My ‘Miracle on Ice’ bill just passed out of Congress!🎉🏅🏒 This bill will award the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team, which beat the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, with a Congressional Gold Medal. (1/2)

I’m proud to honor these hockey players who brought our country together and showed the world America’s strength on the ice🇺🇸 (2/2)
what in the fuck bro
having to go back an entire 45 years for one feel good moment is actually pretty damning
He's the co-chair of the Ukraine committee. This is just a subtle way of saying "fuck you" to the Russians.
That just makes it even more embarrassing
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congres...
Incredible to just absolutely forget which countries were in the USSR.
IVAN THE BEAR IVAN THE BEAR
You'll never get far in politics with that historian attitude of letting facts get in the way of a good narrative.
we should weaponize this. if we can't beat em, bite em!
actually
the most thrillingly revolutionary thought i ever had is this: america does not have a "wicked soul." america has been a battle between goodness and wickedness since before it was named. this has never stopped. people have always been fighting for us. we have to fight for them. we might win.
The reason why the left doesn't have a leftist Stephen Miller is because leftists don't want to work alongside a Stephen Miller type. Which inevitably leads them to becoming reactionary Stephen Miller types in a "sour grapes" response.
and a little kissy and a wink to the reich
So he’s literally a cuck lmao
And much like all racist jingo bullshit it just serves to make him look like his mouth moves when he reads and he has a TBI
Are you for fucking real?
JFC what are you doing??? It truly tears me up to see the absolute fecklessness of the Democratic party. Our democracy is being destroyed and THIS is what you are patting yourself on the back for doing for our country? PLEASE do something to respond to things like this... bsky.app/profile/ndre...
please resign
Listen I’m a hockey fan but I’m an even bigger fan of not losing my country to fascism. Could you get on that, please? Thanks.
no one cares bitch, next time try doing something actually important
Performative nationalism in the face of a rising fascist government. What a Good German you are.
Hockey is cool and all, GKG, but c'mon. Read the room.
As we sit around campfires in the ruins of America, that’ll be a fond memory of the before-times, when we had electricity and a functioning government, but guys like Quigley were too focused on bullshit while the world burned…
Completely detached from reality.
Americans are being kidnapped by masked men, millions are losing healthcare, no abortion rights, personal SS data is being delivered to a 3rd party company (Palantir), cankles can’t bend over fast enough for Putin who is bombing Europe,…but, okay, you’re talking about a hockey game from the 80s?
Weren’t they already honored by an actual Olympic gold medal?
making actual history there was a movie with like kurt russell right? a genuine movie star one of the few remaining
great job, time to retire
I’m gonna move to Illinois just so I can vote your useless ass out of office
Oh god, he is real!
this is completely useless, thanks
lol. lmao even
Hey, Mike. Hey. Hey! 👋 Focus. Please.
dude excatly I'm like is this a joke? WE'RE SO FUCKED
Mike are you stupid or what, you don't have anything more important to be working on right now?
Whoopdiefuckingdoo. You want a cookie?
I just saw your hair “style.” Of course you’d be proud of something as lame as that. Worthless.
yo are you addled
At least Nero made some fucking music while his country burned.
Holy fuck Mike that was 46 years ago!! Just stop and actually work on fixing our country which is on fire and the planet.
Working hard or hardly working?
This sounds really fucking stupid and pointless!
"Brought the country together"? So how's that working out?
Hey this doesn’t seem very important
nothing's more important or american than celebrating winning via cheating
This is how you’re spending your time right now?
I hope you get primaried
Seriously?? With everything going on in the country THIS is what you’re focused on? Can someone primary this guy?
Not the ICE justice we are calling you about Mikey!!!
Fuck them and fuck YOU
I am your constituent. I am so fucking tired of you doing nothing. Get in front of a camera and stand up for the left and push back on these baseless attacks on democrats
Did you wake up from a forty year coma
My community has been getting demonized in the news for a week (And harassed/denigrated for years) Other communities are being positively destroyed... And this is supposed to be news? How about dealing with ICE. How about civil rights being destroyed. How about literally anything actually meaningful
Kinda pointless considering they’re all maga assholes now.
What a fucking stupid waste of time. Maybe stop the fascist take over? Maybe that you feckless fucking wimp.
You know most of these hockey players are MAGA right?
All of them are, Hockey is a Far Right Sport unless the Player has proven otherwise, even the Women's game.
But, what are you going to do about ICE?
Vote this useless mf out.
What an embarrassing thing to post, let alone actually introduce as a fucking bill lmao. You should resign immediately.
