I stopped following the news for the last 2 months. After checking in today, I’m not surprised that I haven’t missed anything. It’s basically the same bullshit over and over again. Capitalism slowly eating itself while a decrepit old man cosplays as the President. Just a world of idiocy.
He should have never been in a position where people could have voted for him for office. It is the president’s job to protect democracy. Jan. 6 made it clear that Trump is a threat to democracy and the Biden administration thought the solution was to ignore it and hope it goes away. Total failure.
The greatest failure in the history of American law was not prosecuting Trump the minute he left office for what happened on Jan. 6th. Biden owns this failure, too. He was a complete fool to think Trump would just go away
I just said it was interesting. I didn’t say I had sources or anything. This whole MAGA revolt thing makes zero sense. Those people are brainwashed. They don’t question dear leader… until people like Benny Johnson and Mike Flynn start questioning him. It just smells fishy to me
Putin’s economy is collapsing. He’s running out of time to wrap things up in Ukraine and he knows exactly how easy it is to apply pressure to Trump.
All the Kremlin-linked influencers building this up. The timing is interesting isn’t it?
Natural selection at work, folks
Fuck this piece of shit hype salesman and his job-killing search engine 2.0 product that makes everything sound exactly as a hollow and soulless as a Silicon Valley billionaire.
Seriously fuck off
I loathe Joe Rogan, but we need to encourage rebellion within the ranks of the Trump cult. Anything that will motivate people to question the ICE raids will help the victims. I’m not saying he shouldn’t be held accountable, but let’s use every tool we have
“Fuck your state!”
Always about owning the libs. Never about the concentration camp for brown people that she’s financing with our taxes. Just own the libs.
Now every journalist there should walk out in protest. Every one of them. Let’s see how many have courage beyond strongly worded letters
How many BarroBucks does one BariBuck get you these days?
“Oh, Did I mention how many times I’ve claimed bankruptcy in my life?”
Strike the banjos
Senator, I really appreciate your call to action here. If we see even one Democrat vote to leave it in, then we are truly lost as a political party.
See Hakeem Jeffries on CBS this morning. Absolutely shameful.
GOP voted to proceed on a bill that is wildly unpopular across all segments of America out of fear of a president with a losing record when backing a primary challenger. The only thing crazier than that reality is that Thomas Massie and Rand Paul are the ones that have figured this out.
Hahaha Ron Johnson is such a coward. How do Capitol reporters take him seriously? Why would you ever report that he’s going against Trump on anything?
Trump just basically described Netanyahu’s con. If he’s constantly at war, he doesn’t have time to sit in court.
Look, we’re democrats. We’re not like Republicans, who just vote for whoever Trump says to vote for like sheep. We demand more from our leaders. I’m not going to stop asking democrats to fight. You need voters to be angry and you also need them to be excited to vote. Right now, it’s just anger.
I should “fix my algorithm.” Wow.
Oh, okay. So I should just shut up, right?
He doesn’t know anyone. Stop taking this seriously. It’s the same bullshit scam he’s been running his whole career in politics. What’s his record when he gets behind a wacko primary challenger? Remember Doug Jones? Why are they afraid of this clown?
Okay. Serious question here because I sincerely want some insight. Do you work with the DNC? Are you seeing something that I’m not? I’m seeing Dems with no unified mission or call to action. I’m seeing the same email and text campaigns from 8 years ago. What is happening that’s different?
“Any dem who goes on TV to spew about Zohran is getting primaried. If you have concerns, call him and talk. Stop tweeting and shut the fuck up.” <- letter that Ken Martin should have sent the day after the election
I’m sure Ken Martin will find the least exciting person in Alaska to run.
Always a fucking tax cut. It’s the one idea they have and the only one they understand. Let’s see how many of my friends I can spare from chipping in.
She waited to push the timeline so that the bill gets voted on in the middle of the night. Nobody is changing their vote. They’re cowards.
Gillibrand went on a 2-day streak of bullshit and was never shut down. Eric Adams is a front line issue for the national election. ICE is operating in New York. Don’t give me the protocol BS. When you’re the minority party and you have a young candidate making headlines, the DNC should step up
@kenmartin.bsky.social Why are you not shutting down the circular firing squad that half of the party created around Zohran?? Why are you letting this happen? You have enthusiasm behind a candidate and you’re squandering it. WAKE THE FUCK UP, KEN!!!
