Great analysis of the end of the shutdown, and strategy advice from @rachelbitecofer.bsky.social:
"Let voters feel the betrayal in their wallets and their insurance statements...That’s how you wake up a nation sleepwalking through its own decline."

Josh makes this point that I think is the core of what we need to concentrate on strategically: We need a Democratic Party that is both comfortable using power and knows how to do it.

Anne Applebaum highlights effects of America's sudden withdrawal from international conflict resolution diplomacy. Which leads me to this:
How does MAGA imagine the US could possibly remain a leading global power, by burying itself in isolationism? A high price is paid for this bs.

Today 9th Circuit said Trump can deploy Nat Guard to Portland. Dissenting Judge Susan Graber has poignant appeal to 9th Circ. colleages and the public at large at the end of her opinion. See below.

The main driver of our current shit show is Heritage Fdn's agent Russell Vought--architect of Project 2025. He is dismantling our govt & facilitating regressive policies from his perch atop OMB. He deserves a MUCH brighter spotlight, and here one is: timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/not...

Leavitt is very consistant. She only has one message about the 'enemies of the state'--i.e., the opposing political party. It's completely divorced from reality, but hey. That's what Propaganda Barbie's all about.

As someone noted, "It's OK though. Scott Bessent said it's just 'cuz so many US factories are now under construction... somewhere. In America. Just not anywhere near you. Or the current news cycle."

Here's that "radical left" murderer of Charlie Kirk. So is the outraged right ready to go to war now. . . against MAGA? Where's the outrage? The calls for revenge? The reviling of the evil-doer?
I'll wait.

People forget Babbitt didn't just 'get shot'--she was physically in a broken window and entering a barricaded room when she was repealed by justifiable force. MAGA is fervidly in denial about this. Let's refresh memories, shall we?

When is Trump sending the Nat'l Guard to MEMPHIS? It has 2.5x the violent crime rate of Wash. D.C. For that matter, Ohio Guardsmen should stay home: Cleveland has more than 1.7x DC's crime rate, and there are 3 Ohio cities on the list of red-state cities much higher in violent crime than DC.

Maybe those guardsmen should be deployed to *OHIO* instead. Cleveland alone has more than 1.7x the crime that D.C. has, & *three* places in Ohio make the list of 14 red state cities with more violent crime than Wash. D.C.
And when is Trump sending the Guard to Memphis? 2.5x D.C's crime rate.

Our very own Popehat (@kenwhite.bsky.social) wrote a sharp critique of DoJ's choosing to criminally charge Alejandro Orellana for providing face masks to protesters during the Los Angeles ICE protests. Give it a read.
