I am a North Carolina voter, and I approve this message.

I’d also note that NC Republicans have continued to work tirelessly since 2024 to make our state’s election process as unrepresentative—and as unfair—as they possibly can.

The shadow docket is the ultimate in corrupt process. I can see a Democratic president insisting that since no legal justification was given for these decisions they can properly be ignored.

Bush started talking about an ‘axis of evil’ in a way that was obviously self serving. Now, when referred so appropriately to Trump, the word ‘evil’ can convey less of the horror than it should. This shouldn’t prevent us from speaking about Trump in such cosmic terms, which he so supremely deserves.

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”

Guess the question becomes “how long can blatant lies remain profitable?”

If they settle, I think it's an impeachable offense for both him and the AG.

North Carolina election board’s GOP majority approves sharing voter data with DHS Voting rights advocates have long warned the SAVE system was not designed for voter list maintenance and can incorrectly flag eligible citizens.

🚨BREAKING: The North Carolina State Board of Elections’s Republican majority voted to move forward with using a federal immigration database to check the state’s voter rolls — an escalation in the board’s ongoing effort to scrutinize voter rolls that could put eligible voters at risk.

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

Yeah, it’s Trump = Jesus again.

Who is buying this? It’s as un-American as it un-Christian.

I feel like “a new originalist position” in itself more or less perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with American conservatism.

Yeah that’s Mike Johnson, the authority on Catholic tradition now “taken aback” by a Pope who has dared to challenge Republican justifications for crimes against humanity.

Vance says that stopping funding for Ukraine is one of his proudest achievements in this administration.

​I’m watching this stunningly cruel speech from Ukraine, as Russia continues to kills us every day. Just today, they killed 8-year-old boy in Cherkasy and five people in Dnipro.

Some people do use the wink method for turning pages though. If my face were more impassive when I played, this would work beautifully for me, but alas…

Doesn’t Israel have a national system of health care paid for by its government, something like Medicare for all? I wonder how they can afford this…

Again, the authoritarianism extremism of the American Republican Party far exceeds that of...Viktor Orban & Fidesz, who just immediately conceded an election without any of the shenanigans, coups, nonstop lies about nonexistent voter fraud, or endless litigation of the GOP after every US election.

None of these would be valid. No amount of exaggeration about the pardon power can overcome the express mandate to the President in Art II, Sec 3: "He shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." He can't pardon people for breaking the law on his behalf. Contrary arguments are invalid.

I want Democrats out there scaring the shit out of Americans about how insane and dangerous Trump is. I want them to say nonstop that they need to remove him from office and challenge Republicans to join them unless they don't love their country. Make it patriotic to want to get rid of Trump.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.”

After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

Absolutely…and it’s also the inevitable consequence of the new unitary executive theory that “conservatives” have been trying to sell us lately.

Did Trump Just Threaten to Use Nuclear Weapons in Iran? If such an order comes to pass, the military can and must refuse.

If Trump does give an order to attack civilian targets that have no military value as a means of collectively punishing the Iranian people - and make good his threat to begin a genocide - Marco Rubio should resign and the military must refuse the order.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

Exactly what I just said on the WH comment line when I finally got through after trying a dozen times.

How can this not be clear to Americans of either party?

How many people will need to call a R representative like my own (Harrigan, NC) before he will find it within himself to step into a place of integrity?
