Acting like No Kings is some kind of detriment to the Democratic Party is such a bizarre take.

This thread shows exactly why Dems can’t produce a Stephen Miller, which is that Dems think the motive force behind a Dem Stephen Miller needs to be a policy vision, when in fact the only pursuit on the D side that should produce that kind of single-minded obsession is CRUSHING STEPHEN MILLER
I will note something I keep hearing from different lawyers, immigration activists, Dem operatives et al:
There is no Democratic Stephen miller . And that’s a problem

What drives me insane is that these are the exact same tactics used against abortion providers and activists, mostly coming from the same people, but because we’ve flipped the word from “abortion” to “trans” suddenly the elite pseudoliberals just want to write about how it’s understandable backlash
grateful to once again be having a conversation about the bullying tactics of trans activists

That’s right. They want Mexican Americans to be ashamed of being Mexican. They’re leaning on the implicit racist belief of white people - including too many liberals - that Mexican heritage makes someone presumptively dangerous or criminal. It’s nativism and we shouldn’t give them one single inch.
They’re attacking latinos, flying the Mexican flag is about not bowing down to racists and the fascist administration it’s not about being proud to be “American” it’s about being proud of the things they are trying to demonize about you.

As Budget Chair I got constant Republican lectures to ignore looming climate disaster because of the debt.
“The debt, the debt, the DEBT!!”
Now they’re in charge and they’re hiking debt limit $4 trillion for tax breaks, mostly to the richest. What a sham.

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

The Suspension Clause:
1) Doesn't allow the President to unilaterally suspend habeas, especially when Congress is in session;
2) Applies only to cases of invasion or rebellion (this is quite clearly neither); and
3) *Even then,* applies only "when the public safety may require it." (It doesn't.)

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

if Congress does not seize its powers back Trump *will* fly the American economy straight into the side of a mountain.
Again: he is not going to back down from tariffs because the imports collapse is an explicitly good thing to him. It’s the whole goal of the policy.
He sees the number of containers going to zero and thinks *that is a success* because it means we’re not buying things from those foreigners anymore.

Trump: "We were losing a trillion dollars a year. Now we're not losing anything, you know? That's the way I look at it. We were losing with China on trade a trillion dollars a year."

If Trump is serious about tariffs on movies, it's a very dangerous escalation. Tariffs have not traditionally been applied to services, and the United States is a massive net exporter of services. We would be extremely vulnerable to any service-based retaliation.
Trump says movies produced outside the U.S. are a national security threat. So he’s imposing a 100% tariff on all movies that are “produced in foreign lands.”

reporting on this has really got to get better about communicating the magnitude of the breach here. if you read the nyt article with minimal context, you would have no sense that this was watergate-level impeachable misconduct
President Trump has personally ordered the Justice Department to open an investigation of Democrats' primary ways for raising donations.
It is the third time he has personally ordered an open-ended criminal investigation, each against a perceived political foe.
