Just so we’re ALL clear: the President of the United States made death threats toward sitting Democratic members of Congress.
But they’re always claiming Democrats are the dangerous ones, right?

PERSPECTIVE: A standup comedian just showed Democrats how to fix their messaging problems and one joke might hold the key, writes David Litt, a former White House speechwriter who now works as a comedy writer.

Joe Lombardo is silent while Donald Trump is again suing to avoid sending food to hungry children.
Lombardo won’t stand up to Trump. I’m taking Trump to court and fighting for Nevada families.

Run for senate! The nation needs your energy.
If only the Speaker put half as much energy into governing as he does into avoiding work.
He still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva, people are hungry, planes are grounded, and Republicans are on vacation.
They’re showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.

#dems better not cave. This is a GOP created problem. They never honor their promises.
Democrats are torn over reopening the government without guarantees on Obamacare subsidies.
Obamacare subsidy negotiations are heating up. But trust is breaking down.
A scheduled Friday vote to move ahead on a government funding deal comes as Democrats are still uncertain about how to move a health care deal forward.

If you are a Democratic senator watching these results and the lesson you take is "I should cave and help Republicans reopen the government for nothing more than a promise written on toilet paper" then you shouldn't be in the Senate anymore
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

What are you doing? Why would you vote with the GOP? They are not negotiating in good faith. The House refuses to sit an elected Dem. The admin is not following any of the funding bills the congress passes. The admin DOJ, DHS, and FBI are out or control.
Stop enabling.
