Once right-wing oligarchs gain control of just about every national and local media company, social media platform, and big AI, as they are systematically doing with little notice from the general public, it will be game, set and match for the Republic.

#Trump has one gift and that is he has mastered the Accordion Effect. That is, he knows exactly how much fuckery he can get away with before the back end of his actions (bankruptcy, rape, whatever the fuckery may be) catch up with him. He's such a good player people don't recognize the same tune ♾️

Obviously bad
But National Guard troops aren't cops
And when you send troops to do cop things...
It never ends well for anyone

Don't underestimate the stench of death, both physical & political, emanating from #Trump. Case in point: #MTG 's new found "can't we all get along" rhetoric. Politicians are, if anything, self preservationists. #Epstein is bad & MTG is not on the list she's going to try and leverage that fact.

For 7 yrs, this is what I’ve told Trump’s supporters every single day: Trump doesn’t give a damn about you. He never has. And that’s got nothing to do with you and everything to do with him. You see, Trump is humanly capable of caring ONLY about Trump. And hopefully one day you’ll realize that.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

It shows Schumer no longer has the caucus.
It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

@schumer.senate.gov is part of the problem. He represents uber wealthy New Yorkers some of whom are certainly featured prominently in the #Epstein files. He should resign. Until #Democrats flush these corporate shills out of the system like a colonoscopy prep, nothing will change. #shutdown
