So much false equivalence in the media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps were approved by the voters. The voters had no say in Texas. That is a big difference.

STATEMENT: VIRGINIANS VOTE YES, RESHAPE THE FIGHT FOR THE U.S. HOUSE Richmond, Va. — Virginians for Fair Elections Campaign Manager Kéren Charles Dongo released the following statement after voters approved the redistricting referendum: "Tonight, Virginia voters chose to fight back against Trump's effort to rig congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. In a special election with a single question and no statewide candidates on the ballot, millions of Virginians showed up — at levels that rival a general election — to defend fair representation. That is a remarkable statement about what was at stake. The impact is immediate. The new maps, passed by the General Assembly and signed by Governor Spanberger, will now be in effect. At a moment when Donald Trump directed Republican legislatures across the country to redraw their maps to lock in a House majority before voters had their say, Virginia just changed the battlefield. The path to retaking the U.S. House of Representatives is fundamentally different tonight because Virginians chose to act. This campaign was built in just five months — overcoming nearly $40 million spent on spreading MAGA lies and misinformation to confuse voters, navigating unprecedented legal challenges to stop Virginians from having a say, and asking voters to grapple with a complex issue for our democracy. But in the end, voters cut through the noise, made their voices heard, and voted YES. We are deeply grateful to every Virginian who voted, volunteered, donated, and stood up in this moment. Tonight belongs to them."

I had a mandatory gynecologist exam going into the Army. There was a long line of young women in paper gowns getting assembly line style exams. Talk about “invasive” felt like the doc (old guy) was looking for my tonsils. Tired of hearing from these weak and whiny men about their personal freedoms!

🤞🤞

Hypocrisy is how I spell Republican!!

If they don't have the same rules for Donald Trump as they do Eric Swalwell, this isn't about accountability.
You may want to let them know this.

You too can fight the oligarchs' wars and come home and live in a cardboard box.

Rachel Maddow just played this video of Jon Ossoff talking about Trump crime family grifter Jared Kushner. Ossoff is Maddow's guest tonight. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

We need to vote in huge numbers this fall. Don't let anyone discourage you or scare you away from voting.

Buckle up. I think we are going to see the hardest fought midterm in decades. Republicans are in panic mode. Heck - we are all in panic mode. And we should be. We have a dementia patient leading us - off a cliff.

Good luck with that.

As opposed to Republicans actively destroying the country and killing people?
What is it you want? What are you willing to do to achieve that?
I get the inequality and I understand anger at the system. But spending life angry or expecting someone else to provide what you want solves nothing!

And what are you personally doing to help change things? Is there a personal responsibility component?

Hold your breath until all of that happens! That will be as useful as not voting democrat.

Because one would have to be drunk to work for this dirt bag!!
Also seriously - someone is resigning over an affair - in this administration??? I thought adulterer was a requirement for Trumpy!

"He’s not actually a great politician. We saw in 2018—anytime he’s in office and people are paying attention to him, the Republicans lose." trib.al/njXCyOJ

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.

He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.
