What if there's ever an election, somewhere in America, in which the Democratic nominee is not JB Pritzker? There is a definite possibility that this could happen.

It's not "allowing islamophobia" to nominate a judge who had the votes to get approved. A twisted narrative has evolved, which somehow blames the whole Democratic Party for islamophobia, even though a Dem president nominated the first Muslim appeals judge, and 94% of Dem Senators supported him.
Now, many of Jay Willis' 150,000 followers are going to help fascists win elections, by refusing to vote for any Democrat, because only 94% of Democratic Senators supported Adeel Mangi. Based on a flat-out lie that those 94% made Bove a federal judge. They didn't.
People like Jay Willis eagerly jettison reason in the service of anti-Democrat fury. A Dem president nominated Mangi, and 48 of 51 Dem Senators supported him. A GOP president never would have nominated Mangi, and (presumably) all 49 GOP Senators opposed him. But somehow, this is the Dems' fault?
I'm upset that Bove just got a lifetime appointment as an appellate judge. But you're upset about which seat he got. Because that gives you an opportunity to attack Democrats, who all voted against Bove's nomination.
Here's who they were: Three Senate Dems (Cortez Masto, Rosen, and Manchin) opposed Mangi's nomination. They are the reason why Mangi is not a judge. They are NOT the reason why Bove is a judge. That's just wildly false. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
Apparently this needs to be said: You want to disrupt Trump's fascist attack, you need to use power against REPUBLICANS, not Democrats. Guess what Dems did last week (reportedly w/involvement from villain #2 Hakeem Jeffries)? Made the Speaker give up his power for a week.
More than two dozen rabbis were arrested this morning for sitting down on the floor in Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s office and praying for food aid for people in Gaza. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
I never could have predicted this would be the conclusion despite not a single Democrat voting to appoint him
"Emil Bove's confirmation was only possible because Democrats caved..." That's plainly false. And the guy who just wrote it has 150K followers here. What the hell are we doing?
It doesn't work that way. Biden appointed different judges to different seats.
Read re read and re read again
WOW. The US and Israel did not take part in the meetings. President Kamala Harris would have. Dumbasses.
I'll never understand how people just completely lose their ability to think like this. It is very reasonable to be angry at those Democratic Senators who wouldn't support Adeel Mangi, whoever they are. But it is insane to claim that this resulted in Bove becoming an appellate judge.
You're not getting this. There's not just one federal appeals court judgeship. There are, in fact, 179 of them.
That disingenuous pro-fascist piece of shit has over 150K followers. This is a fascist website.
Has it occurred to you that, if Mangi had been confirmed, Trump would have just nominated Bove for a different seat? Maybe that should have occurred to you.
Yes, obviously. Some people are just despicable pro-fascist ratfuckers who insist on attacking Democrats, instead of the people who voted to confirm Bove.
Nope — this is the fault of Uncommitted and Bernie surrogates Corny West, Brianha Joy Gray, Susan Sarandon and Nina Turner as well as 100s and 1000s of leftist scumbags like this pos
Here's a non-paywalled link to that New York Times article: archive.is/Ug4BR The New York Times helped smashed our democracy into pieces and wrecked the future of humanity. Nobody should be paying them subscription fees to read about what they did.
This game where Murkowski & Collins get a hall pass to vote against nominees they know are gonna be confirmed is so fucking tiring and insulting to our intelligence.
Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy report. It is interesting that in the full report they first noted "hanging" as cause of death, then changed it to "suicide" (hanged self)
It's not the Democrats' fault that Bove was confirmed. If they had 51 votes, they could have prevented it. But they don't.
This accusation that Dems are "doing nothing" was amplified by @heidikitrosser.bsky.social, who is a constitutional law professor, and is likely even more expert than @mjsdc.bsky.social regarding any means the Dems might use to prevent Bove from being seated. I hope she'll offer some suggestions.
This leftist, for example, told everyone to let Trump win, because the Supreme Court didn't matter. So, here we are. The Supreme Court, our Constitution, and our democracy, are all dead.
