Still upset about no power of the purse language. You truly do hate to see it. The Trump admin undertook the most expansive set of illegal budgetary actions of any president in history, and broadcast as loudly as possible they’d keep doing it, and nothing. Budgetary lawlessness.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

yup, it's a non-ideological cross-cutting campaign that can help dems perform well with people aligned with them on an axis other than D vs R (this is also how trump won in 2024, just with prices)
A pro-affordability, anti-Trump-corruption message unites the party. Every candidate can run on that, and every candidate can have their own take to fit that to their constituents. There's really no need to find fights to pick when the party agrees on more than it disagrees
Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇
When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

The rapid decimation of traditional media is both travesty & opportunity for the left. Opportunity in that the left had become over-reliant on these outlets & now has to reckon w/ the need for infrastructure to tell their stories & to contest the right’s reconfiguration of reality, politics, values.

I know a thing or two about SNAP because President Biden appointed me to work in the office that oversees that program at USDA.

You should know that people are going to go hungry this month because the Trump White House deliberately chose to withhold their benefits.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society
What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

Your occasional reminder that Russ Vought, who is claiming the right to fire civil servants for whatever reason he sees it, once refused to quit a political appointment position even after Trump had lost.

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth.

Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

Vought’s threat all but calls forth Lincoln’s searing argument at Cooper Union:

“Plainly stated … you will destroy the Government, unless you be allowed to construe and enforce the Constitution as you please, on all points in dispute between you and us. You will rule or ruin in all events.”
Marshall calls Vought a degenerate criminal for his threats to maul the people’s government, and he’s right — but the truth is even more galling.

Assent to our crimes against the Constitution, Vought now demands — or else he will commit further such crimes. He _revels_ in flouting his oath.
This seems to be their angle. If there’s a shutdown they won’t furlough employees they’ll fire them permanently. The fact that this is illegal kind of isn’t the point these days. I don’t see why this is much of a threat. They don’t have to do this. It’s a choice. They run the govt. when things …
