The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

Big if true

@WhickTv @Timodc @hutchinson @Timodc you are not allowed to call yourself a political livestreamer until you have proven yourself on a @WhickTv panel

Hey @Timodc I'd love to have you on to talk about your recent takes on the Far Left and how the Democrats should treat them. We very much disagree. We should chat. Maybe @hutchinson and some others could come too.

@Timodc don't reach out or work with people who constantly shit on dems

I'm devastated to report that lots of Trump & Bibi supporters believe that I have betrayed my principles for arguing that Dems should be reaching out to the anti-war left and not shunning them in this moment. I will look inside & reflect. I must admit that on the surface this seems like a convenient thing to be mad about to avoid reckoning with the historic disaster that is Trump & Bibi's Iran war and the coming wreckage for the global economy and the GOP that is going to result.

The dudes who sucked Trump's cock the hardest to get him in office really be like this in 2026 🤡:

@WhickTv implying there was any dignity left to begin with

Never beg. Especially not to people who hate you or want to hurt you. Have some self-respect. If they fire you, they fire you. If you beg, not only do you lose your job but your dignity as well.

We don't want to become like MAGA. That is a fail state. Hasan is not 'anti Israel' he is Anti AMERICA. What are YOU doing? This is madness. If we want to win, we have to excise our extremists. The first party to effectively do so wins by a lot for a long time.

@i_am_fabs shitshow

Wow. Die ganze Trump Admin implodiert. Hahahahahahahahaha

@hutchinson average joe doesn't have the time and doesn't care enough

Some thoughts. Take a walk with me: We really need to launch a massive, country-wide campaign of educating (reeducating?😬) voters about the importance and function of the Congress. It is not enough to have majorities if you want to pass bills. A party winning control of government does not mean that literally anything can be done. There are limits to power, and those limits are set by the constitution and the voters themselves by deciding which politicians will represent them in government. The parties are not monolithic. If you don’t have the votes to do a particular thing, that thing simply cannot be done. That doesn’t mean you should give up on said thing, but it may have to be a long term project if the votes aren’t there. It is way, way, wayyy too common that this or that commenter on social media assumes that winning the presidency and control of the Congress means you can do literally anything you want. We are seeing that limitation now with Trump. He has been harassing republicans to drop the filibuster since the first term. He wants them to do that now to pass the SAVE Act with a simple majority in the senate. They are saying no, but he doesn’t have the votes to pass it even if they did get rid of the filibuster. He cannot brute force them to do anything, even though he generally gets a lot of the stuff he asks for. Then again, so did Biden and Obama. Obama had a functional 60 vote majority in the Senate for ~90 days when the Senate was actually in session in his first term. This short window was due to Sen Franken taking months to be seated and Sen Kennedy dying. Obama did not run on something more sweeping like M4A but even if he had, the voters did not elect a Congress that would have passed such a bill. He did campaign on a public option but Sen Lieberman and a handful of other democrats (that the VOTERS elected) said absolutely not. The ACA was a Herculean task and it was frankly a miracle that it passed given how many times most thought it was dead and how contentious the negotiations were. It did draw inspiration from a model established by then Governor Romney of MA, but Romneycare was the result of *bipartisan* negotiations with a Democratic Party supermajority led legislature, and it was democrats who forced massive subsidies into that policy. So yes, the ACA’s general model was inspired by Romneycare, but it was democrats who forced massive subsidies into both Romneycare and the ACA. Republicans were broadly and definitely *not* in favor of these subsidies, so the idea that the ACA or even Romneycare were “Republican policies” is pretty ludicrous.

Republicans famously are in favor of massively expanding Medicaid and SNAP subsidies, repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, capping student loan payments, the Fair Sentencing Act, expanding Children’s Health Insurance Program, etc.
