An optimistic read of the news that Trump wants to restart nuclear testing is that he's responding to Russia's Burevestnik test and isn't clear on the difference between a nuclear-armed and nuclear-powered missile, which is understandable and fine if you're not the president of the United States

As I say in @theguardian.com today, "The Democratic party leadership doesn’t have the credibility, vitality or capacity to inspire millions of people. How many are inspired by Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries? The question answers itself..." @justicedemocrats.com @ninaturner.bsky.social
Can Democrats harness the energy of the No Kings protests to fight Trump?
Millions took to US streets to oppose authoritarianism as Democrats acknowledge ‘People want to see us fighting’
