We went to Owamni, and I wouldn’t trade that for the world.

Well we just need to see if the new hires are sworn in.

They’ll have to relinquish the house, maybe even the senate ( if stats from this week hold true ) next year.
So it’ll all come to a head far sooner. ( I hope, but not in a violent way )

Nope, ‘26 first. You’ll know far more, a lot sooner, with the midterms. Assuming they’re held & even if gerrymandered, if stats hold, that won’t save them. Plus they’re assuming Trumps newfound Latino support for the new maps. They aren’t there.
They’re cooked if they don’t govern like adults.

A lot of house republicans apparently signed the thing, and a lot more now want them released so they can “get out in front of it”.
I think they means the era of Trump “must be obeyed” is severely weakening and near its end. They’ll ditch him easily if it’s him or them.

Just never give them creator owned work, otherwise take them for as much as you can get. They’re owned by a billionaire with his nepo baby son at the helm after all.

I see him speak recently. I do like him, he just seemed… scripted & not exactly charismatic.
But yeah we’re not going to get AOC. Not any time soon. She needs to primary Schumer first dammit! Get her in the Senate!

You’re never going to get a perfect candidate. All of them will have something shitty they’ve done. Kamala was completely the same that way.
But we’re gonna need someone who can win the middle as well.
Because the alternative would be far, far worse.
As people who care about Gaza found out.

He’s doing a bit, vocally.
He hasn’t won a huge political mandate this week though.
& he’s not taking the US’s spot at a major global summit either.
If he can figure out real ways to push back, I’m all ears on him too.
