I will not stop resisting unless we lose the midterms. If we lose them, we WILL become a dictatorship.

Our slide into authoritarian rule would not be possible without Trump's willing accomplices. William Pulte's corruption of the bureaucracy to single out the mortgages of Trump foes like Lisa Cook for "investigation" is the perfect example of this.

Furious Trump’s Firing of Fed’s Lisa Cook May Be about to Backfire
The fired Fed governor has filed suit against Trump—and the discovery process may allow her celebrated lawyer to find out if the White House ordered a Trump loyalist to move against her.

We've seen terrific pushback by Dem governors.
Pritzker is leading the way, but Walz and Moore have come out swinging too and even Hochul has found a bit of a spine. Other issues aside, Newsom's social media game is strong and showing results.
There's a popular model here for congressional Dems.

I just do not understand the general reaction to Trump by Democrats. Pritzker throws one punch and he's clearly freaked out. Standing up to bullies has been a thing for thousands of years for a reason. It works. And yet! Democrats remain in a defensive crouch.

Not many people know this, but all of the major political changes and social movement successes of the twentieth century -- from the New Deal to the civil rights movement to the Great Society -- were achieved because Democratic voters lay perfectly still and never pushed their representatives to act

A beautiful tribute to my friend Melissa Hortman, created in crop art by her colleague Rep Athena Hollins to honor the incredible impact she and her husband Mark had on so many.

The irony is rich — Trump wants DOJ to sue California over redistricting while he celebrates Texas gerrymandering maps he personally pushed for. And now other red states are lining up to do the same.

Perhaps this is what republicans meant all these years, when they talked about small government. Kill some of us. Survival of the fittest to labor in the work camps. One party. One leader. Sham elections. Too bad Bozo will be too old to enjoy it. Fat ankles and all.
