Most debates about What Democrats Should Do don't address their lack of an aligned media apparatus, policy support for independent media, navigating the attention economy, or year-round organizing. It's difficult to debate the potential effect of any policy choice absent these deeper issues.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is prominent in politics. Politicians who overestimate their expertise on complicated matters might push for overly simplistic solutions or ignore expert advice, leading to harmful policies. This overconfidence is often reinforced by advisors who share their views.

This is outrageous. Seniors, people with disabilities, and families shouldn't be forced to go to Elon's website to learn what's happening to their hard-earned benefits.

Trump is forcing Americans who are seeking their earned benefits to sign up for Elon Musk's app. Pure corruption.

As a corollary to this, the total breakdown, among normies on the right, of the idea that it's better to let the guilty go free than to punish the innocent is very scary to me. The general reaction I have seen to the Abrego Garcia situation is "Well, sucks to be him, but it won't happen to me."

Everything Rubio is doing here is beyond evil and fucked up, that said, they did not actually argue Khalil should be deported for his beliefs. This is the relevant section of the memo, where they say it's for his actions in protests and other activities. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

On April 11, 1865, Pres. Lincoln gave his final speech on record. He praised Louisiana for ending slavery, urged Black voting rights, & called for seceded states to be restored to the Union—just days before he was assassinated. 131 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdownToSRD

"If you don't stand up and fight now, if you don't take a position now, it's going to be too late," Eric Holder tells Rachel Maddow. "The time is now to stand up and do all that we can to fight this administration."

Nobody is saying this. They have to conjure up imaginary libs to argue with since they can’t win a debate with real ones on this issue.

It’s hard to remember that only 10 weeks ago, the American economy was quite good, our foreign relations were on the whole positive, we were on the way to dealing with climate change with subsidies for wind and solar energy, and we still lived in a democracy. Today, all of that has disappeared.

Alert... many more than 20% of HHS layoffs are bad for the general public. The cutters call them "mistakes." I call it moronic, unqualified, stupidity.

Elon literally has his mommy go on tv to defend him against attacks. That’s the kind of weak shit we are dealing with. Elon Musk is a weak ass punk.

It seems so long ago, but in fact this was the State of the Union less than three months ago when we had a steady captain running the ship.

Trump has a weird fascination with President McKinley, who held office from 1897 to 1901, a time when high tariffs concentrated wealth in the hands of industrialists while workers and farmers faced hunger and homelessness, low wages and high prices, and factory closings. McKinley was assassinated.

Stocks plummeted Thursday, sending the S&P 500 back into correction territory for its biggest one-day loss since 2020, after Dumbfuck Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs, raising the risk of a global trade war that plunges the economy into a recession. Trade wars are easy to start but difficult to stop.

#ProudBlue A touching, heartfelt moment when @booker.senate.gov broke the record. In an interview later, he said he "trained" for this by fasting and limiting his water. He said we all need to realize the damage the reconciliation bill will do to generations just for tax cuts to the wealthy.
