It is reckless, but also shows no signs of any strategic vision, any planning whatsoever; only what's stuck in Trump's grill in any particular moment (or Hegseth's, Miller's, or Rubio's preferences).
It's not "America First". It's "Anywhere To Change the Headlines"...
Bernie's got the answer:
Trump and Johnson thought the Senate Democrats would cave, but because We the People got loud after the CR debacle in March, they've held the line - and republicans don't know what to do with people power.
Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.

End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.
I am happy to hear that we are. Thanks; but also for introducing the idea to us.
"...incredible to me that Trump is not out campaigning anywhere...a sign of how weak and unpopular he has become...we are in the closing days of the election and he remains cloistered, weary of & distant from the people, as he has become in his decline, his madness, his corrupt authoritarianism."
Trump's extraordinary political decline has come despite his clear information superiority and the declining influence of independent, legacy media. It makes it all that much more remarkable, durable and problematic for them.
Trump's job approval in polls since Friday:
- 37%-63% (-26) CNN
- 41%-59% (-18) CBS
- 41%-56% (-15) Strength In Numbers
- 43%-57% (-14) ABC/Washington Post
- 43%-56% (-13) NewsNation
- 43%-55% (-12) NBC News

There's a reason he isn't campaigning.

"...It reminds me of the great (Muhammad) Ali-(Joe) Frazier fight — because Toronto kept coming. … So let me just say this: Don’t forget to give Toronto some love. That team probably would have beat any other team, right? And they gave the world a Series that nobody’s going to forget forever.” - MJ.
From @theathletic.com: How can you tell when you’ve just been part of the greatest World Series game of your lifetime?

Game 7 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays kept us riveted from start to finish. Nobody is going to forget this one. nyti.ms/3JI4ZVV
Might help with housing costs.....
You laugh, but this is how the exododus went extinct
This is such a very good idea. Why aren't we doing this here in California?
This seems like a good idea; what happens if when Trump tries to deploy CA's NG into another state (OR, IL, NY), they're already helping with CA critical missions? SNAP, food banks, re-forestation?
The Criminals are now running the prison system.
Or, as Billie Eilish so beautifully asked,

"If you're a billionaire....¿WHY Are you a billionaire?...
"No hate, but...Give your money away......"
This is when you have to wonder, “How fucked up are your police?”
He pardoned Zhao, without “knowing anything about him”.
And yet Zhao had just profited his sons some $2Billion.

This is not TRANSPARENCY!

It’s WILLFUL IGNORANCE!
He should’ve known.

It can’t be legal to sell a pardon for $2B contribution.
Maybe in Russia. Not in my USA
I think Momdani is creating the future of a truly democratic party.
Hakeem Jeffries is doing so little to democratize the democratic party; he’s defending the ‘do as little as possible’ flank of it.
How did Jeffries get not only off the page, but not even in the same book as the majority of coalition democrats? We are trying to build a nationwide united front against this (and any other) GOP.
What’s he trying to do? Build a permanent minority party?
Corruption, Inc. This will be seen as the most corrupt, least ethical administration of all time.
We Have Economic Power!
Reports of ICE ads on #Spotify were noted in early October. People began calling for boycotts immediately.

Now, nearly a month later Spotify is seeing major losses.

And we can do ever BETTER. 👏👏👏

WHAT are State Police doing arresting non-violent protesters?
Here's a good idea; especially for the southwest of the U.S. Double duty solar shield: creating affordable electrical energy, and providing cool (or cooler, anyway) spaces for parking your car.
I'd put this in as a strategic goal for the Soft Secession of Blue States.
Meanwhile, in South Korea: "Starting at the end of November, public parking lots with more than 80 spaces will be required to install solar power generation facilities. This obligation applies not only to newly constructed parking lots but also to existing ones."

Mandatory Installation of Solar Panels in Public Parking Lots to Apply Retroactively to Existing Facilities

"Don't get lost in the facts," is exactly the mush headed thinking that this Republican Party has made the foundation of its entire platform; starting, like rotting fish, at the very spongy head.
