Johnson should see the writing on the wall and bring the original CR deal up for a vote - his tenure as speaker is already over after today, regardless of how this gets resolved

All the while (most) congressional Dems keep chugging along with the same old/elderly playbook.
Trump’s first term was a study in the capitulation of the Republican Party and conservative movement. Apparently Trump’s second term will be a study in the capitulation of…everyone else.

I’m sorry but 262 words is not a manifesto. It’s a statement. Maybe a communique. Not a manifesto.

Remember, Tulsi Gabbard claimed Assad didn’t use chemical weapons, it was “the rebels.”

This guy has some serious Blagojevich energy. Remember when people were acting like he was the future of the party? 😂
With his political future in doubt, Eric Adams, the Democratic mayor of New York City, has opened the door to returning to the Republican Party. Adams has shocked some Democrats lately by embracing President-elect Trump and some of his policies.
Eric Adams Doesn’t Rule Out Becoming a Republican Again
The Democratic mayor of New York City has embraced President-elect Donald J. Trump lately. He was a registered Republican in the 1990s.

South Korea rn is what it looks like when people see democracy as a fragile thing that needs to be defended by all means necessary, and not as their inevitable birthright as citizens of an exceptional nation

Kudos to South Korea's right-leaning ruling party, which turned against its own embattled President and rejected his bid to declare martial law.
There's a lesson in there somewhere.

It's hard not to watch Koreans mobilizing in the early hours to defend their democracy and not feel angry all over again at polls showing how Americans don't value their own democracy.

I came onto Bluesky an hour ago, and the first two things I saw were posts providing useful context for understanding the imposition of martial law in South Korea—the exact kind of thing that Twitter used to be so useful for in a developing crisis.

Out of everything going on right now, the President (perhaps inappropriately) pardoning his son after he was obviously prosecuted for political reasons is pretty low on my list of priorities

It's up to Democratic officials whether they want to stop exclusively rewarding legacy media with their time and start validating the people who are actually advocating for their agenda. But until they make that decision, the asymmetry that cost Democrats this election will persist.

Dems beat Trump by a lot more in 2020 than he beat us in 2024, and the GOP didn't hand-wring about the need to find common ground with us. They treated us like enemies of the entire country and a critical mass of voters were convinced. "We need to compromise and accommodate" is not the lesson here.

One reason it isn’t discussed more is bc lots of money and influence relies on pressuring electeds into taking corporate money and rejecting/reversing these no-lobbyist $ pledges.
I know members who went back on their promise and later lost seats to GOP. Voters want ppl who stand up to corruption

Sanders’s time as a presidential candidate has passed, but his ideas are still valuable for a party that needs to persuade voters to return home from MAGA.

This is why Democrats really shouldn't have given up on Walz's "weird" messaging. Because this shit is WEIRD.
Good morning, Nancy Mace, a horrible woman, has already tweeted about Trans women four times this morning.
She has amassed a collection of over 350 cruel and bigoted tweets and retweets in just a week.
