Are the "I'm sorry I voted for Trump" stories supposed to give us some kind of comfort as Trump disassembles our government & proud & valuable civil servants are sent home & Russia becomes America's new best friend? Because they don't and I'm sick of reading them.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

The vice president making fun of a child who gained notoriety through her passion for the slowing of climate change is almost too on the nose for the “where we are in America right now” bit. JFC, guys. JFC.

Polio survivor Mitch McConnell voted against RFK Jr. today because he knows he’ll harm public health. He had a chance to stop all this after January 6th and convict Trump in the Senate but was too big of a coward. He gets no credit for his “courage” today.

The Democratic strategy of responding to Trump by letting him dominate the news is probably smarter, but one issue is that over the last 7 years, the party has sold its voters a bag of goods that they can't deliver on through incessant fundraising texts + promises. Unsurprising that they're mad now

This should be a an easy one for the reliable Democratic candidate in this district, particularly since Cassel is so abhorrent. But Democrats have to vote and that hasn't been happening lately.

Bookmark it because I'm curious to see how it goes, but I think there is a real risk of Democrats being hit with a Tea Party-esque insurgency in 2026. Not in terms of a "burn it all down with lunatics" mentality, but more of a "our lawmakers are badly out of sync with our base".

Watch Marco Rubio slather praise on El Salvador’s strongman leader for this offer to house American citizens in Salvadoran prisons. It’s illegal, immoral and unworkable. And Rubio — a cum laude alum of Univ of Miami’s law school — knows that. But we see how quickly power corrupts the man.
