I think an important part of the Democrats' strategy going forward will be to remind people that Trump will be gone sooner, rather than later, and that there will be severe consequences for members of his regime both large and small.
The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy.

Your Big Ugly Bill imposed the largest cuts to health care in U.S. history, including over $900 billion in Medicaid cuts. Rural hospitals are already shutting down and reducing services as a result.
Tell Trump to stop hiding behind Truth Social and sit down with Democrats.

The reason the party base (Black and Jewish people) won't "listen to leftists and adopt a populist agenda" is b/c that agenda is steeped in racism and antisemitism. We will not vote to harm ourselves, period.

You guys can piss on this all you want but we really need to focus on the midterms and get as many quality Democrats we can in Congress. We have got to slow this shit down and start fixing this immediately.

From President Lyndon B. Johnson to the Smothers Brothers, who had a popular, bold, and very funny political satire TV show in the late '60s. I'm old enough to remember it.
They regularly skewered Johnson (Vietnam War era), and for all his faults, was elegant enough to respond thus.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

One of the many things I love about Kamala Harris is that she said “If I was a straight white man” vs “if HE was a straight man”. It may be missed by some-many politicians today would make it about his being gay not her not being a man. #KHive

Kamala Harris reveals why she didn't pick Pete Buttigieg as her running mate in 2024
He was her "first choice,” but “we were already asking a lot of America,” the former vice president and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee wrote.
