Today is a good day for democracy 💥
Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, and Mike Johnson tried to rig midterms… and still took the L.
Virginia voters understood the assignment. They saw it for what it was and obliterated it.
Sidney Blumenthal & Sean Wilentz discussed Melania Trump's recent press conference on "The Court of History" They speculated that she must know something is about to be revealed about her ties to Epstein, otherwise she wouldn't have felt compelled to make some of the statements that she did
BREAKING: YES! Decision Desk calls it.
LOL
JUST IN: A federal judge has tossed a defamation lawsuit Kash Patel brought against former FBI official / pundit Frank Figliuzzi.
Figliuzzi’s claim that Patel spent more time in nightclubs than at FBI HQ was “rhetorical hyperbole,” the judge rules.

Lemme get this straight
A civil rights group is being criminally charged for paying informants to get info about the KKK & neo-Nazis that was then shared with law enforcement?
That's basically what the FBI does!
Should they prosecute themselves?

JUST IN: FBI Dir Kash Patel loses libel suit he filed against former FBI agent Frank Figliuzzi for saying Patel "reportedly" has been "visible at nightclubs far more" than at FBI HQ. Judge George Hanks (Obama/TXSD) says it was "rhetorical hyperbole." Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.
Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.
Oh well. Good job Virginia!!
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
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
You can have no rage, Republicans, when you lit the fuse.
You just got outplayed
TACO Trump now signaled he will never restart the war. Iran can do as it pleases. Watch him take down the sanctions in exchange for reopening the Strait.
Seems like Trump’s only path. He walks away. Pretends he won. Tries to change the subject.
Trump is within sight of an under 30% overall approval rating.
One of the most important causes right now is to establish a media narrative and popular support behind severe punishments and consequences to our present criminals running things.
Trump's approval rating on economy sinks to all time low of 30%.

The interesting thing about the current dynamic is that Trump said he would extend the ceasefire indefinitely, and Iran’s response was basically “fuck you, we’re winning”
They also threatened retaliation for any more vessels seized… which we just did.
I asked X, Paramount, ABC, and Meta where their donations to Trump's Presidential Library went. None of them could give a clear answer.
Tens of MILLIONS of dollars are missing.
Why should Americans trust that this money isn’t going straight into Donald Trump’s pockets?
The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.
Did Kash Patel read his own lawsuit?
When asked why he was locked out of his computer — as The Atlantic reported and Patel *admitted* in his lawsuit — Patel denied it happened: "I was never locked out of my systems," he just claimed.
What his lawsuit says: buff.ly/JTRuZKf

The Justice Department on Tuesday charged the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights group that has long tracked hate groups, with financial crimes, accusing the organization of fraud in secretly paying informants in extremist organizations.
For those of you who arrived at your polling station and are still waiting in live to vote for fair election maps in Virginia. Stay in line. The cutoff time is 7pm, but if you got there before that then you still get to vote.
Do not leave until you’ve had a chance to vote!

Nate Cohn on VA referendum:
"Most of the results so far come from heavily Republican areas; nothing has been reported at all from Fairfax County and Richmond, two of the state’s populous Democratic strongholds. Where the count is complete, 'Yes' has been running well enough to prevail."
Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is.
The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.

The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.
Correct.
POTUS Obama sent the most experienced,expert negotiating team ever sent on a diplomatic mission for the US ... not a single nuclear expert in Trump's negotiating team. Just ... his son-in-law, a real estate operator & JD Vance - @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social 5/
Iran put that in writing & signed that 11 ys ago, & one of the 1st things Trump did as POTUS was to rip that up Now he is begging Iran to agree to exactly those words once again. POTUS Obama did not threaten to commit war crimes in Iran to achieve that agreement - @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social 4/
The deal Trump ripped up in the 1st year of his presidency, the deal John Kerry negotiated, the deal POTUS Obama agreed to, the deal Iran agreed to, says on pg 3: Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek develop or acquire any nuclear weapons - @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social 3/
US negotiating partners were CH, RU, FR, UK & GE, an unprecedented alliance brought together by POTUS Obama. Trump has no negotiating partners w/ ... not one. Trump told this lie about the deal that Kerry negotiated: "It was a guaranteed road to a nuclear weapon" - @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social 2/