Did this hockey team do something to dislodge the insurrectionists that have illegally and unconstitutionally seized our government? Or are you just having a fucking laugh?
jesus fucking christ what the fuck are you doing
Fyi, when people complain Congress is non productive and ignoring actual issues, this is rhe performative do nothing work they talk a out. Smh. 45 years late for that shit too
Sincerely, stop being useless.
Hey, ya got any of those Epstein files around? #releasetheepsteinfiles
award my balls the medal
If this is what you’re spending your time and energy on then please just resign
neck yourself
Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me.
Literally "this is fine" meme in action. The mind boggles.
Good time to remind everyone that this is a “progressive” party in the US government who is stuck in the 1980s still simping for a reactionary policy that supports an economic system that maintains a permanent population of unemployed people.
great effort (waste) of your time
Mr. Quigley, while I appreciate your heart, with respect, we’re watching the rapid collapse of shared reality, the world order, and our national identity. When someone is experiencing such trauma, it’s not appropriate to share light news unless it’s sought out. It’s actually salt in a wound. 💞
damn bro really rising to meet the moment eh?
For how seemingly intentionally distracting this is from all the real issues happening, I assumed you were a Republican.
Cool man not much else going on I guess
Really? This is important now? What are you doing to defend democracy itself?
With everything that this country is going through right now, this is the dumb fucking bullshit you think we care about? What the fuck is wrong with you? Read the fucking room.
Reason # 50,987 for why I left the Democratic party.
Oh hooray, we're saved
The fuck? Is this seriously what you care about right now? Look at what the US has become. Nobody gives a fuck about the Cold War. We care about the fascist government that’s gearing up to inflict mass violence. And you’re focused on this? Resign. You have betrayed us.
Hey, C'MON, give the guy a break! He had to do SOMETHING to make it look like he's actually doing something to earn his $174,000/year congressional salary (plus expenses)! You can hardly expect him to do anything to annoy Trump, can you?! OR Israel!
fun fact: they already have gold medals
Your constituents elected you to waste time and tax money on this stuff? If you and your cronies were doing your jobs, I’d have no objections to this bill, but right now, releasing the Epstein files so the pedophiles can be arrested is higher priority.
The Soviet Union was officially dissolved 34 years ago. Don't you have more important things, temporally, to deal with, like maybe sanctioning the former Soviet KGB agent currently invading its neighbor? Just an example off the top of my head. Also, WTF?
Mike, man, you have every right to be proud of your accomplishment, but maybe this one you should have kept for a quiet moment to yourself. People have more pressing concerns, as I certainly hope you and your aides are picking up here.
FINALLY a politician who's willing to address the REAL issues
Serious watering the plants during a 5 alarm building fire vibes, man.
Fucking dipshit.
Well, that's certainly one way to spend your valuable time. READ THE DAMN ROOM.
Hey Siri - what is washed af?
FFS, maybe the defense of democracy should be your priority right now, no a 45 year-old hockey game.
YOU'RE FUCKING USELESS SHUT THE FUCK UP
Cool priorities, bro
This is the last thing anyone should care about right now.
Thankfully there's nothing more important to be focusing every drop of ur focus on
Wow, you're really with the times
damn dude you must be on the epstein list too
Nice to see you have your priorities in order while fascism is spreading like wildfire
Good job you absolutely useless piece of shit
who gives a shit? you seen what's going on right now?
this is nice and if our country wasnt going to ruin all around us, would totally be a fun lil thing to do. alas, you're gonna get roasted cuz holy shit, priorities dude
World's dumbest party.
what kinda loser ass shit is this
Fucking useless
Oh wow no way finally
Yeah this seems like the most important thing to be doing right now. Great job.
Jesus Fucking Christ
priorities
Is this a parody account?
THIS is what you’re doing? Jesus Christ dude
Loser behavior
literally no one gives a fuck, go worry about what’s happening now
oh boooooo this is coming out of Illinois. @govpritzker.illinois.gov come get this loser
You wanna do, you know, something useful with your time? Maybe?
Hey Mike, you’re out here giving medals for something that happened 45 years ago. Meanwhile America’s democracy is falling apart right now. Can you please focus on the priorities…
Jesus…are you all still living in the ‘80’s? We are in the middle of some shit right now you might want to look into…
Fire your social media staffer, delete your account, resign from Congress, and never contact me again.
@katmabu.bsky.social Do you know of any good people in the 5th district who might be able to primary this fool?
