🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy.
I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...
A helpfully clear exchange here
Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028."
Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"
😳
WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?
TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with?
REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations
TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?
❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this.
Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.
This proves only two things.
The Ukrainian campaign against Russian refineries is causing serious damage.
Putin has asked Trump to help him out and the US president obliged.

What makes you think that if you push this idea (4 more SCOTUS judges) NOW, that the repugnant Republicans will not say, “Hey great idea!” and they put four more sycophants on BEFORE the Orange Felon/Fascist/Fraud/Fool leaves office? First get the Senate. Then you can do this…
I’m not sure how to convey this succinctly to legacy media who continues to go to Manchin for his opinion. But let me try:
No one, and I mean no one, gives a fuck what Joe Manchin thinks about anything.
Take this to the bank: if Trump Always Chickens Out (True): Republicans Inevitably Chicken Out (Also True). Collins, Tillis, Cornyn, MTG… on and on. TACO/RICO…
Rep. Ogles: "Muslims don’t belong in American society,"
Rep. Fine on "mainstream Muslims": "I think you should destroy them first"
Sen. Tuberville: "The enemy is inside the gates".
Rep. Roy posted "No more Muslims" on his social media.
None of them censured by Democrats. No penalty.
For gods sake… the 25th amendment requires the acquiescence of people who were issued knee pads as required kit for their office! Including the 2 people who were 86’d from office! An unrelenting push for impeachment is our only hope Obewan!
Today I wrote about Lockjaw Bovino getting canned and how, perhaps, we're beginning to see that the Regime is not immune to popular and political gravity.
But I also wrote about how not much else has changed and how we have to keep fucking punching them. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...
