The message needs to be that Democrats need to reclaim their space on social media. We all retreated in the last few years as things grew toxic, but online spaces is where the ground game is won/lost in modern politics, and too many Dems are "just tired of the fighting online." Well, too bad.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

A single Afghan refugee attacks national guard troops, and MAGA demands we deport every refugee.
Thousands of MAGA fools attack the capitol and capitol police, and they get Presidential pardons and victimhood complexes.
This is all so ridiculous.

Looks like someone didn't like the press coverage of his Mamdani meeting and decided to change the narrative.
Trump says he’s ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali refugees in Minnesota “immediately.”

Um...is tonight the night the Trump fever finally breaks on the MAGA movement in America? And did Marjorie Taylor Greene just do it?

Intimidation and threatening violence on his opponents is his brand. It's just wrapped in fake gold plating pretending to be patriotism.
One of Trump's most consistent positions is that intimidation or actively inflicting violence on his opponents is good. This isn't new, and it sure doesn't look like he's likely to change his tune any time soon. And that means you have to do *more* of this confrontation to delegitimize him.

What a horrible, laughable answer.
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?
LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

This is solely so next week, when the claim comes that the files can't be released because of the active investigation he just ordered, he can point to this and say "But like I've always said, I WANT the files released. If it were up to me, they'd be released already."
Trump: "House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide."
