The Origin of Student Debt: Reagan Adviser Warned Free College Would Create a Dangerous "Educated Proletariat” In 1970, Roger Freeman, who also worked for Nixon, revealed the right’s motivation for coming decades of attacks on higher education.

And now our systematic dumbing down and culture of anti-intellectualism has created the perfect conditions for where we are today.

Thanks Roger Freeman

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.

“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

National Brandon Day you say 🧐

Texas republicans illegally gerrymandered their maps and never once asked voters how they feel about it.

California and Virginia let voters decide.

That’s the difference. They started this fight and Democrats are going to fucking finish it.

Donald Trump and Republicans have tried to rig the 2026 midterms. Today in Virginia, voters sent them a clear message: The power is with the people.

GOP - *gerrymanders*

DEMS - hey stop that no fair

GOP - *gerrymanders even more*

DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue

SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely*

DEMS - *start gerrymandering*

GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭

it is very funny how these people are so accustomed to essentially bullying democratic politicians that they meltdown when met with appropriate pushback.

in any case, the process to amend the virginia constitution has multiple stages where, at any point, an amendment can be defeated.

Registered US voters were literally the ONLY group with ANY agency when it came to choosing whether VP Harris or trump was going the be POTUS.

Holding them blameless for the rather easily foreseeable yet tragic results of their actions or inaction is some pretzel logic horseshit.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Oh my! lol

Decision Desk HQ projects the VA Congressional Redistricting Referendum will Pass.

While No currently has the lead, based on the location and size of the remaining vote, Yes will take the lead as soon as the remaining counties report.

Cool.
So lots of soldiers living in close quarters will be getting sick.
That sounds like a good plan.

And I DON'T want to hear any crying about "But what if we can't vote in 2028?" because none of the people crying about voting rights disappearing in 2026 gave a hoot about voting rights before. Student loans, Gaza, protesting and not voting with your vagina was much more important so live with it.

Young Democrats with National profiles worth listening to:

Malcolm Kenyatta.
James Talarico.
Jasmine Crockett (she'll be back)
Jon Ossoff.
Robert Garcia.

And most of all (because she doesn't get nearly enough attention):

Lauren Underwood, Lauren Underwood, and Lauren Underwood.

Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick Resigns The congresswoman stepped down just hours before the Ethics Committee was set to announce sanctions against her.

It’s for the best. Now get that fucking psychopath Cory Mills out.

Couple of errors here:

1) Garland didn't do "fuck all with it". He was an institutionalist. He rigidly stuck to procedure, at the cost of speed.

2) You might recall that it was the Supreme Court that then stepped in and gave Trump immunity from acts he takes as Preisdent.

Trump DOJ falsely tells court it doesn't want voter data to purge rolls Agreements suggest DOJ is not just reviewing voter rolls, but attempting to identify problems and directing states, under deadline, to remove voters.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice told a federal court Tuesday that it does not intend to use sensitive voter data it collects to remove people from voter rolls — even as its own agreements with states suggest otherwise. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump just accidentally filmed a campaign ad for Democrats. He told Virginia voters that if they pass fair redistricting maps, the GOP will lose the House and Democrats will actually pass legislation. Don’t threaten us with a good time, Donald.

We have to stay focused on what is in front of us.

We must win the midterms. But we must also have a vision for when we are in power to address childcare, housing, and health care and make life more affordable.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

Calling a Democrat a Do Nothing, to support a Berniecrat who has never held elective office, and thus has literally Done Nothing in politics, is 🚩 🚩 🚩

It’s not complicated at all!

Bernie Sanders then: Millyanaires and Billyanaires are bad and need to get out of our politics!!!

Bernie Sanders now: Go vote for that Billyanaire for California governor!

The media blackout of Jared Kushner’s historic, ongoing corruption scandal As Trump's son-in-law returns to Pakistan for more talks with Iran, major news outlets are largely ignoring an egregious conflict of interest.

This is why you should absolutely not watch CNN ABC NBC CBS MSNOW- O'Donnell is watchable.

Tom Steyer stole campaign data from Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders stole campaign data from HRC. So the Our Revolution endorsement of Tom Steyer definitely tracks.

Wow:

More Corruption from the felon.

Well, at least the BBC is covering this.

Man kills 8 children and shoots his wife and another woman in Shreveport, Louisiana Officials and relatives say a man killed eight children, including seven of his own, and shot two women in two homes in Shreveport, Louisiana.

AGAIN, the most dangerous time for women is when it's over with men. Men who are led by emotion and violence. Transcends race. We have a violent man problem.

"Elkins and his wife were in the process of separating and had been due in court Monday"
