“The job of this next Democratic Congress is to make Trump pay for his unpopular actions and then make Republicans pay for staying with him.
Relentlessly. Remorselessly.
Democrats only get to build a better world later if they get this job done first.”

“Democrats that they have one mission and one mission only for the next two years:
Destroy Trump’s political standing.
You think he’s finished? That he’s had enough? No.
Hit him again.”

“The lesson of 2026 is we have agency. We can fight back against authoritarianism.
Another lesson is America is not immune to fascism.
It was the [alarmist] ‘hand-wringers’ who [have now] made the world safe for the effete, both-sides elites.”

“Finally, it is rich that a White House lawyer for this administration would complain about baseless, politically motivated investigations. If he is trying to root that out, he best speak directly with his client.”

“With sex, lies, and money, with a corrupt president and wannabe unaccountable tech oligarch overlords, with damage to our national security and help for our main adversary, I suspect this scandal will be—and deserves to be—one for the history books.”

“‘The past is never dead. It’s not even past.’ Thus the famous Mississipian William Faulkner. But the past is not immutable, the present is contingent, and the future will be shaped by our choices. The voters of Mississippi chose the future over the past.”

“Lutnick has spent the last year "undoing" efforts by other administration officials to hold Megaspeed — a company accused of illegally diverting U.S. chips to China — accountable.”

“Scandals develop in unpredictable ways. But with sex, lies, and money, with a corrupt president and unaccountable tech oligarchs, with damage to our national security and help for our main adversary, this scandal will be one for the history books.”

“Many scandals simmer.
Some reach a slow boil.
A few explode.
The China Chips scandal is exploding.”

“The president knew our national security was being compromised. He chose to stay in close contact, engaging in conversations presumably reported back to the Chinese government, and taking advice from someone compromised by a hostile foreign power.”

"Trump was told aboard Air Force One in May en route to China that the U.S. had obtained sensitive intelligence showing Nvidia’s chief executive was in a relationship with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy...The message was delivered by Marco Rubio."

“It’s already clear that this is not merely a story of cronyism or favoritism or even corruption. The president knew our national security was being compromised. He chose to do nothing. Indeed, he chose to do worse than nothing.”

“It’s not just a sex scandal. It’s a spy scandal.
In fact, it’s not just a spy scandal. It’s a national security scandal, one that directly involves the president of the United States.”

“The opposition just won a massive victory and is mobilizing quickly, while Republicans wait for their leader to emerge from his cocoon of nostalgia and give them orders. What choice do they have? They’ve long since forgotten how to function without him.”

I assume Trump will dump Hegseth soon. It’s in his interest as well as the nation’s. If he doesn’t have the guts to do so, he’s a cuck.
“In the House Dems lead the popular vote by over 13 points, the widest margin for either party in a midterm since 1974. That would be a swing of 16 points against Rs, who won the vote by 2.6 in 2024, and the largest two-year swing toward Dems since 1932.”

I started a Substack. My first post is on why 2026 is 1974 all over again, and how the same forces, fifty years apart, delivered Democrats their most decisive victory in half a century. ebwinter.substack.com/p/our-…
It was a massive defeat for Trump and Trumpism—we now have the possibility of a very different political future. But Trump isn’t going down easily.
And the Huang scandal is exploding—did Trump knowingly subvert our national security vis-à-vis China?

“He said he absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy."
Well that’s kind of the point of being a spy.
The question isn’t what Huang knew. The point is our government knew she was a spy. Trump didn’t care. He did nothing.
Trump: Making Chinese Spying Great Again.
Q: "When you went to China earlier this year in May, did you know about these alleged ties with the Chinese spy then?"
Trump: "No, I didn't hear about it then, but a lot of people have heard about it, and Jensen totally denies that. I asked him today…He said he absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy."
“Democrats should act as though they own Congress today. The future doesn’t start in 2027. Voters gave Democrats the biggest mandate any party has had in 50 years. Start driving legislation and dare Republican dead-enders to get in the way.”
