Hochul seems to have only shelved the congestion-pricing plan to try to woo GOPers and other annoying Lawn Guylanders to vote Democratic. It may have helped Suozzi (spit) and Gillen flip their House races even though Lawn Guyland did, overall, vote Trumpianly. She made it pretty obvious that she had done it for political reasons by announcing its reinstatement like 12 seconds after the election was over.
One of the things that the Dems immediately need to start messaging is THERE IS NO LANDSLIDE in the election results. I've seen nothing but nonsense regarding "mandate" from the election - PAB barely won the vote and if you count the third party + Dem votes he got under 50% - so a minority of voters put him back in office.
They also need to do a thorough analysis on how to reach the increasingly emotionally based voter with a media blitz that starts now in the places these people go for their info - say having Mayor Pete on Rogan's show on a monthly basis to start driving home the message we need to have in place when the mid-terms come around. We need to start calling out PAB and his clown show cabinet as weak ass bitches because they are afraid of upsetting Putin and full of idiots. We also need to rewrite the messaging on expertise being equivalent to "elites" - the current crop of "elites" are snake oil salesmen like FElon, who feed at the government trough while complaining about woke socialists.
Yes, please kick all of the 'leftsist elite west coast' out of you brave new cult experiment. No, seriously I beg you throw us and all that money supporting your red states out and away!
Then I humbly suggest we western states form a more perfect union as the new nation of Cascadia! (Hawaii can come too but if they want to become their own nation again, we could recognize them as such and form an alliance)
MAGA, Run of the mill NAZIs,The Republican Party, ANYONE who voted for Trump, anti-vaxxers,right-to-life-people - these are the people your mother warned you about. The rest of us are not safe. And this doesn't include all the insane people with guns. We are out numbered - the USA may was well be THE WALKING DEAD COUNTRY.
Wait! I’m one of the people Mom warned me about. I remember her words exactly. “Stay away from musicians and don’t smoke any cigarettes without a manufacturing stamp on it.”
1000 days after the illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia, maybe Democratic leaders and anybody with morals should take a leaf out of the soldiers of Snake Island's book.

"craft laws and policies that protect the rule of law and serve the people of our great states.”
What these governors fail to understand that to the RINOs the person on the street -- especially in blue states -- is equivalent to the steaming pile of dogshit they just stepped in.

"Officially, it’s nonpartisan, although when asked on a press call about the potential involvement of any Republican governors, Pritzker said the group has had “good conversations” with some Republicans he declined to name, possibly to protect them from their own voters."
How many of the Repub governors were just paying lip service? An extremely high percentage of R govs are RINOs/MAGA, there are very few -- if any -- TradRepubs in the governors' offices in red states; the MAGA (bowel) movement has made a concerted effort to force TradRepubs out.

"shoring up California laws and policies that may be threatened by Trump and the Republican trifecta"
*May* be threatened? It's a cinch that the asshats in Congress and the WH will do anything to prevent protections for LGBTQIA+, POCs, and everyone else on their "less than human" lists; even if it means trampling on states' rights and ignoring the 10th Amendment (in blue states only, red states already are aware of what it takes for proper governing in the New America).
-----
"But if California behaves, Trump will reward California with water from Canada’s Giant Faucet"
There will be no rewards for CA as long as it's a deep blue state. Maybe the Sociopathic Marigold Swamp Monster will think about it (but not for long since thinking hurts his brain), but not until after the state gets with the program and sweeps up all the tinder in its forests and installs a sprinkler system to keep the ground moist.

"Washington’s ... Governor-elect Bob Ferguson ... says his staff has spent months getting ready for a possible Trump presidential win, just in case. Similarly, Massachusetts AG Andrea Campbell said that she and other Democratic AGs are “on the front lines to protect our fundamental rights and freedoms” from whatever Trump and company might throw at blue states.
In New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul says she and AG Letitia James are working to “protect the fundamental freedoms of New Yorkers” like the state’s protections for reproductive freedom and its gun safety laws.""
Still, the RINOs think that they can dole out, in small drips, the freedoms they took from us in the first place as rewards for being good little drones. It is important to remember

i am DEFINITELY hearing that message on all my libcasts.
I got out my cap and wore it to all my post election gatherings.
national divorce?...yes, it's def way past time for blue states to secede from whatever they're calling this shithole formerly known as 'murrika
And here I thought they were all about ‘states’ rights’ 🤔
Ta, Dok. I like living in Gotham City., or is it Metropolis? I don't want it to become Dystopia.
Gormenghast, maybe?

CASCADIA FOREVER! Leave the Sodom to the east to Roy in their harted.
Yeah, but they’ll play by the rules and lose.

Mom was quaint.
If MTG wants to leave the country, she’s free to go anytime.
1000 days after the illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia, maybe Democratic leaders and anybody with morals should take a leaf out of the soldiers of Snake Island's book.
Donald Trump, go fuck yourself.
Good luck with that...the Bloated Yam will just add to his "protective custody" list....
Yes, let's divorce MTJ, I'm taking the FEMA $$$ with me.
It's our money, after all.
