It sucks a lot of oxygen out of it, and without a leader that has the same kind of hold on the masses like he has (and it's EXTREMELY rare) they won't be half the force they were.

Elissa Slotkin isn't getting primaried anytime soon—she's not up for re-election until 2030.
So this kind of statement from her is an unmitigatedly good thing.

My FYP is video after video of pre-med students explaining how the big bill’s student loan cap will make it impossible for them to afford med school. Experts were already predicting a doctor shortage to the tune of 86k by 2036. This will make it exponentially worst. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8hFxfBL/
The government just ended my ability to even apply to medical school, it’s no longer an option because private student loans would lead to absolute financial ruin. All of my work for the past 5-8 year...

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

🧵 When authoritarian leaders attack judges as "enemies," history shows us exactly where this leads. Trump's assault on "USA HATING JUDGES" isn't just inflammatory rhetoric—it's following a script written by strongmen worldwide. But other countries show us how to fight back.

I cannot emphasize this enough; people were live-tweeting imaginary gun battles between North Carolina sheriffs and FEMA stormtroopers, and the richest man in the world was one of them. People can now live in their own imaginary worlds if they want to, and they're choosing to, at scale.
Like, an entire discourse emerged around the LIE that Biden abandoned North Carolina after Helene. I do not think even a whisper will emerge around the very real fact that Trump is doing exactly this.
