pretty funny to do this when you're ruled by a family that's spent the last several hundred years marrying their cousins.

This guy is just terrible, it would be really great if he loses. I was relieved to be redistricted away from his crooked ass in 2022.

There's also the excellent Netflix series "Archive 81", tragically cancelled after 1 season.

"ilhan was also investigated by biden, where there's smoke there's fire" yeah ilhan has been subjected to 8 years of bipartisan dedication to punishing her for being black, muslim, somali, and pro-palestine, and in that time the government has surfaced precisely 0 evidence of wrongdoing

I don't ever see it mentioned as "analog horror", but the extremely eerie Kairo (2001) definitely has the same feel and its apocalyptic anxieties seem to come from the same place.

wrote on saturday that trump was not going to let democrats avoid the question of impeachment and here we are with an offense that would have had a president impeached, removed and *at least* exiled if it had happened at any point prior to now.

When Dems talk about the Ilhan Omar situation, they need to stop using language that implies that Omar might have done anything wrong. Trump is not "investigating" Omar. They are trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting Congressmember by scrutinizing decades old paperwork from when she was a kid

This story makes it sound like the major problem is that the Trump Admin did this w/in 60 days of an election. Yes, that's a real abuse. But the major problem is they're basically threatening to denaturalize an opposition legislator, based on racist insinuations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

Federal Agents Search Home of Rep. Ilhan Omar (Gift Article)

The search takes place within the 60-day window of the midterm elections, when the Justice Department has historically avoided such investigative steps related to political candidates.

He is specifically targeting Omar in this way because he intends to strip her citizenship to make sure that Somali Americans know that their citizenship does not matter.

This is 100% an attempt to denaturalize and deport her.

what i want out of the next two years of an at least partially democrat-controlled congress is robust dossiers on every criminal in this administration ready for relevant agency heads and state governments at 12pm on january 20, 2028. impeachments are one avenue to help build them

simply do not understand the anti-impeachment impulse on the left. even if you think there's no point to impeachment without conviction (i think this is wrong on the merits, impeachment means public inquiry), what else do you think a democratic congress is going to do under this president?

If women and their partners defer to church doctrine and refuse birth control, and later abort a pregnancy that would have been prevented had they used it, then church doctrine participated of the causal chain of events that led to the abortion. Ergo, church doctrine caused the abortion.

Less "support the troops" than rank xenophobia. The Fort Hood shooting looms large to Vance because the perp is Muslim. The case feeds into his white nationalism and islamophobia, and is useful for his "War on the West" demagoguery in a way that McVeigh and the OKC bombing are not.

He was quite a male diva, and knew Trump professionally as a celebrity performer, but he was not a "friend" and would be appalled to see Trump today He also died in 2007 -- before any of the Obama birtherism shit that put Trump on the political map.

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

“Because we’ve seen this movie, we know how it ends, which is a politician in robes who is following Trump’s orders on most major questions.” - @blumenthal.senate.gov Every single Sen Democrat should be committing to blocking every Trump nominee to any federal court.

Some Democrats don’t expect to fill a Supreme Court vacancy under Trump

Democrats need a net gain of four seats to capture the Senate. If they get it, they’d control what happens in a vacancy, as Justice Samuel Alito admits he has thought about retirement.

I think there’s a stronger case for pretty much the opposite rule. If you’re studying a field where you’re going to rapidly be making a lot of income, why do you need a government loan? Get one on the private market.

it's such a perfect example of what is actually alito's hallmark as a justice, shoddy, sub-undergraduate thinking dressed up with five dollar words.
