Wow!
While this period of extreme gerrymander that Trump initiated is more than disturbing, the voters of Virginia are only trying to level the playing field.
My concern is how do we recover from all the damage done by the Trump administration.
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.
The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.
The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” was never meant to be used to issue fast, often unexplained rulings without full briefing or argument.
This is a fixable problem, one I’ve already drafted legislation to bring transparency and accountability to the Court. Now it’s time to bring it to the floor.
It must be much worse. Her IG, my former congressman, is total MAGA. I feel confident that he would have covered it up if he could have.
Genius.
Technically she resigned.
The investigation must have revealed some really bad stuff though because her IG, my former congressman, is a total MAGA guy. I feel confident he would have covered it up if he could have.
John Roberts’ Wife Made Millions From Bribes
Roberts accepted $10 Million in bribes disguised as recruiting fees from Law firms with cases pending before the Supreme Court.

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.
Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.
If Dems retake either house, they must launch an investigation into this. There's no easier way to highlight the corruption of this era and to establish that Dems are committed to fighting it.
Pretty sure @wyden.senate.gov and Maxine Waters would be the chairs to do it.
Josh Rogin: “Somebody shorted the oil market today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement—
If you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that's happened at least three times, if not more, since the war began — that's a pattern”
Trump: “Nobody’s laughing!”
World: “If we’re not laughing it’s because we’re horrified and disgusted.”
1/The Justice Department has moved to drop the last remaining January 6 insurrection criminal matters: the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys seditious conspiracy cases. Trump commuted their sentences when he returned to office, which got them out of prison, but it didn’t erase their convictions.
On May 1, 1989 Trump took out full-page ads in 4 NYC papers calling for the return of the death penalty & said he wanted the ''criminals of every age'' who were accused of beating & raping a jogger in Central Park 12 days earlier ''to be afraid.'' The ads cost him $85K.
The 5 were later exonerated!
On this day in 1989, NYPD officers arrested five teenagers—four of whom were Black and one of whom was Latino—subjected them to coercive interrogation, and charged them with rape despite their innocence. All were sentenced to 5-13 years.
DOJ seeks to vacate insurrectionists’ convictions, while going after a former CIA Director: If Trump can make convictions disappear for allies while prosecuting critics, the damage isn’t just theoretical. Once that line is crossed, it doesn’t easily uncross itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Your profile pic is lovely.
Our peonies are darker in color. This pic is from a prior year. Up here in NY our peonies are weeks away from blooming.
The effective federal corporate income tax rate:
1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%
Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.
That is how we will pay for it.
Can’t wait to hear about the new “peace deal” Monday around 7:30 AM before the markets open.
Do you think she can be elected governor?
My husband and I loved watching her at congressional hearings.
I’m with you on the left of left of left.
I had to Google that. Good choice, but the article says the pre-recorded verse will be from the Old Testament.
It’s been pre-recorded. Seems like cheating.
The article says it’s a verse from the Old Testament.
It’s been recorded so they could give him as many attempts as necessary to get it right.
I wonder if it’s a short verse.
He can.
He reads from the teleprompter, not well, but he reads.
He must have some learning disability. He doesn’t read anything like books, articles, briefing memos, etc.
It’s telling that he recorded the Bible verse. Who knows how many attempts it took for him to get it right.
I read something not so favorable about Mills yesterday too.
I thought Platner was good initially, quite some time ago.
Now I’m confused, but ultimately Collins needs to go.
