Remember this when pundits and politicians tell us it would be a "weaponization of law enforcement" to hold Trump officials accountable for their crimes. *This* is what actual weaponization looks like.

Every word of this from @drewmagary.bsky.social. Democrats will likely retake Congress, but what they do next is an open question. That's why it's important for us all to press Democrats -- right now -- to commit to an aggressive agenda of oversight and accountability.

As desperate as Republicans are to hold onto power, the Democratic establishment is even more rattled. An oil slick like Schumer sees his GOP chums on the other side of the aisle get marginalized by an interloper (Trump), and now fears a similar interloper on his side doing likewise. The Schumers of the DNC fear the likes of Zohran Mamdani and AOC (even as she's gone about sanding down her politics over the last eight years) far more than they fear Trump. So if they wrest control of Congress a month from now, their priority won’t be to reform a brazenly corrupt Supreme Court, or to punish Trump and his many accomplices for their endless crimes, or to finally cut off aid to Israel, or even to force an end to that shitty war in Iran. All they’ll do is sit on their candy asses and wait around for the next election. Then they’ll tell you the best way, the most responsible way, to express your anger at their indifference is to continue voting for them.

I haven’t had any luck in finding the new mRNA flu shot in my area unfortunately. According to Moderna, Walgreens should have it. However, the pharmacist said they are on back order. I don’t want to wait so I’ll get the regular one this year.

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that

Once you notice this, it's the most obvious double standard in the political press. Democrats have to answer for the smallest voice even if it has no actual tie to them, but Republicans never have to answer for the insanely racist billionaire donor driving their entire party.

It’s not “an oil deal with Venezuela.” It’s Trump kidnapping an autocrat, refusing to hold elections, then leaving the remainder of the regime in place but only if they allow him to pillage their natural resources, which they are doing to remain in power oppressing the people.
