I deeply enjoy that National republicans started a conflict they cannot win
🚨BREAKING: Virginia Democrats just dropped a new congressional map — and it could flip FOUR more House seats blue in 2026.
If courts greenlight it, Virginia voters will decide whether the new map takes effect.

Using a jet pack while wearing a tuxedo (but no helmet) after several martinis.
What "core British values" has "the left" not defended? Can someone ask this sentient fucking saucepan what he means?
Keir Starmer attacks the racism of Reform and Matt Goodwin but then adds that "Britain has also been let down by a mindset on the left of politics that is too slow to defend core British values"

Being chased by two bald men (who you mistook for a smashing pair of bristols), a bobby and a vicar on a tandem, a nun who you accidentally revealed to be wearing a corset with thong and stockings, some NHS nurses and a fat man... all while a saxophone plays a merry solo.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Nobody made the GOP do this. The GOP fully, deliberately abused power in ways that turned the US against them. With their eyes wide open.
Nobody needs to take their scolding & shouting seriously ever again.

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Here’s what I think we should do with the concentration camps. Ready?
Let every detainee out. Give all of them citizenship and reparations with no strings attached. Dismantle the facilities brick by brick. Never open another one ever again.

our country's political window shifting as far right as it has is due entirely to a repeated process of Republicans doing things they aren't allowed to do and Democrats responding not with sanctions but a repeated demand that Republicans knock it off, already.

ICE isn’t an aberration, but the product of the militarized police state the US built at home and abroad. The shooting of an unarmed man isn’t new, just how brazenly this violence is carried out. Fight ICE, but to truly protect our communities, we must dismantle the system that made it possible.
