Republicans can't believe their fucking luck that as they force through a historically unpopular bill, Democrats are - as usual - eating their own, attacking a popular Democratic mayoral nominee and ignoring their bill. Love it @democrats.org @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social keep fucking it up guys

‘Attacking the future of the party while Republicans strip every poor person of Medicaid in the middle of the night,’ by way of example, is not acceptable leadership. He's gonna have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward.

This is a fraud on the American people that would make even the Enron scammers blush. Senate Republicans are violating the rules to hide the cost of their plan and bankrupt the country — all to give tax cuts to billionaires.

Never bet against the Republicans' willingness to sell out after spending weeks feigning concern. It's all an act. They're all self-serving cowards who will put party over country every single time.

Don't forget that the Supreme Court has undertaken this radical expansion of executive power and personal immunity not for some ordinary Republican but for the most corrupt president In American history. They're doing it for THIS GUY, who is guaranteed to abuse every ounce of power he's given.

Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

I mean, if everything is going in the shitter, there’s no reason to have anti-gay people have all the fun; start making religious objections to all sorts of stuff. The Ten Commandments getting put into class all over, for instance. That’s at least 40% religious orthodoxy.

Extremely grateful to @rubenbolling.bsky.social for the copy of his newest book I won through his Patreon. Long-time fan of his incredible parodies, which provide a much-needed laugh in otherwise profoundly dark times. Thank you, Ruben! Get it yourself: cloverpress.us/collections/...

One thing that's clear is that these kidnappings will continue so long as there's no organized resistance to them. That resistance could be nonviolent or armed, coordinated by state and local governments or by groups of residents. Bottom line is that someone has to get between immigrants and ICE.

The Supreme Court is about to go on an extended summer vacation, after having blown up the docket of every single lower court judge who has been working like a dog to deal with the firehose of illegal orders coming out of this administration.

John Oliver covered the religious exemption stuff a couple weeks ago and the gross unintended consequences of that law. I can't wait for it to be worse. Everything gets worse when Republicans are in power. Everything.

I'm so fucking tired of living under the most corrupt and "imperial" Supreme Court in this nation's history. Come time for the Democratic primary (lol), I'm not voting for anyone who doesn't disband ICE, expand SCOTUS, and full-throatedly defend trans people and their rights. This is so fucked.

Every time the Supreme Court dumps a load of decisions right before heading off for vacation, I'm reminded of how Clarence Thomas marked the conclusion of one SCOTUS session by boarding a private jet to Indonesia where he and Ginny island-hopped aboard Harlan Crow's 162-foot superyacht:

The tale of Trump and “his” justices — you need to understand this to understand what went down at the Supreme Court. The commonly understood story is wrong. So here we go 🧵

Meanwhile, they'll probably be building a bomb with their probably intact stockpile, and we won't know until it goes off because of Trump forcing the intel to agree with him when it doesn't. See: tulsi changing her mind.

This is truly some insane brown nosing even for a toadie. These people are hopeless. I'd like to think this kind of over-the-top performance will wake up some MAGA, but who am I kidding?

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

A fun thing about American politics is that more people voted in New York City in a June primary than live in five states that get two senators.

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future. Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

Zohran’s victory is an earthquake. The left everywhere must dedicate itself to an insurgency against Dem incumbents. The Dem establishment has lost credibility w/ its base in the face of fascist threat. The base is looking leftward for new leadership. We are the opposition party.

Brad Lander: "I also need to thank some of the most important people in my life and on this campaign—I mean, of course, the NYT editorial board. Just kidding, of course: I love Wordle and Connections, but I really urge the Times to cancel their new feature 'Editorial Riddles.' No one likes those."

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.
