Peace talks underway, inflation down, gas prices down, egg prices down.
That is exactly what we voted for. Which helps explain why the headlines for Democrats continue to be so, well, depressing.
Headline from a long, hopeless New York Times op-ed, yesterday:
The op-ed ended observing, “the problem for Democratic optimists is that neither substantial mobilization nor a cogent strategy to counter Trump has materialized.” In other words:
they’ve got nothing.
On Monday,
Politico agreed, mournfully noting that Democrats have neither a message nor a strategy:
And yesterday,
the Hill reported on the latest Democrat surrender, which is bound to enrage progressive activists:
Hilariously, Senate Democrats are hogtied by indecision. Their options are to vote for the GOP’s budget bill, which they hate, or oppose it and shut down the federal government. But they also fret that a government shutdown is
just what Trump wants. What to do?
Senator Angus King (Maine), an independent who votes Democrat, complained to the Hill that, “I suspect we’re dealing with many people who think a shutdown would be a good thing, and they could prolong it and use it to expand the president’s power even beyond what they’re already considering. So that’s something that has to be considered.
This isn’t normal.”
On that, we can agree. We aren’t living in normal times. But so far, since January, it has been amazingly
abnormal.
Terrific EPA news buried in NYT spin; Ukraine’s instant ceasefire deal & its historical echoes; Kursk disaster reshapes the war; inflation wrecks Dem narratives on eggs & gas; and much more.
