Senate Democratic leadership essentially played dead today and greenlit the Trump-Musk-Vance coup. What is the point of the Democratic Party if it doesn't actually act like an opposition party? Hello?

I keep finding myself thinking, ‘it can’t go on like this’ but then I remember my first trip to Zimbabwe in 2012, where everyone told me they had been thinking that since 1987

I respectfully disagree.
Normie resistance libs and never-Trumpers have *always* misjudged Trump—over and over again.
Trump has consistently proven himself to be much *worse*—more depraved, more deranged, more dimwitted—than those critics have made him out to be.

No factions in America politics has been proved right more times that normie resistance libs and never-Trump Republicans. Proved right over and over. Trump is as bad as they always told us.
I think a lot of people who are used to dismissing any dissatisfaction with the Dem establishment as DSA malcontents are missing how radicalized normie lib moms who would have voted for Obama a third time if they could are getting

The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.

it really is something that almost a century later, oligarchs and economic royalists still see social security as an affront that must be destroyed
Fyi, my new piece in @bostonreview.bsky.social about the history of calling Social Security a “Ponzi scheme,” and how attacks on Social Security have often marked the opening wedge of a broader war on public goods.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid
