The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

a big problem here is the way every scrap of a claim about Democrats supposedly selling out gets hyped and inflated, and then even when it turns out to be untrue people remember it as having happened, or as having almost happened. Builds bad mental models.
the post everyone got mad about for two hours has been updated turns out it's the opposite actually

The resistance I see in every video from Minnesota is inspiring. Regular people are standing up to heavily armed fucks who have no regard for human life; no moral compass; no true desire beyond harming other people.

this is wildly illegal and the courts will rule it such, but congressional democrats should be thinking long and hard about the terms under which they will agree to continue funding this government

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

this was also consensus opinion for center-right types after george floyd’s murder five years ago. the state media apparatus will be working overtime the next few weeks to reprogram them
Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”

“We never did that and we’ll do it again”
we know regime playbooks here: smear the deceased, target the family, valorize the murderer both as supposedly innocent and with a sadistic delight in the murder itself.
I have an awful feeling they’re going to target the bereaved

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

I want to find the consultant who convinced Dems to stick with this framing, tie them to a stake, light a match, and tell everyone they have to decide between caring about saving them or caring about milk being 2% cheaper
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

Thinking about the libertarians who insisted, prior to the election, that Trump was the "hold your nose and vote for him over Harris" candidate because, among other things, he'd practice more foreign policy restraint.

“What’s your plan for the Court?” is the only question that matters for 2028 Democratic hopefuls, because if they don’t, the Republican Super Legislature is hatcheting their agenda before it can get off the ground.
