No help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops. Simple. Clean. Clear. Effective.

Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

Trump went from virtue signaling like he's anti-war to bragging about bombing Yemen and Somalia, plotting war with Iran and Mexico, and openly saying he's gonna steal Greenland and Panama. Trump is such a bloodthirsty warmongering imperialist psychopath he makes Dick Cheney look like Noam Chomsky.

When will people learn to stop trusting and/or idolizing billionaires?

Social Security is the largest source of income for most beneficiaries — and it keeps 22 million people out of poverty. Meanwhile, Trump’s billionaire Commerce Secretary says that seniors won’t care if they don’t receive their benefits. Government for the rich, by the rich.

Guess which one is actually better for our future? Hint: it’s not the one funded by Silicon Valley bros.

So we’ve got two competing schools of what the Democratic Party should do next. One of them is hosting the largest political rallies in history in places like New Hampshire and Arizona, and the other one just got $120 million from Silicon Valley and is on a book tour.

I really never understood anyone who isn’t white, straight and male voted for Trump, but ESPECIALLY immigrant communities because it was OBVIOUS he was coming straight for their throats.

I can’t get over Cuban-Americans who voted for the orange felon now seeing in real time that he’s stripping legal status from them and their families. Enjoy your vote.

Not a competition I wanted to win.

Every Irish person who has complained to me about Irish politics has immediately followed it up with “of course I know it’s nothing compared with what you’re dealing with…”

This really is just so disappointing, on so many levels.

SCOOP: Sarah McBride and other Dems have discussed how the party must accept Ds with differing stances on trans rights to not alienate people “We have to create more space in our tent,” she told me An inside look at Dems’ reshuffling on trans issues: www.notus.org/congress/tra...

It's nearly impossible to keep up with the dozens of legal challenges to Trump's early actions. But many have been led by the same group. A closer look at Democracy Forward, the progressive legal group that keeps taking on Trump in the courts -- and winning. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

There is an old fear that when we develop super intelligent AI (not LLMs like we have now) that it will be able to figure out how to deceive us into destroying ourselves. We apparently don’t need a super intelligent AI… we are good at it on our own. 😩

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.  It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

We're seeing A TON of enthusiasm for the #teslatakedown GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION. We're going to start highlighting showrooms that need a host. If you know someone near any of these locations, will you reach out and encourage them to host an action? We'll even have trainings next week for new hosts! 🧵

Seems like people hate the oligarchs… 😈
