The results are speaking for themselves, and loudly. MAGA but also the DNC are going to be very upset about this.

Can’t be repeated enough…

Crested Butte CO. My wife admiringly pointed out how these bike people just took over the curbside parking like car drivers do. They put out cones and took the space unapologetically instead of putting their bikes on the sidewalk. Good on them.

I saw the news alert on my phone but didn’t have my glasses on. All I could make out was “Trump” and “House,” so of course I thought, “what terrible thing are they doing?” So: holy shit. He really is losing ground in the GOP.

Ukraine supporters caution about overconfidence. The fortunes could change again if Russia manages to close the drone gap or get better at intercepting Ukrainian drones. Some believe that Ukraine now has a short window to achieve a lasting breakthrough. www.thebulwark.com/p/yes-russia...

So the guy who repeatedly promised to release his taxes sued his own IRS when they got released, then made a deal with himself to drop his suit against his own agency if they agreed to pay off his co conspirators with our money is now reneging on the deal he made with himself? Do I have that right?

A new Moodys analysis shows that the average American household has paid $450 more for gas & energy since the start of this pointless, dumbass war.

"The Climate Change Committee shows a single fossil fuel shock could cost as much as the entire additional investment required to reach net zero between now and 2050." Any Democrats pointing out this extremely salient fact?

Great episode. Gave me hope!

Minnesota Republicans just endorsed this guy for Senate.

The Commodores, Martina McBride and Bret Michaels are the latest performers to flee Trump's sinking "Great American State Fair" ship. At this rate, they'll be lucky if Vanilla Ice doesn't cancel last-minute for a better gig at a county fair in Ohio. Maybe Kash Patel's girlfriend can perform! 🤣

Republicans say this stuff all the time. Robin Vos says things like this in WI. But now it's not just "Democrats' votes shouldn't count." It's also "Democrats shouldn't even get to vote." And yet, somehow, our entire National Conversation™️ is always about how Democrats don't reach out to Real Folkz.

Who puts these things together? It's as sad as Trump's pathetic birthday military parade. thehill.com/blogs/in-the...

So now the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee that spent the past few months & millions in ads telling Texas voters that Ken Paxton is unfit for office because of his criminal behavior & repulsive personal conduct is now going to tell the same voters that Paxton is amazing.

I don't know how it's possible, but this column somehow manages to "both sides" the issue of traffic violence and victim blame at the same time. One of the worst I've seen in many years of covering this.
