One of the problems, IMO, w/both Dems in Congress and the pundits screaming at them rather than the fascists is they still think fixing Trump is abt winning an election. That's a luxurious thought but wildly wrong-headed. Problem is winning enough non-, swing-, and GOP voters to halt things now.

Per Heather Cox Richardson, Putin ally Patrushev told a reporter “To achieve success in the elections [2024], Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. And as a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them.”"

Lemme share something with you. A lot of semi-Trumpy types are saying Zelensky blew it. All he had to do was show up, shake hands, say Trump is great and sign the docs. He couldn't do that. But there are also people in DC who are not Trumpy who are saying the same thing. Now, big picture this ...

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

You know what I'd do for the State of the Union Response? Take two quick-thinking, young voices in the party -- AOC and Frost? -- and just have them do 10-12 minutes of reaction in Pardon the Interruption format, complete with the screen graphics. Two minutes per topic, six topics, big finish, done.

Y'all, when Elon starts launching the paid protestors line at @indivisible.org, you know that what you're doing is working. Keep it up. And in case you needed a reminder, the next congressional recess is March 15th-23rd. And it's going to be loud. Let me be clear: we will not back down.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Wherein Elon says the quiet, corrupt part out loud: He intends to steal the private IRS data of his political enemies. How soon before he does the same to his economic competitors? Or you?

Another shoe drops. The acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration resigned after DOGE sought access to highly sensitive recipient information. Trump & Musk’s effort to steal your data and gut your hard-earned benefits continues. While the GOP remains silent.

Trump could have legitimately distanced himself from responsibility for bird flu, until he destroyed all government efforts to deal with it. Now he owns it. Masterful move, sir.

The AP must refuse this but more importantly the rest of the White House Correspondents Association should back them. Boycott the press briefings until they relent, and if they refuse, walk out. There is no real use to them in any case. Trump craves attention. Deny him that and he’ll cave.
