Pug not only sits on the couch but on what ever pillows are on the couch. My MiL has a couch pillow fetish so the dog is thrilled when we're at the cottage

I will never forgive or forget a single Republican Senator who voted yes on RFK Jr.’s confirmation as HHS Secretary. But as you know I hold especial contempt for Bill Cassidy (R, Invertebrate) for greasing the skids for RFK Jr. and for the destruction of U.S. public health.

This isn’t fair but the difference is Biden is the kind of senile where he asks where his glasses are and u say on his head and he looks sheepish & apologizes and says oh yea, Trump is the kind of senile where that happens & he yells at your he’s never worn glasses. In fact glasses don’t exist. &…

In times like these, it’s vital to know who will stand up for democracy and justice and who will cower and capitulate. Students, faculty, alumni and staff are on the right side of history. The Yale president and trustees are collaborators and their names will live in infamy.

These people cannot be trusted to vote in their best interests. Ever. They have failed at the most simple task and have driven this country to ruin. They are too stupid to be allowed to have a say in the future of the country. Convince a non-voter to vote. There are LOTS of those.

If the lessons Democrats (& democrats) draw from DOGE is “right idea, wrong implementation,” we are doomed. Everyone involved in the unprecedented crime that was DOGE needs to go to jail forever, & Democrats need to rebuild all of the programs & agencies first, not do digital management consulting 🤦‍♂️

Doing “imperial presidency but from the left” means that in 2032 or 2036 we will be dropped back into worse fascism, and face another two-decade long rebuild before we have finished the first one—from DOGE and Trump II. Let’s do the big change and prosecutions we need to avoid that. /end

We will not want to break the law and we won’t have SCOTUS on our side to let us break the law anyway. That means any serious reforms are doing to take substantial partnership with Congress to pass new legislation, as after Watergate. Let’s just be real about what the future will look like.

Mostly, what the article describes is a good idea - and if it can be done legally already, do it as part of rebuilding. It will only be bad if we skip the “investigate and prosecute DOGE” part. This part is worrying. Musk’s biggest “aircover” was that he broke the law!!

That said, check this out: what Mamdani’s team is doing is good. Build strong public facing services (that is, rebuild govt) while at the same time increasing govt capacity and making sure in-house teams have the talent to run the show.

projects they'll focus on, but the work will be "core to the Mamdani administration's agenda around
attordability, housing, consumer and worker protection and more," said Maya Israni, senior adviser to the city's chief technology officer.
More than 4,000 people have submitted applications to join the New York City PIT crews, hich will consist of five teams focusing on building services in-house instead of using contractors.
"We really want to have a direct impact on someone's day-to-day life as a New Yorker and make their life on a day-to-day basis better and more affordable," Israni said. "We're here to deliver on core Mamdani administration priorities."

Because the reforms that are needed are things like expanding the civil service, cutting use of contracting, more mission alignment, making hiring faster, and consolidating legal requirements. The right both wants to make govt fail and is ideologically opposed to a lot of that

Hi government employee here, who has visibility into how things worked before 2025 and since: This is correct. Rebuild government, prosecute DOGE and Trump officials, and think about contracting reform later.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a high school basketball game. The home team is down 9 points, and some players are looking discouraged on the bench. The coach points to a player just out of frame and says, “flippers, you’re in!” Panel 2: the away team attempts a deep 2-point shot, possibly to beat the buzzer, which is blocked by Flippers, a whale who doesn’t even have his arms up. Panel 3: the game ends and the home team excitedly crowd around Flippers, who won them the game. A player from the away team looks stunned, with his hands on his head.
