People say Trump is being too chaotic, but I say we first need to see if he destroys the country, and then we can decide what to do

BREAKING: Republican Mike Sen. Crapo has blocked Sen. Sanders' Social Security Expansion Act from getting a vote.
The bill would have increased benefits across the board, raised cost of living adjustments, and extended the solvency of Social Security for 75 years.

The death toll in Gaza has already been updated to 61,709.
The true scale of Israel's atrocities is only just emerging - and officials must face justice for every single life lost.
So should those who continued to send weapons, knowing full well they were enabling genocide.

Reminded me of what @lioneltrolling.bsky.social said about nationalism being a doctrine of despair. Vance offers graciously to his wife all that nationalists have to offer: a warm grave. Why live among different people when you can die among your own?

The democrats need to actually message because I don't think the normies are hearing about how trump is destroying the government. There's so much news that even those who are trying to follow the situation closely can barely make sense of it.

Federal workers cannot be offered a buyout exceeding $25,000, according to rules that are still on the OPM website. That's far less than eight months' pay, as stipulated in this alleged buyout. It's a sham.

AOC is probably going to do the calculations and determine that there is no downside in her running for president in 2028. She'll be formidable because she is right now appealing to all the lib voters who feel betrayed by the democratic party in the wake of Trump's second term.

In 1932 FDR gave a speech in which he said he no longer supported American entry to the League of Nations. Though the politically savvy move for his chances of getting the Democratic nomination, it appalled his wife Eleanor, who didn't speak to him for days afterwards.

If Lindsey Graham says trump is right to end Birthright Citizenship by executive order on day 1, then why is he also introducing legislation, and ALSO introducing a constitutional amendment to do the same thing?
I guess he just wants to be reaallllyyyy sure.

In Senator Mike Lee's recent disinformation thread on social security, he complains that the government pulled a "bait and switch" when they argued to the Supreme Court in Helvering v. Davis that the program was constitutional because it was a "tax". This flips the history totally on its head. (1/4)

The republican senate is going to try to pass all their bills via budget reconciliation. What happens when the parliamentarian blocks some of their provisions? Do they replace the parliamentarian, or get rid of the filibuster? Importantly, what will the dems have gained by not doing this themselves?

Democrats got wiped out in 2004. This is what they did next.
The last time Democrats lost the popular vote spurred a reckoning.
