Agree

The DNC's 2024 autopsy -- like much of the political analysis around it -- is focused on a political world that no longer exists.

Then Democrats were caught up in a wave of anti-incumbent sentiment.

Today, they are benefiting from it.

Democrats need to spend less time thinking about why they lost in 2024 and instead focus on how, if they win back power, they can avoid the inevitable anti-incumbent pendulum swing.

Trump: The what people?

Someone tell Mike Johnson about the Christian virtue of humility, injunctions against pride, and emphasis on repentance. 'Cuz this railing against reckoning with America's sins seems crosswise with the whole idea of humans as sinners -- which is kinda big in Christianity.

Trump's second presidency has succeeded on the two things that matter most to him. 1. Staying out of prison. 2. Making a lot more money.

Compare the term limits issue w/ gerrymandering. Pro-democracy is about letting voters pick their leaders. Yet term-limits take away voters' option to reelect leaders.

Gerontocracy / shortage of nextgen leaders are issues. But voters are right the ones to end terms in office

[David Shorr @David_Shorr]

.@KatyTurNBC As a (retired) career-long policy change advocate, I think your idea to take on the gerrymandering issue is great.

Term limits, not so much. There is nothing inherently wrong or undemocratic about long-running service in public office. 1/2

Pro tip: It doesn't work that way. Nice as it'd be for Iran to cave, it has options besides capitulation. #TheEnemyGetsAVote

Pro tip: The pain being inflicted on the adversary isn't the point. What matters is whether they're acting in accord with your wishes -- or enduring the pain while defying your demands.

Secretary Marco Rubio said the U.S. blockage on the Strait of Hormuz is costing Iran as much as $500 million a day in lost revenue and that “total Iranian trade has been halted.” He said "any foreign financial institution or commercial actor that enables Iran's sanctions evasion is going to face secondary sanctions exposure and a loss of access to the U.S. financial system." https://t.co/mlEP84qCTM

The Iranian regime may be beyond Trump's ability to control, but he can still subjugate his vice president.
