Reported by @mikesington.bsky.social: Carville and Dem consultants get paid the big bucks for the brilliant strategy of "don't do anything"

If only Eric Adams had gone nowhere when God first told him to do it. nypost.com/2025/02/16/u...

A Trump-Musk memo telling US government employees to hide what’s happening from the public is a sign that: 1) Public legitimacy is a constraint for them, they know it, and will at times alter their behavior accordingly 2) Reporters should focus on it, revealing more of what they’re trying to hide

Trump trying to nullify 14A's birthright citizenship is a big test for what remains of the Constitutional system.

Biden just commuted Leonard Peltier's sentence. Good on him

Hey, Michigan, you want Trump to win? Done! I'll send you Bill Clinton and Ritchie Torres. Love, The Democrats

I’m so old I remember when Ted Kennedy was diagnosed with brain cancer, like the doctor looked him in the face and said you’re not going to live for six more years, and then he ran for another six year Senate term. Democrats had literal decades to give a shit and they simply chose not to every time

This Friday is the 249th anniversary of #ThomasPaine’s pamphlet #CommonSense which turned America’s colonial rebellion into a revolution for independence and the making of a democratic republic! 🇺🇸

At age 18, I was a Republican, and I voted for Ross Perot. Choosing between these two photos, I would vote for the guy serving fries at McDonald's. Kamala Harris worked at McDonald's - why didn't she even try to get her picture taken like this? Cheney/Harris is career politician world, not mine

This is what she gets for endlessly clinging onto power

Obama, you are not a leader. You were/are status quo www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

It is difficult to get the Democrats to punch their way out of a paper bag, when their salary depends on not punching it
