On JD Vance: “I was never more sick than when JD asked Zelenskyy why Ukraine doesn’t just stop fighting. They’re fighting because Putin invaded & started killing their women and children. To even ask that question is just so idiotic.” Thanks to @adamkinzinger.bsky.social for the discussion.

David Jolly "was always, he says, a George H.W. Bush Republican." Now he's a Democrat, and he might just be the next Florida governor:

An uplifting, reality-based campaign for governor? Could it work? In Florida? Keep an eye on David Jolly. He's only been a Democrat since last month, but his approach seems promising for Democrats all over. I interviewed him for @thebulwark.com. Much more here ⬇️ www.thebulwark.com/p/david-joll...

In an era that looked as if it might be defined by an American man of depraved cruelty, corruption & shame, what a magnificent thing the Catholic Church has done. The elevation of an American man of goodness, grace, humility, mercy & faith to the Throne of St. Peter is moving & momentous for us all.

The Trump administration—unlike most previous administrations—is causing a great many Direct Personal Consequences. But Direct Personal Consequences should not be the determinative factor in people’s understanding of the world or their voting behavior.

@jvl.bsky.social: "Stop treating the politicians and commentators and other MAGA enablers who say these things as though they are acting in good faith. These are fascists who see violence deployed by law enforcement as desirable when it is useful to them." www.thebulwark.com/p/deadly-for...

Former Republican member of Congress and current MSNBC commentator @davidjolly.bsky.social, who is now a Democrat, says he can get elected Florida governor next year — as a Democrat. “This is a very serious endeavor,” he said. “This is not a vanity project.” #Florida #politics

The stupidity on the Sunday Shows from the clowns in this administration is going to spark a bloodbath tomorrow in Americans’ retirement accounts. These guys clearly have no idea what they’re doing. They are wrecking the entire ship.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

Despite help from Elon Musk and Scott Presler, the most powerful MAGA Republican in Lancaster County, PA, just lost a special election in a R+15 state senate district to small town Democratic mayor James Malone. A huge flip for PA Senate Dems. A huge flop for Josh Parsons and the Republican Party.

Where are Rotarians and @rotaryinternational who should be up in arms over the US govt purposely causing a resurgence of polio worldwide, as this has been one of their signature humanitarian issues for decades? newrepublic.com/post/192520/...

Don't hyperventilate over closing of Educ.Dept. It was a sop to teachers' unions to begin with in 70s. Most functions can be transferred to Treasury (loans/grants) and unrestricted block grants to states for K12. Bigger fish to fry in opposing Trump.

Dear Democratic leadership: This is not a time for 1990s politics. The country’s back is against the wall, our economy is hanging by a thread, we’re selling out allies, and people’s livelihoods are at stake. Our country is rudderless with a lunatic at the helm. Somebody step up.

“The Trump Show is sinking your retirement, raising your prices, dumping our allies, and appeasing our enemies. They have no idea what they’re doing. We need to stop the chaos and get back to basics.” This is literally all that Democrats need to say for the next 20 months.
