Love this phrase: “the grift, the graft, and the gruffety-gruff” - when they financially ruin everyday Americans who buy the products and services their billionaire buddies sell, the cycle grinds to a halt.
"Trump and Vance imagine that they can grift endlessly. They do not understand that their grift depends upon the honest labor and decent convictions of millions of Americans. Were there not Americans who actually worked, there would be nothing and no one to grift."

Cygnal calls for a “recalibration of messaging” by Republicans. No, Republicans need to stop enabling chaos and corruption. That’s a recalibration of actions, not finding different ways to excuse what they have done to our country.
A new poll from Cygnal, a Republican pollster, shows that for the first time in two years, voters whose top priority is inflation and the economy now prefer a generic Democrat over a Republican.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

why do we allow private equity in our society? it's obviously bad for everyone in the world except the people doing it. it should be illegal like fraud

I'm mad about the shut down and worried about healthcare, but not letting people starve is a pretty good reason to cave on this bureaucratic fight, the more I think about it. So just say that: Republicans wanted you to starve rather than compromise, so we let this one go.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.
