They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Poor Trump. He's trying to help us peons, but there's some vague "resistance" out here thwarting his noble efforts.

It's frustrating because everything you need to understand Trump you can get from watching him for 5 minutes. It's all right there. The falsehoods are just an extremely predictable outgrowth of it. It's just that the media shies away from clearly stating *what kind of person he is*.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

The reason not to triangulate against trans people isn't that it's bad politics (although I believe it is) or unnecessary (although I believe it is). It's because YOU MUST NOT ABANDON THE VULNERABLE TO DEPRAVED PEOPLE WHO WILL DO THEM HARM. If we will, what's the point of anything else we do?

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.

Another "voter fraud" allegation collapses: Trump claimed three states had more than 250,000 noncitizens registered to vote, but months later, the Department of Homeland Security is claiming only 185 such cases exist. It hasn't provided what basis it has for accusing them to Nevada:
npr.org
DHS acknowledges the noncitizen numbers it touted on voter rolls were inflated
The Trump administration claimed to have found 250,000 noncitizens on the voter rolls in four states. But the agency's communications with states since then indicate that data was preliminary.

In a few years when the US is alone in a China-dominated world, Americans who don't follow the news will wonder how we lost our allies. The answer will be that Republican politicians didn't think strategically at all. They just wanted to get re-elected, so they slavishly obeyed a deranged criminal.
