my preference would be, use it once to forcibly undo the damage and demonstrate to the right why YOU ACTUALLY DO NOT WANT ALL THE NORMS SHREDDED

then put all the norms back with higher guardrails once we have a 20 member Supreme Court, full voting rights, 51 states and no more gerrymandering
I think the big Democratic Party dividing line in 2028 is going to be over whether we choose a candidate whose position is "And now, back to normal" or one who says, "FAFO, I am going to use every iota of the expanded power of the presidency that the GOP was so intent on creating."

Perhaps, since they don't wear uniforms or ID of any kind, ICE agents can instead all wear brown shirts.
“If Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was looking for another camera-ready smash and grab, by Wednesday night it seemed like the opportunity had eluded her. For that we can be grateful, both for the worst being avoided and for the reminder that only we can protect one another.”

Jesus thank you. I didn’t care if I was cool at 24. I sure as hell don’t care now that I’m middle aged, the objectively uncool “aged”.
why would i, a 38 year old, ever care that a 24 year old thinks i am uncool?

i am uncool. being uncool and not caring is the best part of getting older.

being cool was mostly uncomfortable and expensive. being uncool is chill as hell.

As families with young children continue to move OUT of the City ... the importance increases to add smaller starter homes, like brownstones, in inner ring suburbs

They can be built at high quality, and fit into any neighborhood.

No DOGE savings at all. It's all a complete lie. All they've done is fire qualified workers while not actually cutting spending at all.

The degree to which right-wing operatives are gifted an unobstructed path to prestige journalism outlets is rather underdiscussed.

I never tire of pointing out that CBS News once hired a Politics News Director whose entire pre-CBS professional background consisted of being a GOP political staffer
