Scotts a pretty good harbinger of the right flank and most MAGA aligned wing of the senate, so if he's not interested in fighting it, they don't have 50 to ignore the ruling

I fundamentally do not think there is any universe in which the GOP does not pass an extension of the TCJA tax cuts in some form.

affirmative action for right wing lunatics

I think Spanberger is going to win the VA gov by like 10 points, at least.

Generally I think that allowing the parlimentarian to remove a lot of the worst parts of the bill and saying your hands are tied by senate rules is an easy way to limit the damage of an unpopular bill and perhaps save some of your own members political futures.

I am going to be very interested to see if Thune actually follows the Byrd bath guidance and doesn't just ignore the parliamentarian (like he says he's going to, to be fair!) - the bill that's coming out is vastly different than the one that went in.

well this explains the special prosecutor

man harry enten has really become a crap commentator

It's always projection of some sort lmao

yep. yep yep yep

Man that Padres-Dodgers series was fun as hell lmao. Those teams seem to literally despise one another and that makes for some great viewing.

Trump has good political instincts sometimes I'll give him that. You ha e multiple major internal fights, the bill getting washed in the Byrd Bath and your immigration policy is a farce and a tragedy that's dragging your approval down. Time to change the news cycle a bit.

Orange Man getting lazy.

The 5th circuit...

It's actually a good point. I'm mostly keyed into the county data but the difference between population centers and pure rural may be more stark. Any literature that you're aware of here?

Hard rural like this are Trumps heartland. Hard to overstate how bad he's fucking his own voters.

*revs engines fascist-ly*

Surprisingly aggro tonight on the blueksy. Yes I am rooting for ICE, really just laying it out there that I think they're great. Or you know, you could fucking read.

I mean, good??

Yeah potentially corticosteroids.

Its honestly my favorite dumb Trump thing and I've posted about it for years at this point. Remember when he asked the MIC why he could see the planes? Lmao.

Your continuing reminder that Trump.literally thinks Stealth technology is the plane is invisible.

So Miller Is 100% the actual president.

Lmao Trump yelled at his pollster to give him a good poll.

I mean I am going to try and say this with all respect of your situation: fighting isn't posting. I worked as a lobbyist with the SRA in Montana and people in wheelchairs who could barely function dragged themselves to the congress to demand to be seen.

They're trimming the fat on bad posting, Ariel.

In addition to all the evil ICE commits: they are, to a man and to their cores, complete cowards. They are humiliated right now and lying like six year olds over who ate the snacks.

Looking weak like this in the Trump administration is literally begging to get Miller come to your office and shout for hours and hours, it's not surprising they're all rushing to cover they asses.

The Dodgers openly moving against ICE like this is very notable imho.

In a universe where the alternative is a serious candidate that is simply slightly more right wing, I think this is a fundamentally acceptable point. However, in our universe.. *gestures at everything* - this argument shows a complete lack of empathy for the weakest amongst us and is pure hubris.

kinda feels like the admin is massively failing to consolidate itself.

Oh Miller is going to be so fucking mad.

i mean u need infrastructure to build bombs

I mean this is continuing confirmation, imho, that the massive public pressure campaign is tanking morale internally. Homan, et. al doing these sort of appeals to humanity really gives away the game a bit.

Everything old is new again

alright gonna go work have a good day everyone much to my posting habit's dismay, medicine is not stopped.

you honestly can't keep getting away with this lmao

i think that the GPT-5 charAIs with ads would be absolutely hilarious. just sliding in product placements when you're talking with your AI girlfriend

might i suggest to you, dear reader, that poasting on bluesky is not activism and if you honestly believe that all hope is lost i have no idea why you aren't hoarding ammo and building a compound with your free time, because that would be a much better use of your time than yelling at people online

Something I remember from COVID was someone telling me that they were exhausted because they were spending 20 hours every day "doing activism" And I was like, oh word? So you're like helping at hospitals and such? Nah, they were posting on reddit.

fwiw, tea leaves of doing this imho is that ICE knows that denying members entrance to facilities is a losing issue for them.

-8 is his best result by a country mile.

I find that "You are yelling at a cartoon plane who insists that he lives on JP-8 - I am not sure you are spending your time wisely" works very well on this person.

yeah this is an in-kind donation
