The Democratic party would win elections repeatedly if they competently challenged corporate power.
There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors

As we’ve been shouting, trump, hegseth, republicans in congress, and conservative lawyers/judges are guilty of murder. #Venezuela
There is a devastating report in the NYT this afternoon that one the US-destroyed fishing boats washed ashore in Columbia and contained only evidence of marijuana.
Trump’s claim that he is saving the US from fentanyl smuggling by Venezuela is a disprovable lie.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.
And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.
And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.
Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

Of course if you paid attention the Dems did a good job explaining #Project2025. My one worry during the short 2024 campaign was that the name sounded dumb. It wasn’t threatening so people tuned it out. It wasn’t one thing, but hundreds. It’s all happening. Will people pay attention now?
“If only the Democratic Party messaging was better.” 😒 They literally told everyone The Heritage Foundation said they would implement “unitary executive theory” under Project 2025.

The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesn’t know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesn’t care.
We are months into the mystery of Trump’s hands, the White House is lying, & I’ve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.

Hello repro writers from the mid to late 20 teens - I just discovered Cosmopolitan at some point pulled almost every politics/repro story from the 5 years I wrote for them offline (except two, which they put under someone else's name and gave me "additional reporting" which it very much was not)
