They sent a letter! POW! Asking for a meeting! BAM! To discuss a path forward! BOOM! To keep funding Trump’s takeover! ZAP!
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., have sent a letter to Trump requesting a meeting to discuss a path forward to keep the government open past the September 30th funding deadline.
Schumer, Jeffries request meeting with Trump ahead of potential government shutdown
The request comes after the U.S. Senate rejected a stopgap measure that would have kept the government open another few weeks.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany.
But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

Democrats stop being terrified of being called a socialist challenge.
They’re going to call you one regardless. When they do say “Yes, that’s right, unlike Republicans I think American society should be defended and nurtured, not demolished by bigots and sold by billionaires and bosses.”

Every elected Democrat will acknowledge that the GOP has held an overwhelming media advantage since at least Obama. Somehow they fail to make the connection that everyone who's weathered a competitive election was *successfully* painted as trans Stalin gay married to Pelosi, and they won anyway
