Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
Kash Patel's FBI assigns agents to investigate @nytimes.com reporter who broke story about Kash making his staff protect his girlfriend. Another brazen violation of the 1st Amentment.
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!!!! 😭
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.
May Day has been declared a day of civic action in Chicago schools, which means buses will be provided for students and educators to join the rally in Union Park.
What the American "drug war" looks like on the ground: Ecuadorian fishermen were attacked in a double drone strike, arrested at gupoint, taken to El Salvador and then finally released.

They think you're stupid.
I think the gerrymandering race to the bottom is genuinely bad and undemocratic and unfortunately what the dems are doing is the least bad of the bad options available.
If Republicans could just run the government competently while they control the presidency, house and senate, they wouldn’t have to worry about gerrymandering, SAVE Act, or any other efforts to rig the midterms. Maybe the Iran War will save them since voters love it so much.
The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.
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!!
VA redistricting passes, which should add 4 more Dem seats. Trump started the mid-decade redistricting effort by pushing Texas to do in June 2025 when many Republicans felt it could backfire on them.
It has.
I have opposed gerrymandering every single time it has come up. It’s a perversion of the political process. I voted Yes in this election without hesitation. Unilateral disarmament is unacceptable.
What is funny is California. The Dems preserved GOP seats in 2000 to avoid super majority and the GOP returns the favor with a non-partisan redistricting commission. Neutral redistricting wiped them out so they sued. Then the recent vote happened, further obliterating them.
Al Gore:
“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”
Palantir's 'manifesto' has been described as an 'AI-driven threat to humanity's existence' and 'technofascism'.
Trump just issued a last-minute warning to Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting referendum tomorrow, he will lose power:
“If the Democrats get additional seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”
🧵 White House issued a Christian nationalist proclamation:
"Together, we will honor Holy Scripture, renew our faith, usher in a historic resurgence of religion on American shores, and rededicate the United States as one Nation under God."
Why is this dangerous?

🚨 Trump claims a U.S. Navy destroyer intercepted an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman—and says U.S. forces “blew a hole in the engine room” after the crew refused orders—adding the vessel is now in U.S. custody.
If true, that’s a direct military strike despite a supposed ceasefire.
A bombshell new report reveals that top military officials have kept Trump out of the room during Iran war operations because they fear his erratic behavior will put troops in harm’s way.

Joseph Schwartz’s case is the latest in a string of health care fraud pardons by Trump.
The president also granted clemency to nursing home magnate Philip Esformes, convicted of a $1.3B scheme, and Judith Negron, convicted in a $200M fraud case.
Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.
She missed these trials by a few months.
One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here.
I feel such a hole inside.
In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.
Win or lose, there remains a real measure of promise and decency in America that is worth the fight. And win or lose, there is no dignity for any of us unwilling to have that fight.
Yikes! Always something…
We better wake up to what’s happening online. The right isn’t just posting anymore; they’re scaling influence with AI.
📌 AI-generated pro-Trump “influencers” are surging on social media and are starting to shape what people see and believe.
Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.
