On a happier note, JB is such a badass and would make a fantastic POTUS. His vision of American democracy is closer to FDR's than anyone else on the political scene & he's proven that he knows exactly how to stand up to bully billionaires. We need a good class traitor in the White House again.

The top U.S. consumer watchdog said on Monday it was legally prohibited from drawing cash from the Federal Reserve to support continuing operations, but that its current funding should last through the end of this year "at least."

The only thing special about us is our uniquely bad electoral & legislative institutions. We could be just like every other normal actual democracy. Sure, we'd have all their problems. Every one of them would be vastly better than "the fascists have governing majorities/control of every institution"
If we were an actual democracy, our politics would look ~like 👇: the center-left at ~1/3 of the vote, the center-right ~1/3, the fascists <1/5 (& with no chance of the exec/majorities), & a few small parties. Yes, we’d have tons of problems (see 🇩🇪), but none of them would be “will democracy end?”

there’s this really dumb idea among the brain dead liberal punditocracy that you shouldn’t even mention ICE but nah this guy ran aggressively against them in a purple center/center-right county and won.
NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.
