  • I would say the last time they existed was the 1970s when Nixon agreed to create an EPA he really didn't want to that had fewer powers than its supporters really wanted. The 90s only seemed smooth because scumbag Clinton gave Republicans everything they wanted on welfare reform, criminal justice, telecom deregulation, intellectual property laws, and international trade.

    And we still got Gingrich and the contract with America and Ken Starr and Sore Loserman for being so conciliatory

  • Interestingly, only young Trump supporters in our study became more likely to vote after Trump’s first election.

    This is your country on neoliberal Democratic party leadership

    e; and unchecked voter suppression laws coming out of Republican state governments (but as to who that check will be, see my original comment)

  • Roberts rejects Trump's call for impeaching judge who ruled against his deportation plans

    Jump

  • I don't see how people are seeing that Roberts statement as a rejection of Trump. He didn't say Trump's name or call out anything specific Trump's done and he's demonstrated that he's perfectly capable of doing that

    Roberts then issued a rare public rebuke, according to Fox News.

    “This morning, Senator Schumer spoke at a rally in front of the Supreme Court while a case was being argued inside. Senator Schumer referred to two Members of the Court by name and said he wanted to tell them that ‘You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You will not know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,'” the statement said

    “Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort [blah blah blah]

  • Republican town hall drowned out by "tax the rich" chants

    Jump

  • I searched for "mike flood town hall" filtering out results after November of 2024 and found a bunch of news stories across 2023 and 2024 talking about him holding townhalls but never found any saying that he'd had a bunch of people show up to yell at him. Seems like whatever this is it's something different.

  • Why the hell is a guy who resigned in disgrace even getting ANY support right now.

    Because the dollars of this country that are available to be donated to political campaigns are largely held by dirtbags and I'm guessing those dirtbags know a bunch of other skeletons that are in Cuomo's closet which could be broken out if he ever tried to defy them

    Chief Justice Rebukes Trump - Calls Impeaching Judges Over Rulings Improper | NYT

    Jump

  • “For more than two centuries,” the chief justice said, “it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

    Translation: "Quit saying quiet parts out loud and get into my courtroom so I can rubber-stamp this and we can all go back to pretending this is a constitutional republic"

  • Chuck Schumer postpones book tour due to 'security concerns' amid funding bill backlash

    Jump

  • Can Tim Walz also cast all of his votes in the Senate and attend any hearings for him? Also, do all of his official press releases and conferences. Oh, and also walk his dog for him and be a father to Schumer's children for him. That should hopefully bring us down close to a tolerable amount of Chuck Schumer.

  • I don't know about that, think about what Schumer would be willing to do for the donors who laundered their normal bribes to him by picking up a couple dozen copies and getting him up the bestseller lists

  • Well, congratulations and welcome to the club of people who have had their friends or family members touched by the violent action of officers of the United States of America, lots of new members added every day unfortunately. Go read something from Amnesty International while you still can and think about your life choices.

  • Soon even citizenship won't be enough to stop people who ICE doesn't like the look of from getting deported, if it hasn't happened already.

    Does a ten year old citizen whose parents were undocumented getting thrown out of the US alongside her parents count? Because I saw a news story about that happening recently.

  • DOGE slashes 10,000 USPS jobs leaving Democrats outraged

    Jump

  • FWIW, the vast majority of Democratic lawmakers didn't, House and Senate combined only 10 did. That being said, nine of those were in the Senate, which they knew was the only place where their votes possibly could have mattered.

    So, yeah, after this debacle any of them who don't start demanding Schumer be removed from his leadership positions are at least going to look like they only voted against this for show once they knew it had the votes to pass. I'm pretty sure they only need a majority of Dems to replace their caucus leader, so if everyone who voted against this budget was actually serious about it they'd have more than enough votes to publicly rebuke this shit in a convincing way.

  • No, that's factually synonymous with what this article is stating, just a difference in presentation.

    To rephrase Kaine's comment with this article's perspective
