@schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social have you seen this? It’s worth repeating — you both need a big sign of your offices, “IT’S THE CORRUPTION, STUPID” paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

More of this rhetoric, please. Much more. Yes, I’m looking at y’all, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov
We will vote to rebuke him so decisively no president will dare such abuses again for centuries.

Dear Dems and libs: Stop helping Republicans muddy differences between the parties on AI and data centers by acquiescing to the "bipartisan opposition" frame. Rs are laughing at you while polls show Rs now leading Ds on these issues. Instead, tie Rs directly to Trump's AI/data center malevolence.
Trump is a world-historical villain who's putting us all in extreme danger, so put him at the center of this story. Dems can highlight how Trump is actively using DOJ and EPA to help AI data centers steamroll communities, and vow that a Dem majority will stop it. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2154...

As snake bitten, rushed, and as much of a humanitarian disaster the withdrawal from Afghanistan was, something that stuck with me is that Gen. Donahue was the last soldier to get on the plane, physically ensuring "no man left behind." I served under him in the 82nd. Ride or Die. True Leader.
Obviously Hegseth hates anyone who has actually earned military accolades, but one suspects Gen. Donahue's cardinal sin was helping Ukraine effectively fight Russia even after Trump cut off military aid The result: one of America's foremost experts in drone warfare got the boot

Combatants are using drones to intentionally target and kill civilians at much greater rates than ever before, and I think we need to do something about that ASAP. My thoughts on how: little-flying-robots.ghost.io/what-can-we-...

if the moderate wing of the Dem party would spend even half of the energy they are spending fighting the DSA on fighting Trump they wouldn't be losing so many primaries to the DSA

Enjoy your dinner tonight, members of the White House Correspondents Association, you miserable embarrassments to the profession.
Q: Do you think it's appropriate to subpoena family members of journalists to find out information? TRUMP: I don't know. Barack Hussein Obama did it all the time. He went after journalists and nobody said anything about it.
It’s “Xitter”; The X is pronounced as in “Xi Jinping”.
X (it's not Twitter any more and hasn't been in years) is the red state diner of the internet: the place lazy journalists go to get a sense of what they think "real" americans believe based on a ridiculously reductive and wrong definition of what it is to be a real american.

Daphy Michel, a 31-year-old Haitian asylum seeker, was found dead of hypothermia at a Pittsburgh bus stop on March 2, three days after being released from ICE custody 30 miles from her home. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s office has ruled her death a homicide.

"The dichotomy of the UFC event is stark: a guy who lied, cheated and stole his way through life, watching fighters who could only get to the octagon by working for it. Trump will bask in the spotlight of an event paid for in sweat and blood that isn’t his-- and tax dollars that aren't his, either."

I’d add it’s not just now that he’s hugely unpopular: A lot of this administration’s priorities since day one imply a concerted effort to ensure that a second coup attempt would succeed. Just telling people to vote and hope the magic of democratic institutions fixes everything is suicidally naive.
When you lay it all out, it's VERY clear what Trump has in mind. And it demands immediate planning and action to stymie his extralegal plans. Things like removing GOP judges and justices, denying appropriations, regular impeachment demands... Hoping normal means will suffice is deranged.
