Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

So many bastards, so little time.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

You cannot shame the shameless.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Looking for a way to make a difference?

We had 5 people live blogging the book club zoom with Adam Schiff, and that worked out really well.

Can we get 5 volunteers to attend this tonight at 8 pm Eastern?  (7 pm Central)

Let Us Work! Save our Services! Mass Call

Start: Thursday, March 13, 2025 at 7:00 PM CT

A link to attend this virtual event will be emailed upon RSVP

Elon Musk is trying to steal the federal government — slashing public services, firing civil servants, and handing power to billionaires like himself. It’s illegal. It’s dangerous. And we won’t stand for it.

Join us March 13th at 8 PM on a nationwide call to hear how we fight back. Speakers will include Robert Reich, Senator Chris Murphy, AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler, Maurice Mitchell of the Working Families Party, and more TBA.

Here’s what you can expect on the call:

  • Hear from federal workers on the front lines fighting back against illegal DOGE cuts
  • Get details on our new national campaign of actions and town halls to stop federal worker firings and cuts to public services — including how YOU can get involved.
  • Hear from top elected officials and union leaders — including Representative Greg Casar and AFGE president Everett Kelley — about the urgent stakes of this battle.

To attend this event, please RSVP on this form and we’ll send you the details.

Hosted by: the Federal Unionists Network, the AFL-CIO, the American Federation of Government Employees, the Working Families Party, American Federation of Teachers, United Auto Workers, International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, National Treasury Employees Union, Service Employees International Union, MoveOn, Common Defense, and the National Federation of Federal Employees.

    I’m too pissed at Senate (d)s right now to attend this. I’d be the guy that makes Murphy go tell the rest of the Senate never to talk to the Jackals again.

    But I will say it is rather rich for one of them to talk about fighting back right after crafting a con on their own voters they think will allow them to collaborate with the wreckers.

    With maybe three exceptions (who have been carefully kept away from power), they’re worse than useless fucksticks.

    It shocks me that they don’t seem to realize they are alienating a portion of their voters. They are basically telling all of us to shut up & go away.
