This is embarrassingly stupid. This is literally Senate Dems handing censorship power to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. WTF are they thinking?

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Has it occured to them that one reason voters aren’t biting on the idea that liberal democracy is facing an existential threat is that they find it inconceivable the opposition party would be nattering about fucking egg prices if they really believed that were true?

Bill Kristol is to the left of a lot of reactionary centrist columnists and even a few Democratic members of Congress. The Never Trumpers have already been through a losing fight against the far right. In some cases, it’s improved their core understanding of politics.

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

My short-term political allegiances are now entirely based on who is most willing to stand up to Trump. AOC? Bill Kristol? Why not both!

our elite kept telling us “Twitter is not real life” but they are, at this point, clearly so immersed in the sludge there that they think Nazi groypers are the median American and therefore treat outright racism as normal this is why we’re seeing no outrage over segregationist “anti-DEI” policy

How are we going to ever convince regular Americans to be outraged at Trump lawbreaking if we can’t even convince the leaders of the political party opposing him to be outraged

If you told me 10 years ago I would be approvingly reposting Bill Kristol mocking Democrats... I don't even know, I'd probably be worried I took a right wing heel turn or something.

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

Q: How many Democrats does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A: Wait, that's not our job. Is it? What leverage do we have? Whoops, weekend's in a few days—adjourned

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

I feel kind of naive about it but I really assumed that putting an obviously insane dilettante shithead and sex creep into this particular office would be a bridge too far for the Senate. In retrospect I underrated how much more important it was to them to prove that such a concept no longer exists.

BREAKING: Inspired by Elon Musk’s “Fork” emails, new HHS Director Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has sent several hundred million Americans emails offering them a buy-out opportunity to die earlier.

So JD Vance and his cronies think the US doesn't produce enough babies. And their solution is to deport immigrants and install an anti-vax maniac as head of HHS whose policies will kill thousands of kids each year? Brilliant fucking strategy.

Republicans are entirely at fault. It would've been better had none of them won their elections. But that doesn't excuse Democrats from failing to use the same parliamentary maneuvers Republicans have used for decades to hinder Democratic majorities. If we have to shame them into it, so be it.

it is just deeply deeply distressing to think that our four-year-old is possibly riding the last wave of near-universal childhood vaccination. Republicans have done nothing but pursue policies that lead to CHILDREN DYING. and the system assents to that.

Meanwhile you've got establishment dems crying to politico and axios about how the pressure campaigns are unfair because there's nothing they can do delay, obstruct, and throw sand in the gears at every opportunity and learn how to exploit social media virality sometime before 2050

Every single article about Trump being “elected” Chair of the Kennedy Center must mention in the headline that Trump fired all the Board members that wouldn’t vote for him. “Made Chair” is such weak, passive language that fails to call out what’s really going on. Our media must do better.
