I like both McMorrow and Stevens. El-Sayed strikes me as basically another Bernie — somebody who delights in needling the other side by staking out positions that grab headlines and appeal to the leftiest of the lefty base, while McMorrow and Stevens both know how to talk to a wide range of people and actually, y'know, govern.
I'm a lot more worried about Mike Duggan's vanity campaign for governor siphoning enough votes from Jocelyn Benson that we end up with whatever bugfuck insane dipshit the Republicans nominate.
I’m going with Al-Sayed. He hasn’t taken any AIPac $$, and isn’t pussy-footing around with healthcare, taxing the rich, being a true democratic leader. McMorrow (who will probably win), is more of the same, & took over $100,000 from AIPac.
Ideally after folks get softened up in the primary, everyone will coalesce around the winner and remember to row in the same direction.
Keep a look out, folks, for any hot primary action in your area too. And remember there's the big prize for 2026...getting Congress to change hands so that there can be a *modicum* of a check on Maladministration 2.0!
So jump your voter suppression hoops NOW. Get your ID, whatever it takes to make sure you're an ACTIVE voter.
My Driver's License renews this summer. I am already gathering documents -- approaching Epstein Files volume -- to convince them I'm the same person I was last time. I will, indeed, mount up and "forge" ahead!
Given that Israel has created a million new refugees in Lenanon, I'd have thought the EU would be more concerned given their "problem" with "boat people."
Congress has nothing to do with "invoking" the 25th, or have I misunderstood? It's the cabinet and couchfucker. Then if Trump claims nunh-unh I am too a stable genius not a doddering three-diaper-a-day dementia ward escapee, Congress gets involved, 2/3 of both houses to make it stick.
Why do Democrats talk like this? 25th and impeachment, while not impossible, are so improbable that they have nothing to do with actual resistance to Republicans, fascism or Trump. They would be largely Republican actions in any case, where they only work if the Republican party radically changes course. For Democrats they are fantasies of the powerless. For that matter, so are the hopes pinned on taking the House, maybe the Senate this year. It's necessary, yes, helpful, yes, but changes little regarding power, which is what the fascists have and we don't. We get that power if we win the presidency and keep Congress 2028, and not until then. Then what we do if we get power is another question, but I'm trying to keep a little chink of optimism unblocked here so let's not go there.
First, before valiant hope and stubborn optimism, cold reality.
Oh and also, take another look at power we do have. Blue states and cities, consumers, the example of Minneapolis. Things still unspoken of, like setting up alternative companies and economic solutions of all kinds. Remember that one plausible scenario is that the fascists hang on to power Orban style for 25 years. What's the plan then? Yeah, maybe that should be our plan now.
She’d turn 65 in 2029 and if re-elected 72, when she leaves office.
Age clearly matters regarding being president.
We need younger candidates.
Plus, I don’t think she brings anything new to the table compared with 2020 and 2024. She doesn’t represent change. 2028 is going to be about needing dramatic changes.
Oh, honey, I have six t-shirts with your image and name, but no, please don't run again. As long as America is a racist and misogynist country, you will not have a chance in hell to become president. I just cannot take the heartbreak anymore.
Pete Buttigieg has a better chance of winning the nomination than you do. Stay home in Cali, continue with your PAC, and enjoy speaking on voting rights and getting the vote out for Democratic candidates.
And double apologies to Walz after HE was blamed in part for her loss. Tim Fucking Kaine was, IMO, a mistake by the Clinton campaign but I don't remember anyone pointing out that he was a deadweight in that election.
Motherfucker ran off to become French and live in a nice big estate in the French countryside, and was popping up in my headlines scolding Americans for something.
Sorry, didn't read it. Not giving his name the clicks.
Me: I think people should be way more concerned with stopping Trump from running for an illegal third term than stopping Kamala Harris from running again.
Michigan sounds like a lot of great choices, frankly. Now can someone do something about the fucking Mainers (esp. apparently young Mainers) who won't give up on their Nazi-curious candidate, who is going to be a fucking millstone around every Dem in the country?
Also, Michelle Obama wears a sleeveless dress and tells kids to eat healthy. Media freaks the fuck out.
Dr Jill Biden wears patterned lace stockings (incorrectly referred to as fishnets). Media freaks the fuck out.
Melania did softcore porn and was besties with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Holds a bizarre presser saying Nuh uh. Media: Hmm…that was peculiar. Anyway, moving on. No further questions.
"Why have you not publicly denounced Donald Trump? In the past 7 days he has sanctioned genocide, threatened the Pope, and published a snuff film! All in one week!
How can you be OK with that, unless you approve of genocide, you approve of threatening religious leaders, and you approve of snuff porn.
Your silence makes you complicit. You disgust me.
Either stand up to this miserable excuse for a president, or resign."
I doubt it'll do any good except to maybe lower my BP a little bit.
No Dems voted for the OBBBA, as far as I am aware.
No Dems publicly supported DOGE, as far as I am aware.
No Dems came out in favor of Liberation Day, on April 2, 2025, when slapped tariffs on the rest of the world, including penguins.
I’m not sure how Schumer and Jeffries helped Trump wreck the economy. Trump did that on his own, without any help from Democrats.
I mean I get it. Schumer and Jeffries are spawned from Satan’s butthole, and Democrats can never do anything right, and will always fail at everything all the time.
I just don’t see how they helped Trump wreck the economy.
There’s not a lot they can do, if they take control of Congress other than try to force investigations into Republican corruption, and be a brake on Trump’s unitary executive theory experiment.
It’s good to put the idea out, even if it’s a nonstarter. Trump being unfit to be president isn’t a controversial topic any longer, and needs to be in peoples’ minds.
It would be people acknowledging the truth that he is a batshit crazy authoritarian. Normal people hate this shit being normalized and are rightfully furious about it.
About the 25A. Only the Cabinet, and a majority of them, can exercise the 25A and remove The Homunculus. They are all his creatures, loyal only to him.
I don't give odds on it ever happening, even if Trump nukes Los Angeles or invades the Vatican to make himself Pope.
I think the point in context is that there will be no attempt at all to hold Trump to account. Nothing will be tried. Nothing will be said. They are focussed on the elections like vulgar politicians, surfing on the broken backs of the populace.
I don't dispute any of that, but if you want to sound literate while talking about Congress removing the President, the word you want to use is "impeachment".
This sorely needs to be put into perspective, because it seems like most media outlets have been making Piker out to be massively popular and influential on the Left while most people are like, "who?" The LastWeekTonight YouTube channel has 10.1 million subscribers. You haven't heard of him because he's not nearly as popular or influential as he's being made out to be.
I guess to be fair, he is one of the very few guys catering to the young, male, gamer audience who is vocally on the Left. So he's notable for that. Which is likely the only reason he's gotten prominent politicians on his show. But he's not on the level of Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shaprio, or countless other conservative counterparts.
OT: I have gotten absolutely nothing done so far today, which is both relieving and deeply shameful at the same time, so sort of a two steps forward, three steps back sort of situation.

