Yessssssssss

I totally agree. This campaign has proven how easy, fun and important it is to be a thoughtfully-engaged New Yorker.

The political calculus on Dems holding firm in the shutdown is good.

WH’s only response is to keep doubling down on how heinous they can be either way. Nothing is guaranteed now. Everyone can see this admin’s glee in all the damage.

Dems are making Republicans in Congress choose a side.

Miller seethes when people make fun of him online, so I do think ridiculing him is impactful.

Better, though, would be to start calling him President Miller and telling folks he’s really in charge - that’ll drive Trump nuts.

Make every Republican own this bullshit. Is the President's comment true? Why is he saying it? Is he mentally unwell? Is he repeating misinformation federal to him by Laura Loomer or Stephen Miller? WTF is going on?

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

Here is a person who has more than enough experience to hold just about any position of government in her pinky finger alone.

And she wants that. For all the right reasons too.

I can’t wait for what THE LETITIA JAMES is gonna unleash on these fools.

It’s no wonder they are so afraid of her.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 2d

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

I was a narrative communicator but the world wanted me to be a chart communicator and now it’s such a breath of fresh air when someone else needs me to talk through something fully and completely.

Keep talking about the Republican Shutdown. It’s working.

Keep talking about the Epstein Files. It’s working.

Keep talking about President Stephen Miller. It’s working.

Keep talking about Trump’s Terrorism. It’s working.

We can say what we want about Dems but they seem to be the only party that understands there’s a lane to leadership and are reinforcing tons of political capital here.

Pritzker is meeting the moment and if he stands up for the people, stands up against Trump's rein of terror, holds ICE accountable, he can elevate himself as a front runner for Dem leadership.

Now is the moment for leaders, not cowards.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

What’s it gonna take for republican leaders to realize they are next on the chopping block?

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 3d

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

Trump: "We call them the water drugs. The drugs that come in through water. They're not coming. There are no boats anymore. Frankly, there are no fishing boats. There are no boats out there period, if you want to know the truth. Does anybody go fishing anymore?"

This is an absolute winning message in a winning way, and it’s hard to not think for a minute that it feels very much like a @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social campaign moment.

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 4d

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

Dunking on this admin is such a polling homerun. It kinda seems like there are no republicans who even wanna be president in the future.

Not like it would matter.

It would be a very gop thing to do to take this terrorism talking point and flip it right back at Miller. It’s not hard at all to see who the actual terrorist is here. Who is bank rolling him?

Brandon Friedman @brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 7d

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

Frankie Dailey @frankiedailey.com · 7d

We really do need about 4-5 more comms plans mirroring Gavin Newsom from key Dems. It’s effective but it’s not enough. For a morale basis alone, I think it’d go a very long way and public reception to resistance has a net gain across the board.

Angry @angrystaffer.bsky.social · 8d

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

Frankie Dailey @frankiedailey.com · 8d

Wish Dems would turn the Epstein files conversation up to a ten. Get them on a second issue while on the defensive.
