The Democratic party considers itself a big tent party; one with room for lots of coalition partners. But the reality is more complicated. We always have room for conservatives such as Fetterman and Manchin. But then the party kicks and balks when it comes to progressives like AOC and Mamdani.

What a disappointment. Primary him and get a real Democrat for the seat.
John Fetterman: ICE is necessary, I do not support abolishing or defunding it, and I have changed my position - I am now against sanctuary cities.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Hmm... identities should be hidden while they're masked to keep their identities SRCRET. What kind of POLICE would that be? 🤔
BRENNAN: Tell me about the officer, Jonathan Ross
KRISTI NOEM: Don't say his name! I mean, for heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement
BRENNAN: His name is public

Drazkowski is a lunatic. Always has been.
Minnesota Sen. Steve Drazkowski: "Tim Walz is losing oil pressure rapidly. A large and growing number of Minnesotans would really like to see him in jail. We will see articles of impeachment introduced in the Minnesota House when the legislator convenes on the 17th of next month."

Native Americans and Mexico were apparently unavailable for comment.
Cruz: "When it comes to Greenland, I want to commend President Trump for being single-mindedly focused on America first... I believe it is overwhelmingly in America's national interest to acquire Greenland... the whole history of America has been a history of acquiring new lands and new territories"

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Some people are responding to criticisms of this as if people were saying “impeachment is obviously the right strategy.” No. The point is that “impeachment isn’t the right strategy because the GOP may start to be responsible” is an unfathomably stupid and insulting lie.
Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

Democratic leadership is hopeless. Our leaders are spineless cowards who are completely inadequate to the moment. Schumer, Jeffries, and that crowd have to go. It's time for the likes of @aoc.bsky.social, @ilhanmn.bsky.social, @govpritzker.illinois.gov, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to get a chance.

@schumer.senate.gov, what exactly still has to happen before it gets that far?
I understand we don't have the majority needed to impeach the man. But my God, man! What do you hope to accomplish with this weak, pathetic, statement?

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, this is the statement you should have made.
Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social : “Trump’s invasion of Venezuela is blatantly illegal and unconstitutional. He has no authority to deploy U.S. forces into foreign countries to bomb them, capture heads of state, and overthrow governments in regime-change wars.”

I've been re-listening to The History of Rome podcast by the great @mikeduncan.bsky.social . Does the website still exist? The last link I found was at Typepad and is defunct (along with the platform itself).

Republicans don't actually hate socialism. They hate socialism that helps anyone that they don't like.
finally! the government is sending a big fat check to farmers. how was trump the first person to come up with this amazing idea?

Democrats seem unable to conceptualize how to fight MAGA in today's media environment. Or even that they should. Sticking to their economic message is important but it can't be the only message. The nasty stuff that they don't want to engage with is important too. Even if it is distasteful.

Tim Walz and other democrats should claim that Trump’s growing dementia is causing him to verbally attack female reporters. Make the media debate whether it is Alzheimer’s or whether Trump is just an asshole.
The other reporters in the White House press corps are apparently waiting until the president actually takes a swing at one of their female colleagues before they say anything

What the fuck is he talking about? The FCC's Fairness Doctrine, which required broadcasters to "devote time to contrasting views on public importance issues" was repealed in 1987 when, wait for it... , Ronald Reagan was President and Republicans controlled the Congress. Seriously, fuck this guy.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said broadcast TV licenses could be revoked if stations don't serve their public interest obligations.
The FCC has never defined the term "public interest," and critics say Carr has weaponized that requirement to fulfill political agendas.

As soon as Democrats get back into power, one of our first tasks should be to tear down the Trump ballroom and restore the East Wing. Is it the most substantial thing we can do? No. But it will send a strong signal that we are taking the country back.
