The Trump administration was too stupid to realize that cutting food safety programs and firing thousands of public servants would have shitty consequences. Watch.

Thank you Democracy Docket for keeping up on all this. But I’m actually encouraged on this one. I was afraid of what they might have done to voting machines. If they don’t want them, maybe that’s good? Or alternatively those election deniers in Georgia are not in touch with the other cheaters.

What do you call the feeling of melancholy when something that would have been a huge scandal in any other administration breaks on a near daily basis?

According to a poll a few years ago, 18% of Americans think the 1969 moon landing was actually staged somewhere in Arizona. In a new poll, Trump’s approval on the cost of living is 17%. Which means there are more moon-landing deniers than people who think Trump is doing a good job on affordability.

We fight for democracy by showing up, not just where winning is easy, but where someone has been told not to even bother. I ran in one of those places, and I lost, but the next Democrat won’t have to start from scratch. Now imagine doing that in every district. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Corporations spend more than $1.5B a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5B they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions. Kudos to these Autozone workers.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

Trump is re-labeling whole swaths of the U.S. border “defense areas” so that the military can take over. When I was at DHS, our lawyers would’ve called this “stupid” and “illegal” and “dystopian.” Because it is.

To prosecute Trump, Democrats should make Pete Buttigieg the next Speaker of the House. Nothing in the Constitution requires the Speaker to be an elected member of Congress. If Democrats take back control, they should bring a bulldog into the job.

The Supreme Court's decision to let Trump build his ballroom is worse than you think. They've opened the door to new kinds of presidential lawbreaking. Trump's own lawyers say he can bulldoze the Statue of Liberty if he wants. We have a high court of cowards.

As an American political historian, I can confirm that this Congress has been "almost unmatched in history" in several categories -- sad abdication of its war powers, craven surrender of the power of the purse, weird refusal to conduct meaningful oversight, and an utter failure to pass actual laws.
