Trump rolled out the red carpet for a dictator on U.S. soil last week. Then, echoing Putin, he threatened mail-in ballots. Now he's musing about starting wars to postpone future elections.

Release the un-redacted Epstein files, now.
I look forward to your fundraising emails
Hey guys there's like troops in DC and they're holding Nicole hostage in Texas
You gonna do anything about it?
Starting a war won't postpone elections. This is not a power the presidency has. The office has no authority to postpone or cancel elections, even during wartime. Please stop spreading false information to get people upset. We're upset already. No need to lean into the garbage he makes up.
He also cannot unilaterally end mail-in voting with an EO. Voting is governed by state law. And that's not how EOs work. He can write all he wants, try all he wants, but it will not stop elections.
He CAN influence state admins to ignore the ballots. Maybe focus on that? If an official account is going to lean into the fact that people don't know their civics, what hope have we got?
It's because during his meeting with Zelenskyy he seemed to pick up on the fact that Ukraine doesn't have elections due to the war with Russia.
I hear ya. My problem is with the official Democratic party account leaning into the lies for the fear factor.
Currently what Trump is doing ✅ but needs more 🔥

Yes. We know. What are you doing about that besides a strongly worded letter?
Pathetic response. You should be leading protests in person in DC everytime a new roadblock is set up. Stop whining.
I'm sure we'd all appreciate a quick list of the undoubtedly many decisive and inspirational actions you are taking to deal with these and other issues
Hey Democrats, who's going to do something about it?
And you're doing jack shit about it
You know this reads like you’re sitting shellshocked in a corner, still trying to process what’s happening, right? Maybe try giving us a sense you have a plan to deal with this besides asking for donations? Might be nice to get a sense you’re rising to the moment.
… and? What are you gonna do about it?
Are you a news organization now? Oh wait that's what MSNBC is calling themselves. You're just a meme.
I was going to tell you not to use the passive voice but then I realized it's a good reflection of your actions. Are you guys going to help bring more attention to your fellow Democrat locked in the TX state house? Endorse your fellow Democrat in NYC? Anything to show solidarity and a direction?
Where did they use passive voice in this post
Grammar wise, no it's not passive voice. However, the tone is rather passive in that it's "Hey look what this guy is doing!" and then kind of crickets except for the occasional stand by someone who often gets shot down by leadership for doing it and fundraising texts or emails.
Yeah, it's a passive tone and not an according-to-Hoyle "passive voice."
You're right but still this is fucked up. bsky.app/profile/phil...
True!

So what is basically illegal search & seizure of a TX congress person doesn't deserve a small note?
Sure, re-posting Jasmin is great, she's actually fighting. Overall org, not so much
It's a BlueSky account.
Are you a fucking political party or do you just deliver the news?
Why are Democrats so feckless????
Go on. . .
We don’t need scribes just documenting what is happening. We need people with a plan. Get the fuck to work.
Yeah we saw. Now, if you meet anyone with a spine who will do literally anything about it, you let us know.
it's working ... people are NOT on Epstein subject keep posting photos/videos of duo-pedos
And instead of getting in the streets and getting out the vote, fake Dem trolls will blame democrats. We see you and we know you. Give it up.
Yeah, we know. We follow the news too. It’s too bad there’s no one in power positions who can do anything about some of it. Maybe vote to help confirm some more Nazis, as appeasement? Scream BIPARTISANSHIP louder? Idk, let us know if ya got anything else up your sleeve, ok.
WE KNOW. What are you doing about it??
“Musing” is a bizarrely weak way to frame what is happening. Let’s not cutesy up a fascist take over of the United States?
So is y'all's plan to continue to hope he just goes away?
Hey, thank you for letting us know about Trump's abuses. We weren't aware and wouldn't have known otherwise. Can you tell us, is there an opposition party who is actively fighting against said abuses? Because it doesn't seem like there is...
There is no reason to postpone any election. Lincoln was elected in the middle of a war fought ON U.S. SOIL!
Are you reporters now? We fucking know already. What are you feckless shits doing about it?
Perhaps the Democrats can write a strongly worded letter or hold up performative paddles or something. Every day we are told how awful he is. At what point will Democrats unify and get him out of office? 212 house Dems could have and should have voted for impeachment. But didn't.
Democratic lawmakers are being imprisoned in Texas. Where is her help? We will send y'all home March 2026. Collaborators with Authoritarians.
Do you know what the word “muse” means?
Meanwhile, in Texas. bsky.app/profile/phil...
and WTF are you gonna do about it you fucking useless cowards? tweet harder?
Everything the FBI and DOJ have on Epstein ia600705.us.archive.org/21/items/eps...
You think we don’t know this? WTF are you DOING ABOUT IT? Grow a spine.
What’s your plan? I did all the homework plus extra credit to make sure this shit didn’t happen. Now what? We need leadership not someone behind a screen posting non-inspirational, and frankly, irritating posts about your non plan of action.
And then what
This is why we have the second amendment; to overthrow tyrants who defile our democracy.
Open letter to Trump and his traitorous republican legislature and cabinet: How dare you call yourselves Americans! How dare you say you stand for justice! How dare you go after hardworking, non-criminal migrants and disappear them! How dare you go after fair elections! Losers all of you!!!

