I don’t get why shortsighted investors would sell off NVIDIA because Jensen Huang was outed as a moron philanderer who probably committed espionage. For all we know, he could be the next President of the United States.

My most Catholic trait is that I believe you should never, ever regard yourself as a good person. This is where hubris and fallibility arises

If Peltola holds on in Alaska, D-held Senate delegations will actually occupy more territory (in square miles) than R ones. About 34% D, 30% R, 36% split. Before the election it was 63% R, 33% D, 4% split.

They’re not trying to defeat MAGA, they’re trying to buy politicians to make sure they’re left alone by the government, whichever party is in power. You obviously know this but you choose to mislead and gaslight.
One of my political takes is that the people who give money to help beat Trump and the MAGA movement are the good guys not the bad guys.

Elections have consequences. But so does policy. Both 2024 and 2026 were about the resounding failure of the party elites to govern for anyone besides wealthy donors. We simply cannot allow Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to defang our majority before anyone is even sworn in.

Hasan Piker calls for Chris Van Hollen to run against Chuck Schumer for Senate Majority Leader "I think he would be a fantastic Senate Majority Leader"

It's tempting to say that this is a battle between centrists and leftists. It's not. It is a battle to wrest control of the Democratic Party from the state of Israel.

I simply don't understand why it is that the Democratic Party is so hellbent on cutting the people out of the decision about who is to lead our party in the chambers of Congress. We delivered giant majorities to the party, not to Jeffries and Schumer. Stop putting ego over party.
The most weak-ass Pelosi shit I've ever heard. Just like the rest of her political career, she is utterly inept and fails to rise to the occasion.
You've got to be kidding

Merge the applications for all federal benefit programs in one central portal that informs you all programs you are eligible for and creates one application process.
What is an unsexy policy that if passed would immediately help millions of people?

I'm losing my fucking mind about this. We had the votes to impeach Hegseth and y'all didn't fucking show up. This is insane. This is literally your only job. Fucking resign if you can't be bothered to do your damn job.
Insane that 11 Democrats couldn't even bother to show up for an impeachment vote after the actual voters rejected the Iran War. What is going on?

Actually, I had back surgery yesterday and checked myself out of the hospital this morning to make sure I voted to IMPEACH Hegseth. He’s the most incompetent & immoral SecDef in history and he needs to go!

If I were one of the 11 Democratic Congresspersons who failed to show up to vote on the impeachment of Pete Hegseth, I would strongly consider picking a different line of work.
She has my vote.
NEW in Playbook: In just 12 hours after launching, @Ready4AOC is already operational in all 50 states with organizers around the country:
Hegseth says the impeachment is a “political spectacle.” Like, bro, Massie is a Republican who isn’t coming back to Congress in January. This is like, as apolitical as it gets.

Beat the shit out of em, Sarah
Vibes in DC are excellent & my colleagues and I are ready to deliver on an aspirational affordability agenda and aggressive accountability to lower costs, end the war in Iran, and hold the crooks responsible. Step one: impeaching Pete Hegseth.
