Elizabeth Warren is a fighter. I volunteered for her during her presidential run. She is smart as a whip, and always fighting for the consumer. It will be interesting to see what happens now.

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.

I chatted with a Detroit DSA member recently, who told me the chapter was able to start doing real work only after they kicked out the tankies and anti-electoralists. They went from cliqueish book club to getting a DSA member on city council.

This has sent Trumpworld into a panic we haven’t seen since the WSJ published Trump’s birthday card to his best friend and partner in pedophilia. Any Democrat tut-tutting this needs to be ignored from this point on.

My takeaway from that speech is that we are headed down the road of Trump trying to outright rig elections. It probably won't work, but he's going for it.

1) Interesting "Dems Not in Disarray" front-page framing. 2) Point Dems need to keep making: -Virtually every Dem leader has now come out publicly against Platner. -Virtually every GOP party leader still all-in for Ken Paxton. (And, of course, for Trump) This is not a "both sides" situation.
NYT headline: Platner's Fall Might Just Help Democrats Win Swing State."

This is correct. It went from a "crazy idea" that the various Law Knowers said was obviously stupid, to a nearly-there cause that can be won if Rs get to replace Sotomayor. And in the meantime, Rs who were otherwise happy w Trump on immigration have new demands to stop "birth tourism."

The only message not voting sends to a politician is that your opinion can be safely ignored because you will never hold them accountable. That's it. You can tell yourself not voting is good for your personal brand or your moral well being, but never pretend it makes a difference in the real world.

Almost as good as the parodies: The NYT says Trump is “seemingly emboldened” rather than the more obvious “completely batshit.” They don’t quote the whole thing, just the threat to infrastructure. They paraphrase “fuckin’” And no mention of the Easter Sunday insult to the world’s Muslims.

Rescues Downed
Airman
President Trump used an expletive-laden social media post to taunt Iranian leaders, saying that the United States would attack if they did not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.President Trump, apparently emboldened by the rescue of the downed American airman, renewed his threat to attack vital Iranian infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz was not opened soon to all shipping traffic.
"Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.
There will be nothing like it!!!"
Trump warned in a social media post that was laced with expletives. Trump had set
