Apparently, 'real' voter suppression is when voters get voice in process, disrupting politicians crafting their own electorates DOJ has determined letting voters choose their maps is threat to democracy, but letting politicians choose their voters is its sacred cornerstone😡

We stand with Rep. Jasmine Crockett in calling for an end to voting machines owned by Dominion. Our voting systems should never be controlled by anyone aligned with MAGA politics. It’s time to push for statewide bans on these machines.

Do not forget; One of the first things these monsters did was to cut USAID and PEPFAR. Anyone not on team T is useless and expendable. And now we're going to war with Venezuela? Hey maga, do any of you morons remember when he promised America First and no wars? Epstein files now!

Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people. They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

While Trump is motivated by power, it is also true that he is driven to conceal the thing that threatens that power: whatever is hidden in the Epstein files. When we finally see what’s inside the case file, we must ensure he is held accountable, Marc Elias writes.

"Please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong *** It is not law enforcement; it is terror."

Truth

I’m at a loss here. uk.news.yahoo.com/chuck-schume...

Remember when Grok kept delivering "woke" (i.e. accurate) answers and when they adjusted it, it just immediate went full Nazi?

JD won't let things like facts get in the way of his bigotry. That's why he has Grok.

VP Kamala Harris: Our unity is our strength, and our diversity is our power. VP JD Vance: I’m a Grok guy.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The DOJ is suing to stop California’s redistricting map. Apparently vote approved maps are a problem, but partisan gerrymanders done without public input are just democracy working as intended?

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

HEH.

Interesting how ICE flights weren't impacted by the shutdown. Just commercial flights. Yet we had to end the shutdown for the airlines? Sure, Jan.

When Big Oil companies claim to be partners in climate solutions, remember: they are lying. As the climate crisis intensifies, Chevron is once again "increasing investments in oil and gas exploration," Reuters reports. www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

Well I mean…who didn’t see this coming?

It was perfectly captured by political scientist Ed Burmila: “The crisis of elite impunity that is ruining our society cannot be more clearly or convincingly demonstrated than with the fact that all of these people wrote all this stuff into an email and hit Send.” bsky.app/profile/edbu...

This is a story of a massive Trump cover up but it’s also a story about total elite impunity, how the wealthy and powerful operate with a set of rules totally unrecognizable to the rest of us

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

Stop going to Starbucks until employees get their Union. Solidarity people.

It doesn’t take long to see Trump’s horrendously warped character. He vividly displayed it after descending from that golden escalator in 2015. To me it says a lot more about people who elected him, twice!

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

When you read these Epstein emails, you start to understand why so many prominent conservatives are obsessed with checking the genitals of children. It's a big thing for them!

Did Trump spend Thanksgiving with Jeffrey Epstein *in 2017* While he was president When Epstein was already a convicted sex offender And long after Trump said he had cut ties with him years before Wow No wonder he’s fighting so hard to hide these files It just keeps getting worse

one step closer to crank dealignment

Helpful to keep in mind that lying sack of shit Karoline Leavitt ran for Congress in 2022, and lost. After a lawsuit against her campaign, she was forced to admit that she hid about $326,000 in undisclosed debt. Roughly 200k came from illegal contributions. She's dirty AF, just like her boss.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

AOC: How can we, as members of congress, Republican or Democrat, vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people? That is what this legislation does. In fact, Senator Graham said he was going to seek well over $1 million from the American people, from this.

Never forget:

I could have sworn this was a huge deal. In fact the feds were so proud of themselves for capturing these violent criminals that they felt it was necessary to send the national guard to take over the city

"Literally every single word the President said was wrong... We have enormous anxiety among voters. The cost of living is rising, and people are understandably upset. I just want to be crystal clear there's not a word coming out of the man's mouth that is correct."

Hegseth throwing away taxpayer money so he can sound like a tough guy with a new title.

"This is never going to be ok." Rep. Grijalva calls for formal legislation to make sure new members are sworn in promptly after Mike Johnson showed that good faith and norms cannot be counted on.
