I'm looking forward to 2029 when we remove and destroy every aspect of Trump's name on federal property like US forces taking down everything with Saddam Hussein on it.
That's the bare minimum any Dem should do. Leave no trace of his existence.

Somebody stuff me in a woodchipper if I ever start whining about younger generations or aggrandizing my own as if they were some astonishing breed and not the generation that most benefitted from privilege and most fucked up the goddamned world.

South Park reached new heights again this week. Jesus. Not gonna name names, but I know a guy in Washington who would absolutely have Stone and Parker taken out if he could.

Trump's favorability has dropped to 33%. Damn, those are some Hillary Clinton-style numbers there. If he goes any lower, maybe she could run against him next time.
What? Um, no, Hillary, I did NOT mean that. Have a donut.

I worry about folks going heavy* on the Ozempic. It seems to leave a lot of 'em in George Romero territory...

When Dems blow their advantage from the shutdown, if a majority of smart voices say it's failure don't listen to the few praising the Dems' strategy. They are in damage control mode & people like them have allowed the party to be shitty for years and gotten us to where we are.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Chuck, you either orchestrated this exact outcome or you have completely failed as a leader and should be replaced.

Fucking hell. Now I have to see people saying nice things not only about Dick Cheney but about Nancy Pelosi. And the week was going so well...
Maybe now we can limit rep's ownership and trading of stocks without her standing in the way. For no particular reason, of course.

I think about this often and I think it's because Democratic voters expect wonkish, fleshed out policy responses even if they don't understand the policies. GOP voters DO NOT CARE. This is borne out by years of political engagement.
Democrats are expected to provide think tank level policy proposals for every societal ill under the sun (fully paid for too, natch!!) while Republicans are just like "we'll figure something out" and the media nods along.🙃
Rep. Jeff Van Drew on Republicans' healthcare plan: "The plan is to come up with something better."

I did not know that former New York Yankee (which automatically makes him ethically dubious) Mark Texeira is running for Congress down here in Texas, nor that he is, yes, a Republican, nor that he is stridently anti-SNAP (and thinks recipients of SNAP use DoorDash).
What a prick.

NEWS: CBS News gutted its climate team as part of the big Paramount layoffs this week. These journalists had been doing incredible reporting on extreme heat, flooding, clean energy investments and more.

AND it's all of us or none of us, truly. We must continue to fight back in all the ways that we can.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
