OK Rewriting without typos: Democrats - learn from Labour. "Moving right" forces your core voters to go elsewhere or stay home. It does NOT persuade right-oriented voters to move your way. This is no longer a wild theory "from the left." It is proven in the UK, as well as many academic studies.

Every weakness in our political system – the Electoral College, the makeup of the Senate, lifetime terms for the Supreme Court, the acceptance of gerrymandering – has been weaponized by the fascists to steal our government from us.

Ted Turner had an instinct for mergers, a lot of charm, an inhuman level of self-confidence, AND a wildly overinflated sense of what he could pull off, and if I were to pick a single deal that represented all of those qualities, it would be "I think I can turn Jane Fonda into a trophy wife."

Many people did the same thing he did, but in this case a long investigation revealed that Trump wanted this particular individual prosecuted. - Todd Blanche

Maxwell has zero credibility. She already swore to Todd Blanche that Donald Trump (and Jeffrey Epstein!) did nothing wrong and nobody believed her. If she tries to expose Trump after he leaves office, he'll just call her a bitter lying sex offender and move on.

The Senate passed the Voting Rights Act renewal in 2006 by a vote of 98-0. The Supreme Court majority gutted it on the grounds that the Justices personally dislike the impact.

I guess it’s good that threatening to destroy a civilization because his war of choice isn’t going well is getting people to call Trump unhinged but when the fuck was that guy ever hinged?

Starts a fight with a guy he does not know or understand. Is ASTOUNDED when the guy fights back. Turns to the gathered crowd and demands someone win the fight for him. Everyone folds their arms. Throws a tantrum because it’s “unfair.” The Art Of The Deal

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

At last. SCOTUS remembers that Congress is a separate and co-equal branch of government, to whom the Constitution assigns the power to levy taxes. One of Trump’s favorite levers is removed from the arsenal of extortion.

it's funny in a way, but the rubio speech is an AI-quality imitation of an Obama speech, but with ethnonationalism replacing pluralism. It's as if the prompt were, "write me an obama speech but make it white supremacist." Hasn't been president in a decade but they're still biting