No, the way it works is, the president nominates a Supreme Court justice, and then the Senate votes to confirm that justice. If the Democrats controlled the Senate, they would have confirmed Merrick Garland. But they didn't. And a bunch of Dem-hating leftists decided to destroy SCOTUS forever.
What the hell do you want him to do, Michael?
Hey @mjsdc.bsky.social, you're a "senior writer at Slate, covering courts and the law." So maybe you know something about courts, and/or the law. How do you suggest Senate Democrats should stop Bove from being confirmed, now that the Republicans just voted to confirm him?
What do you want them to do?
Expanding the Supreme Court requires an act of Congress, and the Republicans currently control Congress. People who want the Supreme Court expanded will need to shut the fuck up with the goddamned lies about Democrats supposedly "doing nothing," and elect enough Democrats so they can do something.
Unfortunately, no.
That's false. The Democrats did not "let Mitch keep a SCOTUS seat open." Obama nominated a justice to fill that seat, but McConnell would not allow a vote to confirm the nominee.
Republicans just voted to confirm Emil Bove. Despite whistleblowers confirming he urged them to ignore court orders. Despite it being clear he lied to the Judiciary Committee. And despite the danger he poses to the rule of law. The corruption of the bench continues.
There's so much that's so wrong about Trump's "he stole her" comments on the late Virginia Giuffre. A great columnist pounces on this. @rexhuppke.bsky.social is a great columnist www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
Oh, no, that's not what this is about. Some people think that Mamdani's call for completely eliminating all police was an indicator of poor judgment. He no longer holds that position. although the platform of his party, DSA, still calls for eliminating all police, and for setting all prisoners free.
Buttigieg, embodiment of McKinsey, worked there for like 2 years right out of college at the entry level, took two long sabbaticals, and then left to get involved in small-town politics in Indiana
I’m so old I remember yesterday when people were posting “at least Harvard hasn’t caved in to the criminal president.” Those were the day.
Bernie went on Rogan a month ago. Agreed with Rogan & deferred to his pov repeatedly. Bernie is a major obvious op. When will @usprogressives.bsky.social awaken to this reality & sever ties with him? youtu.be/mYVzme2fybU?...
This is unfortunate: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/u... I wrote to the president of Harvard. I hope other faculty will speak their conscience, even if it means more struggle ahead.
BOVE NOMINATION VOTE COMING YET TONIGHT: Whip notice for the US Senate says senators will vote at 8 Eastern tonight on the nomination of former Trump lawyer Emil Bove to a lifetime appointment on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals; we will have a story at the gavel
I do kind of wonder if maybe the Trump/Epstein split was about Epstein Island as a competitor venture to whatever was previously going on at Mar-a-Lago
Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here. Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre? Trump: I think so. He stole her.
It's always the Democrats fault. 🙄
Lordy, there are tapes
What the hell is the matter with you, @nbcnews.com? It's illegal for the president to own and advertise golf courses. It's floridly, obscenely illegal. It's brazen destruction of the very foundations of democracy. Report that. Do your goddamned job.
BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it. The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning. Let's break it down. 🧵
I was proud to co-sign this statement urging the immediate delivery of food, medicine, and humanitarian aid into Gaza. This is a devastating crisis, and all who are responsible must do everything in their power to end it.
I think you probably missed the fact that DSA's platform calls for abolishing USAID (thereby killing tens of millions of innocent people), because the entire US journalism industry is fanatically devoted to advertising for DSA, and to concealing that fact that DSA is batshit crazy and dangerous.
I don’t want to say I immediately had a visceral reaction when I saw the DHS post but … yeah… I did … Right on cue with the fascism.
MAGA Congressman Randy Fine from Florida.🫣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He's eating the dogs and the cats alligators books air fryers and on & on......😂😂

