How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Someone has gone through and actually run the numbers on molestation crimes against children.
The politicians who commit these crimes are overwhelmingly Republican.
67% of politicians convicted between February 10, 2023 and May 23, 2024 nationwide were Republicans.

One reason I don't think it's useful to argue about the correct tactics for Democrats to win elections is winning elections isn't enough. They've won the presidency 5 out of 9 times since 1992 and where are we now. The question is how we create something better than a dead cat bounce party

Also, how is "leave trans people alone and let them live their lives as they have for decades" not the "moderate" position here? Whenever people call for "moderating" on trans issues, they're calling for actively oppressing trans people, actively restricting trans lives.

It really shouldn't be necessary to spell this out, but boys are not being told "BOYS ARE BAD." They're being told "RAPE AND MISOGYNY ARE BAD" and people want to pretend that those behaviors are "naturally" part of manhood, such that you can't get rid of them without getting rid of men

To recap:
—Cost to have a baby: $33K
—Cost for annual childcare: $20K
—Cost of median house: $419K
Meanwhile, Trump's "solution" to the decrease in birth rates?
Give parents $5000 to have a baby.
This isn't just performative—it's offensively stupid.
Moreover, here's what MAGAs WON'T do

This is right. The fact that they’re doing this to “innocent people” is not irrelevant, but it’s ultimately not the point. People convicted of crimes have rights too. And you can be damn sure that if they want to convict them - or me, or you - of something, they will.
I know this sounds like pedantic scolding but I really do believe that doubling down on the idea that criminal records are a meaningful distinction is like carefully digging a pit that we can be shoved into.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Keep downplaying the protests at your own peril.
