there is absolutely nothing standing in the way of more moderate democrats being aggressive opponents of the white house and holding public events highlighting their opposition
@aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov's rallies have been so successful that it's "worrying some moderate Democrats who fear Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez could tug the party to the left."

This is a backdoor. Elon's coders are creating a backdoor into the US Treasury. This is incredibly dangerous both because of its intended use (by Elon and Trump) and the risk of other actors exploiting a major security vulnerability to cause a massive disruption to the US government.

I was never a fan of Lawyer Brain, but my disdain for it grew as the US increasingly shifted from operating under rule of law to operating under raw power—with the Supreme Court's blessing!—and so many prominent attorneys just pretended it hadn't, smugly chastising those who acknowledged reality.
i think the democratic party's paralysis at this moment is at least partially attributable to so many fucking lawyers thinking the rules are self-enforcing

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices.

The key takeaway is that the world’s richest man got what he wanted; stripped our cancer funding for kids, killed reforms to bring down drugs prices and caps on investment in China. Trump on the other hand demanded a debt ceiling raise and got nothing.
