Gerry Connolly Dead at 75 Congressman becomes third to die in office this year and sixth in just over a year

Gerry Connolly is the sixth congressman to die in office in just over a year. All were Democrats.

Virginia Democratic Party Chair’s response to my reporting warning that Gerry Connolly was terminally ill back in December

i love to live in the Freedom Country where citizens are scared to attend sporting events bc masked armed agents of the government might stuff them into an unmarked van and ship them off to a slave labor camp in el salvador for the rest of their lives

congress should consider stopping the stupidest person who has ever lived from destroying the economy

At some point you have to ask why elected democrats tend to be more cordial to the party they say is destroying the country than to their own constituents

Gerontocracy is alive and well in the Kremlin. That is the indisputable lesson taught by the impact of the 25th Soviet Communist Party Congress on the Moscow leadership. The clique of elderly gentlemen that has ruled the Soviet Union so tar during the 1970's remains in control. The marginal changes announced last week involve the removal of the “young” Dmitri S. Polyansky who is still on the right side of 60, and the election of Dmitri F. Ustinov, now 67, and Grigory V. Romanov, a mere stripling of 53. But the real kernel of power remains the hands of Messrs. Brezhnev, Kosygin, Suslov and Podgorny, a quartet whose average age exceeds 70.

BIG BOI SZN APPROACHIN

Amy Klobuchar, who would like the No. 2 job in Senate Democratic leadership—THE JOB OF WHIPPING VOTES—voted to confirm as ambassador to China during a Trump-made trade war a former Republican senator who was investigated by the DOJ and in one year executed 2,596 trades. GO EAT SALAD WITH A COMB.

I think this kind of gives the game away.

Everything about him is explained by him being a eugenicist

Can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding

A white Apartheid dead-ender gutting the most successful humanitarian effort of the century, because it was saving too many Africans from AIDS, would have once been thought of as too "on the nose."

when i say that there was a venture capitalist conspiracy against american democracy i cannot express how literal i am being

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

if we want to rebuild american institutions and earn back the world’s trust after this we cannot settle for half-measures. lots of people need to go prison. lots more need to be permanently stripped of wealth and power.

thank you Elon and DOGE! what the world definitely needs is unchecked drug resistant gonorrhea

76 year old congressman John Larson suffered a freezing incident during a press conference today. This was his second incident after freezing during a speech on the floor of Congress in February.

To put it in real terms: This press conference cost the U.S. stock market somewhere in the realm of $1-2 trillion dollars.

I have to be honest. I think the people in power are so stupid, sheltered and insane that there's no real overriding goal or strategy to any of this.

remember when Senate Democrats insisted they couldn't just ignore the parliamentarian? Well the Republicans are about to do that

Turns out you can ignore the parliamentarian after all

I keep watching this clip with something approaching yearning and I’m realizing it’s because we don’t hear this level of strategic realism—that the old world is gone and the old rules don’t apply—from anyone in leadership in the Democratic Party.

So glad they didn’t waste this dude as Kamala’s vp

i'm not ready to make a judgement on whether pritzker is good or should be president, but it's incredible that even if he's putting on an act he's one of very few Dems capable of reading the moment, which you would think would be a politician's one fucking job
