Between Senator Duckworth's "just get back to work" and Hakeem Jeffries' secret-not-secret side dealing with Jared Kushner, I think we're going to need better Democrats

Huang is easily the most likeable of the AI titans but none of these characters - Amodei, Musk, Altman, Zuck, Karp, and Huang - seem remotely responsible enough to even pet-sit.

Read it anyway and 1) the bar for what constitutes "ruthless" has slipped substantially, and 2) this is a stupid strategy as the replacement cabinet members don't lead to any change in regime policy. And the fact we don't even have consensus on this tepid response speaks volumes. Happy Monday.

No publicly funded monuments to this corrupt regime. No ballroom. No arch. Open the Kennedy Center. Restore the Rose Garden. Repaint Air Force One. And scrape that tacky gold shit off the walls of the Oval. Congress needs to pass legislation to make sure this never happens again.

ALL of that shit needs to come down. Raze the ballroom and the arch. Fix the Rose Garden and the Kennedy Center. Scrape that gold shit off the walls of the Oval Office. And claw back the billions this asshole has stolen during this term to pay for the restorations.

Glad you’re safe, I encountered four separate accidents along my 17 mile commute this morning and avoided a fifth. My normally 40 minute commute took an hour and a half, not sure what’s going on out there but be careful.

We can never forgive and never forget the damage Republican voters have done to America. It will take decades to repair the damage Republicans have done and longer to rebuild the trust and international relationships they've destroyed. We will never change these people. We have to outnumber them.

Unless people NAME NAMES this is just pointless doomerism. Congressional and Senate Republicans refuse to honor their constitutional duty of oversight. Trump's SC majority - possible only through court packing by Senate Republicans - have similarly refused to faithfully execute their duties.

Paraphrasing Mr. Rumsfeld, you use the political attack you have, and not the one you may wish to have later. For all but the wealthiest Americans gas prices are killing household budgets now, and Democrats would be fools to not mention this every day. We know folks won’t vote on climate issues.

LOL who's side are you on here bro? Were solar and wind power and electric vehicles viable, affordable options in Hawaii "for decades"? No. No they were not. And the point about the Iran debacle raising gas prices in Hawaii and elsewhere is 100% spot on. Not the only factor. But the immediate one.

Does Kushner represent Republicans or Republican interests? No. Regime insiders expect to lose the midterms. And at this point I'm not sure they are looking to save anyone but themselves.

Unpopular opinion: when people are being kidnapped off the streets these "hardworking Americans" messages seem hopelessly out of touch. Our nation is engulfed in a five-alarm, constitutional crisis house fire, and Democratic leadership is making kitchen table arguments. Read the room I beg you.

In fact Jeffries has used his position and power as leader to allow and accommodate the worst of Trump's abuses. Optimism aside there should have been zero reason to think that would change if Democrats hold the majority. It won't be, but this meeting should be the end of Jeffries' leadership.

You don’t need to be a farmer or rancher to know this claim is bullshit. Farmers and ranchers vote for Trump and Republicans for reasons that have nothing to do with farming or ranching.

Among the things Trump never understood is one of the things that made America great was great neighbors. We're blessed with two friendly, stable democracies, with deep cultural and trade relationships with each for decades - until now. Trump and his MAGA enablers have thrown it all away.

1) I can only guess that’s why you’re continuing this? 2) You spelled “apologist” incorrectly, and 3) You don’t know me. It’s 30+ years of working to elect Democrats that make me so disgusted with Jeffries’ quisling bullshit. Both the candidates and voters deserve better.

Mark Hoben @marconius425.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
LOL and you’re free to carry whatever water you wish to glaze Jeffries and his failed/corrupt leadership, just fucking own it. Capitulate or fight is the critical issue the Democratic Party faces, and all of us are better off knowing who wants to fight and who wants to fold.

Mark Hoben @marconius425.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
People might give Jeffries the benefit of the doubt if he’d done anything with his caucus leadership to merit trust or respect. Democrats claim they can do nothing when they’re in the minority, while Jeffries is in talks to do nothing when Democrats have the majority. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries.

Fucking cowards.
Deleted post from @capitolhunters.bsky.social: "One option: Jared Kushner knows the Dems are going to take the House and wanted to negotiate. Then leaked the story to make jeffries look bad. Be maximally cynical about any stories appearing in press that create division."

Democratic voters need to be maximally cynical about any assertion that Hakeem Jeffries or House Democratic leadership are serious about ending the Trump regime's many abuses.

Mark Hoben @marconius425.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
Another option: Jeffries secretly meeting with Kushner looks bad because it really is bad. Democrats across the country are running to hold Trump's corrupt regime to account, while House leadership secretly meets with Trump's corrupt unelected son-in-law to plan ways to undermine those efforts.

This is The Way. Democrats need to promise to raze the ballroom, and make the motherfucker pay for rebuilding the East Wing out of his stolen millions. Restore the Rose Garden. Cancel the ridiculous arch. Restore the Kennedy Center. And scrape all that tacky gold shit off the walls of the Oval.
