We are in a new period of Democratic politics...the 2028 election will be the first cycle where a post-Trump Democrat, who truly understands the new rules and knows how to bring a political knife to a knife fight, will be the standard-bearer of the party on the presidential ticket.

Put simply, these are not your typical Democrats...these 6 members of Congress stand out due to their careers. As veterans of the U.S. military or intelligence services, they are public servants who are unafraid of facing down enemy combatants in defense of the principles they believe in.

The video never claimed Trump issued any illegal orders, nor did the six Democrats cite Trump by name. But his freakout was an admission that Trump is the unspoken threat here. The Democrats set the trap, and as he often does, Trump fell right into it. open.substack.com/pub/thinkbig...

AOC then blamed Trump’s broken brain, saying his “remarks…indicate a level of instability.

As The Washington Post’s slogan used to say, democracy dies in darkness. Today, darkness is closing in because a demagogue sits in the Oval Office and so much of America’s wealth and media ownership is concentrated in the hands of a few people easily manipulated by that demagogue.

Acquisition of a media company should be treated differently from the acquisition of, say, a company developing self-driving cars or small nuclear reactors, because of the media’s central role in our democracy. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Each of the 6 members of Congress who made the “Don’t Give Up the Ship” video is an American hero. These are fraught times. Those who choose to step up & lead the way do so despite a toxic political environment & a president who uses sham investigations to create fear & impose financial hardship.

Mark Kelly and his wife have devoted their lives to serving this nation and the Constitution. We must have their backs. Together, there is nothing we cannot do. United, the threats by Trump and Hegseth are seen as the cries of frightened little boys whose fantasy world is crashing around them.

In a fight between Mark Kelly and a dozen of Trump’s court jesters, my money is on Mark Kelly. The only problem for Mark Kelly and his brave colleagues is that they are out front on their own and exposed. We must all be Mark Kelly. We must give them cover and support by standing by their side!

Kelly...posted on Facebook: “If this is meant to intimidate me & other members of Congress from doing our jobs & holding this administration accountable it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.”

Attacking Kelly appeals to Trump’s base, but it was impetuous. As law professor John Pfaff noted: “There’s clearly no adult in the room to say ‘wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran [for office] after his wife was a victim of political violence.’”
