Has any Democratic leader in Congress or Governor or anyone with aspirations for 2028 spoken out against this?

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

That's right. Dems think "Turning down the temperature" means they'll be perceived as reasonable adults, but what it actually means is THEY WON'T BE PERCEIVED AT ALL, because they'll leave the headlines, which means that public opinion will be once again governed by atmospheric social media vibes.

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

Few stories better capture modern policing than this one about a conspiracy of private corporate interests paying off-duty state troopers as part of a "shadow force" to cleanse downtown Nashville of homeless people using metal chains, cages, and violence.

Stephen Miller said recently that American scientific achievement in the mid-20th century owed little to immigrants, given immigration quotas at the time. Someone should tell him that from 1945- 1974, 16 of the 30 U.S. winners of the Nobel in physics were immigrants www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

Somewhere between 60%-70% of those on Medicaid are actually working. So upwards of 140k of your own constituents are doing what you want, but you’ll strip them of healthcare anyway. Good news is, that will just make your state sicker and cost taxpayers more which is the Republican project so … yay!

An easily winnable strategy for Democrats would have been to oppose MAGA at every level since 2018. But no, they failed to rise up even to that occasion. Project 2025 revealed the playbook years ago, and the Democrats were naive enough to think it wouldn’t have been accomplished. Look where we are.

It’s amazing how Democrats are utterly incapable or unwilling to stop the authoritarian takeover of the country. They think if they do nothing, the voters will elect them in the midterms. We need fighters.
