I need some real solidarity. On Friday, I published this article about why Zuckerberg should resign. It’s being throttled on Meta products and I’ve had several attempts to hijack my fb acct. Please repost this article, esp on your Meta accounts. #ZuckMustGo www.theguardian.com/technology/c...

With all of this Natalie Harp creepiness, seems like a good time for Dems to revive the effective 2024 framing of Trump and his Admin as “weird” and “weirdos”. Not a bad idea as we head into elections to “rein in the weirdos”.

Concerned about MAGA slime Hilton winning CA Gov? Hilton dropped today below Becerra and Steyer. Only the top 2 go on to the GE. As for LA Mayor, MAGA slime Pratt has 28%, Bass has 35% and (Dem) Raman has 25%. In a GE, Bass vs. Pratt would be more like 60% vs. 28%. MAGAs will be crushed in Cali!

What's not in Iran's 10 point plan is huge. Trump and his cronies declared this war was about preventing Iran from having nukes. There is NO limit on nuclear weapons in it. A huge failure for the Trump and the U.S., it's far worse than Obama's JPCOA, which limited Iran from developing nukes.

Alito’s moronic excuse for taking away the right to have your mailed-in vote counted is, “It’s called Election Day”. So what happens when counties don’t finish counting votes on Election Day? Are those uncounted votes taken away from Americans too? Or recounts where votes are discovered uncounted?

How about Dems in Congress tell Trump to claw back all those over-funded billions from ICE to pay for his war? Or Dems offer a fraction of the $200B he wants but it must include funding for the ACA subsidies and other public goods that he’s cut?

Many politicians don't think about blowback. Dems who voted to doom 25M Americans to unaffordable health insurance did one more thing. They destroyed Dem unity, which brought us huge wins last week. They've fostered division and discouragement in the party. With an election year coming. Genius.

Can House Dems prevent this terrible Senate vote from passing in The House? Are there enough extremist Repubs who won’t vote for it that Dem votes would be required? If so, can House Dems stay unified to prevent its passage? I think many Dem voters are done with Dems in Congress who betray them.

Dems should spread out over the media and say, “Trump knew he needed Dem votes to pass the stopgap funding but declared they should be ignored and refused to negotiate with them.“ Trump has only two “deal-making“ tactics, bribery or extortion. he can’t spell or conceive of “negotiating” anything.

Trump and Hegseth just told the US military leadership that there is an "enemy within" and that the military has the duty to fight and defeat it. I wonder how many of them saw that as a confession and a call to act accordingly?
