Worthwhile listening: @driftglass.bsky.social and @bluegal.bsky.social trace the long, embarrassing history of elite pundits who spent decades inventing a fictional Democratic party, got everything wrong about the Republican one, and are now loudly demanding that Democrats take their advice anyway.

🧵 Folks, I’m tired… and I know a whole lot of us are tired. Our party isn’t perfect. Our leaders aren’t perfect. But there are people right now putting everything they have into standing up in this moment. Constructive criticism matters. Accountability matters.

I want to do a 🧵 about the Sidney Sweeney thing, because it's *extremely* revealing & educational. First, to be clear: I could not give less of a shit about the details -- the ad, the rhetoric, the jeans, her boobs, whatever. Good lord, who cares. Let's look at the *structure* of the episode.

This is a human rights violation. Multiple detainees described a disturbing incident where dozens of men were forced to eat food they had been denied all day while shackled. “We had to bend over and eat off the chairs with our mouths, like dogs,” — from a new Human Rights Watch report.

2 points here: 1) There's no statute of limitations in New York for Ghislaine Maxwell's crimes (maybe also options in New Mexico and Florida). A pardon can't stop state prosecutions. 2) We just got another reason to release the Epstein files: so the public can test Maxwell's truthfulness.

Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man. Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Al Gore pitched a sovereign wealth fund once, but he called it a “lockbox.” And it existed bc they’d taxed the wealthy a tiny bit, balanced the budget and had a surplus. And he only wanted the fund to protect Social Security for Americans who weren’t millionaires. So the GOP mocked it.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
