Opinion | It's time to end DEI. No one should have a career based on their skin color. by Kid Rock

Maybe the CPC shouldn't have spent the last decade cozying up to Trump. Just maybe.

this is a straightforward delusion

Elon Says He’s ‘Never Done Anything Harmful.’ Americans Disagree www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

SCOOP: Before the IRS fired nearly 7,000 probationary employees, a senior lawyer raised the alarm that: - the terminations contained "false" information - they amounted to a "fraud" on the US judicial system Don't miss this @propublica.org exclusive: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

It’s so funny how these dipshits are against things like asylum until they make up some sense of victimhood and all of the sudden they’re begging for protection under international law.

One thing that may spell doom for Schumer is elite opinion. His appearance on The View was rough and he was worse on Chris Hayes. If D senators can’t socialize with the elite without being embarrassed by Schumer, they may be more likely to turn on him.

The list actions we’ll need to take to restore democracy is long, but it should include a law reining in the rights of controlling shareholders so states don’t engage in a race to the bottom to appease them.

Cannot stress that Caucus *wanted* and *liked* Schumer's leadership style, but it's extremely ill suited for the moment

That's a weird thing for the president of El Salvador to post

Honestly wasn’t prepared for how lost and out of his depth Chuck Schumer is this interview. Doesn’t seem like he’s absorbed any new information since 2007. I don’t know who Senate Democrats’ best option is, but hard for me to imagine it’s this.

I did a town hall tonight and my constituents were clear, they expect me and democrats to do our job, to do more, to stand up to Musk and that means caring more about protecting social security, medicaid and immigrants than decorum!

The most concerning thing about the Schumer situation is that even as he torches his credibility further with each media appearance, no Senate Ds have spoken out against him. I don’t know if some are grumbling in silence or waiting for their moment, or if they all like Schumer and want him to stay.

I say this as one of the universe's greatest lovers of judicial review: this is a facile, pathetic way of thinking about what democracy is

Even if he hadn’t bungled the CR, Schumer’s clear failure to recognize how bad things already are would be disqualifying. Time to chuck Chuck.

I agree with @aoc.bsky.social that Dems should use the filibuster when needed against catastrophic bills like that continuing resolution. Mitch McConnell filibustered a CR in 2021 until Democrats accepted “reality,” as he called it, and agreed to his terms. www.playtyperguy.com/p/kyrsten-si...

Schumer is on w @chrislhayes.bsky.social & he is showing that he doesn’t understand politics outside of electoral politics. He really thinks that if there was a shutdown there there would be no political pressure that would force the Republicans to relent.

No longer subscribing to anything I can’t cancel online. Been on hold with ADT - which does not allow online cancellation - for an eternity. Presumably this is to frustrate customers into giving up and continuing to pay.

Trump's fascination with Polk is ominous -- and also not all that surprising for a guy who has spent his life measuring his own self-worth by how much real estate he can acquire. www.wsj.com/politics/the...

I appreciate a lot of this, but I wish federal officials who have not been legally terminated would say so and then remain in their posts, rather than executing this shift to the past tense.

INCREDIBLE Ruling! Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus. Trans military members may continue to serve.

Just believe whatever the supervillains say, never fight, always run away. The Schumer Doctrine.

Plainly illegal, absolute insanity, and crazy dangerous economically to even attempt this www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The country's fate hinges on the fight, which is why the dipshit general who keeps fleeing and hiding instead of fighting even an active retreat needs to be replaced!

the most servile people imaginable. completely unsuited for democratic citizenship. they would be better off under a despot.

because no one else will pay for it

This is the attitude I want our next leader to have toward the Republican Party.

I want a leader who wants to smash Republicans as much as we do. And that’s “all Republicans.”

rfk jr's attitude toward anyone or thing that gets sick is "if he dies, he dies."

It's funny how they say they're "not backing down" while lying on their backs with their bellies up to Trump.

mRNA vaccines are legit a near-miracle tech, there's one in testing that might be able to cure pancreatic cancer, and this fucking degenerate might take them from us arstechnica.com/health/2025/...
