This, in passing, is why the Dem leaders’ insistence on only talking “kitchen table issues” is missing the moment. There’s an opportunity to cast the Dems as the /conservative/ party, in the sense of respecting the “ancient liberties” of America, against the authoritarian innovations of Trump.
The legislative branch refusing to vote supply does not “hand the keys of the kingdom” to the executive; this claim is so counter to our received ancient English liberties that it literally was the cause of the English Civil War.
I am going to keep tapping this sign.

remember all those 'project 2025 isn't actually real, you fools, you naifs' media pieces.
Amazing how much 2025 was a hyper correction for the fact that in 2024 voters clearly didn't know what they were voting for because the media didn't report on Trump's actual policies/voters refused to believe what they were voting for.
Between 2020 and 2024, no New Jersey county moved further right than Passaic County (11pts). At 43% it's also the most the most-Latino county in the state, and is among the least-white overall.
Last night, it moved 18pts to the left, surpassed only by Hudson County (the second-most Latino county)

man we should bring back the pamphlet
Hey historians 🗃️: Do you know of presses that publish short books (around 30K words / 90 pages plus notes)? I have been working on an article project that could easily turn into an great micro-history of that length, but I'm not sure it would make it to the usual full 60-90K words...

As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?
MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

Totally Brazen. Comically Corrupt. Painfully Dumb.
Trump’s mask-off economic doctrine is on full display: Riches for friends, pain for enemies. Is it any wonder business leaders are falling in line?

and because i can imagine the bad faith reading of this, what i am *not* saying is that everything about the extant democratic party is hunky dory other than its total absence of a communications/propaganda infrastructure. what i *am* saying is that this absence puts a hard limit on reaching voters
the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Do not normalize any headline or article that refuses to call out Trump's proposal to run again in 2028 and treats it like a political game.
Call out all these polls and hypotheticals.
This man cannot run again. Like we've said, he will try to stay in power until death.

I think it at least gives people a split-second’s pause, and Trump’s anger is one indication of that.

The Ronald Reagan speech that would really trigger the MAGA Christian Nationalists is the one where he wore a yarmulke and said the United States embraces no one religion, or religion at all, and that we must always keep a separation between church and state.
