(1/2) Are you willing to hear an optimistic statement for a change?
Per major-media reports, Trump didn't pull back the Stefanik nomination simply because he worried the GOP could lose her seat.
He and his advisors were worried about a series of events that could lead to them losing the _House_.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power. (2/2)

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

I realized today that I am more powerful than Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.
I can say Fuck You Donald Trump.
They may be richer but I am more powerful. And that is a trade I would make every single day.
