Congress agree

i don't think the supreme court can be salvaged in any capacity and while the fight is certain to be long and arduous, the long-term goal of anyone concerned with ensuring the preservation of our nation's values should be seeing it demolished as an institution

just listened to Kirsten Gillibrand imply that Zohran wants to murder all Jews and destroy Israel. like an order of magnitude more racist than anything George W. Bush ever said about Muslims

So just to recap: - Parents can force schools to erase LGBTQ+ existence because ??? - The Court's opinion on birthright citizenship is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. - We're reverting back to the Articles of Confederation ig ??? Except our population is now 340 million and every court might be its own country.

I’m clearly not a lawyer so this isn’t legal analysis, but thinking as someone who studies institutions & contentious politics, I’d say we could understand the Supreme Court as having suspended the constitution—it operates to the extent that lower courts & states enforce it despite the Supreme Court

Welcome back Holy Roman Empire

Funny how the US has basically the government of Iran now: Supreme Leader who rules by decree, priestly council with token opposition that decides whether the decisions are okay or not on arcane scriptural grounds, and completely ceremonial legislature

this is getting a lot of play but you would need leftists in office for this. you have mainly democrats. different state of play.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

let the catastrophizing begin!

One quick takeaway from the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship case: The conservative justices fucking HATE Ketanji Brown Jackson already www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

all of the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence about executive power - all of it - can be replaced with a simple flow chart. is the president a Republican? if so it’s ok. if not, it’s presumptively not ok.

Birthright ctizienship is good and essential and we're going to need a second Reconstruction to undo the combined damage of the Roberts Court and the second Trump administration.

🚨By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court rules that universal injunctions likely exceed federal courts' authority and rolls back the injunctions protecting birthright citizenship from Trump's attack. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

weiss’ singular talent is her ability to flatter the sensibilities of rich men of influence. that’s it. she makes them feel like they aren’t as vapidly reactionary as they actually are.

when i buy whiskey from the ABC store, that's like the soviet union, to me.

here is a list of people to primary out of the party at the first opportunity, add Gillibrand the money laundering shill to the list too

Young voters lived through the first failed Democratic presidency of their lifetimes after being assured his experience would have the opposite effect

Ireland publishes the framework of its revised Occupied Territories Bill. Once it's passed into law, Ireland will be the first EU member state to ban imports from Israel's illegal settlements.

It must be nice to be such an incredible fuck-up, be attached to the Bush administration as an Iraq War cheerleader, and then be this gross in public while still being employable in the American media ecosystem.

louder for the people in the back

The "Vote Blue No Matter Who" bitches can vote Mamdani in November 😌

andrew cuomo won't see your insults but corrupt, serial sexual harassers who are trying to run cities they don't actually live in will

this is also why i am very suspect of the "WelcomePac" centrist types because they mostly seem to hate other Democrats
