Democrats are focusing on winning a handful of swing seats 18 months from now. That’s not unimportant. But they think they can do that by downplaying, rather than drawing attention to, the constitutional crises going on right now. This makes the crises worse.

all of you who have been talking about needing a party leader realize that we don’t have to vote on one, right? like, we can decide on one, and that can be independent of who whips congressional votes.

Imagine how embarrassing it would be reading about the rise of a fascist state in a history book and seeing a picture of the opposing party holding up signs saying like “this is not good!”

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

Just an obvious point that anyone with the inside word on when these these total reversals are going to be announced is in a position to make almost limitless amounts of money. Don't forget that given the kind of people who make up this administration.

I'm not saying that Satan is real, I'm just saying that if J Edgar is watching this from down in hell, seeing the FBI Headquarters sold at the direction of a KGB agent would be a pretty amazing torment

If Donald Trump was trying to install a Maltese-American as president in January 2029, how would he be behaving differently?

On Feb. 25, 1960, Alabama St. students staged a sit-in at a lunch counter in Montgomery. A few days later, the governor threatened to cut the colleges funding unless it expelled the students. He also commended white people who patrolled the street w/ baseball bats for their "tolerance and restraint"

At some point the opposition needs to say what is happening here: Donald Trump is a tyrant in the full sense of the term, an American fascist dictator who believes the law flows directly from his command. And he is also a deeply unwell, unfit, and criminal man with nonsensical whims

You know how out of it Reagan was in his second term? Donald Trump is four years and eight months older than that.

I’m most galled by the up-is-down chutzpah. In Jeffries’s world, swaddling chickenshit frontliners by making the party captive to Trump’s abuse is a power move, while taking unprecedented steps to express contempt is getting “run off the block” like cowards. That’s piss on your leg, not rain.

If you’re a professor in a classroom today & you don’t mention this, I believe you’re doing your students a profound disservice. This is targeted 1st at international students, but it’s deliberately broad enough to lay groundwork for a scene Trump & Hegseth have fantasized: troops on campus.

Raising chickens is more expensive than grocery store eggs, but also, bird flu is endemic in wildlife at the moment. Asking people to do this with zero safety precautions or knowledge is a great way to get more people infected and raise the chance that we get a human transmissible version.

I agree that the Democrats desperately need to pay attention to how Zelenskyy recognized that groveling and moderation get you nowhere with the fascist demons squatting in the White House right now.

Unconstitutional. Appropriations bills are laws. If the president is not bound by them, he can make laws by fiat and is acting like a dictator. No Democrat can vote for any appropriations or debt ceiling bill while this is happening.

really hard to overstate the degree to which NYC's "disorder" is just a result of the city's cops feeling like they're above actually having to perform their job

Don't print lies in the newspaper. Trump is pausing aid because he's on Russia's side of the conflict and wants to help Putin. He falsely claims it's to get a negotiated peace. WaPo prints it because Bezos wants to help Trump

My qualified defense, and a qualified critique, of Jeffries and Schumer basically boils down to the fact that they are acting as legislative leaders (their putative jobs) rather than political leaders (what many Democrats, and others, want from them right now). A quick thread
