We need to stop kidding ourselves. America is no longer a two party democracy. It has become a Monarchy with one opposition party. It's the Kingdom of Trump vs the Democratic Party. From now until 2028 we need to keep fighting for our freedoms, equal rights and human decency against the forces of a fascist monarchy. We were here in 1776 and in 1860. Hopefully we won't need a shooting war to undo the Monarchy. Hopefully, public humiliation will shame America back to its senses.

See you in September in DC.

Congress returns. There are many issues we can use to convince a few Congressional Republicans. Brian Fitzpatrick is a case study.

Pressure them directly, their donors, families, social friends etc. Picket. Sit in.

Proportionally 4 x more crime in MAGA Mike's home town than in DC. Memphis is the most crimeridden city in the US. Jackson, Mississippi! Bessemer, AL!

Interview the National Guardsmen. Odds are more crime at home.

The way I see it, the invasion of one state by another is a call to arms. I see an armed clash of National Guards. Also, the gerrymander fight is on. There is a new playbook. The old rules have been struck down by the Supreme Court. We need to change the gears here as fast as possible for deadly preemptive strikes. Newsom has moved out on this already. Who is next? Hochul. Where are you? Pritzker. What are you doing?

I like that Jen is interviewing these legislators from Texas by her doing so it brings the spotlight on what’s really happening there. Paul Krugman is possibly the best to talk about the MAGA economy. As always so many great columns today!
