Trump thinks voters inhabit a space where they remember the Cold War enough to hate “communism” and “socialism,” but don’t still hate Russia and China. So weird.

It matters that she's a member of Congress. This is an extreme escalation. He is attacking a member of the one body with the constitutional power to hold him accountable and check his crimes. And he's doing so trying to gin up a fake basis to strip her of her eligibility to be in Congress.

If they get both Houses, Dems can shape what comes next even without the presidency. Nuke the filibuster and pass a progressive slate of legislation. Make Republicans vote against limiting data centers and taxing billionaires, force Trump to veto abortion legislation, etc. Set the agenda for 2028.

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:
thehandbasket.co
Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem
A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

And the constitutional settlement of it is absolutely part of the inherited structure of the U.S. constitution, which whatever else it was, was *not* an attempt to turn back the constitutional clock to the Stuart side in the English Civil War. It's one unified federal purse. 5/

Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars.
Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

3. So the words we use to talk about them should be just as small, to wit: Kennedy is a pervert; Miller is a putz; Bessent is a snob; Hegseth is a douchebag; and Trump is a criminal.

Again, Joe Biden picking Merrick Garland, Republicans' preferred Supreme Court pick who couldn't even get a confirmation hearing, over Doug Jones, who sent members of the Klan to jail and beat a pedophile at the ballot box in Alabama, as Attorney General was a Compromise of 1877-level mistake.

My theory on Milli Vanilli’s inclusion in the USA’s 250th celebrations is that Trump’s non-functioning, stuck in the 80s brain spit out “Milli Vanilli” in a planning meeting when he meant to say “Vanilla Ice.” His staff of course wouldn’t correct him, so here we are.

Reporting on Trump’s corrupt $1.8B slush fund seems like a good time to run a loop of footage from Jan 6, which a lot of people want to memory hole. Not just the violence, but also things like Hawley fleeing through the halls.

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

Again - the Roberts #SCOTUS is the Hormuz problem for Democrats or anyone concerned about democracy in U.S. It doesn’t matter what agenda Dems have, they’d be negligent if they don’t plan to act on an all out push to reform, rebalance (expand) to rein in the MAGA Court when they get back in power.

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

He’s setting up his excuse. He’ll blame the parts of the “American people” who wanted to end the war as the reason this failed, rather than own the fault. If he just had a little more support for a little more war criming, it all would be fine…
