I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

*ugh wiping the FLOOR

Because he’s being positioned as the adult in the room who has kept his head down while quietly wiping the pants with Trump in court.

Viktor Orbán created the global blueprint for authoritarian populism and became a MAGA hero. Today, Hungarian voters sent him packing after 16 years in power.

There is nothing inevitable about these guys. Organize. Vote. Fight back. It works.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

Harrison: I worked with one of the greatest of all time—Nancy Pelosi. We would never bring a bill to the floor without knowing whether we had the votes.

Mike Johnson just brings bills to the floor without knowing whether he has the votes, because he doesn’t lead his caucus—they lead him.

We can’t take care of kids, we’ve got a war to fight!

The whole Iran war is looking more and more like a gimmick to drop energy sanctions on Russia and pressure Europeans to do the same. A war to make Russia’s much larger war easier and possible to sustain.

Anything less than a 9-0 unambiguous affirmation of birthright citizenship as settled law that cannot be changed except by Amendment is properly understood as an assault by those Justices on the foundation of American values, law, and government. To even humor this shows the institution has failed.

on today of all days please remember that dirty deleting posts will not stop the secret service from knocking on your door. do not get the group chat or discord server subpoenaed.

Looking forward to the Pope telling him he got everything wrong.

There are a whole bunch of reasons to turn out for #nokings tomorrow but here are maybe the top two:

1) huge turnout is a signal to republicans edging away from Trump and puts steel in Dem spines.

2) least we can do to honor bravery of Minnesotans who turned the tide

This eyewitness account of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire always brings me to tears

Pretty fascinating that the only two Inspectors General that Trump didn't fire are the guy who covered up the deletion of secret service text messages on January 6th (Joseph Cuffari) and the guy who investigated the death of Jeffrey Epstein (Michael Horowitz).

stealing this when the time comes (plz be soon)

we're supposed to believe the Trump administration has spent more than a year doing a mass deportation of the worst of the worst criminals, but also there are sleeper cells of undocumented Iranians in the country that constitute a grave national security threat. the math ain't mathing.

Sadly, an angry ex has long been a common cause of deportation/family separation, which DHS encourages when promoting the ICE Tip Line on social media.

Abusers, employers, and landlords also use it as a threat or a get out of jail free card for domestic violence or when workers get hurt on the job.

🙏

So this is what a Trump bankruptcy feels like.

just a thought: no movement should ever depend so completely on the reputation of its chosen figurehead that one of its founders is forced to make a calculation like this on behalf of its survival

'The New American Gothic', Oil on Canvas by Criselda Vásquez

The unemployment rate for 16 to 24 year-olds has been above 10% and rising for six months, and the share of unemployed workers out of a job for six months or more hasn’t been this bad since 2009.

Allegations of a Child Pinched, a Dog Custody Dispute, Mean Texts: Inside a Texas Candidate's Bitter Divorce A judge ruled the candidate can return home after her primary race in March as court records show a bitter divorce battle unfolding in South Texas

She’s also accused of abusing her step daughter. Trash all around.

Rep. Monica De La Cruz (R TX-15) paraded these boys around the White House and then did nothing when they were detained.

The 18 year old turned 18 last month, so he’s separated from his mom and siblings since he’s an “adult.”

They have an active asylum case. Detained at court.

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
