Yes, an important test for the midterms.
If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

Video of a woman dancing in a giant glass at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago party.

Some MAGA accounts falsely claimed this didn’t actually happen. They are wrong once again.

You mean like the 5 out of 500,000 NCAA transgender athletes that the right hung around the Dems neck
Yes but there’s enough reality there to make these accusations seem credible
But that's the point-- Clinton did restrain those programs. He did not add to them, he said the "era of big govt is over". He and Obama both governed to the right of Nixon, so it's total fallacy that Dems moved left.
Clever to call all movement to the left "an embrace of civil rights." Beautifully elides everything from moving left in the Cold War and national defense to the ginormous social programs that Bill Clinton finally agreed to restrain.
"It's because of civil rights" is a comforting story.
And Obama was to the right of Nixon in many ways. The Dems haven't drifted "left".
And Bill Clinton was a Southern Democrat as well.
This is just wrong. The party moved right in many ways, certainly in the 90s. The drifting of the public away from identifying as Dems tracks with the New Deal generation, and their immediately adjacent cohorts, dying off.
I guess here on Bluesky it's controversial to note that the Democrats, once the majority across this country, were reduced to national minority (in stages, from 1968, to 1980, to 2016) by moving left.
But if you'd rather think I'm just making Trump's point...well, whatever helps you cope.
I'm questioning this statement, "the left started to lose the public (who to this day don't see Reagan the same way they do.)"
Who is this *public* you speak of? Wouldn't the left be a subset of it?
This feels like the current Trump regime's feelings that Democrats aren't real Americans.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.

And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.
But I was told by reliable MAGAts that NYC and all cities are hellscapes of crime and the subways are full of ax wielding illegal immigrants. Is this not true? Is this video all liberal AI?
The music cuts off awkwardly before the end, but this is an incredible NYC Halloween costume compilation.

Unconscionably tone deaf.
sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.
And a ripped from the headlines sizzle that no show has ever bested (see Putins’s doomsday weapon announcement yesterday- so on the nose I can only assume they were watching in the Kremlin and said “let’s announce it now”)
I don't know why more people aren't watching The Diplomat. It's such a satisfying old-school show, in the West Wing mold -- a completely engrossing political fantasy with real, fleshed-out characters & that old weekly-drama pace that I've really come to miss. And Kerri Russell *cooks*.

I was just in London and this is total bullshit. Women are decidedly not "covered up". Fucking idiot
Mamdani’s family moved to NYC when he was seven, went to grade school & high school there. He literally represented Astoria in the state assembly for years. I think he’s figured it out by now.
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."
This sounded better in the original German

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Tuesday & @willbunch.bsky.social is on it:
The Founders knew Congress - especially the House - was the backbone of U.S. democracy. It should be a huge story that Mike Johnson, serving Trump, has all but shut it down

Yes, Dem votes ARE required to open the govt which is exactly why you need to strike a deal with them, not ignoring them and insist they vote for your, only on your, priorities. Compromise is the essence of the system. You are not doing that.
Mike Johnson: "Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't!"
@schwarzenegger.bsky.social So, ya still for unilateral disarmament by anyone opposed to tRUmp???????????
Heads up: Indiana's Republican governor just called a special session to consider a new congressional map.

Trump and JD Vance have been pressuring Republicans in the state for months to further gerrymander their map.
Sc term limits and 3 justices added. Massive reforms to exec power. Bulldoze the ballroom and rename anything that’s called trump.
If there ever is another real presidential election that a dem wins, I want immediate “national health care” emergency declared nationalizing insurance companies. Dc and pr statehood perhaps cali split into 3 dem states. I want appropriation bills to only apply to districts that vote for them.
Reason just ran an article about the 50 national *emergencies* Trump is relying upon for newfound powers. Fifty, simultaneous, national emergencies.
