The Canadian election result shows that the 2024 US election might have gone very differently if American voters could somehow have known in advance what it would be like to have Donald Trump as president

Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”

in New Hampshire, JB Pritzker hits the "simpering timidity" of many Dems: “Fellow Democrats, for far too long we’ve been guilty of listening to a bunch of do-nothing political types who would tell us that America’s house is not on fire,even as the flames are licking their faces"

i'm watching a group of conservative law professors insist that there is a grand debate over birthright citizenship that somehow escaped generations of scholarship and only popped into existence after a right-wing president announced an effort to nullify the 14th amendment.

To anyone who is not clear: The First Amendment protected Rumeysa Ozturk when she published her op-ed. The same way it has protected me. Rule of law means that we should be treated equally.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

You ever think about how Republican voters never need to urgently call their representatives out of fear that they're gonna collectively support the Democratic party agenda for no explicable reason? Must be nice!

Bookmark it because I'm curious to see how it goes, but I think there is a real risk of Democrats being hit with a Tea Party-esque insurgency in 2026. Not in terms of a "burn it all down with lunatics" mentality, but more of a "our lawmakers are badly out of sync with our base".

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

AOC going from vague left-NIMBY to actively self-IDing as YIMBY is when I went from “she’s a charismatic young progressive, cool!” to “give this woman an army” I think. Consequential policy issue where she did the reading and became an advocate for the better option even in the face of some headwind

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Dems beat Trump by a lot more in 2020 than he beat us in 2024, and the GOP didn't hand-wring about the need to find common ground with us. They treated us like enemies of the entire country and a critical mass of voters were convinced. "We need to compromise and accommodate" is not the lesson here.

"Communication is important in a relationship" is one of those bad ideas people like to repeat because it sounds good. But if you think about it the more you communicate the more likely you are to piss each other off. The only sure path to enduring happiness is to stay completely silent
