I hear what people are saying about waiving whatever flag you want- but nothing would be more impactful on American viewers than images of peaceful protesters waiving hundreds of American flags. Until that happens, marginal republicans will justify police violence as enforcement against immigrants.

but anyways, this blatant breaking of the law (Posse Comitatus Act) and likely future enactment of the Insurrection Act combined with the upcoming military parade is a clear reinforcement of that fact that Trump has an extremely small penis and is no longer capable of en erection.

I don’t know which is worse - the Republicans use of the marines for a largely peaceful protest, or the @democrats.org inability to rally the American people against it (despite efforts). My father in-law called outraged at what these protesters are making Trump do(!) He isn’t alone in his idiocy.

If recent history has taught us anything, it’s that we can’t rely on poll numbers to predict the future. It will take a sustained, consistent, targeted message starting now until the next election to bring about positive change. @democrats.org @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social

As a party, we are prisoners being held hostage by people who simply refuse to accept that their time has passed and won’t accept that others more capable right now. Stay in the Senate, but step down from leadership. It’s time for a new approach, a new face, & a new voice.

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation
"It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."

Roberts has been avoiding a fight with the Trump Administration because he fears Trump will steamroll the courts and invalidate the rule of law. Trump has now forced his hand. This will be an interesting show-down. If Trump ignores the court now, the Constitution is dead.

I’m getting concerned that the @democrats.org are not able to get members on board with a consistent message that resonates with Americans.
1) Democracy/Constitution
2) The economy
Members need to stop going into rat holes. We can fix these other issues when you win the election!

I can’t help but think that the republicans will relent on their tariffs by the end of the week and declare victory - thereafter touting their financial savviness - even though nothing will materially change.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Message to the majority so that you can protect the minority.
After suffering their biggest defeat in decades, Democrats are deeply fractured, rudderless, and struggling to figure out at the most basic level what their message and strategy should be.
‘If We Don’t Get Our S--t Together, Then We Are Going to Be in a Permanent Minority’
It’s been months since Democrats suffered a devastating defeat at the polls. For all the talk about the party’s need for change, few seem actually willing to make the leap.
