Okay but why don’t they go after the big guns?

Durbin and Shaheen are retiring. Not sure about the rest. Not ending on a high note.

Must go yesterday

Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”

NEW: President Trump's pardon of his alleged 2020 co-conspirators was less about shielding them from past crimes, his adversaries say, than about signaling to others that he has their back if he needs them again in 2026 or 2028.

This Week at Democracy Docket: A Major Win for Democracy — and the Coming Attack on Mail Voting Read more here.

From Virginia up to Maine, New Jersey out to California, and plenty of places in between, Tuesday was a great night for democracy — and an awful night for President Donald Trump. Democracy Docket loved tracking every win — and explaining what it all amounted to. But we did a lot else this week, too.

They panic about fertility rates, say families need to be having more children, then they starve the kids and ensure health insurance is impossible to afford. Plus all the other things that would dissuade people from having kids: houses impossible to buy, diminishing middle class, ICE everywhere.

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social: “The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no proof they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had evidence, they’d face a court, not a drone.”

Seven strikes. Thirty-two dead. Zero indictments.

Pierre PoiLIEvre is a D!€k: Part 177

Pierre PoiLIEvre’s office put out a statement about MP Chris d’Entremont’s interview this morning with CBC.

This reads very much like a Maga style gangster rant.

Why is the Supreme Court allowing all the starving to happen

Robert Reich What Trump’s Tyranny Is Revealing to America

These are dark times to be sure. But I believe future generations will look back on this scourge and see not just what was destroyed but also what was born. Many of you are now sowing the seeds of fundamental reform. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/a01JFFB_aE4

So here's where we are, Sunday morning:

Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases.

So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care.

Dystopian.

I asked my spirit guides: Are there Supreme Court justices sitting on the bench who sexually abused trafficked girls via Epstein?

Yes!

Hiding the Epstein Files, they get to keep their bench seats....

Regardless, the files will be released shortly!

Wow, indeed. This is very much worth reading.

Absolutely, positively. And for the Caribbean boat strikes, too.

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

Maddow Blog | Poll shows the ‘No Kings’ protest movement topping MAGA in public support As the first year of Donald Trump's second term nears its end, 30% of Americans are aligned with MAGA, while 43% are aligned with the No Kings protest movement.

No Kings is more popular than MAGA.

Act accordingly. www.yahoo.com/news/articles/m...

And they're living it up with dancing girls at Mar-a-Lago and drinking bubbly at the new Café de Rose Garden and hitting companies up for Trump's opulent ballroom and squeezing a 747 from Qatar and selling watches and crypto and sneakers and otherwise making a mint.

It shouldn't be hard at all.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

And here are a few more, from "Big crowds protest Trump across U.S." in the Washington Post to "REIGN CHECK" in the Chicago Sun-Times
