I'm sorry, but the Democratic party leadership needs to go.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

If I were an elected Dem today, here’s what I’d be doing: - Not cooperating with anything administration wants to do. No bailing the GOP out. Shut it down. - Daily fireside chats explaining how/why I’m fighting. - Calling them fash. - Attending protests. Calling for protests (at their homes?)

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

Massive, meaningful changes in governance done as a result of a ctrl-f for the word "transition." No one will ever believe how stupid this shit was.

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

Something that I think we can all agree on is that the current generation of Democratic leadership is simply not optimized for the Attention Age. Not really their fault! And honestly, they may be better people for it, but it's a pretty pressing political problem.

RIP to the absolute legend Jules Feiffer: political cartoonist, social satirist, comics historian, illustrated the Phantom Tollbooth, wrote screenplays for Robert Altman and Alain Resnais—and that’s the short version

He will steal, sir, an egg out of a cloister. For rapes and ravishments he parallels Nessus. He professes not keeping of oaths; in breaking ’em he is stronger than Hercules. He will lie, sir, with such volubility, that you would think truth were a fool.

This chart crushes me. There are more than five times as many billionaires as there were in 2000, and the average net worth per billionaire has nearly tripled, from $1.9bn to a staggering $5.1bn. They're fleecing us, undermining democracy, and burning the world - TAX THE RICH.
