Trump is affected by speeches like Tillis’s speech to the Senate

I’m going to push back A little on the argument that speeches by GOP senators against Putin, and reaffirming support for Zelensky are pointless…that Trump doesn’t care. Narcissists care about how they are perceived. You will be able to gage how much by the level of Narcissistic Rage that ensues.

For those of you who are incredulous and discouraged that, altho Trump is under water in new polls, it still isn’t enough…patience. The snowball is gathering speed.

Hello friends. I know times are dark but it is incredibly important not to lose hope. And, this week there are signs of hope and it paramount we recognize that hope, not let up and build. A thread on this if I may. You may appreciate this on a Friday. Come along with me. 🧵 (1/10)

@marcelias.bsky.social Thank you Marc, and Democracy Docket, for keeping us all informed. But mostly for keeping the all lawless ninjas honest with your law suits.

Shout out to Jasmin Crockett. She is in your face in the best tradition of “ good trouble”.

@maddow.msnbc.com Rachel, first of all it is such a treat to have you on every night! I want to suggest to all your viewers a simple action they can take each day….pour yourself a cuppa, and call 5 to 20 Senators and Congressmen, 1/2 in each party to let them know we are watching carefully.

Hey , you all…call a few Republican Senators every day. You don’t have to be a constituent. Their policy votes determine your life quality as much as it does their state constituents. Pick up the phone. In the comfort of your own home…over your morning cuppa

@maddow.msnbc.com Rachel, I call Senator Cassidy every day. I am a life long progressive. I also call 10 other Republican Senators.

I’d like to amend my kneejerk response to Judge Chutkin’s ruling on Tuesday. It may very well be that she is playing the long game. When harm actually manifests, due to Musk’s rampage, a more solid, appeal proof case can be presented. Apologies to the Judge.

@marcelias.bsky.social Can you help us understand Judge Chutkin’s ruling. On its face it looks pretty regressive. Can you unpack this for us?

@weissmann11.bsky.social Please weigh in on Judge Chutkin’s ruling. It seemed a little like cutting the baby in half, essentially killing it. Your thoughts?

BTW, shame on Judge Chutkin.

I second Rachel Maddow’s suggestion that we pronounce DOGE, “Doggie”.

Hegseth self identifies as a “Christian Nationalist”. I get the Nationalist part….he loses me at “Christian”.

And BTW, did anyone catch Bondi’s lie at her presser? “Cathy Hochel and Leticia James have been charged with insubordination…” HUH? Not. No charges. How do these people just get away with lies, time after time after time. The press needs to focus better on this.

I’d like to respectfully push back on the narrative that Democrats are weak and lack a leader. “Don’t follow leaders, watch your parking meters”. Dylan. Warren, Danders, Murphy, Jeffries, Schiff, Raskin…..we have an embarrassment of leaders. Do we really want to be like “them”…MAGA cultists?

We need to urge Democratic big money donors to focus on Media. We absolutely cannot afford to have our media going under behind huge lawsuit settlements. I’m just sayin’

I am encouraged by the Bluesky subscribers who are contributing intelligently, listening and responding with humor and serious intent. Let’s keep building community in this time of shadow. Love y’all!
