Every other senator votes down reducing the cost of prescription drugs and these assholes say Bernie is the one who sucks because he’s not better friends with all of them.
Profoundly unserious people.

It's morbidly hilarious that Scrooge was written as the most comically cruel businessman that a Victorian could come up with and the modern ruling class identifies with him so much that they're doing puff pieces about how he's just misunderstood.
Ti West says that Scrooge uses logic & good arguments against others in his movie ‘EBENEZER’.
“As his Scrooge cuts someone down verbally or as he makes a financial point or withdraws, you do understand why he’s doing it.”

Y’all remember when Dems forced a gov’t shut down over ACA credits then caved after they were promised the topic would be revisited at a later date but later never came and everyone’s premiums doubled ?
That’s was under his leadership 👇
I welcome any discussion about the future of our caucus and the important work ahead. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together—55 seats and counting is an amazing result—and I have the votes to continue serving as Democratic Leader.
I look forward to leading our new Democratic majority and delivering for the American people.

“substantial steps toward bringing about” is killing me
BREAKING: Leader @HakeemJeffries announces bold new Democratic agenda:
“We need to take substantial steps toward bringing about universal healthcare — so that every single American in this country can afford to go see a doctor when they need one.
We’ve got to get big money out of politics and end Citizens United.
We have to prohibit members of Congress from trading stock.
We plan to deliver meaningful, bold, transformational change for the American people.”

Certain subset of people exists today who think music doesn’t need to sound good or interesting, it should be judged as a diary entry based on if you like the artist as a public figure or not. If the person’s story resonates with you, liking the album becomes a moral obligation.

Gaza is a the modern nazi human experimentation for giant tech fascists and arms dealers where advanced military occupation, border control, and surveillance techniques are tested and exported. Gaza is the peak of western’s civilization in the most dystopian sense.

Your landlord is taking half your salary, the government is spending your taxes on wars, your boss is pocketing the profits you and your colleagues are laboring for, but instead of fighting them y'all want to fight immigrants and trans people because you are bootlicking cowards.

Robbie Williams defends Olivia Rodrigo after she was accused of copying his song “Candy” with “take me home (4 christmas)”:
“Artists deserve to be protected. But there’s a difference between protecting your work and treating every vaguely familiar sequence of notes as a winning lottery ticket. It sounds to me as though she may have accidentally stumbled across a musical echo of mine in one of her new songs. And do you know what? I couldn’t care less. I don’t know whether there’s technically a publishing issue, a copyright issue, or no issue whatsoever. And I don’t want to know. I’m not going after her. Because I think at some point, some f**king sanity has to prevail […] We all stand on the shoulders of people who came before us. Sometimes consciously. Sometimes without even knowing it. That’s how music works. If we keep punishing people for accidentally arriving somewhere somebody else has already been, eventually we’re going to frighten the creativity out of everyone.”

I don’t want “revenge”. I want the people who have been openly, gleefully destroying the country, and breaking the law throughout, to be held legally accountable and prosecuted, which is the bare minimum for maintaining a functioning democracy. Incidentally, I also want revenge

The argument that there was too much attention given to Michigan race is rich coming from Neera Tanden, who incessantly posted about it far more than almost anyone. She did this with the goal of sabotaging El-Sayed's campaigning by elevating Hasan Piker as a election issue and by repeatedly calling for greater efforts to assuage the wounded pride of Haley Stevens (a flake who ended up endorsing Mike Rogers).

some view the need for prosecutions of the trump rogues gallery as “revenge”, and don’t get me wrong i love some righteous revenge, but it’s a 100% necessary and practical step to take if you want any semblance of pretending you live in a society with a functioning government.
