You can tell it's a Republican bill because if it was a Democratic bill the headline would highlight the $3.8 capital-T Trillion it is adding to the federal deficit in the most breathless terms imaginable, and the entire article would be devoted to wondering how it would ever be paid for.

The House bill increases funding for ICE but $45 billion which is 5 times their current budget of $9 billion. We are seeing the rise of a fascist police state with the ICE gestapo as its vanguard.

This passed 215-214. We're going to lose our healthcare because 3 senior Dems have died this year. We lost Roe because Ginsburg didn't retire. We lost the election because Joe ran for reelection. Our country is being destroyed because geriatric Dems can't retire and let go of power.

thinking about how ICE has moved on to outright trickery, camouflage, and kidnapping as their main way to "crack down on illegals" and i'm pretty sure it's because people are being told their rights which fucks up the whole operation

it's clear this administrations strategy is to just do whatever they want, legality be damned, and then stall for time by feigning ignorance or flat out writing fanfiction to retcon legality.

i do think the gentocracy problem is primarily caused by older rep who believe that holding a position is a part of their identity instead of holding a place of public trust, they aren't able to see the line between themselves and the job

when journalists ask the president if he's worried about troop movements, what they're asking is what the official policy of the US is. trump always answers as if they're asking him personally what he's thinking about in the shower. 1

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

everyone's rightfully dunking on jake for selling a "tell all" that changes nothing about current politics, but CNN legitimizing it really speaks to the way news organizations see information as a product above all else.

I’m asking for your donation. But it’s not for me. To defeat Andrew Cuomo and turn the page on corruption, we need strong candidates in this race like Speaker Adrienne Adams. NYC, give what you can before Monday night’s deadline!

Democratic insiders are using the vote kerfuffle to paint David Hogg as an attention-seeking malcontent. For years, these people have been happy to hold him up—a school shooting survivor—as the future of the party. But now the knives are out bc he broke the cardinal rule by criticizing the party.

still maddening how many geriatric Dem senators have run or are running for re-election instead of setting up an orderly transition to a successor or permitting turnover
