Am I crazy or could Democrats win a ton of low-info voters by loudly promising to ban and prosecute spam phone calls?

Trump and Stephen Miller’s ICE is out of control. Alex Pretti, a brave American and nurse, was protecting his community when ICE agents shot and killed him. Stephen Miller then tried to smear his name and lie about his death. What else is he lying about?

While ICE officers are mostly immune from civil liability for civil rights violations, municipalities are not. My guess is that a lot of these municipalities would think twice about coming up with b.s. pretexts for traffic stops if faced with a flood of wrongful arrest lawsuits.

Isn't there a happy medium between "never use AI" and "never have a human look at AI output"?

GOP: "It was wrong for Bill Clinton to meet with the AG (who he personally knew) because his wife was under investigation." Also GOP: "It is not wrong for Trump to hire his personal criminal defense attorney as AG and for his chief of staff to direct the DOJ to make partisan prosecutions."

I wish people would stop calling the GOP the "law and order party." Or the "family values party." It is done to point out hypocrisy. But hypocrisy is generally a weak attack and not worth counter-productively reinforcing the GOP brand. Call the GOP the corruption party and forget hypocrisy.

I do not think that Jack Smith is a hero. He kind of sucked at his job. But if he wanted to impress me, he would sue Schmitt and possibly others for defamation*. Even if he lost, he'd be punishing the GOP and would likely elicit embarrassing facts in discovery. *For non-hearing statements.

Initial thoughts on the Cornell case: 1. Both the initial decision not to charge and the recent appointment of a special prosecutor may have been correct given the information that was known at each period in time. 2. Individually, the "Cornell 7" may have very different criminal liabilities.

32 years ago, the GOP retook the House for the first time in decades merely by highlighting the Pentagon overpaying for hammers and toilet seats. While there appears to be a Blue Wave in the works this year, it shouldn't be close.

More Democrats need to read The Culture Code by Clotaire Rapaile. Republicans have studied it for years. Simply put, people's views on any given issue can radically change depending on what words you use to talk about the issue.

A big obstacle to Harris in 2028 is the narrative that her biggest defenders went with after she lost. Instead of chucking Biden under the bus, they insisted that the voters were simply to racist and misogynistic to elect her. The problem is that those will be basically the same voters in 2028.

Airmen and Guardians have until Oct. 16 to pick from 31 Pentagon approved beliefs. Atheist is not one of them. Anyone who does not pick "will have their records automatically realigned," the Air Force says. The government will choose their religious affiliation for them.

What a strange thing to say. Trump's belief that he is immune from any kind of legal limit is actually a rational one, because that's exactly how everyone in Washington behaves, including SCOTUS and Democratic members of Congress. If they want him to believe something else, they need to show him.

Duckworth said that her advice to her colleagues would be "don't be impeaching anybody" and to focus on trying to cut a deal with Trump on USAID funding and tariffs. Aside from being morally repugnant and electorally demoralizing, dealing with Trump is dumb because he will break any deal Dems make.

Democrats like Duckworth who want to preemptively take impeachment off the table, have an obligation to explain a theory for reining in illegal behavior by a President that goes beyond “posting criticism on social media”.

The general explanation, which Stancil repeatedly ignores, is that: 1. People use the term "inflation" as a proxy for general economic discontent. Stancil is semantically correct that people are wrong to complain about "inflation." But he's missing the bigger picture that...

I don't care if Boebert is personally nice to Raskin. Raskin represents the Democratic Party. And Boebert has been incredibly nasty and insulting to Raskin's constituents and the Democratic Party as a whole.

If having a stroke made Fetterman so much worse, why can’t Trump have a stroke and change his personality to a non-sociopath?

I like how Democrats just discovered that you can make campaign promises to get votes. Don’t get me wrong. Trump’s pledge is a borderline bribe. But it is actually okay to tell voters “If you want X then vote for me.”

Overwhelmingly, the people who are massively uninspired by a Jeffries Speakership are not "Socialists." They are grassroots Democrats who, at most, would describe themselves as progressive.

DSA is just the Democrats’ version of the Tea Party: it is a vehicle for Democratic voters who are disgusted with party leaders to remain in the party. I wish I could say that I was surprised that establishment Dems don’t get that this helps them.

The problem with the idea of a "Joe Rogan of the left" is that they don't actually want a Joe Rogan of the left. They want a Joe Rogan of the centrist establishment. And that's doomed to fail, because literally everybody is sick to death of the centrist establishment.

I would not put anything past Musk. However, there is a good chance that the “rigging” was simply massive spending by Musk on targeted messaging in swing states. It would be illegal, if coordinated with Trump’s campaign. But Musk knew that Democrats were not going to complain or investigate.

Hot take: It would be a lot easier to prosecute law enforcement if we created a new category of homicide that was not called “murder”. Rather something like “Reckless or Intentionally Use of Unjustified Force by a Law Enforcement Officer Resulting in Death” punishable by the same prison sentence.

I’m old enough to remember that Graham was a piece of shit long before Trump ever came along. He is just a chameleon. Not an ideologue. Did he, at one point in his life, find it useful to to kiss Biden’s ass? Maybe. Who cares? It was all an act.
