They tried to throw an Olympian, who trained and competed for his country, in prison to cover for the wannabe king who destroyed a national treasure with a corrupt deal with one of his cronies. This is why you don’t tell them “welcome home” or vote for their nominees or vote to fund their govt.
It’s very very possible that the GOP in the USA is part of a global criminal enterprise
There's no reason a politician should have a better healthcare plan than any of their constituents regardless of military service. I say this as a Veteran.

Food prices have risen 33% since 2019 and ground beef is up 79% since then due to Covid, supply chain issues and corporate greed. What needs to be tracked is the increase in corporate profits since then to see who took advantage of those issues to gouge the public.
News: The U.S. economy grew at a disappointing 1.5% in the 2nd quarter of 2026. Congratulations to @sarahbca.bsky.social for her “Bookmark this” comment last December when Howard Lutnick said 2Q of 2026 would be “amazing.” @atrupar.com

Anyway, Dems will keep losing elections to the far right authoritarian party, which is the one responsible for blocking all the policies, until they can explain to voters <why> their preferred policies fail & that the problem is THE INSTITUTIONS. This is the actual What Democrats Must Do thing
Mark CopelovitchOnce again, I don’t know what to do with the Takes™️ from Ezra Klein, Andy Beshear, & everyone else about What Democrats Must Do™️ to reach out to Real Folks about Kitchen Table Issues, when the new political reality in 🇺🇸 is that large shares of voters simply believe the sun rises in the West
We learned this during the 2020 primary, when we wasted multiple debates with Barry Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, & others waxing poetic about their favorite universal health care plans, with no discussion at all of how they were possible to pass politically.

🧵 Democrats need to stop promising sweeping policies like this w/o ever discussing <institutional> reform. There was <no way> any of this was going to pass the Senate. It's no wonder voters get disillusioned. You promise them magical 🦄 & can't deliver. The <platform> needs to be institutional reform

Those policies would disproportionately benefit women, especially those who make too much to qualify for existing programs but not enough to easily afford paid support. 2/
What Democrats Must Do is find leaders & spokespeople who can explain to the public that the policies they want will <only> ever happen if <first> there are major institutional reforms that fundamentally fix our broken legislative, electoral, & judicial institutions.
Mark CopelovitchThe. Policy. Project. And. Platform. Needs. To. Be. Institutional. Reform.
👇🎯💯 Again, the <platform> needs to be <institutional reform> & all the committees & commissions that want to Do A Popularism & focus on Kitchen Table Issues are engaged in a category mistake about What Democrats Must Do the next time they ever have power. bsky.app/profile/mcop...
GOLIKEHELLMACHINEthe thing that the next dem candidate for president will have to understand and have to explain is that this court, with these powers, will not let a democratic president or a democratic majority govern, and that president and that majority will have to respond accordingly.

this could have been so much worse; for example imagine if the corporate business press had just parroted Musk's claims, helping his pump and dumpers affix the giant con to the broader economy and folks' retirement savings