And where the fuck is Ken Martin shutting all this down? Nowhere. He’s a crybaby who spent all his energy fighting with David Hogg. Fire his ass and call up Ben Wikler!!
They’re stalling so that after the bill is read and Dems get 10 hours of debate, they get to vote on it in the middle of the night when nobody is paying attention
I’ve been saying this for years. Thiel is a psychopath who is afraid of dying and will destroy humanity on his way out the door. People focus so much on Trump, but Thiel, Yarvin and the whole tech right are a significant threat to the entire world.
He looks like a movie villain.
Because he’s not a lunatic. I give him more credit than most for standing against the tide. He passed up millions in right wing money to keep his integrity and that should be applauded
Why did he give up so easily?? Sometimes, you have to realize that the fight is more important than the outcome. He just normalized this by giving in
Wall Street, with fingers in ears: La La La La La duh da!!
I’m just sitting here and wondering… at what point do we need to negotiate a separation of the liberal and conservative democracies within the United States? This isn’t a united nation and at this point, it never will be. At what point do the parents get divorced, so to speak? This isn’t working.
This outrageous decision on birthright citizenship (even limited as it is) sets a horrible precedent. The next Dem President should be formulating Exec Orders addressing gun sales, abortion rights and my own fave “corporate personhood,”… @meidastouch.com @muellershewrote.com @tribelaw.bsky.social
That’s not true in Montgomery County, where I live and where this case originated. Our schools have committed to this curriculum, regardless of the ruling. Next steps are now figuring out where to put the religious kids during story time. Who supervises them? Red states already ban this stuff
Start using this ruling to your advantage on gun control and student loan forgiveness, Senator.
Sexuality isn’t a religion. If it were, the same rules would apply to heterosexuality. Let’s ban that, too. Right?
If so, it is time to start crafting some cool-ass laws. What a time to be a state legislator or an AG in a blue state. The Supreme Court just said you no longer have a boss. It's the last day of school, Democratic state majorities and AGs! Time to abuse some power.
Can you imagine how teachers now have to explain to their students why some of their classmates have to leave during story time? Also, can all subjects now be considered violations of religious beliefs? The conservative court never thinks of the broader picture
Exactly. And be public about their intent to do so!
Every Democratic politician needs to say this, publicly, right now: When we take back power, we will take full advantage of today’s Supreme Court ruling to move our agenda forward on matters like Student Loan Relief, reproductive rights, and gun control laws
Student loan debt forgiveness, check
Ban on firearms, check
Every lawyer in line to advise potential Democratic presidential candidates is drafting right now a host of policies that could be implemented without fear of nationwide injunctions slowing them down.
I think we have to be prepared for the horrors that will be uncovered when the Netanyahu regime is dismantled. I don’t think we truly understand the scope of this genocide.
Pretty soon, all that’s going to be left is the font choice for the bill. I hope Comic Sans doesn’t violate the Byrd Rule
Having to choose one brown person over another must be traumatizing for WSJ.
Must… own…. libs…. Must… buy… Trump… memecoin… War… is now… good….
This is exactly what Obama did 10 years ago. He tears up that agreement and then steals ideas from it so he can take credit for a black man’s achievements. That’s peak Trump.
Trump’s entire motivation for everything he does is to prove that a white man is a better president than Barack Obama. That’s at the core of his being. He just wants the New York Times to say that he’s better than Obama. If they printed that, I bet you he would get bored and resign.
Now it’s “say what the law is according to John Roberts’ Sunday lobbyist poker club.”
I can still hear Sarah Palin saying “Death Panels” in her fake, over-the-top Alaskan accent
MAGA is always just top-tier corny.
There’s an awful sinus infection going around right now. It’s not COVID, but it makes you feel like you it - groggy, slight fever. I got over it in a day, but my neighbor has had it for a week despite antibiotics. Be careful out there!
It’s the ultimate con - Tell white billionaires that they should rule the world and guess what??? They’ll pay you to keep saying it to them, over and over again!! Wow!!
