The "okay gang, let's not get carried away" party thinks we should all temper our expectations
Recent statements from political strategists and Democratic Party insiders seem to suggest that the party’s strategy for the 2026 midterm races — particularly in hotly contested swing districts — will be to focus on economic concerns rather than on holding President Donald Trump accountable.
Polls Undercut Dem Strategy to Avoid Discussing Trump Impeachment in Midterms
Democratic strategists are telling swing district candidates to focus on the economy and to avoid discussing Trump.

They absolutely should.

Democrats should run on the fact that their opposition is literally killing Americans and destroying the country.
It’s not hyperbole. That’s the message they should be blasting out to media every day.
They are killing Americans and destroying the country. They hate our freedom. They hate democracy

Lady, the modern Republican party’s goal is the murder of the poor, weak, and defiant. This is heartbreakingly strong of you to reach and ask but it’s also a plea on deaf ears.
Renee Good was murdered in broad daylight, and Republicans are acting as if it is ok. Where is your decency? Where is your humanity? When will y’all develop a backbone and actually represent the people that sent you here?

The leader of the conservative party of Canada cheered on the illegal bombing and invasion of Venezuela until he realized a few days later it affects international oil prices and now is demanding the country fast track pipelines to compete.

YES! Way past time to undo the damage started by VP Cheney
Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

YouTube is upholding the removal of my videos about gambling on the false grounds violating its “sale of illicit goods” policy.
This is tantamount to a false allegation, right? Especially with my professional rep, slinging that reasoning around is potentially harmful.
Either way I’m disgusted.

Using rules against gambling to censor criticism of gambling while selling gambling ads is straight up machiavellian and kafkaesque

Regurgitative AI is now implicated in multiple deaths but still there is no sign of regulation.
Meanwhile, governments are working to ban trans people from public life based on imaginary scenarios that haven’t happened.
Not even AI could write a situation as stupid as this shit.

There is a certain grim synchronicity in the Child Rapist President's secret police being fucking choked with rapists, child rapists, and pedophiles. Just the actual worst people on earth, suddenly feeling seen, and then handed masks and guns. It's not even ideological, it's just super-egos amok.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent Harry Marvelle Peless III, 51, of Newport, MI, was arrested in Jul 2025 after messaging an undercover agent posing as a 13-year-old girl.
Marvelle sent obscene material to and made requests for sexual activity to the person he believed was an underage girl.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
