every single one of these fascist fucks should be removed from office
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

With the American military adopting such pointlessly cruel and antagonistic anti-LGBTQ+ policies it’s good to see some other countries are taking the opposite approach.

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.
Unprecedentedly corrupt.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

I think the American right is in fact correct about several things and it would be wise to concede that.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

Okay at this point you have to ask yourself “If I was actively collaborating with Trump to make sure he stayed in power while pretending to be in opposition, what would I do differently”
A Democratic messaging firm ("Navigator Research") tied to the establishment has sent out a memo on govt shutdown fight around DC this am.
They want the Democrats/progressives to focus on "bipartisanship" and focus no pissing of Republicans by talking about "stopping Trump." 🙃

You know, I've been saying basically the same thing — the Constitution has lapsed, we're in the state of nature, yada yada — but I dunno. The constitutional order is reasserting itself a bit in the Abrego Garcia case and related matters
Including, crucially, among the broader public
Including, crucially, among the broader public
I'm not sure how helpful this is in terms of messaging, but it's clear to me that we're not in a "constitutional crisis" per se--we're more in a post-constitutional era.
The administration is not limiting itself to constitutional boundaries, so the constitution does not protect us on its own.

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.
The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.
No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.
