I think that’s likely. They’re getting absolutely destroyed by their Constituents right now. Turns out people don’t love the platform of kissing Trump’s ass at the cost of everything else.

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

The only thing we can ‘do’ to stop this is mass, sustained protests. I’m talking protests that are big enough to impact the economy. Folks who aren’t on political social media don’t think it’s bad enough for that yet, though, and I honestly question whether we have the attention span for it at all.

I think Vance taking over is actually best case scenario (other than a meteor…). The GOP doesn’t respect him. There’s no cult like following. They don’t fear him, etc. Vance would likely have an extremely milquetoast presidency.

A metric fuck ton. All those ‘Russian businessmen’ were almost certainly walking surveillance devices. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we eventually find concealed micro cameras, listening devices, etc. There’s so much important technology in Alaska - early warning, missile defense, etc.

I don’t think it will completely sink them, but I do think they’re going to pay for this severely in the midterms. There’s a reason they’re trying to rig the House vote by gerrymandering Texas even more - they’re terrified.

Best case scenario would be diplomacy and Iran destroying their own nuclear program Most likely scenario is probably us bombing Iran with Israel I worry about that, because Iran undoubtedly has sleeper agents (or at least sympathizers) in the US, and we’re vulnerable to a Spidewerweb style attack

On the current trajectory, I think we will have a strong majority in the House. Normal caveats apply - no getting complacent. The Senate isn’t *impossible* but it’s a tougher get for midterms. It would have to be a catastrophic election for the GOP to lose the Senate. But that should be our goal.

Of all the things that didn’t happen, this didn’t happen the most. TACO Trump chickened out because bond yields went vertical and he was about to destroy the US economy - not China’s. China found other trading partners to help insulate from Trump’s insanity - we haven’t.

DOGE wanting to merge federal databases is pretty shocking - and completely irresponsible. The White House saying they didn’t know Hegseth ordered Ukraine aid frozen was pretty shocking. Trump saying he didn’t know if he had to uphold the Constitution wasn’t shocking, but *was* disgusting.

I’ve thought about this several times. I fear that it’s only a matter of time before there’s a ‘stand your ground’ scenario in these arrests. It would be hard to convict them, too - these arrests look a lot more like kidnapping than law enforcement activity.

1. With the illegal OMB order, we saw that mass outrage worked. The condemnation was swift, and it came from everywhere, and the administration backed down. Stay active - use your voice. 2. Be prepared to protest if it gets to that point. 3. Prepare for state/local elections. It all starts there.

First and foremost, we have to remember that we can’t - and shouldn’t - resist everything. Pick your battles to make it meaningful. That said, when it’s time to protest, we need them to be MASSIVE. Read banned books. Prepare for the midterms. Don’t let Congress off the hook - email your reps.
