My confidence level in the Dems boldly smashing every conglomerate into bits with anti-trust legislation is extremely low

Don't worry GOP! Here comes the famously unbiased Trafalgar Group to save the day!!

Very few things are funny right now but I do chuckle slightly that JD Vance's entire time as VP has been being sent out to eat shit

welcome to personalist america, where the new bar of constituent service is “personally ask the king to release one of my constituents that his paramilitary abducted.” it’s great that mamdani can do that, but feels very, very ominous that he has to.

🚨 FALL GUY IDENTIFIED 🚨 Sounds like Congressional GOP are waiting for Trump & Lutnick to hammer out an array of non-disclosures and rules to ensure he doesn't sing

Anyone know much about this Bengs character? Still seems like a guy that'll lose by 12 but curious

Another failure of media/media environment The ability to make these things VERY clear to voters has existed for a long time Not a single pundit or interviewer or moderator pushed Trump one time on the realities of any of his policies from deportations to tariffs

Yep. This is a growing story to watch. Many of these folks won't just whistleblow, they'll canvass & work for Dem campaigns, run for office themselves, file lawsuits, rally & speak publicly. Very dumb moves from a very dumb authoritarian regime.

With these baseless firings of career civil servants across the government, the Trump admin is stupidly creating an army of whistleblowers to sit in witness chairs at congressional hearings when Dems take the House. Then we will find out the very worst abuses that are happening.

How many of that 360k are ready to come at the out of power Trump regime with receipts? You're already seeing it a little bit in fired military & attorneys, but I believe a somewhat significant amount of these folks will be rearing to charge when Dems are back in control

A winning message going into the midterms. The median American voter loves banks and wants them to have way less oversight.

Once again the Trump regime just shuffles these appointed heads of various departments around to make the same argument. There really are no true heads of any department in this admin, just different snake oil salesmen for ever changing theaters

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

One Texas congressman, Al Green (Dem.), holds up a sign at the State of the Union. Republicans: Censure! Another Texas congressman, Tony Gonzales (Rep.), sexually harasses a staffer who then commits suicide. Republicans: Crickets. ktrh.iheart.com/featured/hou...

It's incredible how big of losers these folks are

Many old school DC "I pine for the days of the Gang of 500" pundits reflexively presume that voters will automatically accept GOP framings on crime/immigration. That keeps being wrong It's weird because it shows the exact sort of contempt for voters that they often accuse Dems/liberals of harboring

Feel free to count me on team "retire the SOTU speech entirely" If the President wants to address Congress, they can do so as a series of committee hearings

One day closer to exiling these goons to Epstein Island

They think they're going to win and don't think having thousands of dedicated career servants pissed off at them is a problem I don't agree

Americans are more likely to say that growing diversity makes the U.S. a better place to live than to say it makes the country worse. (@alxrh.bsky.social @today.yougov.com) More, via Opinion Today: opiniontoday.substack.com/p/260225

In a new WaPo-ABC poll, 79% of Democrats say they are certain to vote in November, compared to 65% of Republicans. The largest gap in that question since 2006. (You're basically seeing exactly this in special election after special election.) www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Listen y’all we have received a WORD

CNN analysis of Trump's SOTU: This was actually his least well-received speech. We're talking about 38% of speech viewers who viewed the speech very positively, and that is lower than in 2025, when it was 44%. Lower than in 2019, when it was 59%. 2018, when it was 48%. And 2017, when it was 57%.

there are some who caught on after J6 but at what point are elected Democrats going to realize the pleasantries behind closed doors are performative and this is genuine, not the other way around

Honestly the capitulation of the GOP to this pathetic shit is not talked about enough

"The only way the opposition can get elected is to cheat" is an authoritarian rationale for a one-party state. There is never unanimity in any polity, and the minority always deserves a voice.

saw someone noting the other day that the next Democratic speaker can simply just not issue an invite to deliver an address to Congress and honestly...yeah

This is why you do stunts. This is why you do stunts. This is why you do stunts.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Imagine if the Dems had coordinated a walk-out. A chant. Something—anything—to show unified defiance

Rep. Al Green was holding a sign that reads "Black People Aren't Apes" at the #SOTU:

What weird thing just happened that made #$BTC shoot up?

Ok that's a good line

PSA: Switching from Microsoft to Linux is super easy!

Can @gelliottmorris.com or @fiftyplusone.news share where this result came from? I can't find this question in the toplines or crosstabs, thanks!

HOLY SHIT I HADN'T SEEN HIS SAD DIVORCED MAN HAIR DYE HAHAHAHA

4 Minnesota guys

Your free speech rights end where billionaires’ feelings begin.

Something to watch during the post-Trump era is how federal law enforcement/the military is portrayed in pop culture I was a wee pup in the 90's but my understanding is that there was a general air of distrust around those institutions and you see it in stuff like X Files & A Few Good Men 1/

Every single @democrats.org should boycott this disgusting pig's deranged scream a thon tonight. Trump & the GOP are rotten to the core

Still waiting for the first Republican proposal for anything that doesn't involve the wealthy getting more money

My losses are YUGE. Maybe the biggest ever, some say

Getting flashbacks from #MeToo with all these editorials about how look, sure, there were some problems, but we really don't need to keep digging into this, it's a moral panic, see, and you're definitely not going to find anything incriminating in *my* emails so, uh, let's be reasonable here and

This is a really good thread and I want to share a few thoughts I think a lot of folks are still grappling with the deep sense of anger for the failure to bring Trump & his legion of cronies to justice after term 1, especially post election denying and J6. 1/

JUST IN: WEEKS AFTER TRUMP PARDONED BINANCE’S FOUNDER, THE COMPANY DISMANTLED A PROBE INTO IRAN FINANCING AND SUSPENDED THE INVESTIGATORS, PER WSJ ...

I'm convinced that the only 2 people that Trump is actually envious of are Putin and Jared Kushner

Very far from the main point that these people are inhumane and immoral, but don't lose sight of how insanely stupid these folks are electorally TN GOP doing this on the road to midterms is colossally bad politics

Every now and then, I remember that JD Vance smashed the "like" button after reading this tweet, then went back and unliked it five years later when he ran for the Senate.
