Thanks Mike for this and you're 100% spot on, the Republicans are running scared which makes them even more dangerous and everyone knows they are definitely going to fuck with the mid-terms and in 2028.
This is one of the reasons Trump and Musk are trying to deep-six the distribution of the documentary on Musk. Trump needs Musk's "credibility" (does he have any left?) in order to electronically and financially interfere with the midterms and 2028.
I hate to admit that Schadenfreud is what I experience when people (voters, protesters, judges, Carney) disappoint him. I don't have any qualms about seeing his lunacy stop
Thank you Mike. Very well said. We need to push through the finish line. We need to vote and bring our family and friends to vote as well. We owe it to ourselves and our country to take it back and get it back on track to better days.
Thank you, Mike, for your pep talk! Again you have focused on the problems and the proper course of action! Let us be dangerous - in the name of Democracy!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts in your post. I can relate to what you're saying and have had a few of those thoughts crossed my mind as well. Getting out and voting for the midterms is definitely the best way to regain accountability and get some credibility back to the presidency and the Senate and Congress.
What I'm scared about is the conflict between the Progressive and Center Left. When the centrists call the progressives socialists, they are doing the Right's job for them. People may not vote period for the progressive or centrist candidate. In other words, they may not vote period because they figure the Dems will win anyway. The centrists and progressives have to get their act together and present a united front. If we do win, they will have to work together anyway.
A great reminder: we control the consequences. When we vote, when we call our representative and let them know that we expect them to abide by their Constitutional obligations, when we file lawsuits, and when we make our voices heard.
But, in places in America "polling" is showing tightening races between Democrats and Republicans. And in some Republicans taking the lead.... There is too much at stake to let this happen. The future of America is at stake everywhere across America with EVERY race. There can be no resting... Republicans are trying to bitch and whine about Democrats ignoring "fraud" when it is them that are screwing everyone in America with their allegiance to their King DonOLD and his Regime and their Playbook Project 2025 and their Enablers the Oligarchs and the Roberts 6. Get involved, vote, speak out and speak up, make sure everyone you know votes. And get yourself and your candidates and their campaigns some resources (along with money) for the fight like these - "How To Eat An Elephant: One Voter At A Time" by Sarah Longwell, "Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times (A Guide for all of Us): How to Reclaim Your Power, Fight for Freedom & Reimagine Democracy" by Skye Perryman, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy" by Gil Duran, "The Blind Spot: How Oligarchs Dominate Our Democracy" by Jeffrey Winters.......
Yes, Mike, schadenfreude is the perfect word for this news you are sharing. Things were extremely bad for trump and the republicans before; but after Maga Moses Mike GRINDR Johnson sent the House home, it got much worse. People are pissed about this happening again and not just democrat voters. According to Massie and Ro, they had the 218 votes to pass the Epstein Transparency Act II, and they also had the votes to impeach kegsbreath. Trump couldn't have either of those scenarios. So, Good News, but when you corner a rat(s), they will do anything to get out. I think the real problems may arise not at the polls but after. They are going to try to make sure that states do not certify the vote. Just curious, why does no one ever talk about the races in Illinois?

Thank you Mike. We have it this time I hope. I know what waking up to whatever fresh hell Trump did over the night feels like.
He’s getting desperate and he’s not to be trusted.
They should have impeached Hegseth this week. Mike Johnson is absolutely awful for several reasons.
as long as Musk is around and playing games with the counting, we arent secure

This is the very best commentary I've heard this week . Thank you Mike!
Thank you, Mike. I share all your concerns!
The corruption is precedented. Dems have been doing it too, maybe not so blatently. Get off the Uniparty bandwagon.

Why are so many in fear!
an old acronym for fear: face everything and run to the ballot box.
