At some point soon all Democratic Senators need to learn that “nuanced” decisions are not going to work anymore. They are destroying the government and your “compromise” is just a surrender. Some seem to get it but too many are clinging to a fantasy.

For the life of me, I don't know why Dems are repeating the words "Big Beautiful Bill." I gag typing it out. Yet another example of messaging failure by the Dems. They do not get it.

Calvin and Hobbes doesn’t get enough love for having very realistic parents who love their son but also are just constantly like for fucks sake. Plus they both look like they listen to podcasts. They are very podcast coded.

Imagine the conversations in the upper echelons of Qatar, UAE, and Saudi Arabia about how easy it is to distract THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA with shiny objects. Not metaphorical shiny objects. Actual shiny objects. Like he’s a goddamn cat. #RemoveTrump
