This story is insane. The most corrupt White House in history. Trump ally Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s CEO, was sleeping with a Chinese spy feeding info to Beijing. He helped her help China get around A.I. chip export restrictions — which also benefitted Nvidia — by pushing Trump to do it…

It’s always the same. The Tea Party protests were *insanely small* compared to No Kings, yet the media responded by giving Tea Party Republicans a televised slot to reply to Obama’s SOTU in addition to the regular GOP response.
Schnorkles O'Bork@schnorkles.bsky.social · 5h agoI love* the fact that the media spent years telling us the country had changed forever because of an R +1.5 environment and when it's a D +13 environment they're like "woah there partner, this probably doesn't mean anything."
The way republicans are and have been covered in this country is genuinely what radicalized me I think

Just in recent weeks: a near-massacre of a Hindu temple, a hate attack on *children* at a Diwali celebration by a J6 predator pardoned directly by Trump, and a GOP candidate in Texas explicitly targeted us for hate *in his campaign messaging*. ZERO Republicans were asked to disavow South Asian hate.
Trump lies that he's "won in Iran" and lies that "we haven't lost anybody. No soldiers."
i don’t want to alarm anyone, but my SIL just texted us to say she’s sitting at a gate next to the mypillow guy, who is on the phone with someone, and, get this: he thinks there may have been foreign interference in the election
DOUTHAT: Your net worth went up by $3 billion TRUMP: So did everyone’s DOUTHAT: My net worth did not go up by $3 billion TRUMP: You should’ve owned stock. I have a lot of money. Far more than I ever thought I’d have
"You should've had stock" is so good. I'm slapping my forehead like ahh shit I forgot to be rich

We need to go past the start of Obama's first term (257) and the start of Clinton's first term (258) to the 1990 election (267) to find a bigger Dem House in the past. What's more, the 1990 election was only a 7-seat House gain for Dems, so it was barely a blip of a "swing" compared to today.
Cautious pols will insist Democrats need to “play it safe” by avoiding fights and focusing on small-bore issues around the margins, but *that* is the risky approach, one that all but guarantees the pendulum will swing back. Voters wanted real change. Give it to them or they’ll vote you back out.
Coach Finstock@coachfinstock.bsky.social · 7h agoIt's an historic election. It's a response to the unmitigated disaster and living nightmare we call Trump 2. What I'm saying is this wasn't a vote for their confidence in Dems so much as Time For A Change. Don't listen to anyone running old playbooks. They're losers and stuck in the past
I think the pendulum will swing back some no matter what Dems do because it seems like that’s what happens in politics here and around the world these days. I don’t expect 260 seats in 2028. I want to see aggressive action not because it guarantees electoral success but simply because we need it.

This is the way. Trump started the war. Republicans supported the war. Democrats force an end to the war. Let Republicans in Congress choose between loyalty to Trump and Israel or ending the war. No more resolutions or symbolic votes. Defund the war.

Hundreds at Tea Party rally in 2010 Media: Big story here. The People don’t like Obama. Millions at No Kings rally in 2026 Media: Not much of a story here. We said 2024 meant The People are with Trump; this doesn’t fit that narrative. Both had older protestors. Isn’t this just right-wing bias?
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · yesterdayyou know what was in retrospect a huge story that the political media mostly missed? no kings. the savvy take was that the protests had no juice because so many of the protesters were old. seniors are by far the highest voting propensity age cohort.
After Georgia Dems flipped the House and Governor’s mansion, Senate Dems held a press conference on Wednesday and were asked: “how are Democrats planning to work with Republicans?” I responded, you’re asking the wrong question. The question now is: how are Republicans planning to work with us?
