Democrats need to stop being embarrassed about their beliefs. We need to stand up for immigrants, for the trans community, against wealth inequality.
When we try to move right to “compromise” we only pull the Overton window right with us. That’s what has gotten us here.

Yes, and McConnell for stealing a Supreme Court seat and blocking impeachment as well as Rubio, Ernst, and Cassidy for selling out their signature issues.
The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Thinking out loud . . . Is there a paper trail authorizing DOGE as an actor on behalf of the government? If not, would their illegal actions and Trump’s complicity with them fall outside the scope of presidential immunity?

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case.
Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Of course Hagerty is in favor of deleting the CFPB — it protects people from the greedy.
