Some Dems and pundits overread the significance of Trump's win. They looked at dissatisfaction with the border and discerned a seismic cultural reaction to immigration levels inside the country. The former was real. The latter is a mirage.

And I think he did great work with media but honestly nothing had me saying "oh wow communicator of a generation."
No. He's likeable, he's decent, his policies are popular, he has a campaign work ethic.
Maybe most importantly: he obviously had competent staff and obviously listened to them.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

That’s not normal behavior. So ask yourself, is it really about their safety, or is the stage being set for something bigger?

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.
He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

I could never understand why the Dems/Biden Admin didn't get huge public acclaim in the media for this legislation and the Chips & Science Act as well, but ultimately I guess the answer is simple: it's because the media is and has been in the tank for Trumpism / right wing extremism for years.

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?
$2733.15 a month.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.
If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.
So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”
Because that IS what they are going to say.
