Idea: what if Democrats did a daily briefing led by Stacey Abrams and @petebuttigieg.bsky.social and all the news outlets and wires, including @apnews.com, were invited. Media would be invited to call the Gulf of Mexico whatever they want and report on the press conference however they think is best

One way Trump plans to indefinitely hold onto power is by crushing competition. So, how do we preserve electoral competition? It takes more than just holding an election. Read and subscribe to the Entrenchment Agenda for the details:

The House GOP just passed a draconian budget resolution, but despite GOP misinformation, this is just a blueprint, not a final bill. That means there’s still time to push back against proposed Medicaid cuts and tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what you need to know. 👇
The Budget Blueprint Is No 'Big, Beautiful Bill'
At best, it’s a concept of a plan. But then they’ll try to spin it to voters.

I suppose the thought was there is a symmetry for the 1st baby born on #EastEnders in 1985 to die on #EastEnders40 in 2025. As much as I hate that Martin was killed off, I can appreciate how brilliant that episode was💔💜 BRAVO @bbceastenders! #TogetherAgain

I would suggest actively boycotting the companies who are the biggest advertisers on X. Elon has a big debt held by several big banks that he is paying 11% on. If he loses advertisers the banks will get the jitters. Rich people need credit to get richer. Stop buying from these and write to their CEO

Trump's Immigration Scare Tactics are a Huge Waste of Money
Retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling joins Ben Parker to discuss his latest piece in The Bulwark detailing the incredible expensive and wasteful spending on military jets for Donald Trump’s deportations, and how Trump’s extreme and unrealistic plan to send migrants to Guantanamo Bay would be both immensely expensive and enormously inhumane.

The United States is under attack. Elon Musk—who has been elected to nothing and is a deeply troubled person—is literally destroying our government from the inside and doing so without authority or consent of the governed. Working on a report on this right now. It’s an emergency.
