Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

This is YOU, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social. I’m a Connecticut constituent and if you don’t immediately call for Schumer’s replacement, I’ll be disgusted.
Any Democratic senator, at any moment, could've derailed this by calling for Schumer's replacement and casting their colleagues as MAGA collaborators, thereby shifting the Overton window. But they're all in on it. This was always a team effort.

The purpose of a system is what it does. And if the rules of procedure allow people to starve, they're wrong.

Larry Flynt could have turned this into a viable business.
What would you think if a company
- pivots to pornography production
- asks for government loan guarantees
- asks for massive tax breaks
and does all this in a period of one month?
If you know that company loses two dollars for every dollar of revenue… how would that impact your analysis?

Federal agents forbidding faith leaders from praying sounds like a violation of religious freedom.
But then I remember that “religious” means “white Christian identity politics,” and “freedom” means “Christian nationalists’ unrestricted ability to impose their beliefs on others.”

DirectFile, free covid tests via USPS, child tax credit: federal programs that worked and benefited ordinary people and therefore had to be ended in case everyone got used to it
It sucks because Direct File was one of the first times a lot of people ever had a positive experience using a government website or service.
IRS Direct File dies a sad, quick death after only a brief time among the living.
Why? It's not because it's a bad idea or that it didn't work.
It's because TurboTax's parent company spent decades trying to make sure they controlled the e-filing market:
