And and as others have also pointed out, Democratic officials need to stop the fantasy rhetoric of they “need their Republican colleagues to….” Just lame and never going to happen.

Van Hollen has been much better than most Democrats, but once again, I am asking elected leaders to stop providing running commentary like a common pundit or beat reporter and instead tell *us* what to do about it or tell us what *they* are doing about it.
Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

Reagan SAID good things written by skilled speechwriters.

The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

We saw Trump despicably attack two female reporters. Yet not one member of the corporate media at those events stood up for these reporters. That is both inexcusable and tells you so much about the horrible state of corporate media. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-tras...

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.
If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.
