@MapleSyrupYummo @sahilkapur Them, and 270ish Republicans in Congress. Feel like that’s a pretty important point that gets left out way too often on this site.

@sahilkapur Golden and Fetterman have ensured more Americans die due to high costs associated with this war.

The House votes 212-212 (!) on a resolution to end the Iran war.
It fails.
3 Republicans vote YES: Barrett, Fitzpatrick, Massie
1 Democrat votes NO: Golden
Barrett, who virtually never bucks his party on big votes, says he flipped because the war has crossed the 60-day mark.

As an outsider to the region (and a Kentucky resident the last seven years), I have never understood Ohio residents insulting Cincinnati by saying it's in Kentucky.
Makes very little sense.

@sephius1999 He was literally in the most effective ad of the 2024 cycle for Republicans (the they/them spot).

CthaGod help contribute to all of this by both-siding everything and and calling Joe Biden old.
There is something to be said about having institutional knowledge about how government works and Biden had it.
Bidenomics worked!!!
...so well in fact, Trump is taking credit.

Charlamagne tha God: “I don’t care what Nicki Minaj thinks at a time like this. Trump’s tariffs got the cost of household goods through the roof, the war he got us in got gas prices through the roof, inflation is high, social services have been cut, people’s healthcare has been cut”

@drnifkin_OB @extra_GgGhost Hey, if you’re cool with Republicans dominating local/state/federal government because Democrats are meeting your purity test, just say that. I think that’s dumb as hell and you have blood on your hands for it, but it’s a free country. Just own what you are.
English
@greatavanscott @extra_GgGhost you coulda stopped at "i don't think"

Democrats don’t deserve to claim this. They fought this guy like hell

🚨 NEW: Zohran Mamdani to permanently fund NYC libraries and parks. Libraries will no longer have to plead for funding each year.

@drnifkin_OB @extra_GgGhost I don’t think you’re a normie, or have a grasp on what they want, I don’t think you should speak on their behalf. It’s fine if you hope people don’t vote D out of your own spite or whatever if it makes you feel good, but I think that’s sick and that you’re part of the problem.
English
@greatavanscott @extra_GgGhost if democrats want Normies to vote D then they better fucking listen. and if they don't i hope people will not vote for them. they serve us, not the other way around.
English
@drnifkin_OB @extra_GgGhost Fuck off with this nonsense - Dem bashing creates permission culture for normies to not vote D and it’s why Republicans dominate at every level of government. You’re handing the opposition Ws on a platter for social media clout. Sickening.
English
@jordanzakarin Another account blaming Democrats for things Democrats didn’t actually do. Shameful. With friends like these, you understand how it came to be that Republicans control everything in government.

Democrats' shameful surrender in Virginia gets more disastrous every single day

Senate Iran War Powers Resolution Fails 49-50 After Fetterman’s Lone Democratic ‘No’ Vote Blocks It

There's one (1) candidate who can rebuild the Obama coalition.

Favorability among black voters: AOC +33 (48/15) Newsom +22 (45/23) Pete +13 (35/22) Favorability among Hispanics: AOC +7 (48/41) Pete -1 (38/39) Newsom -8 (41/49) Favorability among Democrats: AOC +65 (74/9) Pete +56 (68/12) Newsom +50 (67/17)

@allenanalysis It wasn’t one vote that blocked it. It was 50. 1 Democrat, and 49! Republicans. Feels like that is some important context for the folks at home trying to keep balls and strikes here.
English
🚨BREAKING: The Senate just failed to end the Iran war.
49-50.
The one vote that blocked it: John Fetterman.
A Democrat.
English
The last 12 months of political discourse on this hellsite have included:
1) We can't elect Zohran Mamdani. He's a dangerous radical.
2) We can't talk to Hasan Piker. He's a dangerous radical.
3) We can't support Abdul El-Sayed. He's a dangerous radical (and a liar).
The truth? The people making each of these arguments are either racist, Republicans, bad faith, or all of the above.
English
@TradeUnionJake This is the biggest issue. I want him to win if he's the nominee. I'd vote for him. But the question came up in 2018, and now, and will again in the fall. And I'm worried he's already in weaker position in a general as is. I just want to win and I'm scared he'll lose.
English
Interesting thing about this non-practicing-doctor line of critique is that Abdul’s team must have known it was coming. It came up in 2018. Yet their response was flat-footed. El-Sayed’s team does not appear ready for the big show. Read the piece.

@KarthikForTexas So neutral that this was you, 2 weeks ago, before this story came out? Why do people lie on the internet when scrolling is so easy?

@FrederickDaBig @shibadad8 I'd say the same about leftists, how'd that "uncommitted" movement work out in 2024?
English
@greatavanscott @shibadad8 The irony as you imbeciles have sold out the country to MAGA and Trump.
English
@punished_shmuly @kaefair @MalloryMcMorrow Would be nice if he/his campaign/his supporters could have a coherent response now, because it’s going to keep coming up in the general and if he can’t answer it honestly he’s going to lose.
English
@greatavanscott @kaefair @MalloryMcMorrow Yeah no one cares. But I think you should keep crying about this meaningless semantic distinction
English
this is disgusting from @MalloryMcMorrow’s comms director
Mallory if you’re still an oomf—cut this shit out
for those who don’t know: he’s a literal MD PhD Rhodes Scholar and is super open about how seeing for-profit healthcare up close made him leave his clinical training
Hannah Lindow@hannahlindow
Abdul El-Sayed has made his supposed medical credentials a centerpiece of his campaign, but the truth is he never held a medical license, never did his residency, never passed the boards, and never practiced medicine independently. If Michigan voters can't trust El-Sayed to be honest about something that is so central to his entire rationale for running, how can they trust him to be honest about what he'd do as a United States Senator?
English
@punished_shmuly @kaefair @MalloryMcMorrow Is it too much to ask for a small acknowledgement that he should have tamped down any misunderstanding sooner and be honest?
English
@greatavanscott @kaefair @MalloryMcMorrow I think it rocks that this is the line you idiots think is going to convince voters “erm actually he’s technically not a clinical physician..” good luck with this
English
@CitrocityB @eternallyRaq Yeah, you're just wrong. That's okay, if you don't mind it. Facts are facts:
English
@greatavanscott @eternallyRaq He is a physician. lol you not understanding how a MD works is not his problem.
English
El-Sayed has an MD & a PhD?
It’s like, all you’re doing is letting people know your opponent is experienced and knowledgeable. He was a Rhodes Scholar! Executive director of Detroit’s Health Department!!! Assistant professor of the epidemiology department at Columbia University!
Abdul El-Sayed HQ@AbdulElSayedHQ
That’s DOCTOR to you. ☺️

@bennyjohnson A hero's welcome in China isn't the flex you think it is.
English
When Obama visited China, he was forced to exit off the “ass” of Air Force One because they didn’t even get stairs for him.
Trump just got a red carpet hero’s welcome with 300 students waving flags and chanting.
It feels good to be respected on the world stage again 🇺🇸
English
@eternallyRaq He literally calls himself a "Physician" in his linked profile. He is not a Physician, and never has been, nor could be hired to be one as it stands today - he is not licensed to practice medicine.