What the fuck is wrong with you? Instead of focusing on a 45 year old ice hockey match, maybe try to do something about the ICE agents kidnapping people in your state!
Cool! That’s huge. They barely had any gold medals for winning the Olympics 45 years ago
Hey Mike. Fuck you.
An immigrant was murdered by ICE in your town, you clown.
To quote Cushbomb: "This is the stupidest day in American history, a record that will be broken by every subsequent day in American history."
Cool. Who's on the Epstein list?
Seriously, are you really this much out of touch that you have give a sports team from 40+ year a lame medal?
I wonder how Quigley would feel after learning Ukrainians were also part of that team.
Democrats siding with the fascists? What a surprise! /s
"The US is a fascist shithole rn and I just passed a bill to enrich some old white jocks who endorsed the leader of that fascist government because I wanted to dunk on a country that hasn't existed for the last 35 years."
Fuck you. Rise to the fucking moment, dude!
Sincerely, who gives the tiniest iota of a fuck right now, Mike? How does this matter? What does this change? Whose lives are actually improved by this bill? This is stupid idiot nonsense left over from the cold war while the US is in the midst of a fascist radicalization spiral. Focus, man! Jesus.
ha ha now to get charleton heston a best actor for that moses movie!
Who the fuck cares about something that happened 45 years ago when there's literal Nazis in the streets? Rise to the damn moment or get fuckin primaried.
Wow, this is so important right now…
It's a shame that they weren't awarded with an Olympic Gold Medal so that you could focus on actual pressing issues. Oh, right.
Are you drunk?
Nobody gives a shit, Mike.
dude shut the fuck up
PS who is going to primary this breastplate nipple? Somebody better fucking step tf up.
Must be nice to be this fuckin useless and still collect a paycheck.
okay thanks man
Wow you did it! Dipshit
Why are you not talking about our government killing people? www.cnn.com/2025/09/15/p...
What the hell are you going on about? Nobody cares. Could you do something that applies to this current moment in time, maybe?
Way to focus on the big issues
...read the room...
do something that fucking matters
Real thumb on the pulse of the moment here, man.
Are you fucking serious? You owe the rest of the world to DIE TO STOP TRUMP IF THATS WHAT IT TAKES. fuck you and your dumb Olympics bullshit.
Are you fucking kidding? This is a joke, right? This has to be a joke.
As a hockey fan, this is one of my favorite moments in sports. Also, remember when these guys put on fascist hats and stumped for Trump with “tears in their eyes”? Fuck their Congressional Medal and fuck your stupid-ass judgment in this moment. www.cnn.com/2020/02/27/p...
Fuck those guys!
What the fuck
I'm not from your state but I think you are not a real legislator.
Are some still alive?
Somebody tell this clown that's SO 1980. Our leader is now in bed with Russia. Keep up!
Are you f***ing kidding me.
Next up: a bill to recognize Harry Connick, Jr.'s birthday on September 11.
Look at you just wasting oxygen
anything else going on right now
Oh hey, that'll be sure to take care of all the fascism going on -- I'm sure all the people disappeared by ICE will certainly join hands and sing in celebration of your hard work to achieve this supremely important action. Good job, man. Excellent work.
I’m a hockey fan and I watched this game on TV. Still, WTF? We have military in the streets, citizens getting arrested by unidentified masked goons, prices are through the roof, rising unemployment, DOJ run amok, cancer research cancelled, etc. Why are spending time passing out awards?
Your fucking with us? Thats what your thinking about right bow?
OMFG you're a democrat hahahahahaha Your country is fucked up
Proud moment for those of us who remember the importance of it at the time. However...
The 80s called. AIDs is an ignored pandemic devastating the gay community, Iran has US hostages. Russia is invading Afghanistan, and smallpox was eradicated due to vaccines and you want to give ANOTHER gold medal to the US men's hockey team 40 years later? don't you have something better to do?
im so glad nothing of greater importance is currently happening, or indeed has happened in the last 45 years
Who cares?
Seems like a good way to spend your time as fascism is quickly enveloping every aspect of our lives!
rummaging through the junk drawer for proof we beat another country at *something*
Dude your country is at the verge of a civil war, the right wing is going batshit crazy, ICE, y'all's money keeps sponsoring a genocide in Gaza and might soon be used to wage unprovoked war against Venezuela and Brazil... And you're thinking about a game from 45 years ago?
Seriously? Have you noticed what Donnie and his sewer clowns are doing to our Democracy? Priorities.
This country is so close to ripping itself apart and you are posting about this.
Go name a fucking post office.
What fucking drugs are you on?
