Hello, @fladems.bsky.social ?
I'm so anxious about the end of Gene Dodaro's term 😬
I do think one think that Trump and the broader right wing political movement have been successful about is convincing lots of people that the only real accountability are elections (at least when they win). They are lots of forms of govt accountability!

"Unelected Bureaucrats" Are More Accountable Than You Think
Democratic accountability takes many forms other than elections

Find good candidates that can promote Dem policies and watch the wins roll in. So simple!
This November, @thedlcc.bsky.social:
✅Flipped 13 Virginia House seats blue
✅Created a Dem supermajority in the New Jersey Assembly
✅Broke the GOP supermajority in the Mississippi Senate
✅Defended the Dem majority in the Minnesota Senate
Here’s how we did it: 🧵

It’s amazing how many kids’ picture books seem to get published without anyone ever once reading them out loud. Just total meter/rhythm fails.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!
Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.
