Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

If Democrats somehow win back Congress and the presidency with majorities willing to pass wholesale reforms and rein in the Supreme Court, enacting proportional representation needs to be near the top of the agenda

His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

This is a good thread that I recommend people check out, but I would add two notes:
1. The Roberts court has sanded down the law to make corruption prosecutions much more difficult (something they don't do in virtually any other area of criminal law).

So. Would there be legitimate reasons for the Trump administration to decide not to charge Tom Homan for accepting a Cava bag with $50k in cash in exchange for the promise to influence the Trump administration?
Actually, yes.

They could have done something like this in the Trump immunity case and given a chance for the special counsel to take Trump's federal election subversion charges to trial.

1) America is not a democracy, and because it isn't, your vote in the 2028 general election will not really matter unless you live in one of a handful of states.
2) 2028 will be one of the most wide open primaries in history and there's no reason to preempt critiques of candidates on these grounds.

They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

they don't know what to do because they think winning elections is their job. if they had substantive ideals that they fought for, and winning elections was merely an instrument for achieving those ends, they'd know exactly what to do. they don't even realize this is a problem.
give us a bit of time we've only had three months to prepare! it's not like Trump is a known quantity or that we were handed a complete roadmap for everything ahead in the form of a handy book of policy intentions they released like monologuing villains

“Give us a little time,” Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin also said. “This is brand new.”

The best chance for the Democratic Party to stop this was January 7th, when everyone was on their side. They frittered away the easy path with their cowardice and are far too weak to take the harder one now that it’s the only option.
