“This is exactly the moment for people to stand up. And do I see enough people doing it? No, I don’t. It shouldn’t be that there are Democrats that are afraid, because you know what? We’re the targets. We need to be strong, we need to fight back.” Thank you, @govpritzker.illinois.gov!

Epstein SHOULD have led to prosecutions, resignations, and other consequences for those involved. But (and I hate to say it) I feel like the Dems are manipulating their base with performative nonsense. If Dems really cared about pedos they would have looked into Johnson’s “adoption” years ago.

What is up with Centrists crying about being called Centrists lately? These are the same people who ran screaming from being called liberal in the 90s. And they just blamed the 2024 loss on progressive groups. So, who do they claim to be?

This is a message that the rest of the Democratic Party has not sent nearly enough.

So many normal people being brave and then all these wealthy and powerful people being cowards. History will not be kind to the people like shari Redstone who enabled Trump.

Yes, precisely this. “We shouted and screamed about Trump being a dictator! And he won anyway!” No you most manifestly did not. I was there. You did exactly what you’re doing now: argued that overreacting to Trump would alienate voters, and you should keep your head down and focus on policy.

Apparently the sea lions think we are no longer allowed to call Centrists “Centrists”.

Re: #6. Scrutinizing both parties. During the "Twitter Files" nonsense, Weiss' partner in propaganda, Matt Taibbi, openly admitted that he had no intention to scrutinize the Trump administration, claiming that he'd let other journalists do that. "Twitter Files" was unabashedly partisan reporting.

While Democrats are certainly not to blame for the Trump administration's illegal detention actions, they are absolutely complicit in making it so difficult for individuals to sue and get justice when federal agents violate the civil rights of American citizens.

"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'you’re free to go.'" #KavanaughStop

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable." President John F Kennedy

I'm a big believer in naming things in order to address them properly. "Kavanaugh Raids" is spot on.

Certain Dem voters stayed home in 2024. They did so not because they preferred Trump, but because they saw no daylight between Trump and Harris on the critical issue of Gaza. Saying that Trump is giving unconditional support to Israel is not a dunk when Biden and Harris provided the same support.

This is how toxic the Centrist wing of the party is. They literally cannot handle it if progressives even express a preference for non-Centrist policies.

Why do Democrats whisper their concerns to the GOP instead of publicly screaming from the mountain tops? This is not a rhetorical question. Why are they so afraid to fight Trump head on?

This is one of those things that is simultaneously true and also focus-grouped to Hell.

This is funny to those who follow politics. But I think it is too clever by half. Just call Trump a liar. Full stop.

How can Democrats manage to make my eyes glaze over even while revealing that Trump ran the most dishonest campaign in U.S. history?

Klein gets two big things wrong. First, the refusal to enforce red lines is what leads to the disappearance of the red lines. The public has accepted Trump behavior that was rejected in 2016 because (elected) Dems stopped saying it was a red lines. 1/x

BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel has released the private messages of the Dallas ICE facility immigrant shooter.

Sinclair Broadcast Group said that it will resume broadcasting “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on its ABC affiliate stations Friday night. The decision affects viewers in nearly 30 markets — including D.C.

When you say you want to introduce legislation (that can’t pass) in response to Trump breaking the law, you are tacitly saying that the actions are not currently illegal. You are de facto giving Trump a pass.

Paramount is actually more deserving of a boycott, because their behavior (bribing Trump) was more egregious. Disney was more of a victim, in that it was openly threatened by the government. But boycotting both is fine.

Boycott Disney. Cancel your Hulu subscription. Cancel your Disney+ subscription.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Trump: "ANTIFA are fascists/terrorists" Will Stancil: "Don't worry about what organizational lists you might end up on!"

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

to put a fine point on it: for all intents and purposes, charlie kirk was not only a member of the government, he was a highly valued and senior member. on the other hand congressional dems and career civil servants are not viewed that way at all.

This sets up an absurd standard where the only justification for criticizing Kirk is if he personally committed violence. But the entire reason liberalism is under attack is the constant lies and endorsement of violence by prominent conservatives, not because they're doing it themselves!

Fuck Barack Obama. He’s useless.

The greatest thing that Biden could have done for climate change would have been to fire Merrick Garland and replace him with a real AG.

If this was a movie, the award would be an effort to cover up a failed effort to knock a guy off. Just sayin’.

He was inspired by Andy Kaufman and the past 10 years have been an elaborate comedy bit. But he doesn’t want to die without a reveal.

After the election, some people made fun of me for saying Harris invited people who just don't like carcinogens in their food supply to vote for Trump. Sorry, the American people did NOT vote to destroy public health. They do not want all vaccines abolished. That was a disaster.

One thing that I will say is that Dems would be smart to introduce a very clean Voter-ID bill. All it would do would be to require Voter ID and provide federal funding to states to help the elderly and disabled get IDs.

I've only given mean looks to two people in public: Bill Clinton and Steven Seagal. But Hannity would definitely make the cut if given an opportunity.

Here's an idea, if you're Democrats...don't be a "dark money" group. Be a "we're funding this because it's a good idea and we aren't afraid of people knowing about it" group. If you are afraid of people knowing what you're doing with the money, you almost certainly shouldn't be doing it.

Why establishment Democrats are stupid, part 674,980:

Poor Cracker Barrel. Tried to bring their logo into the 21st C. And now they’ve been kicked back to 1977.

Not only did FDR have no problem blaming Hoover and the GOP, but he refused to embrace bipartisanship in crafting policy. Hoover offered to implement FDR agenda early if FDR watered it down. FDR refused. Incredibly, Obama once said that FDR made a mistake in rebuffing Hoover.

"Change the entire Constitutional order but don't make us write a Dred Scott or Plessy"

Too bad Biden and Garland couldn’t care less.

The Cracker Barrel rebrand is the worst thing to happen in America since the War on Christmas.

What Trump is doing is disgusting. But every single U.S. Attorney regularly engages in coercive prosecutions. This is why federal prosecutions virtually never go to trial. And it was true long before Trump came along.

The reason I genuinely hate Biden, Harris, Obama, and the Clintons is that they could go raise a $50M legal defense fund for Abrego Garcia in an afternoon. People ask, “What can they do?” THAT is what they can do.

The press allows Trump to careen wildly from “Obama spied on me” to “I could be the one ordering raids”. From “Don’t impeach me, I can be charged criminally” to “I’m immune from prosecution”. From “My opponent’s AG is running a biased investigation” to “Special Counsels have no authority”.
