Absurd. Peaceful opposition is not insurrection.

This is a key talking points that should be echoed everyday by Democrats and ties directly to the Epstein Files, which is Trump's Achillese Cankle.

Why aren't Republicans swearing Rep Grijalva???

Jen Bendery @jbendery.bsky.social · 4h

Jeffries says Dems "have made clear privately and publicly" to Mike Johnson that Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) must be sworn in.

"Why the delay?" he asks. "Does it have anything to do with Republicans continuing effort to hide the Epstein files from the American people?"

Not a very credible response.

I don't find anything he says credible.

Reason For Hope Amid the Wreckage

If you woke up this morning with the vague sense that you were missing a goodly portion of your brain cells, it’s likely that you watched Pam Bondi’s performance yesterday before a Senate committee.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

He has never liked to pay bills.

This is beyond unseemly.

Trump’s trumped up charges just keep coming.

Decline in reading comprehension, too, I suspect.

He likes to accuse people of hating Trump, referring to himself in the 3rd person. (Bondi repeated variations of that yesterday.) Does he do that because he knows we despise him personally?

More focused wisdom from Greg Sargent.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 11h

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

Here’s Trump calling for the jailing of the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Illinois.

Totally normal. Just an ordinary day in the Trump regime.
