Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.
This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.
All crookery all the time
If anyone took the Emoluments Clause seriously, he could have been impeached on Day one of his first term
It also desperately needs to be about STRUCTURAL change. Major court reform, voting rights, DC statehood, confiscatory taxing of billionaires…
At this point, it should be standard procedure for all journalists to treat everything that comes out of his mouth as a lie or exaggeration until proven otherwise.
Great read
I know JD Vance is new to this game, but FYI this is the way
Americans elected the only new yorker alive who has never set foot in a bodega bsky.app/profile/atru...
I think there are two key takeaways for Americans from Peter Magyar’s ouster of Orbán:
1. We must rally overwhelmingly behind the 2028 Dem nominee
2. We have to be ready to send people to prison if we win

TRUMP, throwing insults at Pope Leo:
“weak on crime”
“terrible for foreign policy”
“catering to the Radical Left”
“owes his position to me”
“sit down and mind your own business”
POPE LEO, unbothered:
“We are called to love.”
Excellent
Ah yes, only “the worst of the worst”
Fuck ICE
This is the fundamental difference in the way the two parties operate. There is no both sides false equivalence to be found
DOGE turbocharged the deficit.

When you add it all up, the collapse in immigration looks like this: a decline of roughly 50K for illegal (even including the people arrested and not released) and a decline of about 132K for legal. Over 70% of the cut in immigration has come from LEGAL immigration.

i think people have forgotten that vance is quite possibly the least experienced person to *ever* serve as vice president of the united states
US President Donald Trump says the US Navy would immediately start blockading the Strait of Hormuz and would also interdict every vessel in international waters that had paid a toll to Iran. https://aje.news/x545rk
We have entered the “you can’t kill me if I commit suicide” phase of American Decline

Post from Dale Partridge claiming nobody wants to live in diverse neighborhoods
I quite happily live in a neighborhood where most people do not share my religion, where multiple languages are represented, and where people have come from a lot of different countries.
Bigoted assholes always assume everyone else actually shares their bigotries.
(🚨) BREAKING: Negotiations in Pakistan have concluded for today with no agreement.
Confirming that they're negotiating in bad faith, Trump said today that he doesn't care what happens in Pakistan and his war-crime partner Netanyahu says he'll keep attacking Iran no matter what.
the reality of his war uncomfortably intruded on the carefully cultivated false reality he has created for himself and his supporters and he is desperately trying to reconstruct new boundaries for his false reality to prevent the actual reality of his loss from spilling in.
I remember someone saying that it was a "slippery slope" if we just threw Trump in jail when Biden was in office. Uh no. We're at the bottom of the fucking hill. The slippery slope is what got us here, jerk
Hungary is having an Orban regime change concert ahead of their election & I must say — “Still D.R.E.” is a banger in every language
Donald Trump is a convicted criminal.
His administration is a criminal enterprise.
Incredible, LONG thread getting DEEP in the weeds of the Vance/MAGA type new Catholic converts’ antics and how the new Pope is having absolutely NONE of it:
The "duped voter" narrative is a comforting myth. If only we had better messaging.
The reality is tens of millions of voters looked at a platform of mass deportation, ethnic cleansing, state violence, and the dismantling of civil rights, clearly understood it, and said, "Yes, that is what I want."
