If they win, Democrats will have to use their newfound authority to rethink, even dismantle, agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They may need to walk back the Bush-era decision to consolidate those agencies and others under a single department, given the wild abuses perpetrated under this administration and its predecessors. It will need to give serious thought to major political and social reform, including D.C. statehood, a federal ban on partisan gerrymandering, a new voting rights act and federal protections for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, including the rights of gender and sexual minorities. Democrats will also need to embrace the legislature’s constitutional authority to structure the executive branch and the judiciary, up to and including Supreme Court reform.

If they win next year, Democrats will need to treat the next Congress not as a return to the status quo ante but as the beginning of a new era in which the principal task is to roll back the president’s effort to create and consolidate a personalist dictatorship. They’ll need to fortify the American political system against future attempts to play dictator and lay out a project of genuine democratic renewal. None of this is possible without a willingness to use power rather than just hold it. What we’ve seen this week is that there are still too many Democrats whose instinct is to retreat to normalcy rather than face the conflict at hand.

A raid with helicopters and TV cameras arrested 37. Stephen Miller said the complex was “filled with TdA terrorists” and the raid “saved God knows how many lives.” Prosecutors haven’t charged any with crimes or terrorism. That gap between spectacle and substance should alarm all of us.

At the behest of corporate lobbyists, Trump's CFPB will block states from erasing medical debt from credit reports. This comes as the GOP allows ACA subsidies to expire – which could cause millions to go uninsured and medical debt to skyrocket. A perfect storm of cruelty.

A post on X by @micah_erfan
 includes a photo of a man wearing a "Make Liberals Cry Again" shirt, standing with a woman holding a child near a body of water with a bridge in the background. The post claims that after a Michigan shooting, Trump implied the shooter was an anti-Christian leftist, and contrasts this with the shooter's background, showing the man in the photo. Adjacent to this is a screenshot of a post by @realDonaldTrump
 from September 28, 2025, at 12:08 PM, addressing a shooting at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan, mentioning FBI involvement and calling for an end to violence.
