I know many of my friends and acquaintances are dismayed or dispirited by recent events. However, the endless forms of "I told you so" are not a winning strategy. It may give a moment of satisfaction but it is time to play the long game. Elections happen every 2 years and organizing works. 🔥💪🧡

The positive of Senator Hollen meeting face to face with Mr Garcia it ensures his well being. El Salvador doesn't want to bring out a broken and tortured man. Now a few more senators need to travel to insure safe treatment of their constituents. El Salvador doesn't want proof of torture

No one who's trying to destroy the Department of Education has ever spent three minutes in a public school, and neither have their children or their grandchildren. None of the people destroying any of our valued public services have ever relied on them.

I agree with James Carville. Let the repubs sink their own boat. We are barreling towards a total breakdown and President Musk will take a step too far. The budget cuts will split open the house. It won't take long, the debt limit looms. I give 30 to 60 days.

Opinion | James Carville: It’s Time for a Daring Political Maneuver, Democrats (Gift Article)
There’s nothing Democrats can legitimately do to stop Trump, so we need a tactical pause in our fight to plan for the future.

Stop talking about a constitutional crisis, many don't understand what that means. Talk about farmers with product rotting on docks for USAID, loss of Medicaid, loss of research for cancer, loss of rural hospitals, loss of food stamps. Fact, red states lose more in this purge by Musk and Trump.

Wondering at what point this massacre implodes? As farmers watch product for USAID rot, DOJ folks resign, Hegseth makes rookie errors, children die from preventable disease, SSA slow or stop because no workers, and on and on. This level of destruction will backfire.

Trump thinks the Supremes will back him. Seems clear Thomas and Alito will, but Roberts, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett are on the originalists track. Birthright and congressional power of the purse are established with clear language. He may be surprised. May try to limit or pack the court.

The economy is going to start lurching to a stop as it tries to account for all his "orders". People won't know if their program is funded, many are headed for the unemployment line, services will slow to a crawl and inflation will rise when the tariffs start. Hang on, its going to be a bumpy ride.

As a daughter of a citizen and a person who lacked immigration papers at the time, wondering what my status would be in today's world. My bio father was naturalized after enlisting in the air force. The constitution grants me citizenship but will today's courts follow the constitution.

Wonder if the ICE raids are going to be mostly in "blue" voting areas? Because there are reportedly many immigrants working in poultry and meat packing plants but these are primarily in "red" voting areas.

Per Robert Reich: Just as it’s important not to give up the fight, it’s critically important to take care of yourself. If you obsess about Trump and fall down the rabbit hole of outrage, worry, and anxiety, you won’t be able to keep fighting.

Really working hard to not get excited about every scribble of the marker. Need to save my strength for campaign work, acting local and remembering many of these "orders" will be blocked by the courts. He is fed by drama and reaction. Keep calm and carry on.

The house will certainly flip based on many years of history and many R's are standing for election in the senate. Knowing they will face election in 2026 will force some hard choices. Losing all your meat packing workers, farm workers, roofers, will raise prices. Tariffs raise prices.

The legal filings have started and we will see how many of these executive orders stand in the end. The pardon of J6 convicted criminals will stand but ending birthright, suppressing EV, drill baby drill, and more, unlikely. Save your energy, keep your eye on the ball, 2026.
