Trump’s only principles are hypocrisy and corruption.
Bombing unmarked boats in the Caribbean one day, pardoning notorious drug traffickers the next.
It’s all the more reason for the Senate to conduct vigorous oversight of this Administration’s actions. And we will.

Many white people would rather die than vote for a Black candidate, a woman, or a Democrat in general because we're the party of diversity and inclusion. They don't want equality under the law, they want supremacy. Left-right populism offers that, backed by antidemocratic authoritarian government.
In 2022, Biden earmarked billions of dollars to help former coal communities. It was the largest investment in Appalachia since LBJ's 1960s’ war on poverty.
But Trump won West Virginia 70% to 28% in 2024. And now he's taking away the funding Biden gave them.
When are they going to learn?

Court reform & building a media infrastructure to scare voters a la Fox & X would go a long way to assuring Dems a victory in '30, the next election we're at all likely to lose. Court reform is inevitable & creating a media infrastructure is a heavy lift.
I’ll put it this way: I have significantly more optimism that we can beat this particular set of fascists than I do that Dems will do what is necessary not to hand the country right back over to the next batch four year later

Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERUPDATED EDITION: The MSNBC legal analyst explores the impact of disinformation after the 2024 presidential election—and what Americans can do before it’s too late.“A comprehensive guide to the dynamics of disinformation and a necessary call to theethical commitment to truth that all democracies require.” —Timothy Snyder, author of On TyrannyDisinformation—the deliberate spreading of lies disguised as truth, whether from opportunists on the far right, misinformed media influencers, or others—is fragmenting America more than ever before, pushing the nation toward extreme views, civil unrest, and violence. In this bestselling book, now with a new foreword by the author, Barbara McQuade identifies how disinformation is seeping into all facets of our society, causing havoc in our voting systems, schools, hospitals, workplaces, and the Capitol. McQuade, an MSNBC legal analyst and former federal prosecutor confronts the ways disinformation is being weaponized to polarize voters, degrade our legal structures, and leverage the political influence of manipulators and authoritarians. Now newly updated, Attack from Within shows us how to fight back against misinformed, extremist thinking and work toward preserving America’s hard-won democracy.
