hey I was promised a pure progressive without compromising! that voting for compromise was an unbeatable betrayal, wow! now he's allowed to be Conservative on issues? which issues though? can he say M4A isn't gonna pass or would that be unthinkable?

Every single person in attendance at this event is a degenerate freak that hates American values and practices ritual self-humiliation in devotion to an insane 79 year old man who wakes up every day and smears absurd orange makeup on his face because he thinks it makes him look good.

It might be easier just to have the legislature assert its supremacy, pass a bill clarifying the definition of “election“ and make that retroactive. Then implement the 10-1 map. You can hold the retirement age gambit as a threat. 2/2

AOC is right to say this, and anyone who attacks her for it is wrong. And AOC should under no circumstances be labeled antisemitic.

"I find this trans person disagreeable" and "I find trans people disagreeable" are not remotely similar statements and pretending they are is 1) stupid and 2) an effort, witting or otherwise, to paint all trans people as inherently disagreeable. It is, literally, a transphobic obfuscation.

Establishment Democrats spent $64 million to get that Virginia referendum passed. The idea that the fundraising is for its own sake and isn’t being used to try to win is just ridiculous.

I really viscerally hate how this administration communicates

hey i wrote about a better future a.co/d/06P3KmHF

the most anti free speech administration in this country’s history

Someday we’ll do this in Congress, but it’ll be The Battle Hymn of the Republic

Trump's billion-dollar ballroom is now so toxic that some vulnerable House Republicans don't want to vote on it. This is important, because to Trump/MAGA, the ballroom represents a potent symbol of his imperial/dictatorial presidency. 1/ (new piece from me) newrepublic.com/article/2101...

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

just unbelievably spitting mad at this garbage fuck these people, rewrite all the rules and lock every one of these white supremacist assholes out of power forever

that the virginia supreme court allowed the referendum to go forward - they could have stopped it - and then ruled this way really gives up the game the only difference between now and then is that the we know the result and they didn't like it

Did you know that [provocatively phrased counterintuitive statement]? It’s true. But [group you are predisposed to dislike] don’t want you to know, because of [thing flattering/unflattering to you/them].

Wilhoit's Law means Republicans can do whatever they want, but Democrats aren't allowed to do anything

the Dems have massive issues w/being more trusting in institutions, but if we're being real, the institutions have completely failed the Dems too.

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

I don’t think it’s sufficient for Democratic officials to treat these rulings like partisan acts from an out of control activist court. They should be regarded as part of a criminal conspiracy against the republic.

"The subject of the autopsy’s release has grown into a flash point in the party, and it is dogging Martin, who had promised to conduct a comprehensive review of the defeat and share it with the public." Ken Martin isn't sharing it because it reflects worse on the Democrats than on Kamala Harris.

This is going to be met with a bunch of "that will never hold up in court" responses. Ok. So do it anyway. Force this administration to make its preposterous masking arguments in front of federal judges. Make them defend secret police on the record. Go on the offensive.

It's not that controversial, in pretty mainstream circles, to say that American democracy began in 1965 This would seem to have: Implications

Two thirds of this site will angrily argue with you that a President Harris administration would also be at war with Iran right now because they liked Trump and need to rationalize how they're not bad people for having wanted him to win the 2024 election.

Remember, Democrats are the out of touch elites though.

The Michigan Democrats kept full control of the State Senate after winning the #SD35 special election last night in a landslide. Democrat Chedrick Greene won this Harris+1 district in the Tri-Cities by 19 points, the best Democratic performance here in decades at least.

Five-byline alert: 🚨 “.. Trump’s abrupt reversal on his plan to help ships go through the Strait of Hormuz came after a key Gulf ally suspended the U.S. military’s ability to use its bases and airspace to carry out the operation ..” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

This dropped around the same time as this interview - Neil Gorsuch on Megyn Kelly’s show. He was talking about how “young conservatives must have courage to stand by their beliefs.” Sounds apolitical to me!

Every time y’all say this shit it’d be better if you admitted you didn’t watch the rallies or have an attention span. This is a rally from Nov 3rd, 2024, 2 days before Election Day. Tim Walz calls them weird immediately after talking about Trump running on gutting healthcare. x.com/tim_walz/sta...

"Federal agents are conducting a raid at the office of L. Louise Lucas, a Democrat who serves as Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore." Lucas, one of Virginia's most powerful lawmakers, was at the forefront of the state's redistricting fight

oh they're gonna find out

This is an insane ratcheting up of their abuses of power.

Fascist regime strikes again. This has to end.

The White Sox were so close to first place. So, so close.

the Trump administration: “we are open white supremacists” the media: “opinions differ on new Trump refugee policy”

IT’S OFFICIAL! Sherrod Brown is Ohio’s Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate! Together, we will win this race, flip Ohio blue, and take back the Senate in November. Onwards!

"Got so mad online I tried to SWAT Will Stancil" is a level of online you should risk all hazards to avoid

I have never seen a more suicidal political project in my entire life

Trump announces that because of "Great Progress" the strait will remain closed. You read that right.

i am totally out of touch with the state of the world today

I don’t think Garland was the man for the moment but people seem very convinced that rushing the most legally and politically complicated prosecution in DOJ history into the teeth of a hostile judiciary would have worked better and I think you need to argue that rather than assume it

CASE DISMISSED

time and time again the court holds that rules and maps - even illegal ones - cannot be changed because it is “too close to an election” if the changes would benefit Dems now, it is fine canceling *ongoing primaries* in order to rewrite maps in favor of the GOP

Hope the folks at the Times are happy with the role they played in platforming and legitimizing this know nothing bigot propagandist.

That's a White Sox winner!

They've turned me into the Joker.

In December, SCOTUS stayed a district court ruling blocking TX from using its new maps because the lower court ruled "on the eve of an election." That district court ruling was issued 15 weeks before the TX primaries. Callais was issued *17 days* before the LA primaries.

Can we just pause for a second to acknowledge that the Times did an episode of The Daily with Rufo eight months AFTER he just lied through his teeth about pet eating Haitians? bsky.app/profile/seth...

They've turned me into the Joker.
