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.
Texas republicans illegally gerrymandered their maps and never once asked voters how they feel about it.
California and Virginia let voters decide.
That’s the difference. They started this fight and Democrats are going to fucking finish it.
"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now
The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.
These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.
Any AUSAs who agree to take on this case, any AUSAs who oversee them, and any USA/DAG who chooses to lead them should never find employment as lawyers again.
(Except obv the oligarchs will find sinecures for some--but not all--of them. Accountability and billionaires are too often incompatible.)
Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.
No, but I'm definitely in favor of letting women play in women's sports
The GOP could, of course, propose a national gerrymandering ban in the House tomorrow and it would pass with veto-proof majorities.
So, you know, if they don't like it, there's a solution.
From my perspective, I think gerrymandering is bad, but I read these sorts of retaliatory gerrymandering efforts as an attempt to force a kind of nation-wide gerrymandering mutual disarmament, which is certainly the outcome I would want to see.
How can the supreme court rule against a constitutional amendment
"Court documents show Trump knew he was going to tear down the East Wing at least two months before doing so, but he never told the public."
BALDWIN: Do you think NIH should fund less cancer research?
RFK Jr: No, they should fund more, & one of the few agencies that got a raise in the budget was NCI
B: That increase is less than $1m for an institute with a $7b budget. That's a .01% increase. It wouldn't even cover one additional grant
WE DON'T LIKE HIM EITHER DUDES POINT THAT SHIT AT X OKAY
Now prosecute her. And anyone else who got in ethics trouble by doing crimes.
Resigning isn't enough. Whatever party you're in.
NEW: A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that key actions Trump took to delay solar and wind projects across the U.S. were illegal (me for @heatmap.news)
Armed 'No Kings' counter-protester in Tenn. faces new charges, including child porn www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...
Worried about how to make butter when demons are attacking? That's EVIL DEAD CHURN
It is precisely this reason that Trump didn't go in '17, '18, '19, or last year.
That he was unwilling to humble himself or reaffirm the important role of the press *in criticizing him* is a clear testament that he is unfit to be the leader of a free people (ignored by the voters, alas).
Well...this is one hell of a problem.
If anyone wants to try this again with the next MAGA bootlicker, first question:
“Did Kamala Harris lose the 2024 election?”
They will jump at the chance to say yes. These toads HAVE to.
Then the 2020 question.
Epstein wasn’t a financial consultant
He trafficked in young girls and used compromising information to extort money
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
RFK Jr. is testifying to a House committee.
Dem Rep. Diana DeGette tangling with him over cuts to family planning services.
"The secretary refuses to tell the American women whether he will let poor women used the contraception method of their choice."
"Let the record also reflect: It is 2026."
I'm pretty confident the sky is made of pudding
For the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and to restore and preserve the freedom our forefathers fought and died for, the War Department will DISCARD AND REJECT the woke prohibition on shitting in our drinking water. AMERICANS SHIT WHERE WE WILL.
Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."
Disqualifying
Billions of people will celebrate this asshole's death.
Journalists planning to honor Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner have a choice:
A. Party with the dictator, wear fancy clothes and network to boost their careers.
B. Stand up for democracy by staying home.
They’re going to choose A. It looks terrible now. It will look worse to history.