Thanks for the that cogent explanation. Much appreciated.
It was a rant, sorry. But I did mean it. I should probably find a park bench I can stand on and vent when something like this bubbles up.
LOL! Well, it was a fine rant! And helpful food for thought.
They'd need Republican help to remove.
Patrick Webb on Bluesky: BREAKING: Kamala Harris confirms that she is thinking about running for president in 2028.
Thoughts?
https://bsky.app/profile/patrickwbb.bsky.social/post/3mj5sb47bps2c
She’d turn 65 in 2029 and if re-elected 72, when she leaves office.

Where the progressives at?
I'm meh on her running again -- I voted for her, but I was not happy about her reaction to Gaza. But that is why we have primaries.
Oh, honey, I have six t-shirts with your image and name, but no, please don't run again. As long as America is a racist and misogynist country, you will not have a chance in hell to become president. I just cannot take the heartbreak anymore.
Pete Buttigieg has a better chance of winning the nomination than you do. Stay home in Cali, continue with your PAC, and enjoy speaking on voting rights and getting the vote out for Democratic candidates.
I'd vote for her again in a heartbeat. And I feel like the Democrats owe her apology for the way she was treated up to and after the election.
And double apologies to Walz after HE was blamed in part for her loss. Tim Fucking Kaine was, IMO, a mistake by the Clinton campaign but I don't remember anyone pointing out that he was a deadweight in that election.
George Clooney needs a good butt-kicking, just sayin'.

Same here.

