Ok fuck off Axios: the Tea Party was an astroturf with major vampire capitalist money behind it, preying on people’s anger over a housing and credit crisis brought into sharp relief over the 2008 meltdown and 2007-2009 recession. Also being mad that the president was black, maybe a word for that?
"The senior House Democrat told Axios that a colleague called them after a town hall crying and said: 'They hate us. They hate us.'"

Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops.

"would you please put that in writing" is how you pull off insubordination without actually being insubordinate. Very useful when you are getting sketchy (whatever 'sketchy' might mean) instructions from someone who might not want to take responsibility for it later.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?
DON'T DO IT.

Repeated examples of republicans committing treason and getting away with it.
Remember the right-wing plot to sabotage Jimmy Carter’s re-election by urging Iran to hold American hostages longer? You don’t? It’s a shocking example of the American right’s treachery that more people should know about. (Gift link to 2023 NYT story.)

A prominent Texas politician said he unwittingly took part in a 1980 tour of the Middle East with a clandestine agenda.

White evangelicalism and its approach to the Bible has deep roots in slavery apologetics too and it’s evident today despite surface-level changes slapped on since the Civil Rights Movement’s accomplishments. Rotten from the start.

this was always an extremely plausible outcome of Harris losing!
There’s an outcome here where Abigail Spanberger and Josh Gottheimer win governorships next year, the media glows about the New New Democrats, the 2026 blue wave (which would have happened anyway) is similarly made up of moderates, and we get a commanding victory from President Josh Shapiro. 1/
