trump just disobeyed a federal court, so Schumer moves the goalposts to say we have to be worried if he disobeys the SUPREME court. anything to avoid being compelled to action.

I hope Democrats learn from Merrick Garland’s mistakes and the failure of Obama’s “move on” strategy vis-a-vis Bush era war crimes, and understand that all these people ultimately need to go to prison.

It turns out rule of law was on the ballot.

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

We are witnessing the apotheosis of democratic consulting: believe in nothing, ignore your constituents, lie to the public, feverishly defend a status quo no one wants because of bad polls, while aggressively fundraising like televangelists. You couldn’t model elite alienation better if you tried.

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh

Does this qualify as an emergency yet or should we check the polling in swing districts first

this urge to launder rfk jr. as “just a guy who is right about a few things” is such a perfect example of how liberals are people who won’t take their own side in a fight

excellent piece www.politico.com/news/magazin...
