“…people want something higher, something better. We all do. Democrats: Don’t hold back. Speak to this still-flickering sense of hopefulness forthrightly and unflinchingly.” Yes, @gregsargent.bsky.social! Shout it from the rooftops. The people crave genuine, moral leadership.

Trump has said the Iran war is almost over at least 60 times. It's been 212 days. 19 service members are dead, 800+ wounded, $43 billion gone. We counted every broken promise with @votevets.org.

I tend to be reluctant to join the mainstream media pile-on from all directions, in some ways they have an impossible job, but why isn't this widespread and regular news, just as it was when Biden was president? And he never snoozed through his own press events as Trump regularly does.

Imagine needing validation so badly that you threaten to tear down another President’s memorial unless they put your name on it. The level of fragile ego it takes to pull a stunt like this is genuinely unhinged.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Jim Stewartson: This is actual psychosis.

He learned several months ago that dumb has a B when he told someone his brilliant idea for “dumocrats.” This left him a severe narcissistic injury. So he has constructed, through sheer repetition, an alternate reality where “most people don’t know.”

Trump tried to bully Iran into submission and was humiliated. So he did what every bully does — salvage his ego by picking on the kid he thought was least likely to fight back. Meanwhile, the world is learning that the best way to handle a bully is to punch him in the mouth.

In what context is "Abolish Ice" a radical position? In a context where everyone sees this, and feels confident that this sort of behavior will be punished. In a context where basic accountability systems are in place. An organization that encourages this behavior is impossible to fix.

It sometimes feels like we're living in a ridiculously exaggerated folk tale with wildly implausible villains. For example, as the president takes billions for himself and his family and *coats his things in gold,* the soldiers fighting his war can't get toothpaste, hot water, or a clean toilet.