A psychologist once told me that MAGA shares one thing in common - at least one abusive parent. They then pass that abuse onto others. In the case of TV pundits, the public becomes the victim
He was paid to do this. Instead of panicking about city owned grocery stores, every journalist should be working out who is paying Cuomo and how he’s getting paid
Citizens United solidified the billionaires’ grasp on the Republican Party. Banning Corporate PACs is the way Congress can fix this mistake without overturning the SC decision
It’s not important to get it right, it’s important that we meet Donald Trump’s completely random deadline. And you wonder why voters loathe Congress
He’s being paid to stay in the race. It’s all about money.
He’s always been afraid of Iran because they want to assassinate him.
Let’s not use Jake Sherman as an example of “informed.” He’s a paid conduit from congress to lobbyists.
The ultra wealthy can feel the wave coming. They know that Zohran is just the first of many who are going to campaign on “tax the rich.” It’s coming.
It’s a good thing Capitol Police are there to protect her, am I right?
This is literally the Obama vs. Clinton primary all over again. The only difference is that right wingers cheered on Obama because they hate Hillary and thought there was no way a black man would win a general election.
"Historians will be working around the clock trying to understand how the Republican Party, in a few short years, got to the point where their loyalty is to one person and not the constitution."
These are the least useful, least intelligent human beings on the planet.
Must…. Support…. Leader…. Even as he…. Leads us…. Into doom….
Can you imagine what this man would be like without amphetamines?
Translation: The least valuable human beings on the planet are scared that others may soon be able to afford living in the same neighborhood and going to the same restaurants
I don’t recall Emil ever winning a case. Do you?
Nate Silver has opinions, guys.
Translation: I’m a scared, bitter old man and I’m going to live forever…. right?
First off, I’m 44. I lead a team of 20-30 year olds who all started out inexperienced and ended up exceeding my abilities in many ways because I made it okay for them to share risky ideas in exchange for mentorship. This is leadership 101. You have to come to terms with who Zohran is and why he won
I attended news industry conferences in the early 2000s and a lot of smart people predicted that this would happen. If you turn on a fire hose of free info in exchange for selling reader data to advertisers, the tech industry is going to eventually find a way to cut out the info middleman
I’m not saying that experience isn’t important! I’m saying that if you’re worried about the experience, engage with the campaign and offer your experience!!! That’s all!! By posting this, you sound like my grandfather whenever he was offered a meal that was even the slightest bit spicy. Try it!!!
Stop. This is more of the “young people aren’t competent enough” sentiment that bleeds young voters. Competency does not equal experience. Instead of forecasting his struggles, why don’t you engage with his campaign? Share your ideas. Be a part of it, not just a critic.
When you’re more influential with the voters than a former president and a revered member of the congressional old guard
My hot take about Zohran is that people want authentic candidates who seem like they give a shit about improving their lives. Ideology aside, people are willing to take risks—they just want somebody they think is going to fight for them in a world where very few are. That's why he's winning.
NY Democratic machine genuinely befuddled after the charismatic, talented person with good ideas defeated the sex pest fuck-up with name recognition
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.
People don’t like billionaires. Period. This isn’t democrats vs. republicans anymore. This is a few dozen asshole white billionaires vs. everyone else.
Both. Zohran’s a real person. He wants the job, not the “status.”
Cuomo x1000
Nice waste of money, Mike Bloomberg, you dick
Fuck the New York Times. This was a big fuck you to them, too
Fuck Andrew Cuomo Fuck centrist billionaire democrats Fuck “Joe Rogan of the Left” Fuck the GENIUS Act and everyone who voted for it. Fuck strongly worded letters Fuck “experienced” Fuck bipartisanship We want REAL leaders.
If she can do live reporting from a bus speeding off the edge of a cliff, I’m all for it
The Obama-to-Trump voter is a myth. They don’t exist. It’s a Trump voter’s way of signaling “I’m not racist.” They are racist. The truth is, they probably didn’t vote in 2008 and 2012. Trump wins because Obama voters aren’t turning out to vote and Gen-Z men are cosplaying Nazis.
They’re all so fucking corny
He’s got that same “my face is rotting off” look as RFK Jr.
