Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

This. What you’re seeing now is panic and weakness and chaos.
Trump is surfing the buzz of bombing and invading and threatening, but things are not going his way; he wants ICE to freak people out. (It is. But not the way he hopes.)

His escalations are due to his weakness and declining support. And they will only accelerate his decline.
Does anybody think his Minnesota Shitshow is going to swing things back his way and boost his approval ratings?

Majority now against ICE, too, first time ever in polling
Have to agree. He is flailing even as he publicly claims that the majority of people support him.

The seeds of fascism and authoritarianism have always been present in America, and they are sprouting. But we also still have rights that people in 1930s Germany (or contemporary Russia or China) would have died for.
It’s time to use them.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished.
I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy.

Quite simply, any mail-in voter must now place their ballot in the mail at least ONE WEEK sooner than they might have in previous years...or be encouraged to return them in person, if possible.
We need to message around this consistently from this point forward.

Mail-in voting faces new hurdle as postal service formalizes postmark practice
Guidelines announced on Dec. 24 allow postmarks to reflect processing date rather than mailing date, affecting 14 states with grace periods for late-arriving ballots, including Massachusetts.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Fair warning:
If you don’t want to see a LOT of get out the vote content this year, I’m probably not a good person to follow.
My goal for 2026 is to help hand the GOP the largest midterm loss in history.
We’re going to make 2018 look like a small trickle.
