Democrats just MASSIVELY overperformed in 2 Florida special elections. House 40: Harris +35 → RaShon Young +50 (75–25). Senate 15: Harris +23 → Lavon Bracy Davis +45 (73–27). That’s 15- and 22-point swings toward Democrats.

Hmmm, this Republican Senator's speech at the National Conservatism Conference sure has a lot of similarities to the antisemitic "great replacement theory." And by similarities, I mean it is word-for-word identical. www.dailysignal.com/2025/09/02/s...
I think if I came across any of them in person, I would be in jail for the rest of my life

“If Democrats had a trace of killer instinct, Alexandrovich would be a household name… Instead, they are sleepwalking through the scandal of the summer.” Peter Rothpletz writes how Democrats are silent as Trump frees an alleged Israeli pedophile. Read more: zeteo.com/p/why-arent-...
I’m just saying that when it happens I’m jumping out of bed, running to my window, and tossing a coin to a boy to buy the biggest goose in town
Trump and the GOP are hellbent on killing our kids. Whether it’s no gun control or defunding pediatric brain cancer research/trials. Our kids deserve better than Trump and his feckless Republicans.

NEWS: ACLU pushes to revive criminal contempt proceedings against Trump officials
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Holy crap @cnbc.com @carlquintanilla.bsky.social just had to bring on TY COBB (‼️) to tell the American people about the lawless President, his attack dog DOJ, and the obsequious Cabinet of billionaires that is grifting the American people. Their anchors & producers are too cowardly to say it. 🫠🤡
New, from me: America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism. This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author...
Japan has just opened its first osmotic power plant 🌊⚡ This works by mixing fresh & salt water across a membrane, creating pressure that drives a turbine to make electricity. This site will generate 880,000 kWh a year...while helping run a desalination plant providing fresh water to the city 👏

"Honey, I don't have much time. I've been arrested by ICE and they are sending me to a detainment center. I love you and the kids, I will be OK, please call our attorney" -- John Shin, DACA resident, speaking to his wife last week. She hasn't heard from him since www.fox13now.com/news/local-n...
Thank God someone is stopping the dangerous... uh... violinists in Utah. Entered the US with proper papers at 10, later graduated with a fine arts degree from the University of Utah and stayed. Invasion! There's evidence he's been part of the vicious gang known as The Salt Lake Symphony Orchestra.
Bad ass old folks home near me with a big handmade sign outside facing the road that says: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. - Martin Luther King.”
Sending troops into US cities against their will. Strong-arming corporations and extracting gifts in exchange for tariff exemptions. Calling on state governments to gerrymander in his favor. Trump is the "big government" nightmare conservatives have always warned us about.
1) ABC/NBC should lose license or pay hefty fees because their reporting is mean to him. 2) MD should maybe lose bridge repair funds because Wes Moore was mean to him. 3) The feds should investigate Chris Christie for Bridgegate because he was mean to him.
Oh, it's simple, the Boomers got their $10k college education and their $60k home then decided to pull up the ladders and rip up the roots of the American dream by putting in charge the worst people they could find, such as Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump.
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
The inmate who spoke out against Ghislaine in the texas prison camp has been moved to serious lock up after retaliation.. THIS ONLY FURTHER PROVES THAT THE PRISONS ARE IN ON THE COVER UP..
Last year, in an address to the Society for the Rule of Law Institute (@chkbal.bsky.social), Ambassador John Bolton warned that, if elected to a second term, Trump would abuse and corrupt the Justice Department to carry out retribution. Watch. (ht: @greggnunziata.bsky.social)

I expect major movement in Texas tomorrow. No one is covering the GOP's redistricting scheme with as much context and analysis as Democracy Docket. Its team of 20 works around the clock to provide you pro-democracy news and information. Support their work by signing up today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
If facts don’t change our minds (www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...) then what’s the strategy for using Twitter? If you were more specific about it in the “Persuasion vs. the politics of hygiene” section I might be more inclined to go with you on this.

