why do no republicans ever feel ashamed about anything ever

I still brutalize myself internally on the regular for mispronouncing "awry" in fifth grade and being corrected by the teacher in front of a girl I had a crush on and these motherfuckers lie, get caught, and just smile and repeat it.

If people are being asked to cut back on water usage so AI centers can have more for their cooling systems then we’ve already reached the point in the movie where the bots have taken over.

Ken Paxton is great because he's never not testing the limits of human reasoning. He's a pioneer in stupidity. He's like an astronaut for the completely spaced program. You've never seen someone more dedicated to being openly moronic without a shred of charm to show for it.

Texas Republicans being more committed to cheating voters with a frankenstein map than to doing emergency legislation to fix the state's flood warning systems is pretty much all you need to know about them.

There are no - absolutely zero - “legitimate” concerns about trans people in any context. THAT is the only correct answer. The entire trans panic is made-up garbage. THAT is the only thing Democrats should be pushing. Anything less is unacceptable.

I think everyone should be talking about lot more about how it’s clear the Epstein stuff is a palace coup with JD Vance trying to take over and how Trump had better be careful because they’re trying to fool him. This message should get to him a lot.

@repjasmine.bsky.social: "This president has not been able to wield the level of influence without the help of so many minions, including the Speaker... He's hoping that the news cycle will blow over over the next month... and we can come back and everybody's like, 'Jeffrey Epstein, who?'"

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

CREW @citizensforethics.org · Jul 18

With Colton's conviction, that makes FOUR pardoned January 6th insurrectionists who have faced charges for solicitation of a minor or child sex abuse of some kind.

This year, Donald Trump and the extremist majority of the Supreme Court have been working overtime to destroy student loan debt relief for many millions of Americans.

the thing that the next dem candidate for president will have to understand and have to explain is that this court, with these powers, will not let a democratic president or a democratic majority govern, and that president and that majority will have to respond accordingly.

the court during the first administration was bad enough, but whereas by the end of it, i wanted it reformed, now, in the second administration, i want it fucking destroyed

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I would argue that the ICE funding was actually the real point of the bill.

That and buying off billionaires to ensure in advance they do not object to a dictatorship.
