Snail walks(?) into a dealership and says, “I want a 240Z, but could you replace the Z with an S?” “Uh, sure,” says the dealer. As the snail speeds away in his new ride, the dealer shakes his head and says, “Look at that S car go…”

I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.

So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

But seriously, it seems like Trump & his goons miscalculated (shocking, I know). They expected Portland to just go into a frenzy over a few more cops at the ICE facility, which honestly who gives a 💩? When this city rose up in 2020 it was in defense of justice. We know a con when we see one.

Every Dem going on any TV hit on any channel needs to immediately talk about this. Make statements, do pressers. ACT LIKE THE GOP AND GET THE MESSAGE OUT.

Say "we'll stop the shutdown when you seat Ms. Grijalva" and see what the response is. Tell Mike. We'll come to the table if you seat her.

Republicans continue to postpone the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress, for a ninth day.

Her day one promise is to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

“.. we’re going to take care of our people,” Trump added. “There are some people that really don’t deserve to be taken care of. And we’ll take care of them in a different way.”

Ridwell? I don't have it, but our neighbor does. Not sure exactly how it works or what they do with stuff, but I know (sometimes?) they'll take clothing you can't otherwise donate.

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

I strongly think SCOTUS should become a rotating body of circuit court judges. It'll make it that much harder to corrupt

Texas Krusty @texaskrusty.bsky.social · 7d

All we have to do is kill the filibuster and create a 15 member SCOTUS for President Khan.

Those should be the bare minimum priorities for Day One.

Best description of the current political climate that I’ve seen in a while.

Texas Krusty @texaskrusty.bsky.social · 7d

And works very well if your side alone has done it for 40 years.

Democrats think this is a legit prize fight, with established, enforceable rules and an impartial ref. Rs have known for decades that it is WWE match & the ref is part of the show.

Ds are always surprised by the folding chair

This is the dumbest poll question ever.

Try polling the question, "Should the Republicans shut down the government in order to make sure families' insurance premiums go up by 75%?"
