if your takeaway from the last 24 hours is “americans want to reach across the aisle” you are wholly and completely unfit to represent the democratic party the message america sent last night was that they are DONE with this iteration of the republican party, full stop
Hakeem Jeffries: “This is not a partisan moment. This is a patriotic moment. This is not a blue moment or a red moment. It’s a red, white and blue moment because American has won tonight."

Turns out voters hated the loud, giant expensive warehouses that demand cities' worth of power built explicitly to enrich the already-rich and powerful

Democrats have removed segregationists. We've removed forced birth misogynists, and homophobes. Every time we make the party unwelcoming to bigots, we make it bigger and more inclusive. Pushing out Zionists now will have the same effect. No fascists in our party!

Chuck Schumer refused to back the Democratic nominee for NYC mayor and handpicked a Republican with a D by her name for a critical Senate seat. He’s completely unfit and would have been driven into retirement years ago if accountability existed in the Democratic Party.

Haley Stevens is still a member of Congress until January. A Democratic Party that actually had a spine and wasn’t full of shit would remove her from all committee assignments and censure her tomorrow.

Oh look, it’s Francesca Hong, the DSAer the establishment went all out to defeat in the primary for Wisconsin governor, working her ass off for Dems and using her platform to attack the Republican candidate for governor (not her former Dem opponent). Quite the contrast with Haley Stevens next door in MI. Because—say it with me—corporate centrist Dems are the real traitors to the Democratic Party.

U.S. politicians: “israel is the only democracy in the middle east ♥️” netanyahu’s son: “allowing brown people to vote is an existential threat”
צריך לומר את האמת. תוצאות הבחירות מוכיחות שרוב ערביי ישראל המוסלמים מזדהים כפלסטינים, מצדיקים את הטרור נגדנו, רוצים להעיף מפה את כל היהודים, שואפים להשמיד את המדינה היהודית, ולהקים מדינת פלסטינית ערבית אסלאמית על חורבותיה. זוהי בעיה קיומית לא פחות מהגרעין האיראני. החוק הישראלי (סעיף 7 א לחוק יסוד הכנסת ) מאוד ברור ואוסר על מפלגות תומכות טרור שפוסלות את ישראל כמדינה יהודית לרוץ בכנסת. הסיבה שהן כן בכנסת היא שבגצ רוקן את החוק מתוכן ומכשיר את הריצה שלהן בניגוד לחוק.

If done by a human, this would be a federal crime. Wait. It was done by a human. His picture is right there in the article.

I'm glad people are clipping @billmaher now because his entire moderate and liberal audience is now gone, and we'd never see just how much he's prostituted himself for MAGA
Karoline Leavitt takes a shot at California’s Democratic leaders, right in Bill Maher’s studio. “Maybe your governor should call.” She points to Trump’s work with DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and says California could look better if its leaders worked with him.

with 12 days until the midterm elections, the entire republican party has coalesced around attacking a woman for having been raped by her stepfather when she was twelve
Trump: "Vivek Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Amy Acton, who is running for Governor of Ohio, is a liar, and much worse. The Press, in a concerted and well coordinated attack, is trying to get Vivek Ramaswamy to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about a daughter in that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving in Office"

AIPAC is now spending as much as $9 million against Abdul El-Sayed. AIPAC is why we’re at war in Iran. AIPAC is why the U.S. has supported genocide in Gaza. We must say NO to AIPAC. YES to electing Abdul as Michigan’s next U.S. Senator.

The fact that a health insurance company even has shareholders is the biggest scam. Your denied medical claim is literally just a dividend payment for a billionaire who doesn't even know you exist.

Billionaires are so unaccustomed to being held accountable for their actions, that they treat accountability as persecution. Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Donald Trump has pardoned over 150 white-collar criminals for fraud.
BREAKING: President Trump reveals his new anti-fraud program set up to reward people who expose fraud with a 1% commission on the money uncovered. "If you turn somebody in and you, let's say report and you find $1 billion, we are giving a commission to that person of 1%."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
DOJ's published guidance caps individual whistleblower rewards at up to $30,000 per tip, not an uncapped 1% of fraud uncovered, with a total program fund of $25 million. A $1 billion fraud tip would not yield a $10 million payout under the official program rules. newsweek.com/trump-vance-of… foxnews.com/politics/trump…

i think the government should have to explain to children why a billionaire can receive public subsidies to build a data center while their elementary school needs them to sell chocolate bars

Every single person who says the DSA sent anthrax because an envelope says "DSA" on the outside needs to be banned from politics forever because they're too fucking stupid to exist.
