A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.
Good Night, Bluesky! 🦋
The civil rights group has long been a target for conservative activists, who object to its characterisations.
“We were just working, waiting for the last trawler to return,” said Jhonny Sebastián Palacios, one of the fishers. “Everything was perfectly fine.”
From nowhere, an explosion ripped through the boat. “There was a sudden crash – boom! It came from a drone,” he said.
Ambitious figures are circling the throne as Trump’s control over the political landscape begins to slip.
The U.S. ambassador to Mexico had initially said that “two U.S. Embassy personnel” were the victims.
Trump thought he could steal the midterms by making MAGA minions rig the House maps.
They thought blue states would sit back and do nothing.
We proved them wrong. Thank you to VA Indivisibles and organizers across the commonwealth for this huge win and your commitment to protecting our democracy.
Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.
What looks like damage control in a one-off scandal is actually a strategy to do far more damage to democracy.
The result is what we saw this week: A defense secretary sermonizing with fake scripture while justifying a war. A president posting an image of himself as the Son of God. A White House issuing proclamations about the Bible while attacking the vulnerable in unimaginable ways.
It’s basically a conspiracy theorist’s way of saying, “Maybe Trump is a bulls–t artist.” That’s not a good place for Trump to be with his base — and there’s no obvious way for him to wrest back control of the narrative.
Virginia voters approved a constitutional amendment on Tuesday that would allow the state’s Democratic-controlled legislature to redraw congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterms.
DiGenova is a blast from the past, and not in a good way. You may remember him as a slightly more hinged, but no less aged, Rudy Giuliani, part of Trump’s “elite strike force team” challenging the 2020 election results.
The House Oversight Committee’s top Democrat, Rep. Robert Garcia of California, announced Tuesday that his party won’t participate in Chair James Comer’s sham hearing on the Epstein files.
It was tighter than what we’d want, but the important thing is that we won. Northern Virginia bailed out our asses yet again. Maybe next time the GOP shouldn’t alienate the people that work for the government in large numbers!
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York led the charge, highlighting the contradiction between Kennedy’s rhetoric and his recent policy decisions—specificially, sending billions to major health insurers he has previously accused of fraud. #AdvantagePlans #ScamPlans
Yet Republicans—who know the war Trump started is hurting them politically—fired up the rage machine and slammed Murphy as a pro-Iran traitor, in a naked effort to try to create a boogeyman and rally the GOP base.
Anyone with even half a brain knows his comment was facetious, a sarcastic retort to the fact that the dumb blockade Trump is attempting to carry out in the Hormuz Strait to pressure Iran to open the critical waterway isn’t working.
“This is the greatest equipment in the world that we’re deploying,” Duffy said. “And it makes the job of the air traffic controller that much easier. We’re going to use AI tools, but AI is not going to control the airspace.”
Wednesday is the big day when President Donald Trump’s two-week shambles of a ceasefire deal with Iran was supposed to expire. And as you can expect, the administration moved with all due haste to ensure that this needless war gets resolved.
