remember when AOC (our future president) was passed over for Oversight ranking member by a man who was *literally dying*

Being old enough to collect SSA early retirement is going to be disqualifying to like 70% of voters in 2028, mark my words.

4! Four of them have failed the challenge *this* congress, with its razor thin GOP majority

we should make that true now

“ketchup packets are not available in rural areas.”

How the Virginia GOP could've won:

>Don’t target rural areas, focus on suburbs

>Demand Musk not to be an idiot with DOGE

>Don’t siege state elections, rig them immediately

>Zurge rush NoVa to cut off woke

>Ally with laid-off government workers against Spanberger

>ignore bad national brand

We need to make cowardice a firing offense for police officers again.

arlington voters when governor spook does a ballot initiative:

They think you're stupid.

There is only one working class, the Professional Managerial Class. There is only one working class party, the Democratic Party. There is only one working class newspaper, The Financial Times. There is only one working class heartland, Northern Virginia

REMAIN CALM

LOCKHEED LIBERALS ARE IN CONTROL

if there’s one thing i expect a CIA officer to know, it’s whether or not a given election is gonna be fair #voteyes

A lot of you people who used to complain about the imperial boomerang coming back to America are weirdly silent when a CIA officer engineers an election in the way you like.

Curious.

This was lightly tongue-in-cheek but something that I do struggle with is that I am told over and over again to prioritize the white working class while that block has voted to make my life and the lives of the people I love worse. Why shouldn’t I advocate for me instead?

I’m choosing me and my loved ones over Hickface McYokel who would put us in a death camp if given the chance, personally - call me crazy, call me selfish, but I no longer care.

the conservative reaction to the virginia results remind me quite a bit of their reaction to the 2012 presidential election, where they were offended that democrats ran to win

everyone get more paternalistic NOW

something i believe we have got to get stronger on as a party is that one do not actually have the right to do bad things, and everyone actually knows what "good" and "bad" is despite all moaning to the contrary. sorry! you can't use liberal democracy to abolish liberal democracy sweaty.

yes. speaking as a former Republican i genuinely believe that suppression of the GOP by all legal means available is a moral imperative

thinking back to the lead up to 2024 when all the right wing election bros were amping themselves up about how virginia was going to flip red. it has such symbolic value for them. now its punched them in the face

Imagine how much less bad the last year and a half might have been with divided govt

yeah I really think that ICE should be placed under interdict and Catholics obliged to choose between Christ and a enforcement of a demonic policy that rips children from their mothers’ arms

Q: If Democrats do win back the House, will you advance a bill to ban gerrymandering?

Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: Democrats want to establish one national standard that would prohibit mid-decade partisan gerrymandering. But we’re not going to unilaterally disarm.

Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: Our message to Florida Republicans is fuck around and find out. If they go down the road of a Desantis dummymander, they'll find themselves in the same situation as Texas Republicans. They started this war. And we're gonna finish it.

it puts the pronouns in its hair or else it gets the derrymander again

it puts the pronouns in it's bio, or else it gets the hose again

heartwarming video of astronaut Christina Koch greeting her dog for the first time after returning from space. the pup can be seen snarling, back arched, before scampering to its word buttons and pressing "IMPOSTOR" repeatedly, then "FALSE. SKIN. FALSE. SKIN." several times

I for one believed this to be a Ralph Lauren ad due to the nearly identical logo and overall aesthetics. This belief made me think less of and be less inclined to purchase Ralph Lauren.
