I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

So what’s the plan, Senator?

So what’s your plan, Senator?

So what’s your plan, Senator?

You could have had free universal healthcare this entire time. The money was always there.

I think you lot should be filing impeachment articles whether you can carry the motion or not. Sometimes it is literally about principle

to wit, there are a lot more things that should be government services and “money-losing.“ Internet. Cell phone service. Higher education. Health insurance. all could be free. Not being free is a choice

We’ve lost all concept of this, but government services are not supposed to be profit making enterprises. government services are not publicly traded corporations. They are, and I can’t stress this enough, government services

There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down

They aren’t kids. They are adult men who made an informed choice. Listen to this punk - he knows what he did and has no regret. Just because he’s not the nazi in charge doesn’t mean he’s not a nazi.

It's truly extraordinary, all the column inches and earnest pundit chatter about his strategy and personality, when in fact it's all right there, in broad daylight. He's a baby having a tantrum. It's really no more complicated than that.

Obama: "At some point, you age out. You're not connected directly to the immediate struggles that folks are going through. I'm not making a hard and fast rule here, but I think Democrats do well when we have candidates who are plugged into the moment. To the zeitgeist. To the times."

Every American needs to watch this:

“I commend the owners for their decision and thank them on behalf of the people of Oklahoma City,” Holt said. “As Mayor, I ask that every single property owner in Oklahoma City exhibit the same concern for our community in the days ahead.”

DHS, ICE no longer seeking OKC facility for proposed detention center, Mayor Holt confirms

Oklahoma City doesn’t want ICE

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

Read every word.

Know who profits from Trump's cruelty.

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

This is not a small thing, and it’s not just run of the mill misogyny - there is a war on women’s humanity and I’m fucking exhausted of people not treating it like the emergency it is

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com OMG, stop mansplaining like we're all idiots. We know it's hard. They signed up for hard. The 8 were all veterans, this was not their 1st vote. Not even their 1st shutdown.

Does Bernie know? Do the other 38 Democratic know?

The party was coalescing. They fucked us.

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

From prosecutor to senator to vice president, Kamala Harris has always been for the people. I know her next chapter will be no different, whatever shape it takes.

Stop being mean to each other over petty nonsense. We're all distressed. Be kind.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

when you say shit like “who got to them?” or “they were blackmailed” you’re painting them sympathetically. stop doing that. they’re not victims, they’re grown people who made a conscious choice.
