Is there a reason Dems continue to attack Dems rather than capitalize on the fact that Republicans are getting squirrely about DOGE? Don't want to attack the richest man in the world when he's down?

Delaying Mexican tariffs but not Canadian puts the lie to the idea that the tariffs have anything to do with fentanyl flows (since there are effectively no fentanyl flows across the northern border and there plenty across the southern border.) It was all an empty pretext anyway. This just proves it.

A tariff is a TAX. The company pays it — then passes along the cost as a price increase to YOU. So Donald Trump is raising YOUR taxes 25%.

Trumpism and Muskism are similar in that both rely on a shitposting ethos: just spout stuff and keep spouting stuff, don’t think about whether it’s true, the point is to keep spouting stuff. It’s a nihilistic worldview that treats truth with contempt.

Johnson needs Dem votes to keep the government open. AND he wants those votes to legitimate Elon's lawless destruction. This is the Democrats' best chance to educate the public about the coup in progress. Zero votes for Elon's coup must be our demand. Right? punchbowl.news/archive/2282...

This is why I'm hammering the Big Medicaid Lie. Even some Republicans are pretending not to get it. And the press is reporting it credulously. Trump wants to cut $900 billion from Medicaid and say he didn't do it. The millions uninsured were just gaming the system! www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them. Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

At some point, Trump has to decide who is running our government. Musk - who according to the White House is just an advisor - or the actual appointed leaders of agencies, who in many cases are telling federal employees not to respond to DOGE/OPM emails.
