“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

Legal folks, how is this "defying Democrats" and not "illegally misappropriating funds"?

I never ever thought I would see such a dangerous unhinged psychopath running the US military. We’ve had some bad ones, but never like this.

Pretty clear Hegseth’s primary mission is to transform the military ideologically by overtly indoctrinating troops with Christian nationalism and apocalyptic holy war messaging while rooting out those who don’t want to participate and just want to serve their country admirably.

THE SOUTH CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS You don’t get to profit off Black athletes on Saturday, then spend the rest of the week gerrymandering Black political power out of existence. We know what’s up! Hakeem Jeffries makes the connection perfectly.

Lawyers representing Rep. Joyce Beatty, a Kennedy Center trustee, argued that images show President Trump is “actively considering demolition of the entire structure.” They asked the court to make “crystal clear that its order prohibits demolishing” it. wapo.st/4dIbx2x

Judge says Trump’s board may not demolish Kennedy Center without warning
Rep. Joyce Beatty asked a federal judge to clarify that the center cannot be torn down after images surfaced of the president reviewing what appeared to be a printout related to the institution.

Part of the problem is that if you were to have the proper reaction to even 10% of this it would leave you unable to function normally. If nothing else you end up repressing stuff just because fully experiencing it is impossible to do all at once.

As a society none of Trump’s insanity is impossible to parse or react to. The problem is that our feckless elites are scared of humiliating themselves by expressing an appropriate amount of alarm, which dumps the burden on to the rest of us, where it becomes unmanageable
