Aside from looking very puffy, sniffing a ton, and rambling off track even more than normal, Trump doesn’t look bad. He seems to be recovering well from whatever the White House was hiding.

Trump says that because he’s moving Space Command to “a locale called Huntsville, Alabama” which will *now* be forever known as “Rocket City.” He’s so powerful with these names, the bib from the marathon my dad ran there in the early 1980s has had this brand new nickname magically appear on it.

And gun violence actually *is* an emergency, unlike Trump's bullshit.
Mark Joseph Stern (@mjsdc.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Where I live, in D.C., the Trump administration just effectively repealed our gun laws by refusing to enforce restrictions on AR-15s and public carry. It's a two-way street, right? The next Democratic administration should declare a nationwide ban on assault weapons. It's an emergency, after all.

Impound ICE's funding and redirect the money toward mass refugee resettlement. Cut off federal funding to states with draconian abortion laws and use the money to build reproductive health clinics in those states instead. End oil and gas subsidies then funnel the money to green energy projects.

Other things the next Democratic president should claim a prerogative to do unilaterally: •establish Medicare for All •forgive all student loans •legalize weed •mandate nationwide non-partisan redistricting It's an emergency! And he's the duly elected commander-in-chief! That's how this works now.

This is exactly right! The Right’s core claim is that they represent an authentic, “real" America that is constantly being victimized, made to suffer under the yoke of leftist/liberal overreach, and therefore rightfully aggrieved. And too many Democrats/liberals look at that and go: “I agree.”
