Misreading the moment on the MAGA CR ... --

 

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I don’t buy the narrative that Trump & President Musk actually WANT a shutdown. If that was the truth, they would’ve put forth an even worse bill that would 100% guarantee zero Dem votes. What they did was propose a bill that green-lights DOGE & Elon’s billionaire takeover by omitting guardrails.

How badly do you have to fuck up being the Democratic leader that Trump is praising and congratulating you????

“Republicans did not involve us Senate Democrats in drafting the continuing resolution in any way whatsoever. Therefore the best way to bring them to the table to negotiate is by voting for it.”

... while "Thelma and Louise" take us over the cliff --

 

Beshear: Between Trump and Musk. I'm not sure which one is Thelma and which one is Louise, but our economy is that car and they are driving it off the cliff.

What's that Musk-y smell?  Bimbo Bondi issuing threats in order to protect President Musk's investments --

 

You heard Trump’s attorney general — if you visit a Tesla dealership, she will prosecute you. Be safe! Shop somewhere else.

It's pretty wild to see what the Tesla Takedown people have built from nothing, totally organically in just two months. actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

Taking care of yourselves --

 

Essential Reading "Trumpism isn’t just a political ideology. It is a psychological operation designed to exhaust, confuse, and demoralize. If we don’t tend to our nervous systems, we burn out before we can resist. And that’s exactly what they want." substack.com/home/post/p-... #Resist
