4 decades ago the Federalist Society was created to destroy the fabric of the most successful democratic nation in history. It was a reaction to civil rights and the regulatory system that had built the middle class. They wanted unrequited wealth. They won. Now everybody’s miserable, even them. Yay

Guess JD Vance might have a problem this guy's language. After all, he wouldn't want to be called a hypocrite by all those pearl clutchers bsky.app/profile/esqu...

There is literally not a single thing that JD Vance says or does in his public life that isn't at the least sad and generally pathetic.

100 percent every Democrat worth their salt should absolutely say they're shutting down rando GOP programs.

Imagine the media reaction if a single Democrat ever said anything like this ever once in history.

This isn't that important. But this is really lame, environmentally poor, super washed. To build in that particular spot is shockingly shortsighted deadline.com/2025/10/glad...

Trump: "I had a very wealthy person who called -- a donor, a great gentleman -- and he said, 'if there's any money necessary, shortfall, for the paying of the troops, then I will pay it.' Meaning he will pay it. How about that?"

You want proof things are changing? Like really changing? This is not identity politics. This is not performative. This is specific, it’s targeted and it is holding individuals in power accountable. That’s real.

Transgression is the GOP sales pitch. Racism, state violence, misogyny are all sold by Stephen Miller and his DHS/DOJ teams through social media and marketed by unregulated Silicon Valley royalists. Ask why we haven’t confronted this for years.
