Marjorie Taylor Greene is not a hero and should not be rehabilitated. She's the same person and angling for higher office.

Just use her to weaken MAGA. Divide and destroy.

She ran on more Biden/not Trump and the former actually crushed her.
This is where I think far too many Dem centrists get their ideas about what progressives believe and run on.
Like centrists complaining that Harris ran a campaign focused on trans rights. They get their version of reality from Ted Cruz ads and Uncle Frank on Facebook, rather than from her actual campaign.

He’s also trying to inoculate himself against attacks on his sexuality by singing the ‘pity the poor white man’ song.
it's so sheepish and pathetic to endlessly be playing defense on bad faith Republican attacks. Especially when there's no shortage of stuff you could leverage to go on relentless offense

there's literally fifty examples of widespread corruption harming "everyday Americans" going on every day

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Gavin Newsom is quiescent before money and power. He would sell you and his mother for $1 to gain the latter. He is the scorpion who seeks a ride across the river on your back. He may wind up being the best choice (these are dark days) but we should all be warned.

YESSSSS!
What’s infuriating to me as someone who has identified as a Democrat literally longer than Spanberger has been alive is that many of the policies Mamdani supports would have comfortably fit within the Democratic Party tent before Reaganism.

Neoliberalism should NOT be the default for Democrats.
Abigail Spanberger takes a swipe at Mamdani, saying "maybe he should be a Democrat" and that his campaign promises are dishonest.

The point might be to let him tell lies. An in-kind contribution.
On this @60Minutes interview. Trump lies as he breathes. He lies every time he opens his mouth. We’ve never ever faced this before. And the media still has no fucking clue how to deal with it. It is pointless to interview him if you don’t fact check his lies. It’s just pointless.

In Opinion

In political defeat, “there is a bottomless appetite for prescriptions that reassure the defeated party members that they just need to be truer to themselves, more effective, more ruthless,” Ross Douthat writes. “This is the psychological spot where many Democrats find themselves today.”

Hoods off at Heritage
1. A watershed moment.

The President of the Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action, Kevin Roberts , has announced that the organization is standing by Tucker Carlson in the aftermath of Tucker’s interview with neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.

Often overlooked that Obama had no familial ties to American slavery - his father was African and his mother white. I think all of this allowed him to speak and interact in ways not available to most American descendants of African slaves.
The Black Lives Matter movement. America’s first Black president. The election of Trump. A resurgence of white nationalism.

Didn't vote for him last time. Never will - because he pulls shit like this. Another dem who decides to believe in nothing when he (falsely) believes it's in his best political interest.
That’s great but Schiff voted to confirm another Trump judge on Monday.
New: Democrats are ramping up probes into Trump's $300M ballroom.

@schiff.senate.gov sent a letter to the White House, demanding a “complete accounting” of the ballroom's financing and terms for donors

That is the perfect comparison.
The US has revoked the visa of a Nobel Prize winner in literature after the author called President Trump "Idi Amin in whiteface." Nigerian Wole Soyinka, 91, said the US consulate told him to bring in his passport so it could be canceled in person. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Republicans spend all their time trashing dems as communists who want to turn everyone transgender. Democracts spend time talking about how happy they are to work with their colleagues across the aisle. One is seen as out of touch and the other isn't. Go figure.
Democrats didn't campaign on LGBTQ rights. Trans people weren't even permitted to speak at the DNC. This is the most persistent lie about the 2024 campaign, and it keeps being pushed by grown adults who should know better.
Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇

The GOP has been extremely effective at shaping perceptions of the Democrats, claiming they support policy positions they don't actually support

If your strategy, as a Dem, for winning in 2028 *STARTS* by buying their spin and lies, then you've already lost

Fine, do it. It was always imperative that, whatever else happens, Democrats cannot own any of the consequences of the Republican death cult budget bill.

Typical day of a racist piece of shit at the Nazi bar.
Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?
