I miss Harry Reid so much.
I’ll say it again—Trump needs to be straight with the American people and explain what his strategy is and what the hell he’s doing in the Caribbean.
President Trump says in an interview with WABC radio in New York that the U.S. had “knocked out” a Venezuelan facility, a move that would be a major escalation in U.S. military strikes.

I am being gradually converted to British style unwritten constitutionalism because "it works how we all think it works" is a much more sensible system than this "if you read the constitution backwards while standing on one leg and divide every third word by the number of vowels" bullshit.
I regret to inform you there’s a new post telling us we’re rubes who’ve missed the obvious & clear meaning of the Const’n for a century.
This is the type of post you make when your goal is to juice engagement from those who want nothing more than to be told their policy goals are const’l commands.

something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things
they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore

There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors

If the Dem blob leadership largely aims to win any majority with discount Manchin/Sinema/Fetterman clones, the filibuster won’t go away and we won’t be able to fix anything.
The upcoming budget showdown in January will tell us a lot about whether @schumer.senate.gov can be trusted again to lead

I’ve seen no serious engagement from senior Dems about what, exactly, they plan to do in terms of reasserting congressional power, as in identifying the available tools and thinking seriously about ways to use them to dig us out of the current state of total constitutional collapse.
Pelosi: "Right now, Republicans in Congress have abolished the Congress. They just do what the president insists that they do. That will be over as soon as we have the gavel."

The Abundance movement often points to environmental groups as the obstacles to building. But who actually files the lawsuits blocking projects? It’s not environmental groups. It’s been lawyered-up HOAs protecting property values all along. Regulation by litigation is the problem.

I think we know who to thank for the failure of Trump's effort to bully Indiana Republicans into passing a new gerrymander: Aftyn Behn, Eric Gisler, and every Democrat who's run in a special election this year.
The GOP saw all these overperformances, and they were right to be scared.

They pretty much want to ethnically cleanse the United States of anyone who doesn’t descend from the Mayflower.
Don’t think for a minute they’re just talking about other people. They’re talking about you.

okay wow, even if Moulton is playing it up for his senate race this is a good thing to hear from someone like him
Strong message from Congressman Moulton:
“Mark my words: It may take some time, but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or outright murder.”

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
