Independent who increasingly leans Democrat in light of the dumpster fire that the GOP has become. Here to knock some sense into those who remain divorced from reality.

Appreciate you! Fighting the good fight
If you live in California, or know literally anyone who does, tell them to vote in favor of Newsom’s redistricting plan! It’s necessary to balance out what Texas and other GOP states are doing.
Congratulations on the win and thank you for your work. Keep it up
+10 is wild lol. Insider Advantage, Traf, et al. have really been trying hard to keep aggregates from looking too bad for Trump.
Now there’s a game I never expected to see ever again
Oh ho. Someone left the editor note in here.
Echelon is run by a GOP pollster and political strategist, for anyone wondering.
Lol. Can’t keep their own made-up numbers straight.
Have you asked her who the administrator of DOGE is, though?
An assessment ordered by Ratcliffe. Just another Trump crony trying to recreate a narrative to benefit his dear leader.
Yep. Just another Republican opportunist. Sticks his finger in the air to try to see where the wind is blowing and adjusts accordingly.
Trickle-down economics has shown time and time again to be completely bunk economics. It flat out just does not work. Never has.
Waiting on these clowns to fold. Obviously, we don’t want the bill to pass, but if it does, they will rightfully never hear the end of it.
I like Walz — great guy — but I don’t think he’d be a great presidential candidate. Newsom was being an idiot but has stepped up again and shown he has the fight needed.
Oh it puts masked assailants who refuse to ID themselves in danger? Oh no. What will we do? How tragic.
Yep. One of several right-wing influencers.
More good advice from @jesscraven101.bsky.social here. The whole rep office uses the same call tracking system, and junior staff or interns in the district offices can take down your input too. Just be sure they know you’re a constituent, ask who you’re talking to, and (politely) request a response.
That’s exactly what a little bitch would say. Van Orden loves to lean on his military background to feign the tough guy. Guy’s a chump
💯 I don’t trust a word out of these guys. The most untrustworthy admin I have ever experienced.
I’ll be donating to your campaign and encourage others to do so as well. We need Ossoff to stick around. He’s sharp, and Dems need all the votes they can get
Lol Jake Tapper. He’s still a clown. Always will be
Yup — actual, literal torture. And our admin knowingly sent him there
Exactly my thought. Technically, just a few months fits within that very broad window. Those are weasely words
Appreciate you. There is always room in the Democratic party for folks who disagree with how horrific the GOP has become for all Americans.
Maine: MOBILIZE next year. VOTE. People cannot stay home
Maine, we’re counting on you. Get everyone out to vote. Mobilization needs to be huge.
“Bad people on the left and the right.” Ah, there’s the both sidesim. Here I was ready to be sympathetic, but fuck her, she deserves this
I am actually, genuinely amazed at the sheer amount of people who convinced themselves into trusting that this guy was everything he repeatedly indicated he was not.
How many might actually balk now that they’ve been dropped, though? The House vote ultimately showed that even the most right-wing conservatives lack a spine
This is your brain on Twitter
Nah. Disagree. This unwillingness to take the gloves off is what consistently gets Dems into the spot they’re now in. Fox, like any of these outlets that just continually peddles lies, deserves to be held to account.
Without figuring out the provider tax issue, or SALT, or IRA credits? Or having CBO score the bill? Yeah, I dunno Jan…
Women should move out of any red states and to blue states that will actually provide them care. Make no mistake: Republican governments will have no qualms about leaving you to suffer
Newsom continuing to redeem his image. He had a bad turn for a while there, but he’s back at it.
Pretty cynical, but okay
The “thank you for your attention to this matter” bit always gets me. What a bizarre sign off
When Republican voters learn how much the "Big Beautiful Bill" redistributes from poor to rich, they become much less likely to want to re-elect their incumbent senators...
Again, exporting countries do not pay tariffs. We, in the U.S., pay them. That’s how they work.
Sorry, but no. We shouldn’t be giving media orgs license to lie and say that it’s defensible under free speech. That’s asinine.
I don’t see why not. It definitely reads that way. I would encourage you to
Lmao this actually fucks over a bunch of Republican incels in Texas. Kinda hilarious
Time for people to start challenging any religious bullshit in classrooms under this, then. Or any Republican-pushed nonsense, really. Just say it violates your religious beliefs and, poof, bye bye.
Time for Dems in states like your own, senator, to pursue a bunch of new laws that can’t be subject to nationwide injunctions. If the Supreme Court wants to hand down outrageous opinions, use them to your advantage.
Fund it. If this court is going to do stupid shit like this, Dems should absolutely abuse the hell out of it to benefit themselves.
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.
Don’t be stupid. These kinds of comments, in addition to being asinine, aren’t helpful.
Better move to a Dem-controlled state if you want to actually be considered a citizen and have your rights protected. You’re not safe in Texas et al.!
Want to actually have your constitutional rights? Time to move to a Dem state then, because a red state sure as shit won’t protect you
LOL. Extremely rich coming from this guy
Maybe if ICE actually identified themselves? Not unreasonable to expect people to defend themselves against someone who is concealing their identity. Anyone can make themselves look like an ICE agent — kidnappers, rapists, etc. included
I legitimately don’t believe anything he says. Why would he try to cast it any other way than to make the WH look good?
