“If they don’t come out in November and January and do serious things — have ostentatious investigations, pass laws to get money out of politics — then by next spring, we’ll be back in a country where people say, ‘Everybody is corrupt.’ In that environment, Trump can survive.

In conversation with Tim Snyder

“It’s important to think not about what he’s going to do to us, but what we’re going to do to him.”

Can we call what Trump has for himself "love" which requires a clear-eyed acknowledgement of the dark and the light? Is it not, rather, Narcissism, which is the love of one's reflection? Love of what shows you to be what you already thought you were and the deep denial of the parts you don't like?

"Trump’s hate is the product of his disordered love for himself over anyone else; his injuries and humiliations and their revenge are the most important thing to him." www.unpopularfront.news/p/trumps-inf...

I'm not surprised at all that Jeffries is threatening other Democrats, but it's not only Trumpian: these are the exact same tactics of threat and intimidation deployed by Pelosi, by Biden-era Dem elites, and by the DOJ when Garland was critiqued. Calling it "Trumpian" ignores the whole history.

Here are the Democrats who helped Trump, Stephen Miller, Republicans & their Big Tech allies out by voting to advance a deregulatory bill that will speed up building of data centers and ICE warehouses.

Jesus fucking christmas tree farmer the Dems PROVE they're going to usher in a new era of MAGA faster than it took Carter to toss out the energy after the Nixon blue wave and saddle us with 12 years of Reaganite insanity.

Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · 5d ago

UPDATE: 22 Democrats led by @schumer.senate.gov vote to advance Trump/Republicans' deregulatory bill that will make it easier for Stephen Miller to build more ICE warehouses and Big Tech to build out more data centers.

Schumer recruited this woman to run for Senate! My god

The Washington Sun@washingtonsun.com · 5d ago

While she remained out of sight to reporters, it turns out Haley Stevens spent Monday’s vote series in the Republican cloakroom just off of the House floor, multiple sources told The Washington Sun.

Oh hey, did you know that on MONDAY the senate will vote on a *bipartisan* "permit reform" bill that would SPEED UP building DATA CENTERS and GIANT OIL & GAS PLANTS to power them? Right after, you know, a historic rejection of corruption and high energy prices? Smash those CALL and EMAIL buttons‼️

No Dirty Data Center Deal — Stop BAAJA

AI is greedy for energy, water, and land. The BAAJA “permit reform” bill will kill our protections. Tell Congress: No dirty data-center deal in the lame duck!

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned...

Centrism did not win the Democratic party the election

The blue wave, while a rebuke of Trump’s policies, was also a referendum on the party’s status quo

Dear, @adamschiff.com , @padilla.senate.gov . As your constituent, I strongly urge you to follow @repstansbury.bsky.social who requests you and your colleagues vote NO on the BAAJA (S.5653). Respect tribal lands, tribal folks, and tribal sovereignty. Thanks for your attention in this matter.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.social · 6d ago

This bill is a Trojan Horse. I urge my Senate colleagues to vote NO. We cannot greenlight transmission at any cost, including undermining tribal sovereignty, protections for sacred sites, public lands, clean water, wildlife, and the environment for generations to come.

That Trump would accidentally offer the wrong Dana White the job of Press Secretary - on the 6th anniversary of Four Seasons Total Landscaping day - is, well, perfect.

oh :/

BREAKING: Trump is reposting false claims that the midterm results were manipulated, including calls for hand counts and doubts about James Talarico's Texas Senate win. It comes less than four days after he said he was "absolutely willing" to accept the results. https://demdock.com/4iEYf8F

It makes clear that MAGA election denialism remains alive and well heading into the Trump's last two years in office.

Since May, I’ve been thinking about @sifill.bsky.social’s post-Callais comments. I thought then, and I believe moreso now, it was one of the most important statements of the year. Thank you to the black women and men who worked, ran, and showed up (again) with your voices and your votes.

Incredible story here. Victoria Broderick and Lakesha Womack are working-class women. Womack was homeless and living in a motel 7 years ago. Neither of them pursued donors and instead focused on local organizing. They each spent less than $100k on their races. They're both going to Congress.

The can try and lie about it now, but this was Marco Rubio’s first public comment about the Iran War after it began, where he states the specific reason it was started. Trump, Vance and Rubio all deny this now, but this is the one and only time they told the truth about it.
