Moving the Space Force HQ to Alabama? I hope Dems are keeping a list of all of the unnecessary and extraordinary spending being done by this administration. Repubs need to have their noses rubbed in the current mess when they try to choke Dems spending efforts to fix what’s being destroyed.

It’s the pivot after running on "Trump will be a dictator" to “now we’re looking for bipartisanship” and confirmation votes for some of the early though awful picks that had me reeling. The fact that btwn 6 nov - 21 jan they had decided on an opposition plan of passive resistance was stunning.

I really resonated with his comments. I thought they were fair, thoughtful. Dems have been slow to fight. Their early cries for bipartisanship were shocking to me. My own Senator Schiff voted to confirm Rubio. The collective refusal to endorse Mamdani is problematic. Ali was spot in this context.

He regularly highlighted Biden’s accomplishments. This is simply not true. (It feels like many of these commentators don’t watch the show so they don’t know.) There’s an authoritarian in the WH but y’all are bashing the guy who’s thoughtfully encouraging dems to fight or get out of the way.
lafourchette (@lafourchette.bsky.social) reply parent
He does. On a regular basis. Perhaps you’re not aware of this so you’ve taken his comments out of context.

And I may be incorrect about this, but it appears the down ballot folks running for/winning these special elections appear to be fighters. I’m not sure why Harrison got so defensive about this. It’s a worrying problem for dems. I’ve called out many of them for their quite shocking passivity.

Agreed. Jeffries’ statements feel very one dimensional. He’s lacking the ability to clearly synthesize multiple levels of information in his messaging. Perhaps not him. Perhaps he’s being influenced to be overly simplistic. Whatever it is, I wish he’d unplug. We need more of what Pritzker did.

The rapid fascist takeover was outlined in Project 2025. I wish Dem leaders could clearly state that both things can be true: trump is accelerating his fascist takeover *and* it currently serves as a distraction from the focus on the Epstein files.

I don’t understand the Maxwell interview. Not credible when we have open reporting that Bondi had people assigned to comb through the Epstein files for Trump’s name; Trump was alerted to the results (yes, his name appeared many times) which caused the DOJ to shut down the release of the files.
