Since last week, the United States is now pro-Russia, anti-NATO, and anti-democracy. Everything we feared is real. What can we do about this? Where do we go from here? @djrothkopf.bsky.social and @normornstein.bsky.social tackle all of these pressing questions. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

Enough. The Democrats must shut down the Senate and use their power. Stop voting for these idiots. Stop all unanimous consent. Demand answers. Filibuster. Where is the fucking outrage?

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

For the next 4 years, it's time for Democrats to stop being so eager to play nice and appease Republicans.
They're not really Republicans any more. They are MAGA.
If your name isn't Donald trump, they're not interested. They're not playing by the same rules.

Absolutely LOVED Lawrence O'Donnell's interview of President Biden. It was thoughtful and revealing, and a reminder of how much I will miss having a President who sincerely loves to help people, and not being shitty to them.
Thank you, President Biden.

Hot tip for the next two years: a Republican bill does the opposite of what it’s called.
A GOP bill defunding schools that mandate vaccines would be called the “Protect our Schools Act.”
A GOP bill raising the retirement age for social security would be called the “Retire With Dignity Act.”
