Underwood does the work. And I mean all kinds of work.
Team Underwood had a great time packing 15,000 meals for families across Northern Illinois. The Big Ugly Bill has rippled through our community, and neighbors have lost access to SNAP benefits. If you need help (or want to help), please visit solvehungertoday.org

do people understand that Alito's definitely going to retire within Trump's term and that's why the Senate is important? these people were alive in 2016, right? do they want Trump to appoint another goddamn Kavanaugh so things get worse, and if they do not want that, why are they acting like they do

This is the guy who's most notable act as the mayor of Chicago was trying, and failing, to gain the support of the police department by covering up them shooting a child in the back sixteen times. That is the story of both his morals and his judgement. President? Never.
Starting my day with @ifbookspod.bsky.social letting me know that Politico wants us to be clear: Rahm Emmanuel eats salads just like the rest of us, but harder

Hey, "Do Somethings." You want something done? Vote enough Democrats in if you want justice for these victims. Do something yourself for once.
Why does Donald Trump so desperately want everyone to stop talking about the Files? Our latest report traces explicit accounts involving 11 women who directly implicate him in Epstein’s crimes and network. So, yes, stop talking about the Files if you want to protect the President from the truth.

Now their descendants refuse to believe their beloved family members could really be racist enough to immiserate the country, the entire planet, just to hurt black people worse. No, it's just rich people brainwashing, no way gutter bigotry is grandma's bedrock politics bsky.app/profile/mc-h...
A load bearing mythos of pop leftism is that the Dems used to be good and for the working man and then embraced neoliberalism so the working man got sold out, instead of "white America as a whole turned on the Dems after the Civil Rights Act and began tearing down their own commons and prosperity"

The “something” in question was the workers themselves deciding by 1966 that they no longer wanted New Dealer welfare capitalism if it meant black Americans would benefit from it while anti-war protesters were free to burn the flag
Something happened in the 70's that crystallized politics (and many other topics) into a new set of assumptions and priors. It gave rise to Reaganism and completely crushed New Deal Socialism; Dems that eventually reemerged were and still are centrists scared of their own shadows.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

Yeah, I'd like to not care much who was in charge of Brazil but when one of the choices is a Nazi party allied with people in my nation's government I kind of have to.
The outcome of various federal elections in Germany in 1932 and 1933 actually turned out to be fairly relevant to those outside the country!

New in PN: Ramaswamy discovers that voters have their limits "This is the nature of today’s right-wing bubble, whose residents are not only acculturated to a particular political style — cruel, often hateful — but become convinced it’s the only effective way to do politics, & any other way is weak"
I mean... it's not like Trump has exploited religious imagery to make himself look holy and righteous in the past... who could have guessed?

if only there had been a way to predict this might happen based on nearly every midterm election cycle in modern american political history

Anyone who is trying to avoid placing blame on the voters who allowed this OBVIOUSLY unfit person to be president doesn't really believe in democracy. The whole point of democracy is that it is the VOTERS who determine who is in power. Voters f**ked up, so Trump is president again. Fact.
