Politico & Third Way seem to think Slotkin is an electoral juggernaut because she managed to eke out a single-point advantage over a VP yoked to a widely-reviled administration and an improvised last-minute campaign.

No, this is the most ashamed you've felt as an American *so far*.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

Boycott every sellout that takes an NEA grant under these conditions. Any and all Riefenstahls must become pariahs in the arts community.

No one in the arts should stand for this. If you’re on an NEA panel this year, it’s time to resign. If you’ve recently been awarded a grant, you should turn it down. And you should do it as publicly as possible.

Notable that Elons crew of incels and edgelords are full fledged men for the purposes of being given the keys to car to run the govt. But for the purposes of being accountable for their actions they’re just kids from good families with youthful indiscretions.

Nobody needs to worry, yall. A self-described hillbilly and an apartheid-era white South African have determined how much racism is an ok level of racism.

removal of Musk's goons from GSA and Treasury's payment system and appointment of an independent prosecutor that Trump can't fire to investigate what happened should be the table stakes for any Dem votes on the budget or debt ceiling. Should get more than that, but that's a bare minimum.

House Democrats "need to stand united against Elon Musk” and refuse to help the GOP pass budget bills until “Musk is held accountable for his crimes,” Casar told Jezebel. “Democrats actually have a lot of power to start righting the ship.” www.jezebel.com/greg-casar-i...

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

I don't understand why members of Congress are accepting "no" from fucking rent-a-cops or whoever this bald bitch with the bandaid is. Push past. Make them call real cops. Make them arrest you. The headlines become: "Musk Arrests Legislators." Force the Constitutional crisis to become visible.

Harold Meyerson thinks that April 19 -- the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War -- would be a good day to mobilize against Trump. prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

Elon Musk has the vibe of the college super senior who surrounds himself with new freshman who don’t know he’s a creep yet each year

Urgent Sims news, y'all.

Anyone have info on the 50501 Protests today? Is there a group behind it? Or is it a viral grassroots thing? www.instagram.com/p/DFqnEzMPnel/

UPDATE: 8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.

Willing to allow Trump to ignore Congress, impound funds, and eliminate agencies - all of which is wildly illegal - to save their fire for the really serious battles.

There is absolutely nothing to consider. Do it now. Pull every lever, delay everything, cooperate in no way with anything that they want to do, however basic. This has to stop.

God fucking dammit New York, can we pick a time/place to turn out this wkd? There’s so much anger and energy out there that needs channeling whether or not it lowers the price of eggs.

Don't tell me that the billionaires running the country don't have my interests at heart. You don't know my interests. What if my interests are to eat shit and die

Rfk jr has done all the stuff that it was rumored that one kid in middle school who wore the same danzig shirt everyday did

judge agrees to hear challenge to donald trumps executive order instituting prima nocta

for the price of three months of advice from one dem consultant who absolutely sucks shit, the dnc could hire the onion's politically angriest writer for a year and crank out daily ny post-style headlines about this but oh well

an "abortion moderate" you said
