The tax cuts just blow everything else out of the water, there's no budgetary/trade-off reason to cut cancer research and food stamps, they just did that because they know we don't want them to and they hate us

Schumer decided not to shut down the government which led directly to US gestapo getting ten times the money, the shredding of the constitution, and the construction of American concentration camps. In case you were one of those idiots yelling about people being mad at democrats. Primary all of them

Our ruling class is richer than any ruling class has ever been before and they're still doing this to the rest of us. It's a sickness. They're reaching levels of wealth beyond even buying power yet still acting like rabid, cornered dogs in their attempt to get even more

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Democrats held a trifecta four years ago. We could have had court reform. We all said "please give us court reform." Pelosi & Schumer killed it.

i don't think the supreme court can be salvaged in any capacity and while the fight is certain to be long and arduous, the long-term goal of anyone concerned with ensuring the preservation of our nation's values should be seeing it demolished as an institution

A story that got less attention was the incredibly cynical primary of my amazing Councilwoman—the first Muslim woman ever elected to the NYC Council—by a billionaire, corporate-backed candidate also lobbing gross accusations of antisemitism. Anyway, the challenger got trounced. Hell yea.

I think win or lose the lesson from tonight’s nyc mayoral race is that the Democratic establishment are openly contemptuous of anyone that actually believes a better world is possible, will fight tooth and nail to stop anyone who does, and must be ousted before we can even hope to fight back.

In light of Mamdani's performance, is astonishing there aren't more insurgent primary campaigns. Democratic establishment is discredited. Power is just sitting there like a mountain of gold but instead of being guarded by a fire-breathing dragon, it's fossils like Chuck Schumer

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

Andrew Cuomo was the US Secretary of Housing and is now running for mayor, where one of the largest agencies they manage is NYC's Housing Authority. And yet Cuomo literally had ChatGPT write his campaign housing policy. This is who the media and establishment want you to think is "serious"
