The D Party has devolved into “Not Trump.” It no longer listens, and it doesn’t stand for working folks, wages, or cost of living. If the D Party was branded in, governed on, and talked about kitchen table issues, people would want to be a part of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/u...

Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

This is a good column. Worth reading. I don’t even think candidates need to go as far as Yglesias says at the end — I think simply having common sense immigration and economic policies will do it. open.substack.com/pub/matthewy...

I am not an identity-politics-first sort of guy, but when you watch the race and gender of electeds that Trump arrests, and when you watch the race and gender of university presidents that Republicans drive out, you can’t help but notice they seem to be identity-politics sort of people: racists.

When Senator Padilla asked a question of Secretary Noem, she had just finished calling the Governor and Mayor socialists and she had just said that the Department of Homeland Security was in California to liberate Californians from their duly elected government.

Donald Trump’s government is regularly arresting and charging Democratic office-holders who ask questions. The authoritarian behavior is real.

I am seeing a lot of messaging from Democrats on ICE. Perhaps Democrats could put together and message on an economic agenda. Come on folks — get in the damn game.

We have never needed solid Democratic Party leadership more than now — and all they are doing is fighting with one another. This is such crap. Could we please have strong Democratic leaders? Somewhere? Anywhere? apple.news/AuAIcLl8xQha...

This government is staffed with charlatans, clowns, and people who are weakening the nation. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

In a meeting today a former elected Republican, who is no longer Republican, whom I respect greatly said, “One party is impotent and the other is mean.” That’s pretty clear.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

After announcing he was as reopening Alcatraz and putting a tariff on films made abroad, President Trump announced he would be remaking Cannonball Run.

Trump is still better positioned than Democrats. Democrats need leadership! www.mediaite.com/tv/cnns-harr...

With each day I get increasingly angry at Biden, his key advisors, and current Democratic leadership who have left us with a listless, weak Democratic Party that has no ideas, offers no leadership and is weak on issues that matter to voters. I agree with voices calling to turn them all out.

Bernie Sanders is right: there is no Democratic Agenda and our Congressional leaders are failing us: www.cnn.com/2025/04/30/p...

It has been six months since Republicans won the Presidency, the House & the Senate. The Democratic Party has had six months to present an economic agenda an immigration solution, to share new ideas. I have been on a Pokémon hunt for a Dem agenda and found nothing.

The minimum wage hasn’t been raised since 2009. The longest period in history. Dems failed when some of their own voted against it in 2021. If Democrats want to start winning again, they should create an economic agenda and raise wages for working folks. open.substack.com/pub/populari...

If I don’t honk at Maryland drivers, how will they know that they are driving wrong?

When I see polling with Trump and Republicans in Congress deeply unpopular, and then I see Democrats are more unpopular, I think maybe Democratic Leadership will lead an effort to fix that. Instead they write letters and talk for hours. How about an economic policy agenda? Could you do that?

If he cares so much about his image, why is he wearing the same pocket square every day? He looks like a child with a favorite toy. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
