I'm starting to think trump believes scotus will protect him, and doesn't care about midterms. He's trying to make money and connections with powerful people for when he's out. Whatever gets him out he'll blame the GOP. He'll be the death of the party and they deserve it, like lindsey graham said.

I keep thinking that's the main thing that's going to make Democrats perform better than the polls show and win more seats at all levels than they're projected to.

Laugh at Eric Schmitt and Co. for Hawkeyes/Hawks, sure. Their screw up is funny and they deserve the mockery. But also, this was the GOP and allied media geared up to defend a coup attempt with lies and jail a prosecutor because he tried to enforce the law against a criminal. How far we've fallen.

Bill Clinton was a competent president. Reasons I'm not a fan have nothing to do with his impeachment. And yes, he was right to stay in office. Barack Obama was a good president. Joe Biden was a steady president. The democratic president elected in 2028 needs to be a transformative president.

The full quote from the audio: "And all these guys know I'm a huge fan of president Trump, but do you feel like he's a little bit of a drag?" NYT: "It is not clear from the audio whom the questioner is referring to."

Maybe voters are a lot more personally reactive than we like to think. Anytime a pundit or political analyst says what voters are gonna be doing, even by the election following the one we're in, it just discredits them.

I watched the president’s handpicked supreme court destroy the voting rights act a few months ago and I watched them greenlight third country removals 11 mins after a reply was filed this afternoon. that’s worthy of D+50 to me

What's coming in Nov is coming. They can't avoid it. The more they abuse their positions, the more they seal their fate. They deluded themselves into believing they're all powerful, but they don't have power to prevent it. Whatever else happens, judicial reform is going to be at the top of the list.

That's to start. It won't be enough. Not nearly. First and foremost, even before that, is no shadow docket. It is not a recognized judicial decision. Then individual investigations and impeachments of current justices who are known to be involved in corruption.

This is another place the gop is bleeding voters. People may not have linked losing support directly to Republicans in the past, especially when democrats are in leadership, but republicans are bragging about it now, because they're so clueless they don't even understand who's on snap.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.
