AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

Trump is literally purging the federal government of Black people and women.

So the people who told us he wasn’t a racist or misogynist were full of shit.

The Democrats should use this as a chance to radicalize regular people in favor of, uh, the idea of a functional government. Every time that an important but unnoticed federal department fails because Trump fired everyone they should make a big deal out of it.
a thought i have at the moment is that this effort to terrorize bureaucrats may end up being a gigantic self-inflicted wound that really hobbles the administration

I hear there are stories coming, but putting the brakes on our country’s world-leading medical research system feels like a five alarm fire and I don’t see a newspaper that even has it on the front page yet
Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.
The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!

That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

My latest: "Wear the MAGA Hat, & Get Out of Jail Free For Four Years"

It's open season for violent criminals, sexual abusers, & insurrectionists for the next 4 years. All you have to do is wear a MAGA hat & show your loyalty to Trump, & you get out of jail free.

In his interview with Sean Hannity, President Trump said attacks on law enforcement on January 6 were “minor incidents.”

Btw, imagine if Biden had attacked a conservative Christian figure in that personal and vicious way. It'd be front page news and on a loop on Fox and his own party would criticize him for it.

But it's Trump, so hey, all good. All normal. Move along, nothing to see here.

this honestly goes a long way toward explaining why the coverage of the Biden administration was so egregiously terrible
White House reporters are excited that after four years of boring interviews with subject-matter experts they now get the adrenaline rush that comes from the personal attention of a president who threatens to have them executed. www.cjr.org/political_pr...

This piece by @maddow.msnbc.com is even more prescient today. JDV has been invisible since the election. No doubt he’s working on the implementation of Yarvinism. The Opposition needs to get educated quickly re: Yarvin & read @heathermarsh.bsky.social as a counter weight.

Welcome to the next four years. Republicans do horribly rightwing things to hurt people and move the Overton window even further right, while rightwing Democrats say 'Hey, can you let us join in and do it in a bipartisan fashion'.

Kill me now.
13 Democratic senators, led by Mark Kelly, write a letter asking John Thune and Republicans to work with them on an immigration bill instead of doing it on party lines through reconciliation.
