It is unambiguously good, for Germany and Europe, that the CDU did a 180° turn on fiscal policy and broke its election promises even before day 1 of formal coalition talks. Not sure how its voters will take it, but voters overakk were ahead of the conservatives on debt for a while now.

Yeah me too buddy

One thing that popped out of YouGov polling this week: The idea of Musk making money off his access is VERY unpopular.

You know? I still find it remarkably easy to remain patriotic throughout this administration.

Trump and the MAGA crowd are a repudiation of every single civic ideal that the United States is meant to represent—and I see no reason to stop believing in those ideals because of them.

we do the "working toward the fuhrer" comparison but this is actually paying a compliment to the Trump II administration

Elon Musk and Nancy Mace think they are going to scare me and silence me with a censure. They don’t want opposition as they raid the social safety net. Democrats need to fight harder, not retreat. I’m not backing down folks, I’m from Long Beach.

There are lots of NGOs that use the NH primary to get candidates to commit on video to their goals. In 2008/2012/2016 I kept seeing activists use town halls to get Rs on record that they would support PEPFAR. Used to think "why ask that, who's against it?" And now we know!

A true poster demands abstractly that democrats fight harder

There’s no magic “stop this” button, guys. We can object, and we will. There are courts. But that’s about it. We’ll vote correctly on anything that makes it to the floor.

I hope folks remember that the statute of limitations is long, Dems will regain power, and Merrick Garland is seen as a clear failure in our party. Act accordingly.

Think your grocery bill is high now? Trump just said he’s going to put a 25% tax on all food and goods from Mexico, here’s what that means.

Shock and aw shucks

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Believe it or not, Colombia is an important export market for US wheat, which is already under pressure from climate change. This will probably impact the Great Plains the most.

This guy justifiably believes that he’s been released to vomit extralegal violence for Trump, we’ll see what he does with that!

Glad to see some fight

The J6 pardon story is not going to go away. Emboldened violent lunatics have been given a license to commit crimes on behalf of the state. This will get worse.

Attention Federal Workers: if you encounter one of these folks, contact your friendly Oversight Committee Democrats. We’re always happy to chat.

Response of the President of Panama

4 years ago a mob incited by Donald Trump attacked the Capitol to overturn the election.

Now, Trump wants to pardon these insurrectionists.

In 2023, I visited these prisoners at the DC jail on behalf of the Dems on the Oversight Committee. Marjorie Taylor Greene was there.

Here's what happened: 🧵

Attn DC runners/cyclists/others I guess! A brand new road opened south of the Lincoln which restores access to the tidal basin while Ohio drive is closed! Woooo
