This is why I don’t trust the "Never Trump" Bulwark guys. They’re perfectly comfortable with real people being harmed, so long as the harm comes via a process they can label “liberal democracy.”

The Democratic party would win elections repeatedly if they competently challenged corporate power.
There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors

dems serious about winning really have no choice but to seriously embrace antitrust reform and challenge corporate power, because their failure to do so earnestly opened the door to phony ass authoritarian pseudo-populism
Pretending to challenge corporate power has been one of the motivating points of the Trump platform. If someone did it for real, that would really be something.

I know it won’t matter because democrats are useless and even if they take back power they’ll just have some limpdick reconciliation message, but this is literally going to kill people and RFK Jr should spend the remainder of his life in a cell in a just world, just as Musk should.
BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

🙄 Sen. Mark Kelly has been spending spam texts asking for money to take on Trump and Hegseth’s department of defense’s investigation targeting him less than 24 hours after he voted to approve a $900 billion defense authorization budget for a pentagon run by Trump and Hegseth.

periodically I'll see a backlash that goes a little too far or seems kinda unfair. i never say anything because i think we need to be kinda unhinged and zealous in our response to this shit. I'd take an honest-to-God crusade against this stuff over letting it proliferate.

This is why Newsom and Buttigieg should be nonstarters as 2028 candidates. We need people who will fight for marginalized groups and not capitulate to the right to seem more "Moderate." If they want to be in the tent, they can agree to uphold the basic party tenets, end of story.

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).
