That is the kind of blunt, unmitigated riposte the Democrats should be offering all the time, particularly considering that it is true. And when he broadcasts his ignorance for all the world to see, like he just did with his quack Executive Order declaring renewable energy “inefficient,” they really have a bulls-eye to hit.

Tonight their reputation hangs in the balance, as Trump has personally petitioned editor Emma Tucker to kill the story they’ve been preparing on his friendship with Epstein.

In light of both of the Republican Senate and the House completely abdicating their duty to conduct oversight vested in them by the Founding Fathers, it’s time for the Democrats to convene–on a regular basis–their own hearings into Trump’s misconduct. They started this some months ago, but, once again, have failed to follow through.

And then the Republicans so weaponize red-state populations agains their own survival that their voters vote in the GOP politicians who steal the subsidies we blue states provide.

and you’ll find patients/residents acting exactly like Trump.

Might be worth a look, eh Jake Tapper?

Ray Suarez describes in The Nation: “Meeting almost no resistance or reply from Democratic candidates for high office, Republicans were able to define the battlefield, equating millions of workers, students, and homemakers scattered across American communities with cartel drug mules, rapists, and members of the notorious MS-13 gang.”

As he corrects MAGA’s lies and defamation instantly and mocks them mercilessly. This is how a real resistance operates.

Healy was formerly deputy editor of the opinion page and he’s now “assistant managing editor for standards and trust.”That’s a laugh. His yellow sheet of biased reporting well precedes his tenure at the Times, where he has been allowed to run amok as completely as Judith self-described “Miss Run Amok” Miller did when she capsized the Times’ credibility with fabricated reports on Iraq prior to the war. Healy has been caught red-handed over and over again, and yet Sulzberger only extends him a wider and wider remit. Healy helped drive Paul Krugman out of the Times, and he’s responsible for defending their white-supremacist reporting on Mamdani.

Dan Froomkin writes “That he is a rising star at the Times – indeed, said to be among the possible successors to [news editor Joe] Kahn tells you everything you need to know about what’s wrong there.”

Look no further than their demand that Jamelle Bouie, perhaps the one true progressive on the editorial page, retract his post blasting the paper for sourcing their Mamdani hit piece from a “Nazi.”

The Republicans get turned on by how much damage they can do to this country and to Americans who work for a living.

The fact that Democrats cannot win against this Republican Party tells us that a complete rethinking of & by Dem leadership and strategists is mandated.

Remember, where Ron Johnson is concerned, he could have been defeated had the Democratic National Committee given the necessary funds to eminently electable progressive Mandela Barnes.

We can’t tolerate Democratic fuck ups anymore. The Democratic Establishment would rather continue to lose than elect anyone who might challenge their fossilized dominance. That’s what we’re seeing with Mamdani.
