As Harry says, “Impeaching Donald Trump is not an extreme act. It’s the BARE MINIMUM required to defend the Constitution, and it won’t happen if we leave it to the same people who spent a whole decade now pretending that this was all just normal politics.”

The issue usually isn’t the current comms people it’s that the elected officials and their top aides sideline and push out comms people who repeatedly suggest more direct, aggressive approaches. This is what they want. They are generally very conflict and risk averse.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Wait. So you’re telling me that Maryland counties do have some power over ICE facilities?

Someone should tell the Washington County Commissioners.

People have said this before, but it's weird that if you are in the Bluesky age demographic of 38 to 42, young people right now are talking *exactly* like the incel loser 4chan dweebs you encountered 15 years ago.

They're using words you deeply associated, long ago, with incel CSAM dweebs on chans

I don’t think it’s great that all Obama seems to be able to do is recommend an article to read or a podcast to listen to.
If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

What would you do if your aging boss ignores his customers, rejects the data, and declines to back his own employees who's under an opposition PR blitz, but listens to imaginary voices in his head before making company-wide decisions?

That's the dilemma the Democratic Party has with Chuck Schumer.

They belong in a museum!

But for real, this is dumb and indicative of the wastes of capitalism.
In 2021, former President Jimmy Carter and First Lady Rosalynn Carter posed for a photo with then-President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.

The chairs they sat in sold for nearly $11,000 at auction on Tuesday.
The chairs from that viral photo of the Bidens and Carters? They sold for $11K.
A collector just bought the chairs for her home. They became famous from a photo of former president Jimmy Carter, President Joe Biden and their wives.

Just like you can’t reform ICE, you can’t reform Democratic leadership.

You abolish and primary.

I think it should be politically disqualifying that Adrian Boafo, senior federal lobbyist for Oracle, concurrently serves in the Maryland House of Delegates (and before that the Bowie City Council). Yet, now he thinks he can represent progressive causes for Maryland’s 5th Congressional District.
Oracle vibrates with evil, and profits off of it too. It aggressively bullies its customers while providing little assistance to make its horrible products work, and finds every opportunity to increase pricing, even if it needs to sue.
