Defying and dismantling authoritarianism is hard work. If we don't make room for rest and joy, we can't bring our best to the fight.

So true. Big media fail. And Democrats never conveyed this.
So many news outlets continue to push the obviously false claim that Elon Musk and DOGE were trying to eliminate waste and fraud.
Because the goal was never “saving” anything. The mission was the destruction of the federal government and the theft of everyone’s data, and they achieved everything they intended to do.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

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.

Tariffs grind gears; rates whisper. #econsky
Tariffs are like throwing rocks in the economic engine, then asking the Fed to fix the noise by adjusting the radio volume. Interest rates can tune demand, but they can’t magically make a trade war painless.

These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.

This is exactly correct.
Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.
