This is always the plan with authoritarians wielding militaristic power. They create their own enemies to justify their power grabs.
Netanyahu loved October 7th for this exact reason. His failures led to it, and instead of being held accountable, he got more power than ever.

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

Yes, Jared Golden was one:
Just prior to Mayor Mamdani’s visit to Washington, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution which “denounces the horror of socialism in all its forms, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States of America.”

Notice Mamdani charmed Trump on live TV without backing down on any stances. He didn't water himself down, he didn't even take back calling Trump a fascist. Moderates would say butter him up, or try to appear more right-wing. Voters can see through that—and evidently so does he!

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Watched again and the highlight may actually be her saying if Kat was nicer, she'd have called Trump to ask for lenience. Not great imo how fast people have learned "the president will pardon you if you suck up to him."
Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.”
Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

My periodic reminder that multi-billionaires will eventually shift from measuring their dicks by building private space companies to building private armies with infantry, attack drone units, intelligence, engineers, signal, transportation, etc. Like Blackwater, but bigger. With a domestic focus.
Blue Origin, the rocket company founded by Amazon multibillionaire Jeff Bezos, launched its towering New Glenn rocket on a mission that marked its first major test.

Nope.

Carefully choreographed votes and angry press releases are all cute, but the indication of whether anyone in the caucus really cares is whether there’s any push for leadership changes or punitive action against the cavers.
There won’t be, but that would be the theoretical sign this is different

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

We need a Progressive caucus to replace Schumer. It only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove and replace Chuck Schumer as minority leader. Why they don’t: the majority of Senate Democrats approve of the way he does politics.

Schumer will vote against the deal, but that does not matter.
Either he gave the moderates nodding approval to their actions, or he is unable to keep his caucus together.
This is his failure. @schumer.senate.gov should resign tonight (at least as leader) if this deal goes through.
