"Ratfuckery" indeed.
"What we are seeing is a real effort to militarize the nation ahead of 2026...in Detroit, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Philadelphia...there will be a full-on effort to intimidate and suppress Dem voters."

On the pod @davedaley.bsky.social is brilliant on Trump/GOP ratfuckery:

The technical term in political science is ratfuckery.
Important new detail: the Trump admin intends to require 35d rather than 15d from notice in federal register to meetings of IC Councils, study sections, etc. Pure sabotage.

Almost all grant-review meetings under Trump 2.0 remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget.

So y’all are running with Rufo’s attempted ratfuckery? Be better, CNN. 🙄

What level of ratfuckery is Rodneyse Bichotte trying today
Today's Brooklyn Democratic Party Organizational Meeting was supposed to start at 10am. It's 10:20 and everyone is still waiting outside in the cold for the doors to open.

The wasn't ratfuckery. The ratfuckery was hiding Biden's condition from the public for a year and forcing a situation like this.

im pretty sure we will eventually learn about massive ratfuckery powered by elon musk to help trump win. and it will ultimately be meaningless because its a done deal. what the left needs to learn to do is ratfuckery instead of whining about it after the fact. in my opinion.

this is just ratfuckery, an attempt to derail the message instead of finding something useful to do and contribute

dont do this

This is absolutely terrible news.

With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately.

Woman who pushed the Tara Reade hoax continues to try to screw Democrats

Pushing that obvious ratfuckery should have given her a reputation like that of her co-conspirator Ryan Grim

Was she a knowing participant, or an easily manipulated sucker? Either way she should be relegated to RT

We really need to outlaw this kind of ratfuckery.

The article buries the reasons why in the middle but it boils down to: ratfuckery

Paxton is the king of ratfuckery. Even though Talarico is ahead, to do this in Crockett’s home district for no good reason is classic Paxton. He needs to go home.
🚨 BREAKING — At the request of Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Texas Supreme Court has halted a Dallas judge’s order to extend voting hours.

I really do think this is very instructive of the ratfuckery that any Dem (not just AOC if she does run) is going to face unfortunately and I’m not really sure how you deal with it
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

If you live in Texas check your voter registration RIGHT NOW!

The ratfuckery is afoot.

The thing about ratfuckery is that it doesn't work if everyone can identify it as ratfuckery. And No Labels' desperation here is making it easy to identify for all but the dimmest lights.
No Labels' spoiler bid has suddenly entered full meltdown mode. No serious candidates are interested. The group's public justifications are increasingly ludicrous. Time to pull the plug.

We have lots of new reporting and info in this piece. 1/

How No Labels’ Spoiler Bid Suddenly Entered Full Meltdown Mode
When Joe Manchin passed on a third party run, it opened a window on a behind-the-scenes campaign to stop the centrist group from enabling Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

The only question now is how large his win will be.

The bigger, the better.

He’ll benefit from all the proof of mandate he can get to help him deal with the inevitable ratfuckery.

It's always Jared when it comes to zionist ratfuckery
NEW: A source familiar tells me that Trump's idea for the US to take over Gaza was first conceived by Jared Kushner. Kushner remarked last year that Gaza's "waterfront property could be very valuable," adding "I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up”

Jesus christ, I knew it was bad, but 'absolute purge of all black women from Teen Vogue' is hitting new levels of fascist-complicit media ratfuckery.

How AI Plans to Buy 2026

This election should be a slam dunk for Democrats. There are billions of reasons it absolutely is not.

I'm going Paul Revere on this one and connecting the dots. One thing you can never say is that you haven't been told.

trump 2.0 has been a dipshit soufflé yet I was still somehow caught off guard by my body's visceral reaction to the public Ukraine ratfuckery

I feel the sadness and grotesqueness of it in my gut and bones
