This picture of Whitmer is a legitimately stunningly perfect depiction of the Democratic Party right now. A bunch of fucking cowards capitulating and complying. Secretly totally on board with fascism while hiding behind their labels and “lesser of two evils you have no choice but to vote for me”.

I ran for Congress in 2018 because I felt an obligation to do everything I could to serve the state and country I love. Now, I’m running for governor because I know I can do more to defend New Jersey values and make life easier and more affordable.

And parental leave. And a child tax credit. Oh well, I guess we’ll have to settle for bailing out crypto bros, new Jim Crow, and a depression. It was a tough choice though. Sure, he was a felon, but she was a highly qualified Black woman.

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

Senate Democrats should commit to reading every single one of the 381 books that Hegseth banned from the Naval Academy into the public record on the Senate floor.

It's amazing that 4 congressional Dems voted to make it illegal for married women to vote, and the rest of the Dems didn't respond "ok yeah you are not allowed to call yourself a Democrat anymore, we're not going to help fundraise for you, just go fuck yourself"

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

Murphy: When you see the 10-year bond exploding… when you see markets moving like a sine curve—that’s the opposite of stability. A strong dollar is in our national interest. What we’re seeing now is the opposite of that.

“A future Trump impeachment seemed all but guaranteed by last Wednesday morning. It seems only slightly less likely now. It may even be desirable to restore America’s standing with creditors and trade partners.” Wow the woke media outlet of (checks notes) The Wall Street Journal??

Patrick Schwarzenegger is what Terminators were supposed to be. Like if that was real, he’d have been a Terminator model that speaks like a douchey Californian, you know. I hope that freaked out more people than just me while watching White Lotus.

Seeing a lot of posts about Andrew Cuomo. Did he harass and assault women? Yes. Did he help keep Republicans in power in NY and give them seats to control the House now? Yes. BUT, would he have good policies that help NYC? Absolutely not.

Kirkland & Ellis, Allen Overy Shearman Sterling, Simpson Thatcher, and Latham & Watkins should be viewed as administration shills now. It would be a mistake to engage them in any matter in which your interests and positions are not congruent with this administration’s.

Trump has amassed over a billion dollars in collective pro bono hours pledged by big law firms. As DOJ faces an exodus of talent and lawyers, he's going to force these firms to argue on behalf of the US in favor of horrifying fascist policies as part of their pro bono requirements.

watching kirsten gillibrand refuse to condemn andrew fucking cuomo, muttering about how "the voters should decide," it feels all too correct when donegan describes today's mainstream "liberalism" as a movement "too afraid to be unpopular."

It just can't be stressed enough how BAD you have to be as a businessman to go bankrupt running a casino. But Trump did it SIX TIMES. So it's no wonder he has no idea what all these consequences mean. He's obsessed with "being tough" which is like a 5-year-old's understanding of the world.

Federal spending is up under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Your reminder that every Republican who voted for the budget bill voted to cut Medicaid or Medicare by the amount they voted for ($880 billion). All “other” is $581 billion. Saying the bill didn’t say “Medicaid” is a complete misrepresentation of their vote, also known as a lie.

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.
