Mood on Bluesky today. Good day to read a book.

The guy in a “Justice for Charlie” T-shirt reminds me why I don’t like to spend too much time in Florida.

Never doubt the Democratic leadership’s ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Bunch of capitulators

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

What, exactly, is the Trump strategy with this? Do they think that making enough people suffer will push Democrats to fold? Or do they just enjoy making people suffer?

Pathetic indeed. But also a bit scary because it’s what they want the US to become.

3 goals: money and power and hatred.

The MAGA cult just loves their dictators. They’re so jealous of countries where fascism has taken deeper root.

Not sure how to verify, but it does look different

“DOJ files a lightning fast appeal to keep people hungry.”
The cruelty in this administration is truly despicable.

So, the results of Tuesday’s elections are fake, but “if you keep voting this way you might not be voting much longer.”

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I just realized that this was a sign of just how they would run America, with an unbelievably high level of stubborn incompetence.

He looks so peeved.

As someone collapses behind him, Trump merely looks annoyed, without a shred of concern. And yet somehow a third of the country still believe that he cares for them.

Great summary of the judgment by Judge Ellis against ICE activity in Chicago.

GOP Congressman Warns His Own Party Of Election ‘Bloodbath’ Without 1 Key Change Texas Rep. Chip Roy said Republican election losses this week had served as a “wake-up call.”

I strongly support Rep. Chip Roy's recommendation that Republicans should double down on their support for Trump. He's absolutely right that it will affect the GOP's electoral chances, just maybe not in the direction he thinks.

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Opinion | Trump Is an Albatross

“The results, then, are a marked contrast to the accommodation, capitulation and outright surrender of prominent individuals and institutions in the face of Trump’s demands.”

Any chance university presidents, business leaders, and others will listen and start to stand up to Trump now?

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.