Someone condemned mass shootings? On Fox News? And they didn't cut her off?
The Republicans are alphas but also live in perpetual fear of stepping foot outside. By the way, Charlie’s bio says he lives in Arizona, which has higher violent crime per capita than New York.
Here's the actual data from CCJ. Homicide rates have been declining since their pandemic highs, and they continued to fall.
These shameless people are now claiming that deportations are the cause of falling murder rates.

Dude, you're completely hysterical. You're working yourself up into a frenzied panic over a batshit crazy delusion.

LMAO. This is how almost every “agreement” with Donald Trump seems to go.

I didn't realize there was such a thing as a mobile blood bank. NYC EMS is very advanced, apparently.
Post visibility on Bluesky is very counterintuitive and poorly engineered, IMO.
The Trump administration and the Israeli government must get aid into Gaza quickly to stave off a man-made famine. And they need to stop replacing actual humanitarian organizations with literal mercenaries, something that is really happening and worsening an already dire crisis.
Pam Bondi responds to Chief Judge Boasberg's initiation of disciplinary proceedings against Emil Bove for repeatedly lying point blank to the court.
It's too late. Very smart people have spoken. His praying has already sunk his campaign.
Filthy, repulsive, lying garbage. Because generations of Democrats have devoted their lives to helping people, millions of Americans now have civil rights, health care, reproductive freedom, marriage equality, and hope. Lying pro-fascist propagandists like you are working to take all that away.
My blackpill moment was when the left said Clinton wouldn't support ending Citizens United despite her being the one who sued to block Citizens United in the first place. The case SCOTUS heard was, I shit you not, about "Hillary the movie."
I'll post a link to the beginning of Sen. Wiener's thread, because I think it's important to read it and recognize the power of his statement, in order to appreciate the ugliness of someone's hatefully dismissing it just because he's Jewish, or a Democrat, or both. bsky.app/profile/scot...
A Dem State Senator just posted a impassioned 8-post thread, amplifying the Union for Reform Judaism's rebukes of Israel, and reiterating his own condemnations of Israel's violence against Palestinians, which he has has issued since Fall 2023. Look how this piece of shit watermelon account replied.
Going back to Fall 2023, I’ve been calling for this war to end & for Israel to stop bombing Gaza, for ample humanitarian aid, for an end to displacement of Gazans & settler violence in the West Bank, in addition to all hostages being freed & Hamas rule in Gaza ending.
Powerful statement by the Reform Movement — the largest Jewish movement in North America, with 850 synagogues — demanding Israel expand food & medical relief in Gaza, end violence at aid sites & bring an end to the war & return of all hostages: 🧵
Today, I spoke at the Jews Cry Out: Let Food into Gaza Rally in New York across from the Israeli consulate. We must make it clear to our government and to the Israeli government: bring home the hostages, end the war in Gaza, and surge humanitarian assistance to the starving people of Gaza.
There were so many blackpilling moments for me during the Biden admin, but this was among them.
The Trump administration will allow federal workers to promote their religious beliefs to colleagues, display religious items at work and pray together or individually, according to a memorandum issued by the Office of Personnel Management.
Don’t know who needs to hear this today, other than a LOT of people on this app, but: being awful to someone over a completely benign expression of their religious faith because of prior traumatic experiences with unrelated people who share that faith is just plain ol’ bigotry.
I hate people like this, who spent their positions and their capital to defeat Hillary Clinton and then claimed they’re against Citizens United. Citizens United was **literally about Clinton** — and you all knew at the time that she’d never ever appoint judges who’d uphold it.
Actually heartbreaking, the list of colleagues that have run the show behind the scenes for so many years who are saying their pre-emptive goodbyes and taking literally thousands of years of amassed knowledge and expertise with them. Not to mention camaraderie and community. Morale is ... bleak.
Donald Trump’s decision to deny permission for President Lai to visit New York sends a dangerous signal: that the United States can be bullied by Beijing into silence on Taiwan. This is a victory for Xi — and let us hope it is not indicative of a dangerous change in U.S. policy.
It is an extraordinary loss of intellectual expertise that the American people invested millions in developing Every scientist who earns a graduate degree in the US is the product of an investment by the public This is like setting money on fire
“Let us not allow our grief to harden into indifference, nor our love for Israel to blind us to the cries of the vulnerable. Let us rise to the moral challenge of this moment.” rac.org/press-room/r...
They know. They don't care. Their goal is to make Democrats lose, not to make Democrats win.
People getting bent out of shape when Roy mentions prayer really don't understand that the backbone of the Democratic coalition in the South are Black voters. Those are the people who go to church. And tons of white swing voters in North Carolina are Christians. And Roy's a Sunday School teacher.
Absolutely unhinged gestapo shit. This is not only completely detached from the reality of any threats that truly exist, but using theocratic language in front of larpers pretending to be seal team 6 is fucking madness. We are off the rails.
The cloture vote on Bove was 50-48 last Thursday, all voting Dems plus Collins/Murkowski were nos. Seems quite likely he'll be confirmed this week. But since that was two whistleblowers ago, probably worth anyone with a Republican senator making one more call.
Unbelievable a Trans supporting a people that will un alive them . Our LGBTQ ancestors are upset over supporting such people.

No enforcement mechanism at all -
DHS just posted another anti-migrant propaganda video with a bible verse. This time from Proverbs. The voiceover seems to be from The Batman (2022)
I’ll pass on anyone who thinks pete buttigieg is an anti trans bigot, which is absurd
Roy Cooper is 1 of the best Democrats in the country & strongest Senate recruits. If the politics at the time were different or the change in the race came earlier there’s a strong chance he would’ve been the pick as the ticketmate for Vice President over Walz. Y’all don’t have to help Republicans.
This is a lie. Donald Trump did not have a falling out with Jeffrey Epstein over "inappropriate" behavior. That was why they were friends in the first place. They had a falling out over money--of course. They tried to outbid each other on a property they both wanted. And got mad at each other.
What’s happening at the Everglades detention camp is a scandal and a due process disaster. Basically, long story short, ICE and the immigration courts are trying to wash their hands of the people there and saying their detention is purely up to Florida. So nobody can seek bond. Read these stories.
The reaction to Roy Cooper’s announcement shows us how the Left plans to sabotage Dems for the next couple of years. Unhinged bigoted tantrums at perfectly benign language and goalpost moving.
There is no mechanism in the Constitution through which the president can accept Qatari jets, imprison people w/o due process, etc. That’s where we’re at. When you control the judiciary, the executive, and both branches of congress, you can do what you want with impunity, inc cover up child rape.
It's a lie, by the way. There is no reason to think Bill Clinton visited Epstein's island 28 times, or even one time. Nobody has ever even alleged that before. Trump just made it up, for the first time, today. And now every news outlet is repeating that lie without debunking it.
These are the type of AI republicans/trump are flooding social media -TikTok with.
Trump has launched obscene insults at Canada, instituted outrageous tariffs, and threatened to invade the US's closest ally. ICE and the Coast Guard kidnapped Canadian citizens. All this being the case, I'm surprised to see a Canadian's anger being directed primarily at the New York mayor's race.
