20 years ago Bush presented an existential threat to the US. Voters repudiated him in a blue wave and elected Obama 2 years later. He refused to prosecute criminals in the Bush admin and Wall St. Then we got Trump. If they get away with it again, next time we'll get someone worse

Gimme three months and his golf buddies in Florida wouldn’t even vote for him. I’ll smoke him by 7. Bet on it.

This Tanning-bed Thiel is a far-right operative who has infiltrated the Democratic Party and is now proactively undercutting their victories. If he is allowed to set the agenda for the Democrats, we're going to get worse than Trump in '28 or '32, or in perpetuity
NEW: Meet incoming speaker Hakeem Jeffries’ donors: Anduril and Palantir executives, Wall Street investors, crypto lobbyists, and donors funneling contributions through AIPAC. We followed the money behind Hakeem Jeffries. readsludge.com/2026/11/04/th…

He's already kinging out
🚨 JUST IN: Michigan Senate-elect Abdul El-Sayed declined to endorse Chuck Schumer as the next Senate majority leader. “I’m interested to see, working with the rest of our caucus, what options we’ve got.”

Just a reminder that Hakeem Jeffries came out against Medicare for All literally just days after a study found that it would save 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year

The Democratic Party is extremely compromised by high placed right-wing operators (e.g., H Stevens). These people are just full blood Republicans who have spent their lives infiltrating and sabotaging the Dem Party. The party needs to purge them before it'll do any good

We're going to keep hearing stories like this until the executives of these cancerous corporations start facing prison time. Financial penalties on the companies are not enough
Major chemical companies knew plastic particles could infiltrate human tissue and remained silent for decades as they accumulated in our bodies, according to a Stanford epidemiologist who reviewed internal industry memos obtained by The Times. Read the full story latimes.com/environment/stor…

Hey Dems we want a vibe that’s Mamdani + vindictive. We want effective leadership that gets shit done and improves people’s lives. And we want to see the fucking traitors face consequences. Do both.

Democrats must be absolutely ruthless now. No “healing the nation”. No “moving on”, no “reconciliation”, no “bridging the gaps”. No “if they go low, we go high”. No Obamism. Subpoena, impeach, prosecute, imprison. Trumpism is criminal & should be treated as such. - AshMordant

These are obvious right-wing operatives speaking from the right—see Ygghead below implying GOP is better on energy/crime/taxes—but they're Dems or branded Dem-leaning. These aren't just stupid people. They know what wins and what loses and they try to get Dems to do what loses

Matt Yglesias thinks that Haley Stevens is too far left. This is clarifying in terms of situating Yglesias on the political spectrum.

Americans have given the democrats a mandate to crush the republicans. There can be no “we must work together”. They spent the past two years making everybody’s life miserable, sending ICE to torment our coworkers and neighbors. There must be a reckoning.
