Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.
But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.
You can’t negotiate with people like that.

You can hide from your constituents by ducking Town Halls but there's nowhere to hide at the ballot box.
Voters in Wake County, and the rest of the US, have made it crystal clear: Trumpism is over.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

15 Republican senators have now joined all 47 members of the Democratic caucus on legislation to extend SNAP benefits during the shutdown.
In all, 62 senators are on this bill.
I say to Majority Leader Thune: Don't let kids go hungry in America. Call a vote on this bill NOW!

Trying to blame the Dems cutting off SNAP (while sitting on billons of available contingency funds) as his boss bulldozes the WH to build a ball room like Saddam's palace, sends $40 billion to bail out Argentines, and eats "gold adorned" brownies in Korea is not gonna work.
Mike Johnson: "On Saturday, things are gonna become very dire."
With great power comes great responsibility. Republicans are in charge right now. They may not have 60 votes, but they hold the gavel, and that means it’s on them to negotiate.
You cannot keep the government closed, refuse to talk, and then blame Democrats for the mess you created.

American Oligarchs don’t have enough money to pay more taxes but have enough money to give $300M to the destruction of the White House, bribe Trump by buying $800M in Trump Crypto, and pay military salaries during the Trump Epstein Shutdown. GTFOHWYBS
Ioffe: I don't think that what's being done to the white house, you don't do that, if you think that anybody else is going to inhabit this thing after you and if you are planning on leaving power.
BREAKING:
Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public.
In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.
