Should Democrats take money from someone whose factory violated the Clean Air Act for 12 of the last 12 quarters? Should they welcome someone who operated a racist workplace? Who violated NLRB rules? Who committed securities fraud? Who lied to get a government loan? Who ripped off green subsidies?

I cannot stress enough, this is Trump making your kids tuition at any institution more expensive by scaring away international students who pay full-freight and thus subsidize US students' tuition. That's how Dems should attack: Trump wants college to be more expensive. Trump take college.

This is stupid framing. Van Hollen seized a moment and drilled home the horrid nature of trumps immigration policy. It’s also when the White House posted video of masked jack boot thugs stuffing innocent people into prison. Dems DIDNT STOP visiting El Salvador the media stopped covering it!

the longer you spend on the internet the more true this rings trolls are not original and they're not interesting and eventually you have seen them all everyone is of course welcome to do their own thing but as someone who's tried it all, 'don't engage and block' is easily the best approach

Not to get all Judge Dredd, but it feels like a lot of people on here do not think crime is real. There are only wacky hijinks and chaotic good acts of altruism which people think are crimes. But crime and criminals are real. Sometimes criminals even puppet a criminal president to do mega crimes.

You will never achieve power if the impression plebs get from your own propaganda is that they’ll end up poorer. I cannot emphasize enough how “degrowth” is the worst possible framing for a “Green New Deal.”

Republican support for gay marriage has fallen to 41%. For those in the LGBTQ+ community who do not believe they are coming after gay marriage next after their draconian anti-trans restrictions, you're in for a surprise - we are all in this together.

This is what "anti-DEI" means to the Trump administration. It's not "some corporate DEI measures are pointless or counterproductive," it's "women and people of color are presumptively unqualified for important government jobs"

This is why the election result matters, even though the same party has held onto the presidency Moderate governing coalition was already dealing with internal tensions - that will likely get worse now that there's no prospect of getting over the presidential vetos

Actions that do great immediate harm and have no credible path to making the world better, are not excused by someone shouting a slogan you like beforehand, or having some symbolic resonance with a sympathetic cause. All the sneering at consequentialist reasoning has driven some people off a cliff.

Musk has now traveled through an entire arc of embracing anti-black crime panic narratives, embracing overt race science, embracing swastika-bearing neo-Nazis, openly promoting Nazi conspiracy theories, introducing them throughout government policy - all without political elites noticing or caring.

Yup, and Dems need to start saying this. It's a great time to be a criminal, there's no more fed law enforcement, they're all sipping coffee cosplaying in military gear while waiting for law-abiding migrants on their way out of immigration hearings.

This is the ur-NYT column, the template, the holy mountain on which their ideal columnists are all born: of course we don’t endorse what these nasty fascists are doing but if you think about it they have a point and (inhales deeply, turns to camera) It’s Complicated.

Nostalgia in politics can work for more than one thing, it doesn't only have to be a guy saying "Don't you miss being racist" it could be a different guy saying "Remember when people had pensions"
