From a Bluesky post on which the author chose to disable quote-tweets (fair enough, and I wouldn't quote it if I weren't complimenting it: "Instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters.""

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

Breaking: A Utah judge just tossed out Republicansโ€™ gerrymandered map and ordered a new map that will include a new safe Democratic seat.

Utah now joins California in helping to cancel out Trumpโ€™s gerrymandering.

After rounds of golf & parties in Palm Beach, Trump will fly to attend a football game while his economic advisers hit the Sunday shows trying to convince people that the terrible economy they said would be booming is the fault of Dems, while promising it will be great next year.

Trumpโ€˜s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.
