seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Eight Democrat Senators are willing to throw away a decade or more of political success so that they can more easily fly home on the weekends.

Senator King cites the SNAP benefits as an example of Trump gathering more executive power and leverage during the shutdown. But the cut-off of SNAP benefits had nothing Germaine to do with the shutdown! It was illegal!

The Supreme Court once again butchers equity and the law of stays in the course of making the world a worse place. And Justice Jackson is once again there to call them out on it with an opinion that will be a must-teach in any Remedies class

ICE is a team sport for guys who would otherwise be school shooters
“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”
Families "horrified" after daycare teacher pulled out of school by federal agents.
The incident happened in front of parents and children at Rayito de Sol in North Center, a parent said. They believe the employee, who cares for infants, is legally allowed to work in the United State...

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

unless we want to be right back here with a new wannabe dictator in a few years, we cannot let the energy behind last night's elections dissipate, nor can we let it be channeled into supporting the same exact politics that brought us here in the first place.

Democrats swept every race yesterday by a bigger margin than expected, and the press story is apparently "Dems did well but there is still a lot to worry about." Needless to say that this is not how a massive Republican shift would be covered.

According to the Rules of Punditry, this means that Tough on Crime is dead, and those who supported it need to think about how they Got It All Wrong.
That’s just how it works, esp w a win this big.

just in: Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner is on track to win easily.
With roughly a quarter of the vote reporting, he leads Pat Dugan 81% to 19%.
Krasner already beat Dugan in the Dem primary... and Dugan kept running as the GOP nominee. (My write-up: boltsmag.org/2025-prosecu...)

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.
