Imagine my concern
We are focused on the immediate dangers, believe me. But one of them is the apparently impenetrable stupidity of too many of your countrymen. The rest of the world is losing patience.

Slotkin CRUSHED that rebuttal.
Succinct. Powerful.
And the Dems didn’t even throw her in her kitchen like the GOP did Katie Britt.
Weird.

YES. she was infinitely more adult and sane, which is the point. 2026 will be about getting kid of the Mad King's party and his billionaire courtiers
Giving an effective response to a joint presidential address is a nearly impossible task
Slotkin pulled it off, IMHO -- an appeal to widely shared American values, followed by a direct, plainspoken attack on Trump's agenda

I thought Slotkin did very well tonight. Her framing of Trump's economic agenda as a disaster for working families was really solid. A good introduction to the American people for her. Kept it simple, but simple almost usually works.

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense.
This is a growing national security risk.

I gotta say that being able to play YouTube links in-app is amazing and it doesn't make me want to leave Bluesky, it makes me want to use it more. I cannot believe what we've been forced to tolerate by tech behemoths for so long in their desperation to prevent access to the rest of the internet.

The problem is that so many of these folks like their union rights with a sprinkling of rage and racism, so they fuck around and vote for Trump. And then they complain when they arrive at the "find out" stage.
