It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
2026 can only get better. 2025 sure was a sh*t show.
Lawless, criminal behavior
That last point. Cassidy really has enormous leverage if he wants to use it. He would win this fight. Worst case is he winds up losing a primary and spends his 70s (he's 68 now) as a hero to millions. He'll likely never have as much influence over anything again as he has over this right now.
So good.
Massie: "There are a thousand survivors. They can't open enough investigations to cover up everything that's in these files."
Dems have a real future in generational talents like AOC and now Mamdani.
But instead of seizing on them, party leaders poo poo their ideas and damn them with faint praise about how they’ve energized young people *where they are* but aren’t really a model for anywhere else.
GOP doesn’t do this.
One of my favorites ❤️
Today was a very stupid day but I have faith tomorrow will be stupider
Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.
Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.
I would like to congratulate Senate Dems for seeing our recent landslide Democratic wins in elections across the country and taking it to mean fold, instantly.
agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish
Seriously.
House Republicans are afraid to do their jobs because they don’t want to swear in Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva, who would be the final person needed to force a floor vote on the Epstein files.
Swear her in. Stop the Republican shutdown. Release the files.
Congress must force him to "respect" their power. Congressional power is supposed to equal the executive power. If this Congress can't do it, we elect new members who can.
You don't get to wage war against your own country and expect a Nobel Peace Prize.
Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting:
Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial
100%
Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.
Remember, MSNBC fired Matthew Dowd a week ago, none of these networks are on your side. They want to make money and appear to have the ‘illusion of resistance’.
This kid is from my hometown, went to my high school. He is DEEPLY Mormon, more than alt-right. He's none of the things people are saying. He's cis, straight, white, conservative. He is a follower of Nick Fuentes. Stop it already.
MAGA needs to stop the gaslighting and just admit the truth - that this guy is one of their own.
I am so sick of their insane bullshit. It’s NOT the left using vitriolic rhetoric or calling for violence, it’s them. FFS Elon is sharing a doxxing list with millions of followers. They own this mess.
Pro tip to Laura Loomer who deleted this: The Internet is written in indelible ink.
The fact the Trump & WH scheduled a military flyover during the Epstein presser tells you all you need to know about how guilty he has always been. It was NO secret for a long time, that’s the really f*cked up part if u live on UES or spent more than 10 mins w Trump clan.
I have been banging this drum for six years.
Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social,
