Democrats' stance since J6 should have been total non-cooperation with Republicans until they go back to following the Constitution. Has only gotten worse since then.
Legal formalism and demands for bipartisanship are completely at odds with correctly noting Trump's threat to democracy.

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass
Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.
Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?
Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?
Kavanaugh in a footnote in today's opinion says "the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity."

Anyone with these opinions is not fit to lead or be in a position to of influence because it displays incredibly bad judgement! We cannot keep elevating people who are clearly out of touch!
"It is logically impossible to simultaneously be evil, corrupt, and incompetent" is an absolutely amazing take to have in the year of 2025

16. This is the reverse of getting off middle eastern oil in 2012. Now, instead of decoupling from global volatility we are absorbing it. That gets quantified whenever a major US LNG export facility has an outage & domestic NG prices fall. Who ya rootin' for, Matt? www.eia.gov/todayinenerg....

Yglesias wants to take us backwards to the stale coal vs. natural gas fights of the 2000s that anchor the climate debate in fossil fuels. The debate must move forwards, beyond fossil fuels that corrupt our politics, drive inflation, harm public health, & foul our climate, air & water, public lands.

Obama, Canada, and Norway all were more interested in pleasing oil and gas interests than doing what is in the best interests and that's why Democrats shouldn't listen to this bullshit.

I should just add, for the record: Reiner was worth 1000 Kirks. He was a creative dynamo, a deeply decent human being, a force for philanthropy & pro-social values. Kirk was a small-minded, resentful, thumb-faced grifter who made the world worse by spreading his resentments.

Some pundits claim replacing climate with affordability messages is the way for Dems to win. But climate is driving unaffordability (like with home insurance), voters trust Dems on climate, & solution exist that center people not CEOs. That’s a layup. @newrepublic.com

Here’s the Climate Message That Can Help Democrats Win Big in 2026
Rising home insurance costs are making life unaffordable for both homeowners and renters. Robust climate policy and public disaster insurance could save many households’ finances.

As sa life long Spurs fan and Trump hater I welcome y'all.
Look all I'm saying is that it's gonna make the WH so fucking mad if the Spurs win the championship because the star of the team is French and a significant portion of their fanbase is Latino. If you're looking for a team to root for strictly on the basis of schadenfreude you can do worse than SA

Just a reminder that this mfer was not born here and yet is singling out American citizens who are black and brown as a problem becuase they get to vote. White supremacy is THE reason we're where we are in this country and until we deal with it we'll never actually progress.
