In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.
She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.
So I confronted him.

Trump over and over undermines the Constitution by targeting individuals and groups he believes to be unpopular -- undocumented immigrants, government bureaucracies, LGBT people. He's strategic about picking enemies and fighting on politically favorable terrain.

It turns out rule of law was on the ballot.
I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt.

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

if Trump and his cronies are able to veto appropriations made by Congress, then we've already moved into a dictatorial system of government. Why would Democrats waste time negotiating spending deals if Trump can just rip them up after he signs them?

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

these people swore an oath to defend the constitution but i guess that’s just too hard
Schumer tells me Republicans might try to jam Democrats again in September, but thinks Trump will be less popular then and Republican appropriators might be more willing to stand up to him. He said they refused to do so now.

Right, it’s totally fine that Dems want to talk about eggs a little. But what we’re seeing instead is the collapse of America into authoritarianism, while Democrats… obsess over the most mundane issue imaginable, because in their heads it checks all the boxes that make it safe to care about
The issue is that the Dems are hanging onto egg prices like it’s the freaking holy Grail. They don’t realize that they can set the narrative like the Republicans did with inflation. They are always a step behind except for a few leaders like AOC. The Dems are embarrassing, cringe, and unprepared
