The Five Stages Of MAGA Grief As MAGA voters turn on Trump, they’re reckoning with loss in a classic, recognizable pattern

As with anyone who leaves a cult, many former MAGA are undergoing a sort of deprogramming and, in the process, are working through all the classic stages of grief. Get out the popcorn! 🍿

Democrats: Don’t Fail the ‘SOB Test' Which Democratic leaders have learned the right lessons about how to compete in a post-Trump political environment?

For me and clearly many others, the SOB test is now the primary lens for judging Democratic candidates. Every election at every level, from now through 2028, is a referendum on an unbearable presidency. My latest, at The Big Picture.

#NoKings Geneva, NY drew 300 people. Amazing turnout and energy.

It’s almost as if Jake Tapper should write a book about this.

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.

But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.

Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

Phew! 😅

If only he had a way to vote in accordance with his stated beliefs!

Honestly, this is my #1 objection to yesterday’s decision. SCOTUS had many, many opportunities to curb universal injunctions against the Biden administration. For four years, it refused. Then, almost as soon as Trump returned to office, it changed the rules to take away universal injunctions. Why?

“Turns out Zohran’s coalition was everyone.” Says it all.

The Supreme Court Just Threw Trans Kids Under The Bus—Here's What Their Ruling Means SCOTUS lands devastating blow against trans youth and their families

The Supreme Court has sided with cruelty. Again. This time, it’s trans kids who pay the price. In this powerful piece, lawyer and democracy expert @importantmeagan.bsky.social pulls back the curtain on the new ruling upholding the TN ban on gender-affirming care, and sounds the alarm on what's next.

Senior Voters Are Turning Out In Force To Protest Trump—And Could Be Democrats' Secret Weapon Think voters get more conservative with age? Think again.

Here, from @toddbeeton.bsky.social at @georgetakei.bsky.social's Big Picture substack, is the best account I've read of how @thirdactorg.bsky.social is turning American elders into a progressive bulwark of the anti-Trump movement. Go Grantifa!

At Geneva Democrats’ community town hall, glad to hear rep from @schumer.senate.gov’s office committing that Democrats will oppose Trump’s Big Betrayal Bill and force Republicans to take votes to put them on the record.

My favorite sign from the #NoKings protest in Canandaigua, NY yesterday! ❤️ #grantifa

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

Incredible turnout at #NoKings Canandaigua, NY. 💪 The solidarity was amazing, broken up only by the occasional Trumper giving us the finger out their truck window. They’re classy like that.

Finger Lakes & #NY24 represented!

this is horrific, and the eventuality some of us have been warning about for a long time

It's vital to emphasize that the GOP has been calling for violence against their political opponents for more than a decade now, led by Trump. The violence keeps escalating, and they keep doing it because they're getting results.

If You Think We Can’t Beat Trump, Remember The 3.5% Rule History shows autocrats are vulnerable to massive nonviolent resistance

History shows that only a small fraction of our population is needed to quash the movement of a dictator like Trump through nonviolent mobilization. This weekend, we have the chance to deliver those numbers.

Mary Miller says she’s ‘deeply troubled’ by Sikh man leading House floor prayer in deleted xenophobic post The Republican member of Congress initially misidentified the man — who was invited to the House by another member — as Muslim.

We're deeply troubled too, because one of our elected officials is openly embracing Christian nationalism.

Rep. Mary Miller doesn’t oppose prayer in Congress, just non-Christian ones.

There shouldn’t be any government-sponsored prayer on the House floor.

None, that's why they all opposed it.

Disengaged Voters Are Abandoning Trump In Droves—Can Democrats Win Them Back? Trump just handed Democrats an opening with one of his key voting blocs

They don’t read the NYT or watch CNN. They get most of their political news from friends, family, and Facebook. And in 2024, these “opt-out” voters helped put Trump back in office. But now, that same group is starting to turn on him.

The Democratic Party's Path Forward Primary Democrats are offering competing visions for how the party can rebuild—whose will prevail?

The Democratic Party primaries for President in 2028 are a long way away, but we are starting to see some lanes emerge: the messengers, the fighters, and the reformers, per @toddbeeton.bsky.social at The Big Picture.

My latest for The Big Picture.

We put together a little May Day protest in Geneva, NY and the turnout was amazing. This is just half our crowd or so, coming out in the reddest district in New York, NY-24 (Claudia Tenney’s our MIA Rep.) Love people’s passion (and those signs!)
