The right gambled, tried to rig the election, lost, and now it’s excuses and tears.
Thanks for everything, Virginia. 🙏🏽

it is so telling that referendum was up to the voters in Virginia and California, but not Texas. Here they just did it. They wouldn't put it up to a vote. Tonight it really looks like cowardice.
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!!!! 😭
Beats being governed out of Moscow, Russia, which is how this country is ruled now!
one of the single most important bursts of legislative activity in the nation's history happened because the governing party did not hesitate to remove their opponents from congress itself when they had the opportunity. 🤷🏿♂️
if there is a path to either national nonpartisan redistricting or proportional representation, it is going to go through one party or another. but the first step toward it actually happening is for that party to win power, and you go to war with the system you have, not the one you want.
but the fact of the matter is that with the notable exception *of* the mid to late 20th century, every major change in our political system and government has been a partisan or ideological political project.
one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus
This is a senator L. Louise Lucas appreciation post
Took what over? It’s still run by the same regime.
If they don't have the same rules for Donald Trump as they do Eric Swalwell, this isn't about accountability.
You may want to let them know this.
This is incredibly frustrating. We have been paying the tariffs passed along to the consumers for over a year. But the companies that paid the tariffs at the clearing house will reap the return of tariffs as profit.
Just do not believe the companies are going to pass that $$ back to us.
Oh YES
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
This and the like 10% of approval of Vladimir Putin doesn’t make sense to me. Because if most republicans actually had these positions then they’d be calling on half of this administration to be impeached, removed and imprisoned.
Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli
It hurtz and humbling to say... No Lies Detected... 👇
John Oliver on the dark side of gambling, Donny Jr. deeply involved in the prediction market industry as an investor and adviser to the two largest firms, Polymarket and Kalshi…and a fairly brilliant wrap up!
Fuck ICE. Love the rainbow.
A president should not be allowed to announce government policies or decisions on a platform that he owns.
I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.
I wish we had an easier way to do a vote of no confidence than impeachment.
I don’t think it’s just he’s avoiding the Epstein files. I think he out of this goddamn mind.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
😂🙃
I think this is kinda where I’m at too. I feel like Ossoff could be great, but worry that we’re going to try and make him Obama which he is not 😅 I also wonder if there’s a chance at all we could have a candidate work outside of a normal government background 🤔 as people want change…
trump ‘diplomacy’ 101
Fox News is calling this the most decisive and important war America has ever fought
They are complete morons
Just In: Tiger Woods is eyed as next FBI Director.
