You can count on the Dems to fold like a sheet every single time. They will squander all the goodwill they've gained. The wins on Tuesday night? Fuck em. The No Kings protest? Fuck it. This is why we can't ever seem to get anywhere. It's infuriating!

Before anyone gets mad at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, listen to Kate. Justice Jackson didn’t side with Trump: she issued a temporary stay to prevent a rushed ruling that could let presidents exploit shutdowns to bypass Congress. Her move protects SNAP recipients & constitutional checks & balances

Trump isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but even he knows Republicans could’ve kept the government open all along.
Now he wants the Senate to nuke the filibuster to fix the mess he made, because red states are getting hit hardest & their voters are getting too loud to ignore. Today’s day 31.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.
Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

I’m deeply concerned that the military is losing yet another highly decorated commander—especially as Trump expands unlawful military action in the Southern Hemisphere.
Everyone should be worried by Trump’s pattern of prioritizing loyalty over competence.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Ms Dean, a Democrat, has been a member of Congress since 2019. Mr Johnson is the Republican Speaker. Why does he simply defect her concerns with irrelevant comments?
MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell
JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too
D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?
