Why is the Democrats merch store so aggressively mid? Would be an easy win to at least sell crap that looks cool.

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

"Trump will fix it"

Still waiting on the DNC mascot change. Literally the lowest possible effort rebranding. I'm never going to stop talking about what would be such an obviously easy win.

Won't be today or tomorrow, but no doubt after the last two weeks I'm going to protest the funeral

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts. See how it works?

Make sure to buy your pitchforks before this kicks in

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

So you're telling me the convicted felon in office isn't following the law?!?!

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

This entire project is *very expliclty* about fully purging black people and women from huge swaths of public life, employment and education. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Why is TPUSA still allowed on college campuses at this point? The organization is led by a guy who explicitly said the Civil Rights Act was a mistake, it really doesn't get any more bigoted than that.

We're barely a day in, and it's already pretty clear that people are going to blame the tech oligarchs if things go bad (which they will, let's be real).

They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, but he likes crypto so he gets a pardon.

Whoever is next should have YG at their inauguration

If humanity is still around, "Trump spread lies while LA burned" might still be a thing in 3025.

So we're not even 24 hours in and Trump is already the worst president ever again, based only on the merits of the current term. This guy is like some kind of evil-deed-speedrunner.

I think coffeezilla is low-key becoming a major independent journalist, and he's going to be an important voice during the kleptocracy to come.

In fairness the resulting fire and explosion might have set off the sprinklers.

There's going to be a lot of Marcus Crassus jokes if this goes bad for Elon

So I guess we're invading Panama now

watched Knives Out and Glass Onion over the last couple days and my reviews are as follows Knives Out: very good Glass Onion: very very good

So MAGA are just now figuring out Trump isn't even really a conservative, and he only cares about his own power and money. Took long enough.

We were robbed of having an actual President and many chose a criminal piece of shit instead of her. It’ll continue breaking my heart for a long time.

Is Bannon America's Rasputin? 🤔

Maybe a little old but the themes of Hitman World of Assassination somehow resonate substantially more today than when the trilogy first came out (which was only 2021).

Penn must be really happy. For the longest time they didn't have a single alumni president, now they have two.

As a father of a daughter who had a full liver transplant and is a Stage 4 cancer survivor, F these ghouls to the lowest depths of hell.

Imagine telling someone in 2014 that Elon Musk shut down the government

We worked hard on this problem, and all we got is this nice paper. Now in the "new" online journal (CGT). Joint work with @eliotdexter.bsky.social. www.cgt-journal.org/index.php/cg...

We're not even at the inauguration yet and the clown car can't govern...

The Donald Trump presidential library is really going to be something

The Trump crowd wants to kill FDIC, install tariffs *and* bring back polio? I guess all this time the magical past of American Greatness they’ve been aiming for has been the banner year of 1930. Can’t wait for the soup lines! Wheee!

People always joke about politicians playing 4D chess, but I think it would be a serious statement if any politician actually got good at 5D chess (the game on steam). You'd always have a clever retort whenever anyone uses that phrase.

Still weird seeing people claim Dems are the party of the elite. They cater to special interests too much, but nobody is beating the party run by a billionaire candidate who campaigned with the world's richest man. Rs market themselves this way *on purpose*.

Seems like someone way back when didn't get the best people 🤔

“Trump lied about an election being stolen and then sicked a mob on the Capitol. It's funny that you roll your eyes at this, Kevin, because you're the one who went down and resurrected him...We elected the most dangerous....human being that America has ever elected. And Kevin, you helped him."

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is *why* we’re in this position right now. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.

I haven't kept up with this story too closely but based on the discourse it looks like Luigi Mangione is the next Tetsuya Yamagami
