Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

BESSENT: We inherited this fiscal situation-- BENNET: You inherited it from Donald Trump! He's the first president to come back after a four year hiatus after we know exactly what the last tax cuts did, which was blow a massive hole in our deficits and debt. You can't sit here and lie about that!

Historically voters see border enforcement and treatment of immigrants already here as separate matters. They want strong border enforcement, but they want immigrants already here treated humanely. There is no precedent for Trump's terrorizing of immigrant communities to have broad support.

Newsom’s biggest general election liability is being associated with, and much of his record heavily determined by, California Progressives. Don’t particularly like him and I don’t think he can win, but most folks on here continue to misunderstand the electorate and why Newsom can’t win.

This is what we're talking about when we say it's antisemitic to conflate all Jews everywhere with the actions of the Israeli govt. Defacing a memorial to the 1/3 of world Jewry that Hitler slaughtered won't free Palestine, but it does tell me a lot about you. 🎁🔗 www.haaretz.com/world-news/2...

Portnoy is annoying but his line of thinking does represent a big chunk of the electorate, and man maybe Dems can just talk a little different, sound a little different and get more of these votes. Don’t abandon a single principle, just distance yourself from the off-putting aspects of Left’s brand.

Rejecting truths because shitty people acknowledge said truth is a bad but common theme on the left.

Please don’t set WayMo cars on fire. Jesus Christ. Just hooligans looking for an excuse to riot in a manner than has zero to do with protecting the community from ICE, while the fascists lick their lips at the pretext to hurt all of us being handed to them on a silver platter.

Never forget that what we are seeing happen right now was an explicit and open campaign promise of Trump's.

This is why you don’t throw rocks, you don’t vandalize, you don’t get violent. Even in blue cities, 60-80% the police are just waiting for the pretext to go full gestapo. Even if this poor guy did nothing, he’s paying the price of protestors that gave these fascist thugs their pretext.

Keep protesting. Don’t light cars on fire. Distracts from a situation in which Trump looks bad for over the top raids that spurred the crisis and his obvious exploiting of the crisis he started. Really nothing is more counterproductive. Just throwing him a lifeline.

Rounding up people at Home Depot looking for day work and small local restaurants means you're not raiding the factories, meat packing plants, and job sites of big Republican donors.

Nichols is right. If you’re waving a flag it’s the US flag. You’re protesting ICE (peacefully) because ICE is disrupting the fabric of the USA.

The guy who called a mob to DC to be "wild" to overturn an election might have an interest in inciting violence for his own purposes? Naw, that can't be it.

This, by @nbcnews.com is embarrassing water carrying for a lying admin. It (1) brings up the horse race "is this bad for Dems?" idea and (2) pretends the indictment is way stronger than it is and (3) accepts the DOJs framing of everything www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Throwing bricks at ICE isn’t going to help. Seriously it’s going to get so much worse. You’re being goaded into their Reichstag fire situation.

Any political reporters had the balls to follow up with Trump about the Epstein tapes? Are they just going to let this drift away again? I know that Biden has gotten several days older while all this has unfolded, but ... still.

Look idk if I’m brave enough to confront ICE, but I still say take off the damn Keffiyeh and put on an American flag. That’s the visual you want out there.

The Press lost their mind when Biden ended child separation in early 2021, although they knew not to cite the policy specifically. But WaPo’s top immigration reporter lost his mind full nativist, ABC did the desk at the border, and NYT fact checker cited literal hate groups to fact check Biden.

The US record on protecting Afghans who helped our military in that war has been pretty weak to begin with, but now we are deporting them to a very credible risk of death. Why would any other allies on the ground work with the US military in the future?

Political reporters across the nation sigh with relief that they no longer have to cover the fact Trump is a pedophile now that Musk has deleted the tweet.
