DAILY DEMS DOING THE WORK, MAKING NOISE, AND FIGHTING BACK Day 254

9 times out of 10, whenever someone comments “Why aren’t Democrats doing X?” They are, it’s just not getting traction. So, before you say that, make sure or, just amplify what you see, cause someone thinks that isn’t happening.

Now that Governor Abbott has declared war on Northern states, I offer Mexico my support in retaking Texas.

The whole Epstein thing’s got the criminal rattled.

Listen to him, stumbling around trying to answer a question about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell. And he’s trying so hard not to show it.

Republicans are redrawing congressional maps to lock in their power for years to come. Executive Director of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee Marina Jenkins explains how these redistricting moves threaten fair elections and what’s at stake for American democracy. youtu.be/5zBAgwoRiE8

Meiselas: Mike Johnson said that it would be theatrics to meet in public.

Jeffries: It’s not theatrics—it’s what the American people deserve.

If Mike Johnson and Republicans feel like they have the high ground, then defend your position publicly, bro.

Pepper spraying civilians for no reason!

Good news, Dem candidates.

The GOP leader is telling his 2026 candidates that they must not talk about costs unless they are saying how low they are and that tariffs are great.

Which of course means, you get to be the one talking about the truth—that costs are too high and tariffs are a disaster.

We are in a golden age of morons failing upward. Even inbred hapsburgs weren’t doing it like this

Q: Should people expect the National Guard and the military in their streets over the next 3.5 years?

STEPHEN MILLER: *changes topic*

Greta Thunberg after being released #FreedomFlotilla

Portland is a “war-ravaged” city that is “on fire,” President Trump warns. But I braved the artillery fire and militia checkpoints to bring you this video report from the front lines.

They really don't want to release the Epstein Files, huh.

Karoline Leavitt confirms the National Guard deployments are a permanent military takeover. The only way to get them out is when cities form armies and make them leave. Revolution is the only answer, not voting, not elections.

NEW: The militarization of American cities isn’t happening with a parade of tanks. It’s a slow drip of troop deployments that are probing courts’ willingness to give unlimited deference to the commander in chief — and testing workarounds when they don’t.

Wild.

Greg Abbott is so evil. Genuine scumbag. Will never forget him posting memes as thousands died in NY due to COVID. And that's the 20,556th worst thing he's done

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan
