I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:
•admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit
•expand the Supreme Court
Seriously: Why the hell not?

Everything I've seen about Democrats' version of Project 2029 is far too modest and weak-kneed.

Dear news media,
You keep making the same mistake, which is presenting the claims of the Trump regime as if you think there's a good chance they're true. Instead, present them as the claims of people who have lied to us thousands of times.
You can do better if you choose to.
Sincerely,
Mark
