Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Democrats should probably start acting as if a fascist regime was sending agents of the state to arrest them without warrants for political crimes—because that’s exactly what is happening.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Republican officials have now asked us to disregard material things, sacrifice for the nation, and contemplate that death is inevitable. We have been taken over by a secret cadre of militant Buddhists.

Popok: I don’t want to live in a country where I wake up and the president and his henchmen are sending other human beings—and they are outsourcing them for cash. Paying cash to third-world countries that don’t respect our values.

“It’s pointless to try to impeach until after the midterms” First, it’s always the right time to do the right thing, and that includes advocating for upholding the Constitution. Second, getting organized to impeach now means we will be ready at the moment impeachment becomes possible. So we must.

They really are the whiniest bunch. And it’s actually diagnostically relevant, if we want to understand their political project: A movement of people who feel victimized by a society they believe owes them constant adulation and deference, whose self-pity inevitably turns to authoritarian cruelty.

You can’t support Trump and say you stand for the Constitution. Donald Trump attacks the U.S. Constitution every day. Anyone that supports Trump stands against the Constitution and against America.

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

love 2 read on blue sky dot internet about how we're idiots who deserve to fail if we ever nominate a person with a vaguely visible disability to a position of power

MAGAisms. 8647 = violent threat. “Hang Mike Pence” = patriotic tourist activity.

This times a trillion.

!! Is this true!?

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.
