Three Wins Today (March 12, 2025) 1. Guantánamo Bay has been cleared out again. We don’t know why, but I’m sure it has something to do with backlash. 2. Tim Walz is headed out on a town hall tour in Red district! He is starting in Zach Nunn’s district in Iowa 1/2

Key issue here is that DC sens (Va and Maryland) don’t seem to have a good sense of where their constituents are on this. And these states do get hit hardest by any shutdown. I’ve been somewhat surprised that most govt workers I’ve spoken to think fighting now if their only hope.

🧵The intersection of the Musk & Putin agendas are coming into focus. Here's what I think is happening. I hope I'm wrong. Key to understand: 1. Trump=POTUS in Name Only (PINO), while Musk runs the US day to day. 2. Musk & Putin put T in office; many of his actions now are repayment of that debt.

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 ...

I find it incomprehensible that so many Democratic politicians post on Twitter but NOT on Bluesky. I post on both platforms whenever possible, but I’ll post on Bluesky FIRST. I mean, WTF? 🤬

Himes: "It just looks like an episode of The Sopranos. 'Give us your minerals or we're not gonna help you fight a bloody butcher.' I mean, is this really we want the greatest country in history to be known for -- some mafia thing? ... this president is standing with the bad guy"
