the primary thing that i want in a dem member of congress or a democratic governor going forward is to view the republican party as a collection of fascists and traitors who should be burned alive in front of one another as a warning to the rest of them, and everything else is (somewhat) negotiable

It's be really nice if boilerplate repeating Elon Musk's thus far unsubstantiated claim to be cutting costs included reference to the value of contracts he receives and mention of the tax cuts he stands to receive. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/u...

Washington Post got their hands on internal documents from DOGE showing the entire plan to implement resegregation. They're going to purge minorities from government by calling them DEI. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

Listen. When you look at photos of the 1960s civil rights movement, of those fine ass people dressed in their Sunday best being assaulted with milkshakes, dogs, and batons refusing to fight back i need you to know you're looking at effective, honest, useful, propaganda

I'd go a step further that Trump is at worst, very very slightly underwater. They still have a fair amount of popular support! The "they obviously believe they will never face voters again" stuff is when they're doing shit like this when they have 20% approval, not 45-55.

People keep saying that the GOP are acting like they're never going to face an election again, but I'm not really seeing it. They're acting like they always have in power, disorganized craven and corrupt. It doesn't feel that different from when they were in the minority.

I feel like people going crazy over these posts do not understand that in the budget fight, the Republicans have to come to Jeffries to help get enough votes and everybody in DC knows it

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE full access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Zuckerberg's MAGA makeover confirms it: The war on "woke" is cover for a war on workers. It is pathetic how billionaires like Zuckerberg and Musk resent the fleets of middle-class desk workers that made them wealthy. www.salon.com/2025/01/17/t...

FWIW, the "you're acting like norms apply any more, you fool! Trump will be an unconstrained dictator and nothing can stand in his way!" chorus is not only tedious, it's also just wrong. Trump has already had 2 nominees withdraw under fire, and a third is on the rocks. (1/x)
