To hear a DNC candidate say we need to bring back Dean's 50 state strategy is music to my ears.

I am all about @Google cracking down on Forbes and others for obvious #SEO abuse. But to do it a week before Black Friday is frankly suspect. Those places employ people. And believe me, these changes can result in mass layoffs (I've seen it). It's not right at all.

Please tell me this isn't the end Mary, and thank you!
Working for Alaska as a member of our federal delegation has been the honor of my life. Thank you all for that opportunity. I'll tell you, working for all of Alaska isn't easy. Some say we have six regions; others say twelve distinct regions, cultures, and communities with unique and sometimes conflicting needs. The path ahead will not be built by one person or three people working for all of Alaska but by all Alaskans working together to build a future that works for all of us. No one in the Lower 48 is coming to save us. It's up to us. As I close out this campaign and term in Congress, I want to thank my family and staff. Your sacrifices for Alaska might go unseen by most, but we all know their impact. To both my Campaign and Congressional teams, thank you. You've lifted me up during difficult times. You achieved generational wins for Alaska. You brought so many new people into the Alaska political process. You amplified Alaskans’ voices across the country. And you made fish a national issue. I am forever thankful to all of you for that. Nick, I'm rooting for you. Please don't forget when DC people keep telling you that you are one of three, you are actually one of more than seven hundred thousand Alaskans who are ready to fight for our state, myself included.

This is how you respond to these Republicans. Not with the pussyfooting around that the establishment thinks wins over moderate Republicans. It's time to call Nancy Mace for what she is, a fraud and attention seeker.
Rep. @AOC on Rep. Mace's transgender bathroom measure: "They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

Suing your way to acceptance isn't going to work. It may have fooled just enough swing voters this time, but it's time that Israel starts making decisions on its own, and not with the blank check it has had from the US for far too long.

How long before Trump realizes Elon is a liability

DOGE's "roadmap" reads like a Supreme Court case waiting to happen. And the Supreme Court won't even look kindly on a "department" created anew without any Congressional or Judicial oversight. Especially with what they're trying to do. These people are fucking idiots.

Democrats have been trying to cut the defense budget for 20 years.

Not just that. The stroke changed his personality. There was a massive exodus last year of aides who were like, this wasn't the John we signed up for. He has next to a zero chance of re-election. No way people are going into 2028 with two senators (McC and him) who never work.

The best thing to happen was Casey losing. Because it makes the likelihood of John getting primaried that much higher.

Picking Gaetz is just dumb when you're trying to ram through recess appointments. This can't be unraveling this quick..

Why am I not surprised Fetterman is the first to publicly support one of Trump's nominees...

Leaving Twitter isn't that bad. However, going to Mastodon, I missed quite a bit. And tuning out the disinformation on here completely isn't smart either. No more surprises.

Since their internal polling showed Biden losing by 400 electoral votes, they all did
😅😔 to these people saying President Biden should resign so VP Harris could be POTUS for a few weeks. Do you hear yourselves? The Oval Office is not a damn game. Smh.

Out of all the pundits on MSNBC, Jen Psaki seems to be the only one that gets it. Didn't see that coming.

The "Sotomayor Retire" movement seems supported by the same people who ran Resistance 1.0. Sorry, not gonna jump on that train again.

Bernie's right..it's a move that could potentially backfire spectacularly. This is not the time to make moves that may open the door years early (and maybe he gets none in four years, that's happened too.)
Kristen Welker: "Some Democrats behind the scenes quietly talking about the possibility, should Justice Sotomayor step down...Do you think she should step down?" Sen. Bernie Sanders: "No, I don't." Welker: "Have you heard any talk of this?" Sanders: "A little bit, yes." Kristen Welker: "And you don't think it's a sensible approach?" Sanders: "Correct."
