Florida governor candidate David Jolly says he differs from his fellow Democrat, Angie Nixon, but they're united on "housing, healthcare, and education," and that the real threat is not socialists in the Democratic Party but "right-wing authoritarianism within the Republican Party."

Victor Marx's Republican primary opponents told voters that he is a con man, a grifter, and a fraud. Now the GOP nominee for governor is making Colorado history with a record campaign finance violation fine. A hearing officer said Marx's campaign intentionally broke the law.

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.

this is actually worth listening to. not because it's that more insane than most other stuff. but it's a window into how he understands trade. and he understands in the sense of having no idea how anything works.

Write it on the blackboard a thousand times: they will have to demolish the ballroom, the arch and so forth. They will have to make a show of it. You will get the usual sons of bitches saying we don’t do that in this country. We do now. That is not emotion, it’s politics. To do less is dereliction.

I think the general consensus of people around the world is that Americans can get fooled by a con man once, but to return him to power a 2nd time after having seen his corruption, incompetence, ignorance, & buffoonery, the problem isn’t just Trump it’s the American people.

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

Good point from @brianbeutler.bsky.social here: Dems should act right now to "normalize" the idea that a Dem House and/or Senate is prepared to exercise extremely aggressive oversight against Trump: www.offmessage.net/p/reclaiming...

Reclaiming "Normalization"
It’s way past time we start normalizing the kinds of things that will be necessary for American renewal in the post-Trump era.

Jonathan Martin writes that Graham is as consequential as Thurmond or Hollings. What garbage. Thurmond organized a wing of the party around him nationally while playing a different game locally. Hollings wrote his name across a library of policy. Graham was in the room. There is a difference.

I was less interested in the joint warning from Cupich, McElroy, and Tobin because they could be called, in the sense of the church, liberals. Broglio, Archbishop of the Military Services, is conservative. Telling troops it is morally acceptable to disobey going to Greenland is something.

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah. It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

It's a good commentary on 2025 that the US President announces a major military attack on a foreign country and even the straightest arrows think, 50% chance it's an attack, 50% chance president is on another cognition bender.
