Republicans will make up the most insane garbage and all unify behind it without question. One Democrat does something that hasn't been poll tested and we have to deal with garbage takes from consultants about messaging ad nauseam.

You're simply not going to be able to turn parents away from Ms. Rachel with propaganda. She could murder a close family member and her face is still going to be on in the house showing kids how to wave.

I think most of us in Memphis could feel that the vibes have been bad this season even though our performance was fine until the all star break. Seems crazy to fire your coach as you approach the playoffs but I don't think many of us expected anything other than a first round exit.

She's also super young. She could do another two decades in Congress and then run for president and still be a younger than average candidate.

There was a lot of very boring downtime while I was serving on a sequestered jury for an attempted murder trial - but if you stripped all that out, it was very interesting and I can see a market for emphasizing the intrigue of the deliberative process.

I'm not the type to be a "fan" of politicians I agree with but this particular betrayal by Schatz hurt more than the others.

who will be the first racist in the administration to brazenly suggest that if there are HBCUs that there must then be HWCUs?

I can't think of another politician that has sought power with no particular preference on what they'd do if they got it. Had he become president he might have been the least memorable of modern times.

It's like the one place the slippery-slope argument is true. Capitulation begets capitulation.

Jeffries managing to get a bunch of Democratic house members to take a potentially risky vote on principle only to have Chuck surrender is such a betrayal

Calculated cowardice is still cowardice. Whatever his reasons are, people don't see reasons - they see actions. They can defend their reasoning for the next two years but all that will matter is what happened.

Really feel like the "these guys are weird" was the first attempt the left made at doing this and it got jettisoned into space.

Tim Walz reading an AG1 ad would be the heat death of the Democratic party.

I really think there needs to be more messaging about Trump seriously wanting to change the US-Canada border. A lot of the talk about annexing Canada revolves around vague assertions of economic dependence - and not the concrete, "we're going to move the US border further into Canadian territory"

I have visions of a bleak future where Democrats never regain the House and yet Hakeem Jeffries manages to eternally remain the House Minority Leader.

I flip back and forth between Vance being a true believer and a monorail peddler.

It reads like he's conducting a lecture and not leading an opposition party at a time of glaring fascism.

Another thing that confuses me about this is that he's obviously running for the dem nomination. To even get to the general where *maybe* this gross position nets him some points, he has to be elected by more highly engaged democratic voters that don't hold this view (as much).

People like seeing leaders take big swings. I want to see democrats come out and take big swings on job programs, universal healthcare, basic income, etc. Come out forcefully and confidently behind big ideas and stand up for them when the pushback starts. People like seeing that.

This is true and also leads to funny moments like when Tommy Tuberville knows approximately what he's supposed to be mad about but then says something like "they found transgender rats in a girl's locker room" and we all just kinda have to deal with it

I'm hoping the "they're professional protestors" deflection starts falling flat as more of the protestors are Republican voters.

The couch in this setting just seems strange. Every time there's an event like this with press and aids standing in circle around powerful people sitting in chairs - the guys on the couch just seem so out of place.

It's going to be so stupid when they finish cutting all these federal jobs and contracts and somehow still manage to increase federal spending.

She's going to become our governor, realize she doesn't have the resources she needs to help Tennesseans when they need it, and learn absolutely nothing. And I guess smash a lot of dinnerware in the process.

In my everyday life I look for opportunities to radically do nothing. I'm a rabid do nothinger. I fight day in and day out to do nothing. People think I'm lazy, but to Carville, I'm a radical hero.
