The good news is that it seems like, literally in the last hour, we’ve stepped back in time to the Trump 1.0 era, where his administration was a dumpster fire and everyone inside leaked their petty bullshit to the press.
This is good, it slows down their assault on America.

Harris lost because of a lot of forces out of her control and she kept the margins close enough to give us a bit better than a puncher's chance to get through this but like, her losing is ultimately on Biden! establishment/normie Democrats took an L here, crazy to pretend otherwise
i'm gonna be honest a supporter of establishment Democrats acting like DSA and their related pols are wreckers who never made any incredibly salient and prescient points following the *second time* Trump beat a right-triangulating establishment Democratic candidate* is absolutely wild to me

The thing is that at some point, the affront to Polish sovereignty makes the fact that Hans lost his father in the Great War and grew up poor under hyperinflation fundamentally irrelevant trivia.

"they also don't care about your way of life" is a total lie. they're obsessed with your way of life! they vote and speak in loathing of your way of life! small-town red America obsessively focuses on other ways of life
This from @jdcivicscience.bsky.social nails why small town, red America is not turning on Trump.

Professional voice: This is a testament to the power of public pressure and diplomacy, and a reminder that a US Senator is still one of the ~500 most powerful people on the planet.
Personal voice: LET'S FUCKING GO, BRING THEM ALL HOME, NO AMERICAN LEFT BEHIND AND NOT A PENNY FOR FOREIGN DICTATORS

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Ex-Republican turned Democrat: I hate everything this party stands for, but Trump is the Devil incarnate and I will stop at nothing to see him cast back into Hell.
Ex-Democrat turned MAGA: Like the Donald, I became a victim of vicious lawfare after a mere 255 "allegations" of rape and tax fraud...

Andrew Cuomo is just Eric Adams but the charges haven't been filed yet.
The corrupt-Democrat-to-MAGA-sympathizer pipeline remains undefeated.

i don’t want to belabor the point but it is worth noting that Biden’s underlying assumptions about the US political system were completely, categorically wrong and are likely what motivated his Administration’s “high road, consensus-oriented approach to Trump

there's no practical mechanism for Xinis to order the White House to "try harder" to bring Garcia back home, that's immediately a SCOTUS question
the smart move Xinis is doing instead is demanding that the White House provided documented evidence of what they have already tried, which is nothing

Xinis has potentially turned this into a multi-week PR mess involving upper echelon people in the administration, this is a win for us even if it doesn't immediately help Garcia

Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch
