The WaPo editorial board when Republicans gerrymander in Texas versus when Democrats gerrymander in Virginia.

If (and it's a big "if") we survive the Trump Regime, it will be because of women like #AOC, who are not afraid to go toe-to-toe with the Men who would Oppress them, like RFK Jr.

I'm with Team AOC !!!

MAGA Inc, where record unpopularity among voters translates directly into record slush fund cash for campaigning

A Republican dark money group blankets Virginia with deceptive mailers ahead of redistricting vote Ads targeting Black voters compare Virginia's redistricting referendum to Jim Crow.

Beginning in March, ads targeting Black voters compared Virginia’s redistricting referendum to Jim Crow.

The mailers were sent by a little-known group that received $9 million in donations from Peter Thiel, the PayPal and Palantir co-founder who is a longtime mentor of J.D. Vance.

“Feud with the Pope” is BACK as a likely Wikipedia section heading after a 400-year gap.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Traders placed over $1bn in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war. What is going on? Suspicious wagers on the US-Israel war in Iran are creating huge windfalls and raising concerns among lawmakers

1/3. And this is one more reason the war goes on in some form — people close to Trump are making money from it.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

WE Pay for

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.

Apparently like every day.

I suggest Exodus 20: 1-17.

Will he be able to pronounce and enunciate all the words? I wonder if he'll find a verse to rival Hegseth's.

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Happy Tax Day folks. As I pointed out here, the technical arguments about having free tax filing is over. Direct File proved it. What we are seeing now is just rent-seekers bribing policymakers to be allowed to keep extracting money from you.

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.

Every once in a while, I like to watch this video clip of Joe Biden comforting a grieving Parkland family to remind myself what compassionate leadership looks like.

This is the stuff I truly miss.

Yep.

He's a believer, and yet didn't recognize the symbolism? He thinks that's what doctors look like? His ignorance and mental decline is in full technicolor display, and we're supposed to shrug it off?

EVERYONE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THIS:

Conflict of interest doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Chad Bianco really seized over 650,000 ballots based on conspiracy theories that don’t even hold up to basic scrutiny. No credible fraud. No real discrepancy.

Hungary's prime minister elect announcing that Orbán was funding CPAC and other Trump-related political activities (also Heritage Foundation's Project 2025), and this will now end.

CISA was created by Trump in his first term to counter cyber threats in the aftermath of Russia's efforts to influence the 2016 vote. It soon came to provide crucial expertise and support to thousands of local election officials grappling with increasingly sophisticated attacks. After the 2020 election, it also played a crucial part in puncturing fallacies spread by Trump supporters, producing a "Rumor Control" website to rebut them. And it partnered with state officials and technology vendors to release a statement calling the election "the most secure in American history." Trump swiftly fired Chris Krebs, whom he had appointed to lead CISA, but Krebs' defense of the election's soundness reverberated widely in the media and on Capitol Hill. Among Trump's first actions upon returning to the Oval was eviscerating CISA.

"Twitter Files" bs provided the pretext.

Victor Orbán is a horrible person, but at least he had the decency to immediately concede defeat.

Donald Trump, an even worse person, *still* hasn’t conceded defeat—SIX YEARS LATER!

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here

he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor

and still, they threw him out

and you know what? they did it by voting

don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter
