So Russia has definitely officially now won the Cold War that we all thought was over for the last 4 decades....

People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

This is so unconscionable. Elon Musk is personally extorting Ukraine to get access to their minerals for his car batteries. Once again, Elon Musk is an existential threat to everyone on this planet. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

I understand that some democrats are more moderate than progressive, but I would rather, any day of the week, sixteen thousand times over, talk to a moderate democrat about issues and pull them further left than any MAGAt cultist. No, they're not "the same." And never were.

Honestly, I'd love to see other House Dems devote some of their floor time just to calling Musk a dick, over and over and over again. It'll highlight the Trump effort to crack down on protected speech, emasculate Ed Martin and completely enrage Elon Musk.

Best I can tell, the reasoning is: "The r-word was used a lot when I was in high school and therefore, because I'm not a mature adult, being asked not to use a slur oppresses me. I must right this injustice and pretend I am still living in my more glorious past by using that particular slur."

It’s amazing how many Republican politicians, Fox hosts, & commentators have come out to strongly disagree with Trump’s statements about Ukraine while none of them even mentioned his name while doing so. Their level of fear and terror of Trump is something to watch.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that the DNC chair's five-page memo "detailing how the Democratic Party will fight against Trump's war on working people" does not include a single blessed detail about "how the Democratic Party will fight against Trump's war on working people."

This would produce an impeachment of the US Attorney in a functional political system. Nonetheless, it's curious how Musk is referred to as "an appointed representative of [the] President" who has "government staff who work for him." What's his position? Who works for him? They've refused to say.

It’s been apparent for a ling time that there’s no possible way Trump leaves office again willingly. The plan is for him to some day die in office, and nothing Republicans have done since inauguration day suggests they’ll oppose this in any meaningful way.

I should just give up, but… Democrats should imagine what Republicans would have said and done if Merrick Garland had gone to, like, Netroots Nation, called Don Jr a crackhead, and mused about fabricating criminal charges against Joe Biden's enemies, and then say and do that.

"Donald Trump is constitutionally ineligible to run in 2028 and the text of the constitution is very clear about that" is a statement of fact, but "they want Trump to stay in power for life" is a statement of fact too.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.
