“The six-day poll of over 4000 Americans shows that across party lines Americans are concerned about Trump’s ‘job performance, temper, and mental sharpness’ with the Iran war and the attacks on Pope Leo playing into their decisions.”

look, republicans set the rules of engagement that literally any bureaucratic trick is fair game and they just never thought dems would agree to those terms

Mississippi goddamn. If it ain't always Mississippi. It's been damn confederate heritage month for the down there.

Another war Trump started and lost

the conservative reaction to the virginia results remind me quite a bit of their reaction to the 2012 presidential election, where they were offended that democrats ran to win

That's the point. It's always been the point.

My hometown of Nashville -- a blue city which went about two-thirds for Harris-Walz in 2024 -- was gerrymandered by the TN GOP into three different districts all represented by Republicans now, so please get in line to complain about how unfair this all is, Virginia Republicans

BREAKING: Dems Remember They Can Play Hardball, Too Virginia voters decide turnabout is fair play—at least for four years.

Trump fought to keep the ballroom fundraising contract secret. Here’s what’s in it. The agreement governing hundreds of millions in private donations was kept secret until a watchdog group sued and a judge ordered it disclosed.

Spoiler: It's as corrupt as you thought.

Gift link.

MTG walked across the one red line MAGA said could never be crossed. She questioned the Butler mythology. The electric fence was off. That is Stage 4. You are watching it.

Just like Black people are "hardworking taxpayers," we are "disillusioned voters" too.

There are Black leftists and progressives, just as there are Black libs, centrists, and conservatives. We exist across the political spectrum.

We are now going to relive the disaster of the Spanish flu’s impact on the military during WW1. Troop transport ships left for Europe and one after another, by the time they got there hundreds had died of the flu onboard due to cramped quarters.
