Could there be a better metaphor for the plight of the out-of-power Democratic Party than the fact that it's now a week into debating how the party screwed up an "autopsy" about how the party screwed up the 2024 presidential election?

Democratic governors and lawmakers across the nation have devised an "unusual" plan to cripple President Donald Trump’s “anti-weaponization fund” designed to award taxpayer-funded payouts to his supporters – including violent Jan. 6 Capitol rioters – a strategy that would deny recipients a single penny from the fund, The Washington Post reported Sunday.“It's simple: If you're a New Yorker who takes from Trump's illegal January 6th slush fund, NY will tax 100% of it,” said Alex Bores, a New York assemblymember and Democratic Congressional candidate. “If you storm the Capitol and you take from the slush fund, too bad, we’re taking it.”The fund was offered as a settlement to Trump in exchange for him dropping his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a suit he filed over his tax returns leaking in 2019. At $1.8 billion, the fund was established to compensate those who claim to have been unfairly targeted by the Biden administration’s Justice Department (DOJ), including those who have been convicted of assaulting police officers on Jan. 6.While a federal judge on Friday temporarily halted the Trump administration from doling out payments, Democrats across the nation are still mobilizing behind what the Post called the “unusual strategy” en masse.“It’s an action we look forward to taking,” said California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who endorsed the idea to tax payouts from Trump’s fund at a rate of 100%.New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul voiced support for the plan as well, telling reporters last week that she had “no problem with there being consequences for people who accept that money,” the Post reported.The Democratic leader in the Wisconsin state Senate, Dianne Hesselbein, voiced support for the plan, the Post reported, as did Sen. Michael Bennett (D-CO). Trump’s DOJ, however, had a less than favorable impression of the plan.“Instead of flaunting their love of lawfare and taxing constituents into oblivion, blue-state governors should focus on preventing more of their residents from fleeing in droves to free states with lower taxes, less crime, and governments that actually serve the people they represent,” said Natalie Baldassarre, a DOJ spokesperson, in a statement issued to the Post.I just introduced the Anti-Insurrectionist Act in NY.

Joe Walsh, the former Republican congressman turned Trump critic, says Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones may have just handed Democrats the opening they needed to flip the governor's office after a recording surfaced of Jones saying he supports banning all abortions.In what appears to be a 2022 GOP debate, Jones is seen agreeing with others that abortion should be banned entirely, as opposed to endorsing a six-week heartbeat bill."Wow, this'll get Georgia Democrats licking their chops," Walsh wrote on X, reacting to the tape of Jones, who is considered the leading GOP candidate for governor. "Here's Lt. Gov Burt Jones, the leading GOP candidate for Governor, on tape saying he's for banning all abortions."Walsh, who has made a point of calling out Republicans he believes are out of step with the broader electorate, was blunt about the political damage. "That ain't gonna play well," he wrote. "It won't play well with Georgia voters at all. This is how Georgia goes blue."Georgia has become one of the most competitive states in the country over the past several election cycles, with Democrats carrying it at the presidential level in 2020 and winning two Senate seats. Abortion has been a driving issue for Democrats since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, helping the party outperform expectations in multiple cycles.Jones has not yet responded publicly to the resurfaced remarks. His position, if it becomes central to the governor's race, would put him well to the right of most Georgia voters on an issue that has repeatedly proven costly for Republican candidates in competitive states.

Vice President JD Vance remains on shaky ground as the heir to Donald Trump’s MAGA kingdom, with the president continually polling anyone within earshot about what they think of his veep and White House insiders counseling the veep on how he conducts himself.According to the New York Times, Trump has made a habit of conducting what amounts to running focus groups on Vance's performance, comparing him unfavorably to his own achievements and reminding allies that Vance "has never won a tough race without his help."Trump frequently reminds people that his endorsement was decisive in Vance's tight 2016 race for an Ohio Senate seat — a rhetorical device designed to underscore Vance's dependence on Trump's political machinery.The Times is reporting that, beyond policy disputes, Trump has zeroed in on Vance's personal conduct and presentation. He has criticized the vice president's shoes and ribbed him for his tendency to interrupt.ALSO READ: Republicans have a JD Vance problem – 'no one seems to like him': reportWith the Times noting that Vance is known for obsessively scrolling on his phone, there are concerns about his combative interactions with critics on social media that led White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to call him on the carpet and tell him to dial it back; a position also taken by other "West Wing insiders," the report notes. Trump has openly wondered aloud why Vance didn't behave with more deference, using Chinese President Xi Jinping's subordinates as his model."Why don't you behave like that?" Trump asked Vance during a breakfast for Republican senators. "JD doesn't behave like that! JD butts into conversations. I want to have that for at least a couple of days. OK, JD?"In a recent Fortune interview in the Oval Office, when asked who was best positioned to carry on his legacy, Trump offered an ominous assessment: "Whoever gets this is going to be very important. And if you get the wrong person: disaster."During that interview, Vance stood silently in the back of the room as Trump delivered his ambiguous verdict on the vice president's future.
