Hope you are right. No time for a victory lap yet. Want to see Dems come out with a playbook like their project 2026 , get Buttigieg and Raskin to write it. They can’t pretend they have an answer to project 2025 unless they go through the same strategizing. They can’t rest in a few marginal Wins.
Yes, but does that mean that they will continue with tariffs? That’s not better for the American people—it means we will still be over taxed without representation because we didn’t VOTE for this SHIT!!
What a relief it did not pass. It is time, Republicans, to stand up to and against the fascist Trump. Grab his whip from him and turn it on him and each of his corrupt administration.
This made me feel better about the about a dozen letters I've written to my Republican senator so far, to which some munchkin in a cellar office or more likely a robotic letter writer never fails to respond with a say-nothing generic reply. I was just sitting down to write another one on the theory that you must never, ever give up, as Winston Churchill forever reminds us, when I opened this substack to find that--lo and behold and huzzah!--our letters and calls appear to be having some effect. Maybe even my last letter, which summarized my frustration, coming to a crescendo with ten words left to go. Do your effing job, or else. I always vote. (One word to spare; ahem.) I'm planning to write him about the new budget proposal as soon as they get their act together enough to settle on one.
I would add that this stuff from Dems doesn't just happen. It is planned, organized and executed with a lot of thought. If conditions on the ground change, adaptation needs to happen as well.
The regime, on the other hand? They keep assuming Plan A is going to work just as envisioned, a sucker bet if ever there was one. Nor do they have any backup plan other than retreat when things go sideways.
So long as these two things remain true, we'll make it.
We need to remind those wavering Republicans (and the public) of their previous slavish devotion to all things Trump. They should not get off easy.
Trump is floating an idea of increasing taxes on millionaires to the Obama times tax bracket - I think it will go nowhere
But it might because our President knows it worked for President Obama and he’s got to dig himself out of this hole somehow.
It will go nowhere. Everyone who’s paid into the GOP for the past 20 years won’t allow it.
I think it's just optics.

Really, really support this idea
No they shouldn’t. They are as complicit as Trump. Made more ! They should have known better.
Bring it on!
Hype the Trump corruption!
Oppose blatant BS!
Put pressure on politicians outside the beltway, into their swing voting districts!

Except little by little cases by case is too little too late. Where is the broad action front managing the crisis, neutralising threats?!?
