Animal lover, LGBTQIA+ ally, tree-hugging environmentalist; been told I have a “smart mouth”, so thanks. Sick of fascists and MAGAts. Not interested in crypto or hooking up. Democrat for life. And, oh yeah, I despise *45! Do not DM me uninvited.

Start off with some layups -- stop the ballroom, block the triumphal arch, mandate that the Qatari AF1 jet he says he's keeping belongs to the government, ban presidential stock trading, etc. etc. It'll piss him off and force Republicans to break with him when he vetoes them.

Make him do it. Veto a minimum wage bill. An anti-corruption bill. An end the war bill. A stop ICE bill. A save medicaid bill. A lower prices bill. Make him veto everything people want. Create the contrast, electoralize it, win in '28, and then make it all law in '29. cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_ful...

Trump promising hard ball

Fun fact about me: when I was 8, my friend and I met Newt Gingrich in passing at the Atlanta Zoo. we proceeded to both ferociously lecture him about protecting wild mustangs, while his face grew more and more deer-in-the-headlights like. my parents, who hated him, really enjoyed this.

The downshift in Congressional collegiality began with Newt Gingrich. He instructed other GOP Representatives to attack & malign Democrats, including name-calling. That was over 30 years ago, and it's now baked into their worldview. It's past time that Democrats step up their game.

Trump gets not one single judge or justice confirmed. Let’s be consistent with the rules Mitch McConnell set up. And play hardball. Any member of the Democratic caucus who folds is a dead man walking. We gave you the power-now wield it to benefit America.

The midterm results are amazing. But if the election is the culmination, we’re doing it wrong. Elections create the potential for change; if we keep using our voices, keep letting our elected officials know what matters to us, we can turn that potential kinetic. Stay engaged.

Last year, Hegseth abruptly removed Nancy Lacore from command. No public explanation was provided. Afterwards, she ran for office and has flipped a seat in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District. She will now have the constitutional authority to investigate and oversee his department.

After the Civil War, traitors were not adequately curbed-we got lynchings and Jim Crow. After the Nixon dirty tricks, the colluders who facilitated with him were inadequately punished. And if we fail to address the members of the GOP who actively prevented the release of the trump-Epstein files.
