I was talking to a Trump supporter the other day. He claimed he had never heard anyone say Trump is corrupt before I said it to him. He claimed complete ignorance of Trump's 34 convictions. He insisted Trump wasn't a rapist. That the economy is great except for prices. That he cares about people. 🙃

"Tonight, a United Georgia will hear the trial of Mike Collins" is a cold blooded way to open a debate. I love it so much.

If the Chuck Schumers of the party had any self-awareness, they would see what Ossoff and El-Sayed are doing in their debates tonight and realize it's time for them to step aside and let the dogs eat.

The President of the United States, in front of a crowd of his supporters, during a televised rally, admits to a Quid Pro Quo pardon, which is a felony and impeachable offence. And absolutely nothing will happen, because his party, which controls congress, are fascist collaborators and sycophants.

If Dems take both chambers, they'd pretty well to aggressively push an agenda that includes these: Medicare for All Universal childcare Fully fund rental assistance vouchers Restore Roe v Wade Expand the Supreme Court Make Trump veto all of them. Let him make the case for the next Dem president.

Two thirds of Americans support Medicare for All. Every Dem candidate should be campaigning on it. Every Dem official should be holding a presser on it weekly. And Hakeem Jeffries, who doesn't support it, needs to go. share.google/W5RNZrnVyHFF...

"No they didn't." What a smug asshole. But good on him for making it clear why we need to expand the Supreme Court and impose term limits.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

I've been trying lately to remind myself that most people pay little to no attention to politics. But you're right, no surprise to those who know.

I participated in a Quinnipiac poll a few weeks ago bc I have a landline mostly for emergencies and no one has ever called it except my wife and kids when I don't hear my cell, so when the phone rang I assumed it was one of them. I admit to being a little excited. Still, your point stands.

The distinction matters. Dems would be popular if they actually delivered on the things they claim to believe in. Republicans *are* delivering on the things they claim to believe in and an overwhelming swath of the country doesn't like it.

Tom Corsillo @tomcorsillo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

The nuance that never comes across in polling about GOP and Dem approval/favorability is that ppl hate the GOP bc Republican politicians are doing things ppl hate. They hate the Democratic party bc Dem politicians aren't doing *anything.*

This evil moron is doing so much near-term damage that it's completely distracting us from the fact that he's undone all the moves Obama and Biden made that *may* have helped avert a catastrophic global temperature rise so even if the next President manages to save *us* our grandkids are still F'd.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

There's a Republican in my life who I love and who I discuss politics with regularly. She supports Medicare for all, free school lunch/breakfast, freezing the rent, and universal basic income; she's pro-choice; says the Iran war is a disgrace; thinks Trump is a terrible person and likes Biden...

I'm kidding, don't tell me. As someone who pays much closer attention to politics than the average voter (derogatory), it's funnier for me personally if the person Republicans are claiming is the leader and spokesperson of the Democratic party is someone I know nothing about.

When you take the L, it becomes possessive, and an apostrophe is required. It's basic grammar.