Wow, what a useless waste of time
Do you think you could get around to impeaching the president for murder?
Phew! I was worried there for a moment that we'd have elected officials try and do something to slow the alarming spread of fascism currently taking place all around us.
Dems out here acting like we aren't living in fascist times sure makes it seem like they are complicit.
Hey man, anything else going on?
… Why? They won; they don’t need a participation trophy.
Who fucking cares
Nonsense like this is exactly why people like @katmabu.bsky.social are running. We need young ideas and actual action in Congress.
This doesn’t seem like anything anyone who’s not ancient gives a fuck about but go off ig
Mikey, thank you for helping me explain why I developed true contempt for you when you were my representative in Congress. #IL05
BTW, Quigley has a challenger in Democratic primary in 2026: @tamezforcongress.bsky.social #IL05
How about saving democracy and us from the fascist in the White House? I'd be interested in that.
This is a joke, right?
Oh great. Can you now focus on the president and his insane cult wanting to kill your entire base over a nazi podcaster?
who cares Republicans set the constitution on fire you dumbass
These people will never, ever save us. Join or start a socialist “book club” today (or tomorrow or next week just don’t wait too long)
The Vice President of the United States just went on TV and vowed to launch political prosecutions of his enemies and THIS is what you're working on? Jesus Christ, buddy, READ THE GODDAMN ROOM
This sucks man!!
Did… did they not get medals for this from the Olympics? I thought that was kinda the whole deal.
Pete Stauber asked you to this lunatic piece of crap? Don't we have other issues that are more important?Or are you just avoiding real work?
Bro you doing anything pertinent to all the issues of today
Wait is this a real guy?
Said a guy who’s very much owned by Russians
Jesus christ is your photo AI?
FFS, people are losing their goddamn jobs because they didn't cry about a white supremacist dying and THIS is what you think is important right now????? What the fuck is wrong with you????
Mike, my guy, they already won a gold medal. Why not, I don’t know, address some more pressing issues
Why not an 18th century cricket team?
Congrats on being fucking useless.
Way to prove yourself unfit to be in office. Doing useless shit while fascism marches by.
You are fucking useless and should resign.
Never meet your heroes
bsky.app/profile/ndre...
shit, this gon change everything
👓: Mike, we are living in fascism right now, maybe do something about that first
Huh. This sucks
Dude, will you please read the fucking room?
Are you entirely serious right now?
nobody cares
bud you'll be hard pressed to find someone who loves hockey more than me but this is not the fucking time
Are you an LLM?
What is wrong with you. The right is amping up rhetoric to mobilize a civil war and you’re worried about an 45 year old game??
As a constituent, I am extremely annoyed you are spending your efforts on this.
And taxpayer money
Ten to one odds the Supreme Court will, sua sponte, declare that congress exceeded its authority
Excellent use of your time and energy, sir. Glad the US taxpayers' money is being spent on facilitating bills like this, which help lower the costs of healthcare, housing, education, food, utilities, and other vital goods and services. Thank you for your service! 🫡
Um. Great. Now, when are we going to see the Epstein Files?
Very cool and a great use of your time, sir.
Heaven forbid that anyone refer to the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team as "one game wonders".....
Thank you. In-between worrying about the collapse of democracy and having to decide between eating or buying medicine this has been my biggest concern lately.
Are you on dope?
Can you, like... focus on anything else please?
It’s not 1980. It’s 1933. FOCUS.
Well said
WE NEED HEALTHCARE
Nice but please defend our freedom of speech or something
Try doing something meaningful.
dawg that was fifty years ago
You're a dip shit.
Are you fucking kidding me, THIS is what you're focused on? Get the fuck out, resign.
If you guys could ever just shut up about your “miracle in ice” bullshit, I’ll be a happy Canadian. Over 40 fucking years ago. Get over it.
Ask him about the '85 Bears.
Mike, I'm going to be honest, unless (2/2) is, "But of course, I'm no longer focusing on this legislation because of the alarming, fascist rhetoric coming from the administration," you're not really meeting the moment with this one.
God dammit, Mike.
Wow. I'm glad all that other stuff got solved.
Mike, what the fuck is wrong with you. That was 40 years ago and it was a hockey game. Please go do something of any value, including throwing yourself into a ditch and letting crabs take over your brain. They would make more lasting change than you.
The fuck?
Hey vichy asshole There's real work you ought to be doing Shut it down
Read. The. Room.
“My name is Mike Eruzione! And I’m releasing! The Epstein! Files!”
somebody should primary the shit out of you Mike
