there are going to be people who say, take a wait and see approach to how the Court will treat the next Dem president
and those people are wrong, we know exactly how they will treat that person and it is the polar opposite of how they treat Trump
strike at them immediately, first order of business
I really want a senator, rather than explaining the math, to just say "We all know what's going on here, Mr. Secretary. Trump said a moronic thing and now everyone in the administration, including you, has to pretend it's real. You know it isn't real. But you can't say that because you're a coward."
Anyone who shows up for this travesty is knowingly choosing to act as a prop for authoritarian kabuki because they’re too cowardly or amoral to pass up vapid schmoozing and free drinks. They deserve your contempt, and possibly a few pieces of rotting produce.
The coolest thing about solar energy is that you don't need to invade another country to go get it. GREENPEACE
seems like the smart play here is to just not attend it is just my opinion
"As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person..."
This hollow motherfucker. There's nothing inside but doubt, fear and rage. He lays down in the dark and knows he's a moronic, posturing shit. And every morn begins an epic battle to convince everyone otherwise.
It's mental illness.
Elizabeth Williamson once wrote about me, and I can attest she's a skilled, thorough, and honest reporter. If you're in the public eye, you should expect journalists to write about you—especially if you hold public office.
Kash Patel is pure garbage, even when he's sober.
If you're wondering why the Senate is in session at midnight tonight, it's because Republicans are trying to jam through at least $70 billion for ICE with no accountability.
$70 billion for ICE. $0 to help families. $0 to help lower costs.
What a disgrace. I'm voting NO.
Tim Walz on DHS officers who shot Minnesotans: "We're gonna bring them back and hold them accountable for what they did"
they are calling it the perfect summary of the "keep men out of women's sports" movement
The energy we need to send fascism back into hiding.

Retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson has revealed that Donald Trump wanted to use nuclear codes during a White House meeting on Saturday night. General Dan Cain, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stood up and said NO
This is the level of instability in the White House.
ELIZABETH WARREN: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?
KEVIN WARSH: Uhm, we try to keep politics if I'm confirmed out of the Federal Reserve
WARREN: I'm just asking a factual question
WARSH: I believe this body certified the election
WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking
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.
this man is pure evil.
Trumpy billionaire David Ellison is waiting for regulatory approval in his pursuit of a $110B deal for Paramount to purchase Warner Bros.
And he's throwing a swanky invite-only gala to honor Trump.

um wat
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
“What are you in for?”
“Felony bralessness”
These are all quotes from Frasier.
Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “The Texas gerrymander freak out. What’s happening in Texas is not a threat to democracy.”
Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss. The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it.”
The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas.
But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”
Oh my god.
Nothing subtle or complicated about what's happening. Did I mention the only refugees we're taking from the entire world are white people from South Africa?
If Republicans hate the CA and VA redistricting, they can thank the person responsible - Donald J. Trump.
None of it would’ve been possible without his leadership on this issue.
Don’t underestimate the backlash to Trump publicly ordering up a mid-decade redraw in Texas because Republicans are “entitled to five more seats.” And then getting it. That moment killed the (then still robust) Democratic resistance to maximal warfare with their own gerrymanders.
Trump thought he could steal the midterms by making MAGA minions rig the House maps.
They thought blue states would sit back and do nothing.
We proved them wrong. Thank you to VA Indivisibles and organizers across the commonwealth for this huge win and your commitment to protecting our democracy.
The national GOP tomorrow could easily pass a bill that bans gerrymandering and mandates competitive maps, but they won't. Instead they'll just lean into grievance and self-victimhood.
A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.
