I want to see Democrats doing this to conservative institutions and organizations if they get a trifecta again. The Right needs to feel the boot they gave us this stuff can't remain asymmetric forever.

The first answer: "In this country those honors are conferred by consensus after a person's death."
The second: "I'm not particularly worried about anyone who thinks a man who spiritually and financially bankrupted us is worthy of his name on a building."

I doubt that any Democrat in the '28 mix would leave Trump's name on buildings. Questions are how they talk about taking it off, and what they say when reporters ask some version of "but wouldn't that further divide the country?"
There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

A West Virginia poll shows 70% approve of the Affordable Care Act but 70% disapprove of Obamacare. It’s telling how many people still don’t realize they’re the same law.

like his complaint is literally that there are people who believe in things, believe those things are right, and believe in those things regardless of whether they are popular.

I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.

Conservative Christian Men: "I'll kill any [derogatory name for transperson] who follows my daughter into the bathroom, but I won't got to the cops if anyone from my church rapes my daughter because Pastor Steve said I'll go to hell if I do."
America is a Christian nation (derogatory).
Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.
They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.
Truly chilling, from @jlussenhop.bsky.social & Andy Mannix

Sean is right. We were too lenient after 1865. No sense doing it again in 2025.
We don't need to immediately invite these people in. We need to play up Trump as a false prophet. Break their spirits and destroy their will to fight/vote.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Honestly the full-body disgust and horror I felt the first time I saw a post from that man, went to block who I had assumed was a random racist asshole of no consequence, and saw he was a former Gorsuch clerk and Grassley's Chief Counsel for nominations and now advises Trump on judicial nominations

The Pentagon just sent its most advanced aircraft carrier to the Caribbean. Cover story says it’s for “drug interdiction,” but moving a nuclear-powered supercarrier that close to Venezuela sends a very different message. All Hell can break loose any day now.

Incredible.
Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.
