Dave Berman - Stop Trump

The Dow dropping below 50,000 today makes it ok to criticize Trump, right, Pam Bondi?

Even people who are ostensibly Trump supporters must know at some level that if they put their money in a "Trump Account" there's a very high chance that they will never see their money again, right? Isn't that his brand - take all of your money for himself?

I Googled "Lady Gaga tattoos" to figure it out.

Fight to live, don't live to fight Friday night I saw Trevor Noah perform in Baltimore.

It boggles my mind that Dave Mustaine got kicked out of what would become the biggest metal band in history and ended up then founding the second biggest metal band in history.

It's a great album! His lyrics are generally pretty subpar and cheesy. I like A Tout Le Monde, Blood of Heroes, Addicted to Chaos, etc. If you like it on a re-listen check out Risk.

Then they had breakups and reformed and Dave Mustaine had injuries and cancer and essentially I think everything after that is pretty mediocre, although from time to time they still put out a banger song like Moto Psycho or Super Collider. I keep listening to the new stuff but am always disappointed

Ok, now you've forced my hand. For Mike, who I barely know, I'm a big Metallica fan and really like early Megadeth. I think Rust In Peace, Countdown To Extinction AND Youthansia are great. They then softened, so they lost the hardcore Megadeth fanboys, but I really enjoy Risk and Cryptic Writings.

Preparing for a Blue Wave Even though we’re seeing crisis after crisis on a daily basis, I want to take some time to discuss the midterms.

Incumbents will be tempted to lay low, make minimal promises and coast in complacently. They need to be pushed -- primary challengers and town halls, etc.

Get promises of action now so they hit the ground running when they retake Congress. Stake out a clear agenda, win a strong mandate, get moving.

Absolutely right. Call them all, call them repeatedly, don't stop.

I'm fucking furious And every decent American should be too

And this is much better still

She can shut the Senate down entirely. She is a US Senator. She can withhold unanimous consent. She can filibuster.

SHUT DOWN THE SENATE. Also retire please.

The government is murdering people in the streets. The LEAST we can do is not fund it. @vanhollen.senate.gov , @alsobrooks.senate.gov , SHUT DOWN THE SENATE. No bills, no confirmations, NOTHING until this ends. We demand it!

What if I want to help print too?

That's not enough. Shut the Senate down. If not now, when?

Just one poll...but Democrats should prepare for a possible national environment like this and act accordingly. Nominate candidates that could win everywhere. The candidate you nominate in a neutral or D+2 environment is very different than one in a D+10 or D+15 one. Shoot the moon!

To be fair, he has no idea what "independent" means. Evidence: See the FEC.

Your city could be the next Minneapolis The blessing and the curse of the Internet is that there is no such thing as “local” news anymore - everything is global.

Remember that every accusations is a confession. The reason Republicans believe (or pretend to believe) that ICE protesters are paid is that they have no principles and would themselves only stand up for their community if they were being paid.

Didn't Stephen Miller relocate his family to a military base because he was scared he couldn't defend his home?

Once we get out of this mess, before any public politics debate is had, participants must be asked who they supported in 2024. Anyone who says Trump should be ignored and/or mocked.

Well a failure for us. It's been a resounding success for him personally.