And other than asking for money, what’s the plan?

"Trump is batshit insane and doing batshit insane things. But we're going to softpedal it and phrase it in semi-rational terms because we're afraid of alienating people who will never vote for us anyway." Get a fucking spine.
We know. What are you doing?
What can they do?
So how about you do your job as an opposition party and actually stop him instead of going on tv to make up lies about a member of your own party who won a primary while brown.
I think it might be helpful to tell you that you should be tailoring your content for *this* platform. Everyone here interested in your account already knows this. If you don't want to get yelled at by lefty news junkies on bluesky, post what you're doing about this. Stop reporting the news.
And by lefty news junkies, I mean everyone. Everyone here is in this category. You have to message to THIS audience, not a generic audience, and certainly not the same audience as on Twitter.
Mad Mother analysis! open.substack.com/pub/madmothe...
We read the damn news. Maybe the Democratic Party could make some news by doing something
He got this taking points when he rolled out the red carpet for his boss. THE MADNESS STOPS WHEN WE ALL STAND UP AND SAY NO!! #PutinsgothishandupDJTass #putinspuppet #RussianAsset #25thhisass
Many of us have said that this would be the way he would use to prolong his stay in power, and a spineless GOP will allow him this.
Then stop him.
And you all have your thumbs up your butts.
It’s tempting to just sit back and cheer it all on, since no one seems intent on doing fuck-all to stop it
Too bad @schumer.senate.gov is a complete coward.
And yall won’t support your candidate in NYC. Same ol.
DNC does not get involved in mayoral races
The fuck they don't.
Which ones did they get involved in
Literally Mamdani's race. Btw despite the misleading title, this is literally the DNC head trying to distance the party from Mamdani and reduce his influence, without sounding like they're actively sabotaging him. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...
There's no evidence for your assertion in that article The DNC chair was interviewed and explicitly said the Democratic Party should include Mamdani In any case, a DNC chair being interviewed does not constitute DNC endorsement or non-endorsement
Also literally from the DNC themselves: democrats.org/news/six-mon...
Good point but these are facilitated by state Dem parties with DNC support, not directly by the DNC. This is also a new initiative by Martin It is unlikely that Mamdani will require this sort of financial support. He's likely cruising to an easy victory
Then why are Democratic leaders not endorsing him? Instead, they spend their time going on tv to make up lies about him when they should be fighting Trump. If (hopefully WHEN) he wins the general election for NYC mayor, it’ll be despite the Dems, not with them.
You keep stretching and avoiding the point. I refuse to continue a discussion with someone with a fake name and fake avatar. Good day.
You should probably do something about your party member being held hostage in a Texas congress building instead of fundraising? Losers.
And you try to find ways to work WITH him rather than stand up and OPPOSE him. You've got my vote because what other choice do I have. But you haven't earned my support or my respect.
they're holding a party member hostage and deploying military to the cities, what are you doing about it?
Democratic member of the Texas legislature is being held against their will ... Perhaps that's more important to fight in the short term. 🙄
And you do nothing.
Because the moron doesn’t realize that the constitution of Ukraine mandates that elections are postponed during wars, while ours does not.
"musing" ain't even code for "leaking intent"