But what the fuck do I know?
https://bsky.app/profile/thesauruswrecks.bsky.social/post/3mj5zkidmss2r
Let her run, that is what primaries are for.
If fucking blows my mind that you can’t get the left to get their elbows up whenever Trump hints at running in 2028.
But if someone says Harris might run again in 2028 the left gets animated as fuck and says, “absolutely not!”
There’s something deeply deeply broken and wrong with that.
The question is how will a third Trump term be legally justified? The wording of the 22nd amendment is very clear on a two term limit.
Folks like Putin and Orban changed their constitutions so they could remain in power forever.
Edit: Republicans don’t have the votes to repeal the 22nd amendment even if they wanted to.
There's always the Supreme Court....
True, but Trump is just a symptom of how far to the right America has drifted. The left has to be ruthlessly calculating to even survive.
Purity ponies and paid Democratic consultants.
Michigan sounds like a lot of great choices, frankly. Now can someone do something about the fucking Mainers (esp. apparently young Mainers) who won't give up on their Nazi-curious candidate, who is going to be a fucking millstone around every Dem in the country?
This Nazi tattoo I got in Eastern Europe but I didn't know was a Nazi tattoo.
Maine gonna Maine.
I get strong Fetterman vibes out of that guy
He uses all the right words.
every day is hump day now
Murcs Law as it currently stands:
2014: a democratic president wears a tan suit - media meltdown lasting months rife with bad faith commentary
2024: a democratic president performs poorly at a debate one night - months of media meltdowns and hysteria and calls for resignation
2026: a corrupt, demented republican convicted felon president and probable pedophile posts a snuff film with racist intent - media crickets
Also, Michelle Obama wears a sleeveless dress and tells kids to eat healthy. Media freaks the fuck out.
Dr Jill Biden wears patterned lace stockings (incorrectly referred to as fishnets). Media freaks the fuck out.
Melania did softcore porn and was besties with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Holds a bizarre presser saying Nuh uh. Media: Hmm…that was peculiar. Anyway, moving on. No further questions.
I imagine there is literal panic in the newsrooms about how to handle that.
“keep doing what we always do?”
*yawns, stretches, looks at letters over bathroom mirror (I-O-K-I-Y-A-R)*
“yeaah that. Maybe I can get a 15 minute nap in the ADA stall.”
Don't forget he also threatened to commit atrocities on par with WWII, AND threatened the Pope, all in the same week.
And posted a snuff film.
How did I miss that?
Pete mentioned that in his original comment
It’s been a real humdinger of a week.
It's honestly infuriating *WE* are supposed to pretend this is all fucking normal.
Keep going to work when psychos are burning down your country
Oh, and he lost a war.
Look in the Epstein files . . .
Good grief. Threats of genocide, threatening the Pope, and snuff films. All in one week.
I just sent this to both of my (R) Senators:
"Why have you not publicly denounced Donald Trump? In the past 7 days he has sanctioned genocide, threatened the Pope, and published a snuff film! All in one week!
How can you be OK with that, unless you approve of genocide, you approve of threatening religious leaders, and you approve of snuff porn.
Your silence makes you complicit. You disgust me.
Either stand up to this miserable excuse for a president, or resign."
I doubt it'll do any good except to maybe lower my BP a little bit.
Hey, a slightly lower BP going into the weekend sounds pretty good!
But it's genuinely disturbing how little the Rethuglicans have to say about insanity.
Yeah but he didn't get a consensual blowjob from an intern, so *shrug*
Just stay on the yellow brick road . . .
Lets see (does some quick math with a pencil and counting paw toes) only 33 more months of trump left. Ha ha, I joke. That is a hellish eternity.
We gotta hobble him in the mid-terms or America is not gonna make it.
2026 went into the shitter with 2025 three days in when The Homunculus sent the military in to Eichmann Venezuela's prez and first lady.
THAT didn't even get the scrutiny it deserved
I. Just. Fucking. Can't.

Question: what should they be doing? Anything else?
There’s not a lot they can do, if they take control of Congress other than try to force investigations into Republican corruption, and be a brake on Trump’s unitary executive theory experiment.
So voting in Dems is basically an exercise in futility?
Wastes of space. Things are not going to go the way they think they will.
The 25th is a nonstarter.
It requires the Republican VP and the Republican cabinet to initiate proceedings.
WTF that has to do with Dems I have no idea.
It’s good to put the idea out, even if it’s a nonstarter. Trump being unfit to be president isn’t a controversial topic any longer, and needs to be in peoples’ minds.
Waste of time, seriously.
Dems could advocate for it, which could have some resonance with voters, although the cabinet would ignore it. By now most people know Trump is nuts.
It would be people acknowledging the truth that he is a batshit crazy authoritarian. Normal people hate this shit being normalized and are rightfully furious about it.
One would think. But nah, it's all about getting elected so they can do more of what they're doing now.
About the 25A. Only the Cabinet, and a majority of them, can exercise the 25A and remove The Homunculus. They are all his creatures, loyal only to him.
I don't give odds on it ever happening, even if Trump nukes Los Angeles or invades the Vatican to make himself Pope.
So... we just get to wait for him to die? There's literally NOTHING anyone else can do?
One Presidential election and there's no recourse? We're just fucked fucked?
Outside of impeachment, trial and removal? The Constitution has no other mechanisms for removing a President.
Just another reason we need to redo it. Especially when it's like we don't even have one anymore.
Until the Cabinet votes to invoke the 25 Amendment, Congress has nothing to do with it.
I think the point in context is that there will be no attempt at all to hold Trump to account. Nothing will be tried. Nothing will be said. They are focussed on the elections like vulgar politicians, surfing on the broken backs of the populace.
I don't dispute any of that, but if you want to sound literate while talking about Congress removing the President, the word you want to use is "impeachment".
Did you read the thread?

This sorely needs to be put into perspective, because it seems like most media outlets have been making Piker out to be massively popular and influential on the Left while most people are like, "who?" The LastWeekTonight YouTube channel has 10.1 million subscribers. You haven't heard of him because he's not nearly as popular or influential as he's being made out to be.
I had never heard the name until it was mentioned in tabs yesterday. But they say the followers are mostly young, which does not describe me, so 🤷♂️.
I guess to be fair, he is one of the very few guys catering to the young, male, gamer audience who is vocally on the Left. So he's notable for that. Which is likely the only reason he's gotten prominent politicians on his show. But he's not on the level of Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shaprio, or countless other conservative counterparts.

Not this one!
Well, of course not you. Don't be silly.
OT: I have gotten absolutely nothing done so far today, which is both relieving and deeply shameful at the same time, so sort of a two steps forward, three steps back sort of situation.
It's Friday. That is a 100% airtight excuse for not getting anything done.