Yeah, nah. Supposing that voters in districts beyond NYC will penalize more centrist Democratic candidates for NYC electing Mamdani is an incredible reach. Was this Jake Sherman’s idea?
Without a doubt
“Serial liar says thing.”
lmao
After all the health care provisions that just got nixed by the Parliamentarian, losing many billions in “savings”? Yeah, we’ll see.
That’s an answer in and of itself. And the answer is, yes, Iran moved material out before the strikes
Thank you DEMOCRATS for fighting to remove harmful health care provisions
When folks ask what Democratic lawmakers are doing. THIS is what they’re doing: fighting to have harmful health care provisions removed from this bill
Huge. And big props to DEMOCRATS and their staff for fighting to have these provisions removed. This is what Democratic senators are doing.
Oh shut the fuck up. NYT is absolutely beside itself that Mamdani won, and you guys keep stooping lower and lower to cast him in a bad light. Even Lander (the highest ranking NYC gov Jew who cross-endorsed Mamdani) has been critical of Israel’s conduct.
This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.
Love Ossoff. He is really good at questioning admin officials. Georgia, do us proud next year. @ossoff.bsky.social @ossoff.senate.gov Props!
So he’s proposing going back to something that congressional Republicans excoriated the Obama and Biden admins for: easing Iranian oil sanctions. Funny. It’s almost like Dem presidents know what they’re doing and Repubs are fucking idiots.
Your daily reminder that, no matter how much they try to lie about them, Republicans’ medicaid cuts in their budget bill will absolutely cause hospitals to close and people to lose insurance and die.
Oh yes, Powell: famously deferential to Warren. Lmao. Powell and Warren have been at odds for years. Performative lying
💯 We need engaging candidates who speak to the particulars of their specific electorates. Mamdani did that well.
Agreed.
He’s also not an uninspiring crook. Continue to push the same old, same old at the DNC’s peril. People want change and new voices.
Take note. Why do you think Mamdani won? He spoke to the people on the biggest issues they care about (cost of living). He got out there and in the trenches with the community. He was engaging and used social media. He’s a young, well-spoken candidate — not a geriatric, establishment figure.
You’re a good dude, Lander. Please run for other office. We need more folks like you
Groan. God, you’re pathetic. Stop screeching antisemitism at everything and learn why Mamdani actually came out ahead. You earned this unfollow, you tool.
K. The NYT went hard against Mamdani. No one cares what they’re pushing.
Wishcasting. Admin knows they’re losing on this and so planting “tips” that a deal is forthcoming.
“White House says.” You know we don’t much trust anything the WH says now, right? I’m going to trust our IC over what the WH wants the optics to be
“Alleged” “alleged” “alleged” And yet, she completely acknowledges the assessment is real. If it weren’t she wouldn’t feel the need to dispute its conclusion so vociferously. She’d just say “there is no such assessment”
Mitch McConnell has a net worth of up to $52 million, and has had high quality government-financed healthcare for decades. Losing your healthcare, losing your loved ones, losing your life, isn’t something people should be told “get over it.”
Damn. Nice work by Veasey here
Literally the biggest pain points, too. And they are still trying to ram this through by week’s end
I love the repeated use of the word “alleged” while fully acknowledging that it’s real, including by saying the WH “disagrees” with it
Oh shit. Here we go. Buckle up.
Womp fucking womp. Literally anyone with sense predicted this
Yep, this is correct.
You are correct.
Thanks for your work, senator. Dems’ success in getting many harmful provisions removed under Byrd Rule arguments has been a big positive.
Support-oppose for strikes in Iran: YouGov 35-46 (-11) Ipsos 36-45 (-9) CNN 44-56 (-12) What's the difference? CNN doesn't have an explicit DK option. If you look at nets, it's basically the same result across all three polls - opposition outpaces support by 9-12 pts.
Lmao. This reads exactly like Trump wrote it. It’s either fake as fuck or Mark is deliberately buttering Trump up
How much of this is because the U.S., thanks to Trump, has proven incredibly unreliable? That’s not really a “win” for Trump.
Citation needed on that 80% figure. Maybe in his dreams. He’s full of shit
The public isn’t buying this. Republicans’ bill is polling like shit
@whitehouse.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @coons.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov
Oh, look, they lied again. This is my surprised face. www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...
How much does this account represent the Proud Boys writ large? Is it like an official comms account? Or is it just one guy? Genuinely asking, as I don’t follow rightwing nutjob groups
Oh phew. Here I was about to raise my oil prices. Glad I waited.
I mean, WaPo and NYT are pretty consistently bad now. I don’t bother to read them anymore and haven’t in a while
Checking in on how this take is holding up. Huh? Not good? O-oh…
Hawley and Blackburn are already vocally against this. Just need to flip a couple more to clear an amendment vote. Maybe Paul if he goes for the states’ rights angle. Murkowski? Collins?
Now you too can burn in one of Elon’s self-combustion machines without needing to buy a Tesla!
Lol. Kat Cammack on bicycle places stick in wheel dot jpeg.
Worth noting that it’s possible this could still be stripped out in an amendment. A number of Republicans have come out against it. Hawley and Blackburn come to mind. Could see Paul doing so as well
