12 out of 17 of the oldest current members of Congress are Dems or Independents that caucus with Dems. I love some of them, but others are ineffective.

He's handing Newsom another great opportunity to troll him.
Not to mention, the SOURCE of all this alleged "tariff revenue" is working class American taxpayers. Is he literally claiming to have extorted $8T from us to redistribute to DHS and DoD?
If you listen carefully to what Musk/DOGE said, it's not that SS and Medicare aren't solvent. He said that people are "living too long" BECAUSE they have SS and Medicare. The goal is to take resources away from us so that we'll die sooner. 2/2
If you read about the billionaire tech bros' Dark Enlightenment, the goal is to boost the birth rate to produce more workers, but lower life expectancy because the working class is considered useless biofuel once we're done breeding and working for the billionaires. Retirement will be phased out. 1/
I respect any of our Congressional legislators who step down voluntarily to let younger generations lead. At 79, and after 34 years in Congress, he's served the nation very well. Plus, it's a safe seat that shouldn't flip.
I may or may not have imitated a blue jay just this afternoon.
This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
The tech bro dialogue in Mountainhead on HBO Max is so spot on. The God complex, the retreats spent stroking each other's egos, the beliefs that any problem can be solved with code and that they can get away with anything. All of it, just spot on. The writers should win awards for that script.
I thought it was her or a teacher. I feel badly for the girl targeted, who doesn't seem to harbor any negative feelings towards the attacker.
Yarvin gives lectures to the tech bro billionaires and Vance, saying that the U.S. should be run by one CEO who makes all decisions. He also says the working class should be sealed off from upper-class society, like bees in a honeycomb sealed over with wax, and only allowed out for emergencies.
I also heard about a guy who wears clothes straight out of the dryer and then throws them in the washer after he takes them off. He does it to eliminate the need to fold, hang and put away laundry.
They already had the kids loaded onto the planes,hoping to leave without US citizens knowing . . .right on brand for this POS.
Day 224 REALITY CHECK: The election was highly compromised. There was a coup. The Supreme Court was the primary lever. Everything we have witnessed is TREASON. There’s no way out of this without MASS MOVEMENTS of the people. No one is coming to save us. We must rise up in peaceful revolution NOW.
If TACO dies, they'll announce it immediately. The billionaire tech bros that installed him selected Vance as VP and actually want him in charge. He's just as bad as TACO, if not worse, because he's arguably smarter. He just has a horrible unelectable personality.
They're getting enough of what they want to justify putting up with anything they don't want.
they are the Freedumb Party
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
The guy who used to seek out cameras and give comments to reporters on anything and everything several times per day now won't come within 100 yds of the press pool.
Since day one, this Admin has moved to strip veterans of their earned benefits and use those who have served as political pawns. I met with my Veterans’ Advisory Council to discuss how we can continue to support Veterans and Service Members amidst these attacks.
what are the warnings on ketamine? women shouldn't be taking reproductive health advice from a guy with a weird breeding fetish and an alleged broken penis from a failed attempted enlargement procedure
It's true. Look at this absolute laundry list of serious side effects associated with birth control pills! Oh, wait, my mistake. This is the list of side effects for sildenafil, the ED drug in Viagra and Cialis. We better ban it!
The National Guardners
The guy who previously LOVED being on camera and giving the press quotes multiple times per day now won't get within 100 yds of the press pool.
Huh.
Feel FREE to Re-post. ;)
If they've "taken" $8T in tariff revenue, they've taken it directly from working class American taxpayers and redistributed it to the billionaire class. Hell of a thing to proudly announce.
@meidascanada.ca
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
Schumer and Jeffries need to go, too. We need to replace all the milquetoast Dems with brawlers like Sanders, AOC, Crockett, etc.
If you enjoy your daughters being safe from pedophiles, demand the release of the Epstein files.
Great photo! #bloomscrolling Looks like sulfur cosmos. Not native to MI, but probably a self-seeding annual in our area.
Last night, at the final show of her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour, Cyndi Lauper brought out Joni Mitchell (for “Carey”), Cher (“Girls Just Want To Have Fun”), SZA (“True Colors”), John Legend (“Time After Time”), and more. www.stereogum.com/2321337/cynd...
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
The Rev took attendance…
My MAGA stepdad, wheelchair bound since '18, told me that he's become a great advocate for the disabled. He fires off nasty letters, complaining whenever places aren't perfectly accessible for him. I wanted to say, "Too bad you're not capable of empathy for issues that don't directly affect you."
This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social’s @mizzwelch.bsky.social
the Berlin Wall fell because a bunch of people misunderstood a press conference, flooded the gates, and reached a critical mass. we think about it a lot. the thing about the people in control is, they're out numbered and always will be. all it can take is one little misunderstanding to remind us.
Garcia: “We finally heard from the Epstein estate. They’ve agreed to provide the actual Epstein book, along with other documents that haven’t been made public yet.”
That's my governor! Big Gretch enacted the most comprehensive reproductive freedom law in the U.S., expanded LGBTQ+ protections, and expanded gun safety legislation. We're the only state that has successfully prosecuted the parents of an underage school shooter for involuntary manslaughter.
GOV. WHITMER on marriage equality 🏳️🌈 attacks: “Treating people equally is a Michigan value… LGBTQ+ Michiganders make our state stronger, better, and more vibrant.”
He hurt his hand jerking off President TACO Cankles.
OH needs Sherrod Brown back in a hurry.
