The interesting thing about the way some Democratic states are going about the redistricting fight is that they're relying on referenda.

Which means the "they" that Donalds refers to here aren't lawmakers, but the majority of Virginia voters in this election.

Everybody wants to rule the words.

A tiny California tribe just donated $2 million to MAGA Inc. Here’s why. A case study on how everything has a price in Trump’s Washington.

Joan Baez - The President Sang Amazing Grace YouTube video by JoanBaezVEVO

I usually think about this song and video about once a year but with the daily onslaught of indignities and embarrassment from the current occupant of the Oval Office, it’s kind of been playing as an ambient soundtrack in my mind.

Agreed!!! I assume he’ll get behind the plan for Congress pass the Democrats’ bill to end partisan gerrymandering TODAY!!!

Good morning. Immigrants are #HereToStay.

That Tucker Carlson podcast where he apologized over Trump featured an extensive section where he and his brother, who used to work for Big Tobacco, denounced the push against it.

It’s been nearly 16 months and counting since Republicans gained control of the White House & Congress — and they still can't stop talking about President Biden!

It is time for Congress to get serious about serving the American people.

The Trump family turned the right's "Biden Crime Family" bullshit into a business plan. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

SPLC Union Logo: Yesterday, the Department of Justice leveled outrageous allegations at the Southern Poverty Law Center. In so doing, they maligned the integrity of the SPLC workers who have labored tirelessly for decades to expose the dangerous cruelty of extremists and hate groups in the United States.

SPLC Union Logo: This work is punishing. It takes a toll on our health and on our safety. But we persist because we believe in our mission to advance justice for all, and we believe that investigating, naming, and alerting the American people to the activities of those who seek to harm our neighbors is a moral imperative and an essential public service.

Today our colleagues are facing abuse and harassment from the far-right figures emboldened by this attack. But we will not be deterred, we will not be intimidated, and we will continue to name racism, sexism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and all hate for the blight that it is.

Below is a statement from the unionized workers of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
