Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Good morning.
DOGE is fake and not a real agency.
Please quit pretending it’s real
The only thing Republicans have to offer America is a heaping helping of ignorant vitriol with a swirl of conspiracy thinking.
And we have to clearly show the people who think politics are still the way they were that this is the case. Offering a responsible alternative and then seeing them balk at it is one way to do that. Remember, not everyone is as politically literate as the TAFM crowd.
Ummmmm, that actually says a lot. As does the word “process” that you used several times in your essay, TC. As is the lack of process being the negligent factor with people such as MT Greene and Mace and the FL congressman (I am loathe to even say his name) who put defused grenades in with his appreciative letter to his colleagues as he boasts of being assigned to the Armed Services committee. As an educator of children in public education for decades, an informed teacher knows there is not ro…
You and TC are both on a roll today. I like the idea of the Commission, we could even name it after Manchin if the idea works and call it the Manchin Memorial Commission if it doesn't. I feel old when I remember the "Repeal and Replace" campaign the GOP ran on after ACA was passed and how, when they got into position to implement it, they had nothing to go with. I'll feel better when Biden proposes the Commission, removal of the cap on OASDI tax, and legislation to provide legal residency for …
Yes, removal of the cap on the OASDI tax. So many have no idea the cap exists. This needs to be messaged ! I just call it the cap on Social Security.I mention how million/billionaires may only pay it for a week or two while you must pay throughout the year….and ask “ Does that seem fair?”
Exactly. According to the IRS, even with annual adjustments, over 50% of reported income isn't subject to the tax. If the cap was removed and the current benefit structure maintained, an additional $200 billion would accrue to the Trust Fund every year.
