Duggan can go f* himself, too, running as a spoiler for gov. I’m still hoping Buttigieg will run for Senate.

I’m hoping Duggan changes his mind and runs as a democrat for governor, as he should. I get where he’s coming from, though - establishment democrats have failed us completely, but he’s not ready for the national stage.
Mayor Pete should set his sights on state senator, then go for US senator - he needs experience as a legislator. He doesn’t have any yet.

I don’t know, I kind of feel like Buttigieg can set his sights beyond state-level house/senate. How about the US House? He lives in District 1, so he’s already got an advantage over Bergman (owns a house in the UP, but lives in Louisiana while away from Washington).

Sec of Transportation is a huge position. Cabinet level. He could easily be credible running for the Senate.

I’m not arguing against it. I still want Bergman gone, though. MAGA stooge.

WOW that’s not OK. Yeah, take that seat, Pete.

I agree with your points and I tried to impress the point earlier that I was skeptical that certain voting blocs that didn’t turn out would have swung the election either way. It wasn’t my intention to blame to these groups that had their reasons for doing what they did. But that being said, they made their choice with eyes wide open, and if they aren’t happy with the outcome, I don’t really know what to say other than that’s the choice you have to live with.
My blame is directed squarely towards the millions of people who voted for Trump despite knowing damn well who he is and what he stands for. Those who decided they were so upset about “the border” and “price of groceries” that the best option was to simply burn the whole thing to the ground rather than give the hugely qualified Black woman a chance. And now I have plenty blame for the Dems in power that aren’t fucking doing anything other than being caught flat footed with their thumbs up their ass. Surely they knew what was coming and could have prepared for it. Trump telegraphed everything that is happening FFS.
I’ve got plenty of rage and anger to go around right now — it’s all I can do to balance out my despair.
As always, thank you for your eloquent and thoughtful response.

AG Bondi, day 1:
– disbands the Foreign Influence Task Force
– stops FARA (foreign govt lobbyist registration) enforcement except when actual espionage suspected
– Stops FCPA (bribing foreign govts) enforcement unless to further drugs or terrorism

I saw this today, after I posted… and I like it.
It’s a small thing, but it’s an active use of access and power to fight, and we need much, much more of this from Democrats, please.

Yep.
Damn I wish I didn’t know as much as I do about German history. It was kind of unavoidable for me, growing up.
My bingo cards for 2025 are as yet unmade, unprinted, and I shudder at contemplating such a project. Guess I’d better get out, plant more trees, turn my compost piles, and find more friends and allies locally.
