Honestly, what's the deal with our spineless Congress? What the hell is "vulnerable politician" even supposed to mean? Tragic.

It will be interesting and revealing if Kathryn Ruemmler turns out to be the only one taking a major career hit over the Ep Files.

Polls🙄
gregsargent.bsky.social Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 1d
Some polls (like NYT) only ask about deportations in abstract without asking if people want to see *noncriminals* removed.

That creates a distorted impression of support for what Trump is doing, allowing pundits to keep pushing idea that Trumpism represents mystical longings of Real American volk:

Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data.

Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here:

We go on holiday at stupid o’clock tomorrow and had a whole loaf to get through. So I did the only sensible thing and drowned it in garlic and chive butter, stuffed with mozzarella and baked.

Do I feel ill? Yes.
Was it worth it? Also yes.

Drop Site’s @JulianAndreone asked Rep. Shontel Brown (OH-11) whether House Democrats could take steps to enforce the Gaza peace plan and halt Israel’s daily killings despite the deal. Her response: “I have called for a ceasefire.” She then told our correspondent to speak to Republicans and drove away. Brown has received more than $1.1 million in career support from pro-Israel interest groups. Democratic Majority for Israel spent over $2 million boosting her against @NinaTurner in 2021, while AIPAC’s United Democracy Project and Pro-Israel America PAC poured in hundreds of thousands more. Turner, meanwhile, has been a leading voice condemning the genocide in Gaza and pushing to condition U.S. military aid.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.

It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor.

Not one more penny.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.
