    Democrats: It’s more than “just the economy, stupid”
    Tariffs, ICE raids, city invasions and brutalizing immigrants have also become kitchen table issues
    By HEATHER DIGBY PARTON

    “We know he couldn’t help but whine a little. “I mean, I’m not getting — maybe I have the — bad public relations people, but we’re not getting it across.” Coming from the man who bills himself as the greatest leader…”

  3. Dictators gonna’ dick.

    #digby

    Lest anyone think that Donald Trump is the only president to muse about the benefits of a dictatorship, recall that the previous GOP president, George W. Bush, did as well. Following a meeting with congressional leaders in 2000 he said, “I told [them] that there are going to be some times where we don’t agree with each other, but that’s OK. If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier — just so long as I’m the dictator.”

    Paging FDR: Democrats need to embrace New Deal-style politics

    FDR fought for the underdog — and he was brazenly ruthless. Dems should follow his lead

    Over the last couple of weeks, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has emerged as the national leader of this group for his pugilistic response to the GOP’s craven mid-decade redistricting plans in Texas.

  15. 💫

    Always time for a new Digby.

    The M.O. of the extremist Republican Party: find the lines, cross them, dare people to push them back. Courts have. So now the GOP is going after the courts,” I wrote ahead of the 2016 election. That was near prescient.

    The U.S. Court of International Trade on Wednesday slapped down His Majesty’s tariffs as outside his authority. Whaddya figure? The ruling was unanimous.

  17. #Digby #Opposition #Shock #Election #mojo

    Last month's presidential election was a disappointment, to say the least. Ever since then it's felt as if the air has just been slowly leaking out of the opposition. Much of the mainstream media seems to be attempting to change course and curry favor with the new administration [Scarboroughs]. Sometimes it's hard to remember why we fight when it all seems so futile.

    Well, I think the opposition is about to get its mojo back.

  20. Wondering why Speaker #MikeJohnson suddenly grew a principled spine over Ukraine and Israel aid - especially defying the Putin wing of the House GOP?

    #Digby wondered if he’s been possessed.

    However, a journalist on cable news mentioned offhandedly that Johnson’s son is at the Naval Academy, and he doesn’t want him fighting a war that the Ukrainians could fight instead. Sorry, I didn’t catch the journalist’s name. She was blonde, and it was a panel. But when she said Johnson’s got family that could be deployed, the penny dropped.

    That’s it. That’s the reason.

  26. Yes! Bobo’s first campaign experiences in the pitiable new Colorado district are going abominably for the insufferable gunslinger.

    “Representative Lauren #Boebert did not receive the warm welcome she was hoping for after switching #Colorado districts, with her rivals accusing her of being a “#carpetbagger” during the first primary #debate.”

  27. Fantastic #Digby piece went up. (Not Safe For Fascists)

    “Yes, white nationalist clowns who dress alike and follow each other around like some kind of low-rent fraternity like to project menace for the rush.* They may even commit violence. But as a force to be reckoned with they leave something to be desired. Laugh, but remain vigilant.”

    It's Monday and this promises to be an interesting week. The former guy's three eldest spawn all will take the stand in the fraud trial against the organization with their name on it. Wars continue raging overseas while antisemitism has been ratcheted up to levels I've never experienced in

    The Reagan administration had
    James G Watt, who had to resign because of some extremely non-PC comments he made. Expect even more extreme non-PC declarations soon, and nobody resigning. As "Digby" Parton said of current Republicans, shamelessness is their superpower.

    Canada once had a fcking *Minister of Science and Technology* who thought the Earth was 6000 years old.

  31. CW: food

    We've been eating out inside more than I wanted to this trip.

    I (and the kids) generally keep our masks on until the food arrives, or we start drinking any amount of liquid. Tonight where we ate, the server actually pointed out their Hepa air filter they had running in the dining room. Only one out of the 4 places we've eaten inside that indicated they were trying to take any kind of precautions from COVID.

    By the way, if you are ever in #Digby #NovaScotia, Antonio's has amazing seafood.

    “Digby consumes a bowl of a liquid growth formula called Project X. Soon he becomes a sheepdog of gigantic size.” (from IMDB)

    This was a favorite when I was little. I wonder how it has stood up over time. 🤔
