Think of the movements that came under attack by the Democratic center leading up to and after the November loss: anti-monopoly, immigration, trans rights, Palestine, the ACLU. Then look at where Trump has picked his battles in his first 9 months in office.

It’s the exact opposite. Brazil followed the rule of law. The US abandoned the rule of law by allowing Trump to go unpunished for inciting an insurrection, something Rubio himself called a ‘national embarrassment’ and ‘anarchy’. at the time.
.@SecRubio: "With the sentencing of former Brazilian President Bolsonaro, it is clear that the rule of law is breaking down in Brazil."

We have now lost herd immunity. Decades of scientific progress and advocacy undone because of misinformation and willful neglect.
SPECIAL REPORT: A large swath of the U.S. currently does not have the basic, ground-level immunity necessary to stop the spread of viruses that had once receded into the past, a six-month NBC News investigation in collaboration with scientists at Stanford University finds. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

Five executive teams control 90% of American media. Many are following the federal government’s lead to determine what we can & can’t say.

HUGE catch w/ this headline: while all 7 focus group Latinos regretted voting for Trump, not a SINGLE one would vote for Harris in a rerun.
Anti-Trump backlash alone simply is NOT gonna cut it. Dems NEED to change their message & stances if they want to win back nonwhite voters.
NEW: In a recent focus group of Latino Trump voters, ever single one said they regretted their vote

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
As the article itself notes, the seven voters were selected for having since regretted their votes for Trump. Therefore presenting this as a representative sample is misleading.

The discourse around Charlie Kirk is yet another reminder that the whole entire conservative model relies on 35-year-old men debating inexperienced college students.
I remember 2019, when Ben Shapiro faced the indignity of having to go up against Andrew Neil, an experienced professional, and he got destroyed. He lashed out. He called a renowned conservative broadcaster a “leftist.” Because when forced to go up against someone who was on his level, he found that he actually *couldn’t* defend his ideas quite so well when they were placed under scrutiny.
This is the core, fundamental fraudulence that lies at the heart of the American conservative movement: they can’t truly defend their sick and depraved ideas unless they’re playing the game on easy mode.

No the fight doesn't get pushed to 2026 which means yet another budget crisis next year. The Democrats need to hold the line right now. Republican districts cannot function without our taxes. Shapiro needs to stop being a pussy to look like Mr Bipartisan always selling out Philly

Incredible that PA Republicans and Governor Shapiro are letting SEPTA rot, all while it will be on full display for international guests next year. Man wants to be president but can't get money for the biggest transit agency in his state?

This is akin to liquidating a sizable portion of your retirement to keep the lights on. It is not a solution to anything, even if it’s preferable to the deep service cuts we were facing. We MUST get a permanent funding solution in this budget!

Tragically, it appears that @GovernorShapiro has capitulated and allowed transit to be put off to next year once again. I was hoping he would dig in and make it mandatory to backfill the funding, not say "it's been taken off the table, let's get a budget". Shame.

Since Elon Musk revealed that Jeffrey Epstein's pedo bro, Trump, is featured throughout the Epstein files, now seems like as good a time as any to revisit Katie Johnson's statement about Trump raping her in 1994 when she was 13-years-old. 🥹👇

I truly wish somebody would ask Shapiro what tough decisions the Democrats need to make
Governor Shapiro said he has more talks with legislative leaders Tuesday to try to reach an elusive state budget deal that includes mass transit.
