The very first priorities for any incoming Democratic admin has to be to expand the Supreme Court, add PR and DC as states, ban partisan gerrymandering, and increase the number of House seats. That allows you to start fixing the damage without it immediately crumbling.

One of my Supreme Court reform takes is they should be completely barred from taking any outside income (incl. publishing deals) and it should be particularly frowned upon, normatively, to be writing books. Memoirs are for writing after you retire, not five years into a lifetime appointment.

I've never seen such a disconnect between Dem elected/staff/consultants and actual Dem voters. The latter understand what's going on. The former are awash in right-wing brainrot, hence @schatz.bsky.social blaming COVID mitigation and BLM marches for the GOP's wanton destruction of public health.

 Brian Schatz @brianschatz · 21h This is worth reading. I agree it is impossible to justify the govt action then. In Hawaii during Covid, for a time, the bars were open and the schools were not. The smart response to this, however, isn’t to put someone in charge who will cause measles to make a comeback. Quote Sean T at RCP @SeanTrende · 22h The damage done by this is incalculable.

As a father of a kiddo with autism, the HHS developments are beyond horrifying. This is descriptive, not prescriptive or justifying. Brian Schatz @brianschatz · 21h I know what you meant and I’m glad this is a constructive exchange. I think what you are saying is important because I know people for whom Covid and the govt response seemed so kafakaesque as to reorient not just people’s partisan affiliations but everything else. @SeanTrende The damage done by this is incalculable.

The Devil Went Down To Georgia is the most American song ever written because in any other culture it would be a cautionary tale about hubris and meddling with dark powers but instead it’s about how this random fiddle player is so badass he beat the literal devil and then taunted him about it

And has any politician or commentator ever - as in EVER - opined that right wingers and conservatives should “reach out to” or “try to address the concerns of” liberals and progressives? Seriously, has that EVER happened? Why is it always us who need to “understand” them and never vice versa?
