It is frustrating and, frankly, frightening that the defense of basic rights, the constitutional order, and democratic self-government against the authoritarian onslaught depends so much on a party that so consistently fails and/or proves unwilling to meet the moment.

I forget the actual wording but there was a great tweet about how the Democrats are like a band that just spends all of every show telling the crowd to calm down.

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

Gerry Connolly says the public gave Trump a mandate "to make sure that things are running well and efficiently — in that part, he has a mandate."

The guy who leads 49.7% of the House of Representatives thinks they are going against insurmountable odds.

Costco closing for even 12-hours because of this would break people’s brains. Just say “we made X billion last year and now we’re being told by the government how to run our business. We are sadly closed until these efforts stop.” I assume the 19 states would fracture very quickly.

DOGE personnel have completely shut down a congressionally mandated federal agency, they're pilfering through the U.S. Treasury as I type and House Democratic leadership is at an event telling the audience how much they love Israel. These are not our leaders. Look to state and local officials.

I know I'm a broken record, but, again: a key problem of the Harris campaign was way too much focus on winning over conservatives. If conservatives decide to vote D, that's nice, but they'll never be won over. The best strategy is to ignore them. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/07/u...

In interviews, many Democrats expressed little surprise, saying that the Harris campaign had devoted much of its energy to winning over moderate white voters in wealthier neighborhoods and suburbs, both in Philadelphia and around the nation. In an October memo, her campaign wrote that the “path to win Pennsylvania capitalizes on Trump’s unprecedented weakness in the suburbs.”

Can't stress this enough: Democrats need to eject the Scarboroughs and Cheneys from the movement, embrace the AOCs, Warrens and Crocketts, then decide what they stand for, dig a foxhole and defend it to the end.

This has been the Democratic party's primary strategy my whole life: lean center and lose, Republicans trash the place so badly voters have no choice, Democrats take power again, pass modest reforms while praising bipartisanship, lean center and lose again, Republicans trash the place so badly...

Morning Joe licking Trump’s boots wasn’t an isolated incident. Many people will save themselves and normalize authoritarianism. It’s time for you to make a decision about what you’ll do and what you won’t accept. And the time of choosing is now. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/profiles-i...
