Hillary Clinton: “We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.”
Imagine being such a degenerate piece of scum that the first thing you thing of after a tragedy is how it can further your agenda.
“Can I phone a friend?“
“… do you HAVE any friends?”
Republicans most likely:
W-w-we d-didn't g-g-get to t-take aw-away p-p-p-people's H-h-h-healthcare.
mccain is still trash so jot that down

Lying fucking pile of orange shit
“SUCKERS!!!!” –Donald J. Trump, 7/26/17
Those of us who paid attention knew he was lying, especially with the hateful way he always snarled the term LGBT when speaking.
This is the funniest tweet I’ve read all week.
lolololololol
The President Of The United States tweets like a teenager trying to start drama. “This week has been VERY educational in letting me know who my real friends are. People I thought I knew have really revealed themselves. It just goes to show you can’t trust anyone.”
But his emails!
Donny Jr is also trying to normalize this whole thing…but his meeting is not normal. (”oppo” is short for “opposition research”)
President Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., agreed to meet with someone he believed to be a “Russian government attorney” last summer after receiving an email offering him “very high level and sensitive information” that would “incriminate” Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, according to emails the younger Trump publicly released on Tuesday.
The email, from publicist Rob Goldstone, claimed the information was part of “Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump."Goldstone subsequently offered to set up a meeting with a "Russian government attorney” to discuss the information.
Goldstone, who represents the son of an Azerbaijani-Russian businessman close to the Russian government, claimed in an email to Trump Jr. in June 2016 that a top Russian prosecutor had offered the father “some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia.”
Trump Jr. has changed his story several times since the Times first reported on the rendezvous with the Russian attorney. At first, he offered no indication that the meeting was in any way tied to an offer of damaging information against Clinton until The Times uncovered additional motives behind Trump Jr.’s decision to accept the meeting.

Carrying water for the Trump family is the GOP ‘squad goals’. Utterly insane use of political capital.
BUT ARE YOU SICK OF WINNING YET JAMIE?!?!?!?
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
continue calling!!!! its working!!!!!
I was at an art museum and I saw this painting from 1625. It’s by Gerrit van Honthorst and is called “Smiling Girl, a Courtesan, Holding an Obscene Image,” and it basically is every person on this website.
I love this so much. I’m just imagining her giggling and saying “butts”
i’ve literally seen this painting at the museum twice now and i scream EVERY TIME. she is ICONIC!
So Rand Paul thinks that none of them would have survived if it hadn’t been for Capitol Police, but doesn’t understand why other people, who don’t have highly trained law enforcement shadowing them at all times for example, are maybe more than just a little afraid at the gun epidemic in this country… cool cool cool cool.
So a lone wolf gunman fired at a bunch of Republicans playing softball today.
Lucky thing they have good health insurance.*
*This terrible joke brought to you by the kids shot at schools.
Since Macron’s party just scored a massive parliamentary win, I expect all the pundits will be saying how Democrats should learn to be more centrist and run young bankers. Any minute now. Aaaannnnyyyyy minute now.
While you typed that, Twitter just shit out 30 more thinkpieces about how Corbyn losing in the U.K. means Bernie would’ve won.
So, what can people do?*
Healthcare Edition (June 8, 2017):
We had a fun/absurd national moment watching Comey testify today, but now that’s over and as citizens there’s basically nothing we can do to affect the Russia investigation (unless you’re plotting a honeypot mission to Mar-a-Lago in which case: godspeed, heroines). But we CAN do something about (one of) the other terrible thing(s) happening, which is Mitch McConnell wrangling the ACA repeal through the Senate.
Remember when the House passed a monstrosity of a health care bill and we were all sure it was DOA in the Senate? Reports suggest not much has changed in the Senate version of that bill which, even though it doesn’t exist yet (or does and is being kept under wraps), good ol’ Mitch has taken steps to fast-track (skipping committee and going directly on the Senate Calendar for a vote). Ben Wikler has put out the all-call; if you prefer your action on Twitter, this is the link.
–> We need another sustained public outcry against taking a health care bill to the Senate floor that bears any resemblance at all to the House bill.
HERE’S YOUR TO-DO LIST:
1. Program the Capitol switchboard # into your phone: (202) 224-3121
2. Make as many calls as you possibly can every day. Set a phone reminder.
3. Recruit friends from these states to call. ALL reps need their phone lines tied up, but these reps could be the swing votes.
4. Ask for the Health Legislative Assistant for your senator. Here are their names! TELL YOUR STORY. Or your dad/grandma/sister/friend’s story. Healthcare touches us all. It’s their job to listen to this stuff specifically.
5. Go to your local Congressional office: demand to be seen, wait there, take photos and videos, post them online. Don’t wait to see the wave of action to be inspired–start the wave yourself. Everybody can be a hero every day in the Age of Trump.
6. Get creative! Get tambourines and a bullhorn. Make loud signs. Bedazzle your jean jacket with “Save the ACA.” Or just pick up the phone. We are all GLOBALLY EXHAUSTED, and it hasn’t even been 5 months. But we have the power to make enough noise to break through the insanity out there [& in our brains] and make sure health policy remains humane, and represents the best of America, not the worst.

WHAT A GOOD POST, and what a good thread by Ben Wikler.
HELLO EVERYONE!!! MY GOD WE’RE SO TIRED, BUT PUTTING IN WORK ACTUALLY HELPS US BE LESS TIRED, OR AT LEAST THE SAME TIRED IN A GOOD WAY. MITCH MCCONNELL STILL WANTS TO FAST-TRACK THE AHCA THROUGH THE SENATE WHICH WILL LITERALLY KILL MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. Inform him, his colleagues and allies that that would be a mistake.
Bill Maher continues to be a racist misogynist and far-left white “progressives” keep looking the other way because they rather applaud a joke about slavery with an overtly racist use of the n-word than shake up the growing foothold they’ve gained in democratic politics. The white majority selling people of color down the river for political expediency and party unity? What’s new?
It is the consummate Bernout mentality in post-Trump politics. Respecting the concerns, or in this case just the basic humanity, of people of color has come to be seen as dead weight that can be easily jettisoned because at the end of the day it doesn’t help them win back the Rust Belt voters that they lost to Trump in 2016. They wanna give a wink and a nod to the same racism that Trump rode in on, shit on “political correctness” a little to establish themselves as one of the boys, and they’re betting that people of color won’t be going anywhere because who else is gonna even pretend to care about us? Republicans?
The shift is subtle. Jokes like this, comments like Bernie’s about how women’s reproductive rights aren’t absolutely necessary to be welcome as a progressive, and at the end of the day what you’ve got is a political platform that is geared towards the same exact racist white voters that gave us Trump, but with a liberal economic twist.
she came for his fucking life, jesus christ
