Honestly astonishing that the same Bluesky people who believe AOC, an isolationist who has voted against every single US military budget,will/should be president
Also apparently believes that she will do a regime change invasion of El Salvador because we don’t like their elected leader

for 9 months unemployment on a minimum wage job was $1k because of dems passing CARES, then ARPA extended it 6 months and reduced it by $200 along with $250-$300 per kid per month if making less than ~$115k. 3 months after arpa passed congressional approval among dems went from 60’s into the 30’s

This is easy to post, but - Bukele is *incredibly* popular. Probably the single most popular politician on the planet. He could be a dictator if he wanted, but doesn’t need to
He is also a fascist
What do we do with this? What is the liberal, democratic approach here?

Dems need to make it very clear that Bukele will end up like Noriega once they are back in power

IF Garcia is even still alive, Trump knows he can't allow him back into the country because he will immediately become ALL THE NEWS. His only move as far as he's concerned is letting Garcia rot and die, which he almost certainly will fight to do to the bitter end.
This is a turning point moment.

Don't overlook this: Trump is leaving Abrego Garcia to rot in a foreign gulag even though the admin can always bring him back and *retry him for deportation in a lawful way.* That they won't do this shows their case against him is nonsense.

Trump’s Horrifying Removal of Man in “Error” Takes an Even Darker Turn
The Trump administration could allow Kilmar Abrego Garcia back into the U.S. and try to deport him through proper channels. So why won’t it even do that?

Still surreal that the Palestinian movement actively campaigned for Trump even as he openly said he would deport or jail them. Then with the war still going on, they disbanded in celebration after his victory

this will be the GOP playbook in future elections across the country. just find any pretext to throw out ballots in heavily democratic counties, doesn't matter what, and let friendly courts legitimize it
🚨NEW: The NC Supreme Court's GOP majority will retroactively nullify 2,000 to 7,000 ballots from military and overseas voters unless they quickly prove their identity—but only those who voted in a few Democratic counties.

yes, but people have managed! Erdogan appointed his idiot son in law to run the turkish central bank, did literally the exact opposite of good policy, caused thousand percent inflation in the lira, and so far paid little political price
you can have cult of personality-based authoritarian consolidation or you can blow up the economy and make everyone’s lives noticeably worse but it’s difficult to see how you manage both
things will probably go to shit, but i suspect that Trumpist consolidation will not work primarily because almost every successful regime consolidation we've seen involves buying off the middle class

The insider trading shit is a good angle and I’m glad dems are going with it, because it’s simple enough to be easily comprehensible and just straight up corruption.

TL;DR: The new U.S. tariff rate against our two largest trading partners is either 10%, 25% or 35%, and so far no one I've reached out to at the White House is able to tell me which.
So the White House says the 10% baseline tariff also applies to Canada & Mexico. It has not said whether that's the effective new rate itself; whether it adds to the 25% fentanyl tariff, making the new rate 35%; or whether it kicks in only if the fentanyl tariff falls away

the CCP is ideologically anti welfare to an extent that would be unthinkable even among conservatives in the west. And this is a common thread among communist regimes - somebody getting welfare is seen as a parasite, leeching off of the workers and stealing from the Party

This is true, and it’s an enormous shame on the left that they spent all their energy saying we were doing nothing. We had the most generous pandemic response in the entire world, and every progressive journalist and influencer was posting about how Australia totally did more
I think very few people even among the politically informed have internalized how CRAZY an exception CARES was to the US policy tradition. for awhile there our unemployment system was like an *order of magnitude* more generous to low-income people than any Nordic country
another thing that bears repeating is that i bet people's expectations for government response to a recession are extremely high (CARES/HEROES) and we are just *not* getting that

this sounds very impressive and people are retweeting and liking it as such, ignoring of course the *minor* fact that when canvassing you are knocking on the doors *of democrats*. Surgically targeted high propensity to vote democrats! No shit they are watching!
Just kicked off a canvass in Germantown, Wisconsin, in deep-red Washington County. As the volunteers and I spoke, Cory Booker's filibuster was on in the background.
His act of courage and resistance is the backdrop in Wisconsin to a day when voters are standing in defiance. An inspiration.
