This is my district. Gonna enjoy watching this dilettante losing the primary.

gas prices go up
honestly so amazing that like the only thing trump bragged about in the state of the union he immediately pulled the lever to undo
So glad I saved this picture. People truly don't understand the burden of democracy.
they never actually say what the party has wrong on this, itβs just a couple dems in hopeless races basically going βchuck schumer is a new york jewβ and demanding money
affordability is when the national party invests in my personal race where I'm gonna lose to Tom Cotton by 30 points even in a blue wave year
Texas rurals absolutely swing elections simply because of their sheer numbers, we'd definitely have a handful of statewide Dems if they didn't.
"it is not my civic duty to convince my fellow voters not to plunge our country into fascism because of their inaction"
Whelp, there we go. Maximum consumer mindset.
every incumbent party on the planet got walloped and Harris/Dems did better than almost all of them
she overperformed in swing states where she campaigned heavily compared to the rest of the country
she absolutely could have run a better campaign (Gaza!)
I donβt know if it would have been enough
Like this is just straight up being afraid to say either your whole chest youβre a Dem and frankly? Fuck off
So much online conservatism these days is just "I miss being a kid"
this was the IRA, which every senate democrat voted for and every senate republican voted against
If rural voters actually cared about this instead of servicing whatever ideological grievances they have against ppl that live in cities, theyd have voted for the nominee who was VP for the president that passed multiple bills that shoveled $ into rural areas for jobs, healthcare, & infrastructure
remember when the Bernie campaign nutted itself inside out when Joe Rogan said he liked Bernie? (before backing off and saying it wasn't an endorsement)
its very weird how people keep insisting that Janet Mills is basically Chuck Schumer in drag? I find this weird since Mills has never ever worked in Washington before, her whole career has been in Maine, but people are more upset with her than the sitting Democrats who voted for Schumer as leader π€·ββοΈ
I think Target's troubles started when they folded up their massive pride collection under pressure, that alienated a lot of liberal suburban moms, then doubling down on RW culture war by ditching DEI made black shoppers fucking hate them and totally burned the bridge with already alienated people
indeed take Sherrod Brown, there are lots of stories about how he was Chuck Schumer's dream candidate for Ohio and how Schumer got what he wanted when Brown jumped in, also Brown is a former Senator who supported Schumer's leadership
why is everyone mad at Mills but not at all mad at Brown?
oh AAA national gas price average for the day is: $3.413
California leads the nation with a state average of $5.078
Kansas is the low with $2.904 which is still higher than the national average a month ago
remember what I said the other day about the collapse of Iran's infrastructure and the massive global consequences if a nation of 100 people suddenly loses the ability to get its population electricity, heat, or.... *water* ?
CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.
Literally a childs understanding of the world
Shutting an oil well isnβt like turning off a faucet.
Itβs a huge engineering risk, difficult to reverse β and an indicator the Kuwaitis donβt see choke points improving anytime soon.
Mind destroyingly stupid NYT headline: Trump echoes fdr and grant in calling for βunconditional surrenderβ
In a year of stupid headlines, what to even say, this has to be among the stupidest and frankly most offensive yet
While Trump hurt our ability to help Americans get to safety by only having 4 confirmed Ambassadors in the 14 countries with evac orders and not planning ahead of time, itβs the career public servants at State Dept now stepping up. Let me tell you whatβs been happening. THREAD (1/9)
Absolutely batshit. This shitshow is only going to get worse, whatever Trump does momentarily.
On a more amusing note,
βThis is the first time Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countriesβ is gonna piss off a lot of Very Online Turkish nationalists, no doubt.
It is an interesting thing to watch the orange man not realize that military capacity is not infinite and you can't do all the things at once.
Yea the post 9/11 βyou canβt critique America at allβ ainβt gonna fly considering where the public is and where the Presidents polling already is
Also big LOL that the press isnβt largely okay with the war so far
Look, I think the correct way to view this whole submarine thing is to ask it this way.
Are the Iranians currently under any obligation whatsoever not to sink a troop transport in the Mediterranean carrying U.S. troops right now if they could?
Markwayne giving up a seat he could hold for life makes sense in two overlapping set of facts: (a) dunning-kruger syndrome, (b) think Republicans might lose the senate.
A place where ppl understood the consequences of electoral politics far more than they do now
It used to be that U.S. wars that ended disastrously were at least popular in their initial moments, as presidents benefited from a "rally around the flag" effect.
Not anymore. One innovation of the Trump administration is choosing wars that are deeply unpopular from the start.
