Scary times ahead. But rejoice that we are confident the results of the election will be respected.

We need to do better.

We need to do better getting Democratic voters to vote. We need to do better generating and messaging new ideas to improve the economy and reduce inequality. 1/2
Right wingers accuse me of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) when I say Trump is steering us headlong into fascism.

Today Trump said he wants to make the U.S. more like China: accused individuals should go on trial the next day after arrest.

Trump IS steering us headlong into fascism.

Republicans are stealing the Christmas gifts from our kids. Trump is the Grinch. And he’s proud of it.

I don’t know or care why Trump wore the blue suit. I do know that the message received by the world was “I’m an uncouth pig.”

Senate Democrats had the power to shut down Trump’s government but were afraid to use it. The word “collaborators” comes to mind.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin in his farewell address: "You know, I was taught at West Point to pray that I would 'choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.' And I have tried every day as Secretary to live up to that teaching."

It's a prayer for America right now.

In light of reports of a planned large-scale immigration raid next week to begin Trump’s mass deportations, I think you’ll find this conversation on complexities of immigration policy and enforcement, with @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social, instructive.

Unsurprisingly, Judge Merchan denies Trump’s request to put off sentencing. We’re off to the appellate courts. It will be interesting to see if SCOTUS, when they finagle their way there, wants to listen.

Never let those who want to change history -- you know, the way the Confederates did after the Civil War -- succeed.

They were wrong then -- doing the dirty work of the dirtiest president of all time -- and they will be wrong forever.

Never forget January 6, 2021.

Republicans have used public concern about Social Security’s future solvency as a cynical excuse to demand cuts in benefits.

But Social Security could easily pay everything it will owe to everyone for the next 75 years if the cap on income subject to SS taxes were eliminated.

Let me explain.
