We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.
If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

In two weeks, we will shock the political establishment and win a city we can all afford.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.
they're doing this because the Insurrection Act sounds cool and edgy but they can't actually justify using the Insurrection Act. it's a silly action by an insecure administration desperately to seem manly and powerful. it should be criticized relentlessly, but it should also be laughed at.
Which makes me think that this is an effort to claim the insurrection act’s power without invoking the insurrection act’s authority. None of this is necessary, at all, and the governor should say so.

I'm still marveling at the depth of Newsom's self-inflicted wound(s).
Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"
Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Throwing federal workers out of work; busting their unions; disabling the NLRB & the MSPB; cratering consumer confidence -- these are the actions of an administration that wants workers to have to beg for scraps

THIS is the version of the ‘farmer who’s about to lose his farm’ testimonial that you need to see.
Here’s the thing—I don’t care if they admit they were wrong. We already know they were. But they do need to admit they were lied to—by Donald Trump. Call him out by name!

This is the difference between Trump 1 and Trump 2. First time around, all his cronies were named stuff like Joey Macaroni and wanted to commit tax fraud and go on Dancing With The Stars. This time, they have names like John Hitlerfuhrer and have spent the last 15 years blogging about phrenology.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.
