Look no one should be committing to any candidate right now. I fucking hate the coronation impulse. I do think we should reward good behavior. We bitch no end — justifiably so — when Dems do bad things. We should cheer them on when they do good things. But no one has to fall into line.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

If there's no Covid testing to track Covid, there's no Covid.
The BLS did exactly what it's supposed to do: provide accurate, nonpartisan data. When the numbers showed Trump's "economic boom" was actually a bust (33k jobs vs claimed 291k), he fired the messenger. After all, when it rains too much, true leaders fire the meteorologists.
We’re officially in Donald Trump’s mad king era

Indeed, let’s remember many of these heinous acts can be overturned. None of this despicable demolition of our government and values is unchangeable. But it requires ending his lawless regime & returning power to responsible leaders.

Trump has no way out of the Epstein problem; he can either continue to stonewall, which makes him look guilty, or he can release everything, which may make him look even guiltier. https://trib.al/7K8Q9eZ

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

If you think you can't make a political issue out of "people shouldn't be grabbed off the street and put in a foreign gulag forever," maybe consider getting out of politics/punditry. And these aren't technical slogans: they appear in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution (twice).

Wow, this is the first time we've heard this number. Previous reporting suggested it was $6 million. So now it's $15 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars to imprison people in El Salvador without trial.
Van Hollen says he learned that Trump Admin agreed to pay El Salvador $15million to detain the men they sent there. He is aware that there is a "document that memorialized the payments" but he has not seen the document itself.

Trump fabricates a photo of Mr. Garcia with MS-13 tattoo on his hand. This is NOT a real image. Trump and his regime fabricated it. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCISM regimes do. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

If these Republicans advance RFK Jr., they're not just rolling the dice on a reckless nominee, they are telling the country they believe it's more important to appease Donald Trump than ensure Americans' health. Confirming this anti-vaxxer is not just about politics--it's a life-and-death decision.

Serious question: can the president just spend all his time in office suing people and then use the litigation as a "legal" way of accepting bribes via "settlements"?

People who claim that MAGAs won’t care if coffee is $20 a cup are missing the fact that Denny’s-loving MAGAs have not actually been asked to sacrifice a damn thing for the greater good by their idiot leader before (and no, in their minds, losing Pee Paw to Covid doesn’t count)
This freak is going to be slapping tariffs on every country on earth because he’s mad at them by next month.
NEW: Trump is going to force Americans to pay more for coffee because Colombia refused to accept his deportation flights.
He announces immediate 25% tariffs on all Colombian goods, rising to 50% next week.
Diplomatic bullying of a supposed ally and economic self-harm.
It’s Day 6.

When Trump imposes tariffs on Colombian coffee, Colombian flowers, Colombian bananas and pineapples and avocados, on Colombian oil, it's us Americans who will pay those added costs. We're not even a week into Trump's term and he's already imposed a brand new tax on all of us.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.