Trans people never stole the entire Social Security database and put every American at risk by uploading their personal information to an unsecure server. But Trump and Elon Musk sure did.
Tech billionaires buy off Trump. No industry regulation.
also, he's stupid
If it fits your belief system, pray for less gun violence. However, whether or not you pray, please ACT -- lobby, donate, organize, and/or speak out. At the very least, vote for politicians with a record of preventing gun violence. Until enough of us "move our feet" like this, nothing will change.
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
The boycott is working! Even if they did put it on the shelves, I'm not buying it! youtu.be/NDT-3OInPxk?...
1. DOGE fires park service staff all over the country. 2. Trump looks out his windows & says DC looks terrible. 3. Trump forces National Guard troops from multiple states to take time off from their regular jobs & leave their families to improve the views outside his windows. Did I get that right?
Trump notoriously has few friends and none that aren't completely transactional. I can't name a closer friend of Trump's than Jeffrey Epstein. Can anyone? Neighbors in NY and in FL. Allegedly sold Trump one of his planes. Introduced him to Melania. Attended his wedding. Was a member at Mar-a-Lago.
KY voted MAGA. Fuck them.
Well done, my Canadian neighbors! Keep it up. I feel a little bit badly about the west coast wineries since they're in progressive states, but most of the distilleries are in MAGA states like KY and TN. Do what you have to do, and we support you 100%!
Don’t look away
youtube.com/shorts/6z1GV... Firefighters in Washington State were raided by ICE today while fighting one of the largest fires the state has ever seen! Work was stopped for 3 hours while agents checked IDs of the crew in their camp! This is a MUST WATCH video! 🤦♀️ THIS is SO WRONG!👇👇👇
Regular reminder that RFK Jr and his own children are vaccinated. Remember that, parents, when he's telling you not to vaccinate your children.
Well, yeah, if Trump/Vance go, the entire regime is out.
My U.S. suburb is extremely diverse. I have neighbors directly adjacent representing at least 6 different cultures. Everyone gets along & respects/appreciates each other. We have great small ethnic grocery stores, festivals celebrating a wide variety of cultural holidays & our schools are excellent.
She needs to have private security in place.
Dem states should hire these people for their state health departments.
So, what are Republicans doing to improve mental health in the U.S.? Where's the funding for that? They should be massively expanding access to services, but instead they've been cutting funding for decades.
This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...
School boards decide what kids learn. City councils decide if rent skyrockets. State houses determine your rights. Local elections = where the power is. 👉 runforwhat.net
Chicago keeping art alive:
The only thing they'll be prepared for is to marry some kid from their church at 19 yrs old. I tried explaining that even if they never need to support themselves, they should still be able to. You never know what could happen in the future. Sad that it falls on deaf ears. They're at such risk.
These troops are away from their regular jobs and their families to do something anyone could do. Why not hire DC residents to pick up trash and put down mulch?
I asked her what she was going to do when they needed to take algebra, trigonometry, chemistry, physics, or a world language. Her response was, "We'll see if they even get that far."
My conservative Baptist brother and SIL both struggled in high school and neither went to college. My nieces, 15 and 13, have never been to school. While my SIL does take homeschooling seriously, she's simply not qualified. A few years ago, she said she was adopting a Mormon curriculum to avoid CRT.
Anyway, I'm gonna go witkoff now.
IA, please come up with a strong Dem candidate!
There’s a reason Dr. King's historic 1963 rally was called “The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.” As he warned the nation, "We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor." Real freedom requires economic freedom for all.
No notes
We REALLY need to flip the House next year and make a Democrat 3rd in line for the presidency. Then we need to "remove" Trump and Vance by any means necessary.
All the blue states should hire former CDC staff for their state health departments. If TX wants kids to die from measles, cool, but my state doesn't want that.
I'm hoping he doesn't live that long.
I feel seen and heard.
On its first day back, the beloved radio station returned with generation-spanning hits.
Isn't this what got the United Health CEO Luigi'd?
He's becoming better and better at doublespeak.
If we're not laboring for the technocrats, we're "biofuel" to them & they want us to die. (They called all of us "biofuel" & laughed about it.) They don't want people to enjoy retirement or spend time with their grandkids. Musk said that we were all "living too long" because we have SS & Medicare.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
Hopefully she has her own private security for her book tour.
So, you talked about the latest breakdance moves you're trying to master and the parachute pants and high-top sneakers you want to get? Hope you both wore your half shirts to show off your abs! ;-) Just kidding! The 80s were wild!
typical Pedocon Party member
There has to be someone in IA who can beat him in 2028. I heard that he wants to die in office, and the governor is supposed to appoint his grandson to his seat. It's not a monarchy, ffs!
I only got guns BECAUSE OF the current regime.
The only factor in our favor is that Hitler was 44 when he was elected. Trump is 79 and in horrible health.
Nothing says "American Workers First" like a giant portrait of an oppressor who's never done an honest day's work in his life.
Everyone should read about Thiel, Yarvin, Vance, and the Dark Enlightenment. If you're an "undesirable," which most of us are, they want you working for them (and barely scraping by), breeding for them, or dead. Period. Those are the only options.
Newsom tells our Christopher Cadelago that he has final say over his x posts, but is using his "kill switch" to reject posts "less every day." Watch the interview from our Politico Live California Agenda Summit 👇
Is he running again?!? I thought Chuck Grassley running for another 6-yr term in his late 80s was bad! These people need to step down.
It doesn't even taste like pumpkin, just pumpkin pie spices plus a lot of sugar.
Costco sells some decent beans.
