Dems Reward the Hostage-Taker
Perhaps ending the shutdown was the responsible thing to do. But by caving, Democrats risk legitimizing Trump’s maximum-pain shutdown tactics.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Every single Dem that caved and agreed to this deal needs to be primaried and voted out. They are cowards who wasted the last month for a half baked promise vote a month from now.

I couldn't let this week go without reviewing HOUSE OF DYNAMITE — which gets right to me the four core principles of nuclear thrillers. Most of all it should serve as a reminder why Trump's nuclear threats this week are so dangerous: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-s-od...
Trump’s Odd Nuclear Threat and America’s House of Dynamite
Almost nothing about Trump's latest nuke tweet is correct. Plus what Netflix's HOUSE OF DYNAMITE gets right about nuclear war.

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23

They constantly let America down

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life

and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

Seriously @nytimes.com...what in the actual fuck is wrong with you?
Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states.

See if you can spot it! /s

Then you can find today's story on p A23

Lord give us the Democrats that Republicans warn us about.

Just got sent another Demo consultant's memo on how to win the shutdown. Spoiler alert: they want Democrats to focus on "costs" and "healthcare" and talk about how they're for smart budgets. Absolutely nothing about Trump being out of control.

The consultant class should be shot out of a cannon.

Now back this up with action @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. This is the first thing you've done all Trump presidency that doesn't add to my fear that Dems are going to let fascism run over our heads like a tank.
Listen Russ, you are a malignant political hack.

We will not be intimidated by your threat to engage in mass firings.

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.
Trump to a female reporter who tries to ask him about his plans for Memphis: "Quiet. You're really obnoxious ... I'm not gonna talk to you until I call on you."
