There's no way you can keep funding a federal government who's primary mission is to inflict pain on the population. Every federal agency from McMahon at DoE to RFK shredding HHS and everything in between. Every day we let them stay open is more time we'll need to repair the damage they've done
Maher Tarabishi, who has been detained by ICE since October, was the primary caretaker of his disabled adult child, Wael.
On Jan. 23, Wael died from complications related to Pompe disease, a rare genetic condition.
ICE has now denied Maher’s request to attend his funeral, his attorney says.

It’s quite likely that being called a “fucking bitch” is one of the last things a dying Renee Good ever heard.
I demand leaders who are as filled with pure, diamond-hard rage over this as I am.
I believe this is absolutely not asking for too much.

Imagine being someone who could be persuaded to throw their poorest constituents off Medicaid and SNAP for Trump merch.

As Shawn McCreesh and Tyler Pager report, House Republican holdouts were apparently swayed to support President Trump’s tax and spending bill by signed merch and photographs with the president.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

Everyone meet Joanne Sosa!
Joanne did the Seig Heil Nazi salute several times last night the Huntington Beach City Council chambers last night during the council meeting, and publicly identified herself.
Many in the chambers were disgusted by her actions -- the council itself didn't seem to care.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS SO FUCKING WEIRD, MAN.
An unelected South African has taken control of the US Treasury and is deciding to stop payments on American obligations, in violation of numerous court orders, and admits in the Oval Office that he has done so upon incorrect information, while the President sits impotently behind the Resolute Desk.
Reporter: You said an example of fraud that you have cited was $50 million of condoms was sent to Gaza but after a fact-check apparently it was Gaza in Mozambique meant to protect them against HIV.

If we’re going to get America out of this, might have to mass primary national Dems for people who give a shit, think fascism is Actually Bad, get the political and informational environment, and stand up for their voters’ values instead of normalizing, same washing, and kissing up to the opposite.
Can confirm. I generally think of myself as an institutionalist, but watching most Democratic leaders treat encroaching fascism like a stupid parlor game is beyond infuriating.

By a longshot, the most common mistake people who are into politics make - from seven-figure strategists to randos offering Takes online - is overestimating how much attention normal people pay to politics, how much they know, and how deeply they think about it.
*Vastly* overestimating.

Saw a "Democratic strategist" say "we have to earn people's trust back." Just mind-boggling that so many don't understand how this works.
Did voters in 2024 say "I trust the Republican Party"? No. They were mad at those in power. Democrats have to get them mad at Republicans. It's not complicated.

National Democratic organizers have the perfect catchy slogan right now:

It's the new answer to anything anyone complains about.
"Trump took it. He cut everything. Trump took it."
Catchy. Dullard-oriented. People who can't mentally process "policy" can process it.

Trump's AG nominee withdrew due to charges he was a sexual predator, while Trump's DoD nominee may survive charges that *he* was a sexual predator, as we learn multiple House Republicans texted a 1/6 witness asking for "sexual favors" and, uh, maybe Dems could draw a bright line around all this?
