The *vibe* of the new publication is clearly “we are here to defend liberalism against its leftwing assailants.”
Launching that sort of publication in summer 2025 is, let’s just say, *A CHOICE*.
There is an evergreen market for that sort of writing. You will never go broke writing this stuff.

Criticizing Democrats from the left does not reinforce right wing arguments. (indeed, fwiw, it makes Democrats seem more moderate!)
Criticizing Democrats from the right reinforces MAGA criticism.

🔥REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “How rich @KristiNoem says showing up with a legal firearm is grounds for execution when they support Rittenhouse & pardon protestors… we cannot go down this road, countryman against countryman… they’re trying to keep us divided so they can line their own pockets.”

Correct. Republicans have already appropriated $75 billion for ICE in Trump's ugly reconciliation bill with essentially no guardrails. They don't need any more money and Dems should be pushing to put restrictions or claw back those billions.

The video pretty clearly shows the armed thugs taking the gun out of his waistband, throwing it to the side, then emptying a clip into his body. But you keep on licking those boots, Chip.
Chip Roy: "As someone who carries a weapon in TX, if I'm in front of law enforcement or if I get stopped, I tell them that. I tell them that I've got a concealed carry permit. I show them my ID. I tell them where the weapon is bc that's what we're supposed to do. That's not what I think I saw here"

A lovely piece on Daniel Farke in the Times.
If only he’d been given decent financial backing at #NCFC 😢
Hope Leeds stay up. He deserves that.

Important. We need to rebalance the federal judiciary. The corporate sellouts and religious nationalist creeps Leonard Leo et al have been adding to the bench are deeply dangerous.
Don’t forget - “The Eighth Circuit granted the Trump administration’s request to block, for the moment, a lower court’s injunction limiting how federal agents interact with protesters in Minnesota.”
Those judges should have to answer for the tragic loss of Alex Pretti’s life.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Voters will be unhappy about the economy WITHOUT politicians or political groups discussing it.
Voters will not necessarily know that we're living in a dystopic proto-dictatorial country without the Opposition Party loudly opposing authoritarianism.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

🗣️ ITS ACCOUNTABILITY, STUPID.
It’s not just affordability … accountability must be a core part of every Democratic candidate’s message and North Star goals - if he or she is looking to win an election (and looming for my vote and money) in 2026 and 2028.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

I'd only add, if you vote to fund ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You're also complicit
ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
