Cute argument. However I have already depicted you as the flouncing cavalier and myself as the professional roundhead. Your cavalry is doomed.

Between what came before and what happened tonight, Dems ought to treat encounters with CBS reporters as presumptively hostile and untrustworthy. A small thing, but there’s no way out of this disaster if the party continues helplessly submitting to unequal treatment from ~all mediating institutions.

Weird.

It's almost like her current boyfriend, the director of the FBI who flies her around the nation on government jets, might have shared information that would normally be limited to trusted law enforcement circles.

But that can't be right, because that would probably be a *crime*

Kash Patel’s girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, warns that additional sleeper cells are preparing to launch attacks across the United States.

How many 26-year-old, aspiring country singers do you know of who are featured media guests on sleeper cell attacks?

If California voters fail to pass Prop 50, the GOP could steal enough House seats to pass a nationwide abortion ban after 20 weeks, overriding state laws. Don't expect the Senate filibuster to save us—they might nuke it to end the shutdown
www.democracydocket.com/opinion/abor... @democracydocket.com

screeshot 1/2
Finally, in California, residents will consider Proposition 50, the redistricting measure designed to counteract GOP efforts to steal the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterms. Control of the House is important to block further attacks on reproductive freedom. After President Donald Trump pressured Texas Republicans to redraw their congressional map to favor the GOP, California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed a referendum on letting the legislature temporarily redraw congressional maps. (The task is usually left to an independent commission.) More Republican-led states are following Texas’ lead, and if Democrats don’t fight fire with fire, the House could have the votes to pass a national abortion ban after 20 weeks, or even earlier. In addition, friendlier districts could shield members of Congress from accountability for passing a bill “defunding” abortion providers that Trump signed on July 4.

screenshot 2/2:
A House with more comfortable margins for the GOP could pass another “defund,” possibly for more than just one year as in the current law. Planned Parenthood warned that kicking its affiliates out of Medicaid could lead to 200 clinics closing across the country, many in states where abortion is still legal. Planned Parenthood has called this federal funding exclusion a “backdoor abortion ban” because the procedure would still be legal on paper but much less accessible. That’s why Planned Parenthood Action Fund, local affiliate advocacy groups, and Reproductive Freedom For All are pulling out the stops for Prop. 50.

“If you live in Los Angeles you are used to having your city explained to you by people who come in for a couple of weeks, stay in a hotel in Beverly Hills and take in what they can get to within ten minutes in their rent-a-car. The thing that people find hard to understand is the magnitude of what’s here. The huge number of multiple cultures that live in the city that come together in this beautiful and haphazard fashion. And the fault lines between them are sometimes where you can find the most beautiful things.” - Jonathan Gold

I used to think this was just alarmist grifting but I am no longer so sure. While other outcomes remain very possible, the fully undemocratic one is now at least as likely.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

the SNAP thing is a good illustration of one of the ways Trump has been captured by the Republican establishment and not the other way around

when he first came onto the scene he had an instinctual understanding that “fuck the poors” was bad optics