Such a shame he died today, the world would be better if that piece of shit had died decades ago.
Washington Post declares: "What’s happening in the Lone Star State is not a threat to democracy." Democracy Docket reports: "The GOP’s mid-decade redistricting plan...will weaken their overall ability to elect their preferred candidates." Support independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

"The streets of DC are overrun with dangerous criminals and also 90-year-old hippies who don't realize they're in danger and, oh, the dangerous criminals are just 'vagrants' who haven't committed any crimes, but they're all over the place here, no, OK, no not in this Shake Shack, but trust me, bro."

Hey Chris Pratt, suck 1,000 dicks pal
Over 750 HHS current and former employees are *on the record* criticizing RFK Jr in the aftermath of the CDC shooting. They call him “complicit in dismantling America’s public health infrastructure ... by repeatedly spreading inaccurate health information." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.
lol so if the bully comes knocking and you’re smaller, he’s saying you have to just bend over and accept it??

RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences? RUBIO: That's not the aim RADDATZ: The president said that was the aim
Controversial opinion: When it comes to US presidents, "blatantly breaking laws and violently violating people's rights" is a bigger deal than "is old," meriting greater public concern and a higher percentage of attention.
If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?
So if a group of men -- all of them wearing masks, with no uniforms or badges visible, driving unmarked cars -- approach anyone on the streets of DC, they're just supposed to submit?
Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?
Loomer is killing children now. Just a blood-gargling psychopath.
The DOJ sandwich thrower as it turns out is a much decorated active duty staff Sergeant in the Marines. He identified himself immediately and offered to self surrender to the felony charge, but they sent 20 officers to arrest him. What a debacle it would be if the grand jury declines to indict.
It’s time to stop framing it as anything else. It’s not “the other side of the debate” offering good faith, legitimate points. It’s a political project of America’s destruction.
The American political right is plainly authoritarian, openly racist and bigoted, and entirely hostile to science and education. It’s a toxic mix and nothing but a detriment to the country.
👏👏👏👏🎯🎯🎯🎯 Well said Ryan
The American press and public really need to figure out how to simply dismiss Trump's pretextual claims for authoritarian attacks and then resist the attack itself, not debate the claim. We have spent months asking "but is the Ivy League really antisemitic?" and now "but is DC really crime-ridden?"
Trump is a liar doing what authoritarians do. There should be zero discussion of his purported reasons for doing it. The only story is that Trump is attacking the liberties of Americans.
The adamant elite refusal to call bullshit is a big part of How We Got Here. The prevailing cultural attitude for years is you must not, under any circumstances, treat anything as bad faith. You are obligated to find some reasonable idea and engage with that, even if you distort to get there.
there's "charitable interpretation" and there's "being a mark" and the inability or refusal to distinguish between the two is practically a credential in some circles
If you’re not making soft pretzels with queso on the reg I don’t even know if we can be friends
This guy's a vet and a lawyer who threw a sandwich and offered to turn himself in, so they sent a paramilitary platoon with a camera crew. They have FBI and U.S. Marshal badges; apparently those agencies do no real work beyond camera stunts, harassing minorities, and filling concentration camps.
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…
The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend. This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending. Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared
People forget Einstein was a great political thinker too
Why
The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.
As your member of Congress, I’ll use the House’s investigative powers to question Pete Hegseth to his face about whether he wants to repeal the 19th Amendment because the American people deserve a sworn response even though we already know his answer. Katforillinois.com
A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military. And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.
there are so many open layups and somehow dems can’t make them. republicans are literally pulling cancer treatment from children and they can’t message on that??? like what the fuck are we doing here
True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing. Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter. Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵 x.com/andrewcuomo/...
He LOST. YOU win. (You knew he wanted YOU to pay his lawyers and his legal bills, right?)

And the thing is, they're not lying! They really are selfish, corrupt scumbags and they really do think that *everyone* is a selfish, corrupt scumbag at heart. This is why they're obsessed with "virtue signaling" -- they don't believe real virtue exists.
This is the core proposition & selling point for reactionary thought: not that they are better, but simply that *everyone* is corrupt, everyone is a crook, everyone's just out for themselves, so you might as well get yours. That is the molten core of right-wing thought everywhere.
