When the Democratic presidential primaries start, there will be a lane for this and, if the winner decides to embrace it -- as they absolutely should -- then it will become a real issue. But barring a change in direction from congressional Democrats, not a second before then.

If Hakeem Jeffries or Chuck Schumer were out there denouncing the GOP and directly characterizing the Trump administration as "fascist," with no modification or equivocation, the media might start talking about it too. But they're not going to go there on their own.

I would too, but this elides a central problem with Democrats and the media -- unlike the Republican Party, which is *very* happy to carpet bomb the media with a message that then directs their coverage, most prominent Democrats are reluctant to do anything like that.

They tried to tear down voting rights, courts, public schools, and every guardrail that keeps power from running wild. The answer is not despair. The answer is a packed polling place in 2026, lines around the block, and a country that refuses to kneel🔥 #BlueWaveIn50Days #USDemocracy

Close friends where not invited, but a large group of unknown Russians was present. In 2009 Kremlev was nobody. 13 years later, he sits with Putin. Nothing fishy here. Everything is normal. Not.
