Is this winning, because I feel like it isn't and FauxNews told me there'd be so much winning this next Trump term that I wouldn't be able to take it anymore??? 🥴
Something tells me that by the time this is all over with, we're going to need another "reconstruction" type era to restore and strengthen govt in the aftermath of this administration and what Republicans have wrought. They can't govern because they have zero interest in bettering people's lives...
And we can thank the Roberts court for all of this. Because it used to be that a pardon cannot be used for corrupt intentions. And while that is still tech true, in practice the Roberts court has made it all but impossible to even determine (investigate) if corrupt intentions came into play.

I would not be surprised if we see wide scale pardoning. But while a pardon may be a get out of jail free card here, it has no bearing on anything the ICC might do. And the U.S. should hand over anyone that finds themselves charged by the ICC, including Trump.

“A group of new accounts on the prediction market Polymarket made highly specific, well-timed bets on whether the U.S. and Iran would reach a ceasefire on April 7, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits for these new customers”
They stood up to the "great Satan" and had virtually every talking point of theirs confirmed by us + Israel attacking them calling it a "holy war." And everything we bombed is going to be replaced with the $$ Iran is going to make off the strait traffic. So in their eyes this was probably success.
Yeah that ain't ever going to happen. The WH is likely going to claim executive privilege and that'll tie up any testimony in the court for the remainder of his term, if Dems were to challenge it.
I'm an OG 'Schumer has to go' guy & Jeffries is the first since Pelosi. So not sure what you're talking about???
Jeffries is very intelligent, but he doesn't have the charm slash "it" factor people like Newt Gingrich or a Nancy Pelosi had. I never ever had to worry about the caucus under Nancy...
It's crazy. We are living through arguably one of the top 3 most historic times in our country's history, and "silent" or "MAGA Marie" is all anyone will remember when they think of @gluesenkampperez.house.gov decades from now. Not the hill I would have chosen to die on, but it's a hill nonetheless.
Liberals now have significant majorities on all three "Blue Wall" state supreme courts: 5-2 in Wisconsin, 5-2 in Pennsylvania, 6-1 in Michigan.
Their latest win, tonight in Wisconsin, is a romp: Chris Taylor leads by about 20 points, having so far flipped 15+ counties that went for Trump in 2024.
Chris Taylor won Kenosha County, the site of Rittenhouse’s massacre & a county that Trump won 3 times.
Last year, Susan Crawford won 10 counties won by Donald Trump in 2024. Chris Taylor is on track to win at least 24 (!) of those Trump-won counties.
Another Dem win in Wisconsin:
In traditionally red WOOD COUNTY, voters reelected a county judge who was appointed by Democratic Governor Tony Evers.
Emily Nolan-Plutchak, the winner, is a longtime public defender. She defeated a Republican DA.
M4L candidates took over the school board after the COVID-19 pandemic, running on a platform of being anti-vaccine mandates. But then they started doing even dumber shit, like banning books and forbidding faculty from teaching 21st Century history. We have had enough of these games.
I am ecstatic. All three of the Moms for Liberty backed candidates lost in my local school board election tonight. Even this deep red Waukesha County, WI community doesn't like conservative politics in our schools. 🇺🇸🏫🗳
It's happened: Wisconsin Republicans' mighty suburban WOW wall is now breached.
Chris Taylor, the liberal candidate for supreme court, actually carried Ozaukee County today.
(Flashback to last decade: Romney won here by 30%.)
Oof..this is making me so emotional. Thank you to all my fellow Wisconsinites and others who helped us.
Janet Protaseiwicz, Rebecca Dallet, Jill Karofsky (our chief justice), Chris Taylor, and Susan Crawford.
