THIS:
If your party overwhelmingly comprises the federal bureaucracy, you hold onto the levers of power even through electoral losses.
This has been the story of @TheDemocrats for my entire life. It's also the best explanation for the Democrats' current desperation and hysteria.

MAKE THEM PAY: Olivia Krolczyk files Title IX complaint after protesters disrupt her speech on women’s rights in sports.
Olivia Krolczyk, ambassador with the Riley Gaines Center, has filed a Tiltle IX complaint University of Washington after disruptive protesters forced the cancellation of her on-campus event discussing the harms of gender ideology.
Krolczyk filed a complaint on Tuesday with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, accusing the University of Washington of “illegal discrimination” under Title IX because of the university’s “failure to take reasonable and necessary measures to address the hostile environment that Ms. Krolczyk experienced,” the document states.
The event in question, during which Krolczyk was meant to address the ways that gender ideology hurts women, took place on Jan. 21. During Krolczyk’s lecture, “[r]oughly 200 protesters showed up at the event, broke windows, blocked the exits, pulled the fire alarms, and disrupted the event to the point where the event had to be cancelled,” as the complaint states.
“As the event started, the protestors’ actions became increasingly aggressive. Police officers were stationed at each door, as protesters began banging on the doors, shouting insults, and calling Ms. Krolczyk names such as ‘Nazi’ and ‘fascist.’ Ms. Krolczyk felt trapped. She was being held hostage in the room, with no safe way to exit due to the violent actions of the protesters,” the complaint relates.
Following the event’s cancellation, the university released a statement that falsely blamed Krolczyk of trying to provoke community members with her event, as the complaint document states.
Like I said, make them pay.
ICYMI: Swamp Apocalypse. Yesterday was a terrible, no-good, very bad day for the Swamp. Trump struck back in a coordinated assault on all fronts. He’s not waiting for the courts to do the right thing—nor is he defying them.”

PICKING THE 20 SIDE OF THE 80/20 ISSUE: Democrats lose touch with voters over Musk, Trump, DOGE.
The crude and insulting attacks Democratic lawmakers have leveled at President Donald Trump and Elon Musk threaten to drive away voters who want the party to work with the new president to cut wasteful spending.
In two Rasmussen Reports surveys shared with Secrets, voters by a wide margin of 19 points prefer the opposition party to work with Republican Trump.
What’s more, they generally have a positive view of Musk and approve of him leading the new Department of Government Efficiency.
The two polls revealed just how dangerous Democratic opposition to Trump and Musk could be, especially if support for the president’s efficiency movement continues to be supported by the country heading into the upcoming mid term elections.
Over the past two weeks, Democrats have protested the president’s moves to close USAID and the Department of Education, charging that he is threatening democracy.
Remember, “threatening democracy” means “threatening bureaucracy.”
SHE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW:
Isn't the easiest answer to why Jeffries is struggling to mount an Anti-Trump resistance is that the President, Elon, & DOGE have shut off the money tap for the astroturfed protest operations, &, it's hard to fuel genuine opposition to an agenda that’s popular with the people? pic.twitter.com/0OzpFdOvnU

HE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW:
If there’s a “constitutional crisis” it’s caused by activist federal district judges with narrow jurisdictions usurping the powers of the presidency. @GovChrisSununu and I take on the left last night on @cnn. It’s just more lawfare against Trump. pic.twitter.com/yvZPXyXaGK

Plus:
I’ve been thinking about ways to hold the judicial insurrectionists accountable
Perhaps we need a law providing that when someone seeks a nationwide injunction against the government, it must go to a three-judge district court with a direct appeal to SCOTUS

Democrats were responsible for the Federal Reserve, IRS, Jim Crow laws and segregation in the federal bureaucracy, not to mention Prohibition. And opposed Women’s suffrage. But other than that they are totally committed to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. https://t.co/MwhZVKNH7E
