While I'm not leaving Twitter (for professional and political reasons), I am going to try this site out for a while and see what's happening. Lots of folks that I follow in other places are now here.

In my overly long political career, I have never seen anything as substantively inexplicable or politically suicidal as Trump’s decision to sink the economy and raise prices immediately after being elected to improve the economy and lower prices. www.messageboxnews.com/p/trump-is-c...

Trump is Crashing the Economy ... And his Presidency

Raising prices when everyone is mad about high prices is pure political self-destruction

I believe that, despite the theoretically tricky politics of immigration, Democrats have a moral obligation to speak out against the illegal rendition of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

This is an argument we can win and here are my thoughts on how to win it: www.messageboxnews.com/p/how-dems-c...

Why Dems Shouldn't Be Afraid to Fight for Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Believe it or not, public opinion is on our side -- if we make the case aggressively

The economy is crashing, people's retirement accounts are being incinerated, recession fears are mounting, and Trump is at a golf tournament.

He could not give less of a shit about anyone other than himself.

The killings in Minnesota and ICE terrorizing American cities wouldn’t be possible without the acquiescence of John Thune, Mike Johnson, and the rest of the GOP.

Everyone, especially the media, has to stop letting them off the hook.

Stop Letting Republicans Off the Hook for the ICE Killings

The GOP has a choice: use their power to force change or own the chaos and the killings.

The press wonders why Trump won't release the Epstein files when he promised to do so. But the answer is obvious: Trump believes he is mentioned in the files in ways that are even more damaging than the blowback he is getting from MAGA. Here's why: www.messageboxnews.com/p/why-trumps...

Why Trump's Name is Almost Certainly in the Epstein Files

The most plausible explanation for Trump's approach to the Epstein files is fear

The Senate Republicans just passed one of the most morally odious, stupid pieces of legislation in history. It’s hard to overstate how much people hate this bill.

Here's something that has been bugging me this week. With his pardons and other actions, Donald Trump has shown that he is just as dangerous as we imagined. So, why are Democrats voting for the people who are going to implement his dangerous agenda? www.messageboxnews.com/p/why-are-de...

Why are Democrats Voting for Trump's Nominees?

If Trump's agenda is so dangerous, why endorse the people who will implement it.

Democrats have been debating how to handle next week's vote on a bill that funds ICE.

With today's shooting, that debate should be over. Standing up and using every iota of your limited power is not just the right thing to do; it’s the righteous thing to do.
