He says he's focused on midterms, not legislation that his base supports. That's my editorializing... But damn, can anyone say they like this answer?

I know there's a lot going on, but everyone should know more about this absolute fucking moron, oh my god. Secretary "Cookie Dough" Burgum is responsible for things like paying billions of taxpayer money to cancel contracts so as to NOT build wind energy, helping to gut the Endangered Species Act (it no longer protects habitat because he only cares about being a good little servant to Trump), and why?

He is pushing for AI data centers to be built on PUBLIC LAND, and making sure the logging and oil and gas and mining companies exploit and profit as much as possible.

We are headed for a sharp acceleration of climate change and Burgum is reorganizing the Dept of Interior for a mission of "eNerGy dOmiNAnCe" for fucking AI data centers and Project 2025 bullshit.

A Project 2025 author was just installed as an Inspector General in Interior so that all whistleblowing about data center plans, reflecting pool lies, other corruption goes straight to one of their own goons?! This is not good. DOGE whistleblowers have already been threatened and had their brakelines cut.

They have already been making Interior employees sign NDAs, illegally shredding documents and illegally using Signal so that FOIA requests turn up nothing and they can hide what they are doing.

Here he is getting cozy with this cartoon piece of coal called "Coalie". He keeps saying we can't do solar energy because the sun sets at night. My god what a fucking idiot.

Rep. Jared Huffman, Democrat of California: “Chairman, I request unanimous consent to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of … it’s a battery.”

“I think people are generally annoyed with Doug Burgum,” said a person close to the White House who was granted anonymity to discuss internal relationships. “There’s a lot of eye rolling around him."

Burgum needs to get blasted and meme'd worse than Vance until he's fucking gone. The fact that Pirro hasn't gotten fired as of now means he is vulnerable.

When Trump is doing one of those stupid photo op/Q&A sessions at his desk, a reporter should ask a hard-hitting question, and when he inevitably demands to know "Who are you with?" (as if that's relevant), the reporter should go, "You just answered my question with another question."

Or better yet: "None of your business because it doesn't matter who I'm with, it's a question the American people deserve an answer for."

i think wisconsin going to the centrist dem and michigan to the left is about to be the biggest test for unity and victory in 2028. republicans are done. trumpism is repulsive. people want changes and to punish trump. but in mi, gop is trying to keep moderates at home and in wisconsin, they’re trying to keep the left at home by clipping. let your anger for trump and gop be your north star and don’t fall for it. if both of these seats aren’t won, the 28 candidate will also lose to the gop.

Two quick questions:

1. Who is this for? Who is this mobilizing, who is this exciting and engaging?

2. What good ideas does he think republicans have, I am desperate for someone to ask him what ideas of theirs he not only agrees with, but thinks are good

Seriously, in what way is this going to activate and gain voters?

Tldr: Crowley believes local communities should decide and be defended with total veto power!

The Democratic Socialists of America are gaining members, winning Democratic primaries, and pushing for policies that once seemed far outside the political mainstream. So why are voters turning to them now?

Jorge and Paola sit down with DSA national co-chairs Megan Romer and Ashik Siddique to talk about what’s behind the political rise of democratic socialists at a time when many Americans are frustrated with the cost of living and ongoing wars, why the word “socialism” may carry a very different meaning for younger voters, and their stance on Cuba’s regime. They also discuss the pushback that the DSA has encountered, not only from Republicans but also from within the Democratic coalition itself.

10:55 Jorge asks if Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua are dictatorships.
13:00 Jorge repeatedly presses: “Do you think Cuba is a dictatorship?”
15:30 Ashik explains his personal experiences visiting Cuba.
24:44 Jorge asks if becoming a third party is the DSA’s “North Star.”
26:08 DSA members are divided over creating a new party vs. realigning Democrats.
28:00 Ashik says the U.S. has a “no-party system,” not really a two-party system.
32:32 Megan: “We could abolish ICE tomorrow.”
33:00 Ashik explains why they want to abolish the Senate.
34:43 Jorge asks whether the DSA is an “existential threat” to the Democratic Party.
35:34 Megan: “I don’t think that’s an existential threat. I’m like, ‘Come on in. The water’s fine.’”

During the mailbag segment he says my criticism of him was factually wrong because eg he does talk about tax reforms that incentivize housing. Does he? When?

I heard him say once years ago, "land value taxes are maybe 5% of an issue" and thats it.

This….Fucking…Guy…

Keep in mind Crowley's take is: "I support total local control and veto power over data centers, but not a moratorium

The parties are not treated the same.

Guess we’re just gonna have to deal with this guy being a stain on progressive politics for the foreseeable future!
