“If Jeanne Shaheen or Angus King, or ideally just Chuck Schumer, went to the mics and said: We have tried everything we can to make Republicans give you back your health care. They refuse to do so. The only way you’re going to get your health care back is to elect Democrats.”

Now that Dems have capitulated, at the very least they should now make every future extension of funding contingent on Trump following the law. Any lawbreaking must be met with: No more votes from us, period.

My exchange with @brianbeutler.bsky.social on that point:

No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 19h

“Standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She asks ‘What’s the point of standards?’

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

I can't find the specific episode, but I'm pretty sure you're talking about the "I've had it" podcast with Jennifer Welch.

Per several reports in Israeli media the former IDF AG is hospitalized following an attempted suicide earlier today. Very few details, but she's apparently conscious and in stable condition.

Omri Marian @omrimarian.bsky.social · 11d

Allow me to summarize:
1. 5 IDF soldiers caught sexually molesting a Palestinian prisoner.
2. IDF files charges.
3. IDF AG faces enormous pressure from government to drop charges. Mob storms base where it happened.
4. IDF AG leaks video documenting the molestation.
5. IDF AG pushed out (continued)

Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

i don't know much about Shapiro except that he supports israel, so no i'm not going to add him to the list of "good candidates"

Even if trump is "the main problem," we're telling you 3 years in advance that Newsom _is not good enough_ and _will lose_ in a general election. If a candidate is not willing to defend the targets of fascist violence, you cannot rely on them to support that candidate.

I just want every liberal to know in advance: if he becomes the nominee, he will lose bc of shit like this. No self respecting queer person is going to support him, and that'll be enough to keep him from the presidency.

No, he is not. He is the water that fills the vase. Without changing the shape of the container, we will simply get another Trump, just maybe one that's slightly more coherent.

Trump literally wouldn't be a problem without the entire political, legal, and media landscape accommodating his insanity at every turn. This idea that we just need to vote out Trump and everything will return to "normal" is comprehensively refuted by the fact that we already did that, in 2020.

cumrade poptart @poptart2nd.bsky.social · 2d

anyone who doesn't personally destroy homeless people's belongings or doesn't want to throw trans people under the bus is better than Newsom. Off the top of my head: Whitmer, Walz, Pritzker, AOC, Jayapal, Bernie
