Trump announces that two countries who have been in a major war have agreed to a ceasefire. Ukraine said they had no idea what he was talking about. Russia said they agreed to nothing. Trump has taken a blowtorch to any credibility the US has built over two centuries.

So we are warring with Iran And Russia is supplying weaponry to Iran. And we are paying Russia to send us diesel fuel. Because we are warring with Iran the ships with the diesel can't get to us. So we are buying it from Russia, which... Yeah, this is some three-dimensional chess right here.

So, just to review. In roughly seven months the US has had to abandon all bases in the Middle East, flee from a British base, the petrodollar system that is the foundation for hegemony has collapsed, and we’re facing historical energy and food crises. Great work. www.cnn.com/2026/10/04/p...

I cannot stress enough how fucking illegal this is. “Donald Trump is a criminal who keeps committing crimes, and now he wants to bribe voters to keep Republicans in office so he can—you guessed it—commit more crimes.” If you can’t message around that, no one can help you.

It is not, in fact, mind boggling. If you have been paying attention to the USA since the beginning of Trump II, it was, in fact, entirely predictable.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

My understanding is that hispanic refers more broadly to people from countries that utilize the Spanish language, while Latino refers more specifically to those whose lineage goes back to Latin American countries. So is this special skill based on learning the Spanish language?

I think that using the language of the gospels, where Jesus is clearly preaches the value of love thy neighbor, to audiences that see themselves as driven by the values of their church (which nowadays bear little resemblance to the teachings of the Gospels) is incredibly good politics.

I think a lot about Biden/Garland keeping David Weiss on as US Attorney, because they didn't want to meddle with the Hunter probe. And then Garland elevating Weiss to special counsel so he could convict Hunter. And this having ZERO IMPACT on the GOP certainty that Biden was rigging the DOJ

Fair point. But step one to anything is to eliminate the filibuster. Once the Senate is a majoritarian institution again (and as designed), a world of possibilities for Congress to reassert its power as an equal branch opens up.

I would add that, going on twenty years later, Insurance companies have found workarounds now to the protections against rating against pre-existing conditions that are skyrocketing costs again. We may be closer politically today to Medicare for all than at any other point.

Yes. Senate kept moving the goalposts, and ACA got everything the Senate was willing to give. There was an assumption at that time that ACA was flawed but would continue to be a work in progress. Ends up it might have been the last time the Congress passed major legislation as a stand alone bill.

Don’t even get me started with all of the lefties who trashed the ACA, which did more to expand health care access than anything since Medicaid and Medicare.

The issue with political consulting for hire is that while lucrative, it’s also seasonal. Long stretches with activity to produce revenue. So most consultants have a private business consulting side that provides steady revenue. It creates conflicts of interest that cripple good political messaging
