James: His critics said that he should wait his turn. His critics said that he did not have the experience. His critics said they did not have the right name. Well, now all of them know his god damn name.

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

"We have to pull back on palestine support" "we have to pull back on trans rights" "Dems should be more centrist" EAT HOT ASPHALT YOU FUCKING LOSERS!!!

The bees from My Girl have endorsed Cuomo

We live in a rogue and dangerous country. Do what you need to do to maintain your internal peace. Hold the core of your spirit. Pray for peace. Commit yourself to justice. And just rest.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

I’m just imagining a bunch of incels holding tiki torches walking around aimlessly not knowing which of their petty-ass bitch heroes to side with.

so the members of congress just stopped going to el salvador and not a single person who was illegally sent there has been returned and that’s just how it is now?

“chicago pope” is one of the shows jack donaghy greenlit when he was tanking nbc

He's scared.

Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Wow. China just called out the Trump administration for blatantly lying about the existence of any ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and China.

This is some ghoulish shit from a man that escaped his debts by filing for bankruptcy multiple times.

Going after lower income folks with debt in order to pay for tax cuts for millionaires apnews.com/article/stud... Student loans in default to be referred to debt collection, Education Department says

@MSNBC every time you report on what an elected official (in this case, Rick Scott) says after a mass murder, you should report on how many times they've voted against gun legislation regulation.

A vote for Cuomo is a vote for Tr*mp. It's really simple.

Hitting play on Organized Crime at 8am to watch Benson and Stabler because EO forever babi

They spent the last four years telling us people who invaded the capital and beat police officers with flagpoles were unjustly persecuted civil rights heroes and now it’s taken about 45 minutes for them to be like “yeah if you write an op-ed you’re going to the blacksite that’s just common sense”

why they returned so fast

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

MAGA be like "he has a plan, he's playing chess not checkers" and the whole time he's literally just playing golf.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

people being in the streets means something. never let your cynicism convince you otherwise.

Measles and tariffs, what century is this?

This!!

This jibes with contemporary reporting that the raids hit several residential buildings, in each case killing about 15 people and wounding more. Maybe a little more of the conversation should be about how cavalier we apparently are about bombing civilian homes? www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/...

🎯 Evasion of accountability! That’s exactly why they are utilizing 3rd party software!

Whether or not you think this is dumb is beside the point. It's true. This is definitely happening to young men, along with other weird forms of radicalization. Y'all gotta listen to Rogan and all his weird spinoffs, at least to understand this is happening.

So we’ve got two competing schools of what the Democratic Party should do next. One of them is hosting the largest political rallies in history in places like New Hampshire and Arizona, and the other one just got $120 million from Silicon Valley and is on a book tour.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Good job on the headline, Sludge. readsludge.com/2025/03/14/s...

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451

"Privately, House Democrats are so infuriated with Schumer’s decision that some have begun encouraging [AOC] to run against Schumer in a primary."

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
