the funny thing about this of course is that "athenian democracy" was a cautionary tale to the framers, who saw it as unstable and prone to demagogues and tyrants like the one rubio works for

I do think this should put some of the hand-wringing over the uniquely sinful American electorate, uniquely feckless institutions, etc in perspective. The truth is that there is a large trans-national constituency of people who actively want this. They aren’t deceived. They want this.

Can you not see how nonsensical it is to demand this extremely narrow interpretation of what constitutes “control” of an American state in order to imply that the most pro-trans cohort of major party politicians in the world is somehow the enemy of trans people

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...

The best case scenario in every situation is "Trump gives up." Like Iran. Would Iran then control the Strait of Hormuz? Likely, and that's very bad! But Trump's involvement always makes things worse. Giving up now beats giving up in a few months after publicly exhausting our missile defenses.

This is dumb even on its own terms because it's falling for the idea "MAHA" is a real thing with its own voter base. It's not. Some grifters pretend it's a distinct mass movement but it's simply not. RFK was on track for <2%. It's not a coherent bloc, it's just part of the general swirl of Trumpism.

You incredibly stupid human being

Seth Moulton: LGBTQ+ community, have broken the mold and have reached out to start having these discussions, at least in private. One of the ideas that has emerged from many transgender Americans themselves is proposing legislation that would couple basic civil rights with reasonable restrictions on transgender women in women's sports. So why don't we propose this, win some thoughtful, moderate Republicans to our side, and counter Trump's hate with legar protections? The reason is that many in our party will eat our own for failing to meet their self-proscribed ideological purity test on the issue.

This is large scale disenfranchisement and now SCOTUS has even less excuse not to reject Trump's EO on mail voting. Allowing him to move forward would have clear negative harms to voters that could not be reversed, even as his claim for authority over voting processes is legally dubious.

When the myth of "objective journalism" becomes too difficult to feign, its practitioners report the actual news less and less. Audience size and trust in media has been collapsing for as long as this has been so. Correlation isn't always causation, but sometimes it is when you'd rather it weren't!
