Trump saying the country turned against Republicans because they shut down the government.

Feels relevant.

I actually feel a little sorry for Mike Johnson. Before he became Speaker only a handful of people knew what a smarmy little idiot he was. Now, several hundred million people know.

Forgive the Revolutionary War symbolism.

Today, NJ & VA were at a pivotal moment โ€” just like during 2 defining periods of the Revolution. This time, two strong women stood against the pull of authoritarianism.

NJ & VA became beacons of victory & democratic strength for a nation needing it.

A Confederacy of Toddlers The Trump administration is a regime of troubled children.

Trumpโ€™s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served.

Protecting people's health care is worth fighting for. Stopping our health care system from going into a death spiral is worth fighting for. People want Democrats to stand for something.

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states.

Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

Most Americans support the Paris Agreement.
Seems hard to believe right now.
But notice the downtick/ uptick after presidential elections. Less people care when they think the government is on it. But when the government is out, interest grows again.
