Extremely dark that the entire U.S. government is lying down to be steamrolled by something called the Trump agenda for fear of some force called "Donald Trump" while the actual Donald Trump has no idea what's happening
Helluva @notusreports.bsky.social scoop showing that Trump has no idea what's in his budget bill. Seems like something that ought to get a lot more attention.
Also this: a republican house member actually admits that they are attacking medicaid. Yes, they are.

It’s always worth remembering that even the people who voted for him are largely not like, Trump stans. They are not going to sit in 99% humidity for him. He has die hard followers, but like any fandom, that’s a specific group.
Trump has trouble getting large numbers of his supporters to DC even for significant events. Both his inaugurations had low attendance, and even Jan 6 wasn't a large quantity of people. So there's a real possibility that this parade (much lower salience than those events) will have low attendance.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

not meant to dig on anyone. but quotes like this are a reminder that a lot of people are two or three stages removed from having the slightest idea of what's going on. that's not an invitation to feel superior to other people but to see the value of political organizing, good media over bad etc.

Joe Biden said it was "patriotic" to pay taxes on the campaign trail in 2008, and it was considered a major gaffe. 🤷🏻♀️ Same thing when Obama said "You didn't build that!"
The problem isn't that Dems won't say these things; it's that all the other Dems run away when they get a little pushback for it.

I like paying taxes. Genuinely. Not grudgingly. I can’t pave a road, I can’t build and staff a hospital. $200 in my pocket won’t pay for my kid’s daycare but if we all pool our money it might. I really wish someone on the left would be brave enough to be like, “Taxes are good, actually.”

It seem insane for a US Senator to say we've all been subjected to "a relentless bombardment of Marxist propaganda." But what he means by this is 1) there was a Burger King ad with an interracial couple and 2) Star Wars Episodes VII-IX had a female lead.

The president of the United States is openly and unapologetically using the power of his office to extort law firms. If a state governor did something like this, they’d be indicted in a heartbeat.
And at this point, there’s no politically viable way to stop him.

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.
