I see a lot of people wringing their hands over shameless clown + white nationalist Steve Bannon insisting that Trump will serve a third term. And I get it. Folks are so traumatized and rattled regarding the past 10 years that they're letting him get under their skin.
Don't. Here's why.

I don’t understand why anyone’s debating this — a Nazi tattoo is a non starter, full stop.
This is a race for a U.S. Senate seat. The bar for candidates to clear doesn’t have to be insanely high, but it should at least be off the ground

About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”

Part of the problem is limp news coverage that turns every Dem wobble into a five-alarm fire while treating GOP extremism as background noise. That’s what depresses our base.

Jamie Harrison’s head-in-the-sand posts are actually part of the problem. Enthusiasm for the Democratic Party is depressed.

Is it too much to ask that a Democrat win a general election in a red district before we start dunking on “the establishment”. Preferably a federal office.
I’m glad people are motivated but good lord. Making NYC bluer is like making Chattanooga reder.

The “fluoride removal” bit is a solution in search of a problem.
Fluoride levels in Florida are completely safe, help prevent cavities, and keep kids in school.
Where’s the evidence it’s been remotely harmful? There isn’t any.
No ethics, no morals, all smoke and mirrors.

There are some (esp younger) people in certain targeted groups who have gotten the idea that leftists are their people, the ones who have their backs.
They have no clue how quickly they would be abandoned if they started insisting on actual progress, nor who actually fights for that progress.

My spouse and I were talking about this again yesterday: when people scream at democrats to “do something” and you press them about what, it falls into four categories.
1. Things they are doing.
2. Things they can’t do.
3. Performative nonsense that would achieve nothing.
4. Literal crimes.

They arrested a sitting Judge. This is insane.
Every day, the Trump admin commits another blatant act of lawlessness — not just to test our systems, but to test us.
I will not grow weary of saying it plainly: We have no kings in America.
We must not be silent or look away.

Last night, Democrats flipped a Trump +23 state senate seat in Pennsylvania for the first time in 40 years.
Florida is next. CD-6 is considered a safe seat but the race is tightening and Republicans are flipping out. We won’t rest until polls are closed!
