It may ultimately end up being the sheer incompetence of MAGA that saves our democracy. Most smart people who know things and understand the law are just not MAGAs ... for some mysterious reason.🤷♀️

Peter Magyar's victory in Hungary was fueled by a potent message tying the affordability crisis to the corruption of wealthy elites. With Trump presiding over unprecedented corruption and with prices skyrocketing, Democrats have the opportunity to replicate Magyar's success in November and beyond.
Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.
That’s crazy. More work for the courts….
Thanks for the backgrounder. All of California is looking forward to more robust housing opportunities so, you go girl! Glad you’re representing me and mine 🙏

NEW: A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that key actions Trump took to delay solar and wind projects across the U.S. were illegal (me for @heatmap.news)
Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.
Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.
GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?
WARSH: That is, senator.
GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.
The economy isn't broken—it's working exactly as designed, just not for you. Data confirms it: personal income down, savings rate 4%, debt record high. The S&P hit records for the 10% who own it. The rest of us get the bill.

Anyone who Trump wants to pay off via taxpayer money just has to file a frivolous lawsuit against the federal government and then Trump’s DOJ settles the case and Donald Trump just gifted your tax dollars to one of his cronies.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
Elizabeth Warren nails Warsh right between the eyes: if you're tough and independent, did Donald Trump lose the election in 2020?
Warsh refused to answer, dances around the question. Won't matter to Republicans, but could raise questions in the markets about subservience.
