What is the point of having a Congress if they won't exercise their congressional power over regulation, budgeting, appointments, and war?
The unitary executive renders the legislature wholly irrelevant.
We have a King.
Am Unamerican unpatriotic betrayal of the founding ideals of this country.

i think, however, this is a crystal clear example that the next cold war is actually democracy vs autocracy and the battle lines run right through every single advanced democracy. there aren't really any safe harbors.

& failed miserably since MAGA controls the Fedgov & we barely held MN even here despite a MN GOP running losers & with deep ties to convicted sex traffickers. You want to brag about those results while continuing to criticize people & calling them bots? Money means nothing if you don't use it well.
I raise money for parties and candidates. That's my lane. Proud of it. Raised close to $10m in the last 2 years to beat MAGA. My community wanted to help so we raised for the DFL. Attacking me for this is f-ing bonkers. They do have a program. Click through and learn.

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

the dividing line amongst democrats is basically do you view republicans as existential threats to the country or do you view them as sparring partners.

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

I reached out to the most well-known Minnesota-based companies, multiple times, for comment on what's happening in the Twin Cities right now. None of them responded. Here's my attempt at unpacking why.
