I know campaigns hate being criticized for not engaging with local party leaders, but at a bare minimum, ask precinct leaders what entrance voters use so your signs aren’t 500 feet away from your voters on Election Day.

If Musk and Mr. Big Balls weren’t so preoccupied with firing everyone and stealing all of our data, they might have thought to steal the Epstein files while they were tearing apart the DOJ.

I assume I’m not alone in hoping that the conclave picks him. Then he’s automatically whisked out of the White House and into the Vatican by the Holy Spirit and we get to live free again. Honestly, if there is a God, it enabled this mess and now it has a chance to fix it.

I am going to give credit where it is due with an admittedly super low bar…WH Press Secretary was asked a very leading question that advocated for the pardon of Derek Chauvin. The WH response was about as emphatic a ‘no’ as I’ve ever heard from them. Even broken clocks….

This could be said about a lot of things he’s done, but this one is pretty straightforward…you don’t revoke another president’s pardons if you have any concern whatsoever that you might not be president some day, like in four years or so.

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard.
Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

"If DOGE's goal is layoffs, wldn't shutdown help them achieve their goal" is bad analysis. Government shrinkage isn't fascism's goal; usurpation of democracy is. Layoffs are a means, not an end. Same w/ shutdown: It's not the goal of democracy, obv. But it can be a means of fighting for democracy.

I wonder what ten certain senators are going to say about town halls now. They’ve joined the Nazis in their budget vote, do they join them in ignoring their constituents too?

Trump: “They have so much water they don’t know what to do with it all.”
Me: “Yes, that’s called a flood. And if you did it deliberately it’s a crime and also a waste of a reservoir (key word “reserve”) that will now not be there when it is needed during the summer drought.”

I got bullied a good bit as a kid and I rarely fought back…but if anyone tried to bully me anywhere near as much as these republicans bully these democrats, they’d have gotten their ass kicked. I appreciate the realities democrats face, but people vote for fighters and this is getting embarrassing.

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen?
We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

So Trump unlawfully disappears a legal resident, there’s no real public record of any actual offenses and not even a suitable explanation from the executive branch and all Dems do is a polite letter and some tweets?! I was at a Dem fundraiser this weekend, at it is now my last. Not a penny more.

Rubio thought he was getting some great promotion. In reality, Trump made a deal with senate leaders to get him out of the senate and screwed with him further by promising him some dream job while actually just embarrassing him incessantly…all because he joked about his tiny hands a decade ago.

Democrats are going to have to break their own rules to have any success forestalling the inevitable collapse of our democracy. Stop “respecting the office” and following decorum. Nazi republicans haven’t for decades and yet voters gave them full control of the country.

The same people feigning skepticism about the technology in voting machines in 2020, now believe ridiculous claims about the efficacy of a magical algorithm without asking a single question.

Start the 2028 Democratic primary right now. It will get attention. It will allow the candidates to outwardly oppose this regime and concentrate the opposition in the voices of a few nationally recognized leaders. Most importantly, it will make it harder for nazi republicans to cancel elections

If you want to know how far the nazi republican party has fallen, they’ve proposed a new paper money bill with Trump’s face on it and NOT the face of their former god Ronald Reagan.
Keep in mind, Trump also wants to eliminate the coin that bears the face of their party’s greatest founder.

Democrats need to demand Trump's impeachment before they vote for any budget. Either Trump is an existential threat or he is not. Either the Republicans can pass a budget on their own, or they cannot. If Republicans want to govern without consensus, let them try.

Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.
Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.
