You might not take an interest in politics but politics will take interest in you. If they take rights away from one of us they take rights away from all of us.

The job of a good message isn't to say what is popular. The job of a good message is to make popular what we need said.
Trump's approval on immigration and deportations plunged after Kilmar Abrego Garcia was sent to El Salvador. Then it sank again after Trump sent the military into Los Angeles—along with how voters rated his deportation policy. Approval on both issues is now down 20 points from the start of his term.
This is how we win. Never cede ground on your position on ‘losing’ issues or you leave an opening for your opponent to define you

Trump put a 40% tariff on goods from Switzerland. He lowered it only after the Swiss gave him a priceless Rolex desk clock and a personalized gold bar. Corruption out in the open.

Trump on Tim Walz: "I think the man is a grossly incompetent man. I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in the debate. I was saying, 'Who's more incompetent, that man or my man?' I had a man and he had a man. They were both incompetent."

Trump says he's terminating any Biden pardons signed with autopen
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he is terminating all documents, including pardons, that he said his predecessor Joe Biden had signed using an autopen, a move that legal experts doubted would hold up in court.

What keeps being overlooked by these pundits is how many people voted for GOP believing they wouldn’t do what they said they would do. Now those voters are seeing that Republicans lie. For them to ‘change their trajectory’ they need to abandon all their deceptive policies that they sold as good

NEW: Trump DOJ once again BUSTED for yet another lie told to a federal judge, this time in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s cases:
DOJ told Judge Xinis Costa Rica wouldn’t take Abrego Garcia & instead he has to be deported to Liberia, with which he has no ties at all.
Turns out, it’s a LIE.

Once more for those in back: What people think about Democrats isn't made out of what Democrats say. This (among so many things) is why winning a vote choice trial heat in a survey doesn't equate to winning an election.

Alright, alright. I did not expect this at all. Happy to have been wrong about this not passing the House.
Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge.
The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

A week before he voted to cut Medicaid, Republican Congressman Rob Bresnahan dumped up to $130,000 worth of stock in four companies that manage nearly half of all Medicaid enrollees in the country.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
