Went to repost this and then depressingly saw it was from 8 months ago. This is still true, and I am now convinced it will remain true until there are successful primary challenges nationwide to the "roll over and play dead" Dems.
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Nothing that any elected Democrat has ever said about Republican voters is ever as crass or as cruel as what Trump says about Democratic constituencies every single day, and the media just treats it as background noise.

ICYMI: We're suing Trump. Again.
Because apparently it DOES need saying that federal funding for research to help cure Alzheimer's, cancer, and childhood diseases is good, actually.

We need to banish the phrase "claimed without evidence" from journalism. Because 100% of the time it means "This public figure told this lie, but my news organization's conventions prevent me from saying it's a lie, even though it's an obvious lie."
Calling a lie a lie ought to be the convention.

MAGA Republicans and the Trump Administration are seeking to repeal a law that requires all remaining lead water pipes in the US to be replaced in the next decade, and that lowers the amount of lead that is allowed in drinking water. Because who doesn't want more lead in their drinking water?

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income

Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.
Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.
Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

This is corruption plain and simple.

To my Democratic friends in the House and Senate, I am getting lots of reports this morning that mailboxes are full, no one is answering the phone in your offices. We need to do better here all. Your constituents are trying to reach you and it is much, much too hard.
We need to be calling all of our electeds, at all levels of government and insist they fight Trump/Musk's savage attack on US govt, the reckless tariffs, his unacceptable nominees. This has become a national fight, a true all hands on deck moment...👇

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.
