Yeah, fighting for democratic principles by letting people who are hostile to democracy hold power indefinitely would be disastrous for democracy. The media pretending not to understand this gives away the game.

Yeah solar and A/C usage is completely uncorrelated
The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.
Call me old Fashioned but I don’t think the signature from Epstein’s birthday card should be on our currency.
Margo Martin @MargoMartin47 X.com Congratulations, Georgia Women's Tennis! The photo shows Trump and five white dudes in red ties standing in front of and completely blocking 10 young women
Priceless post from the official White House social media
Classic Trump administration, "the buck stops elsewhere "
just one party behaving irresponsibly is bad for the whole system in the long run, and creates no path for things to return to functionality. You can’t make a party feel more reverent toward institutions and norms; you can raise the costs of irreverence. In the long run, that’s the most effective tool available.
Last year I wrote that Democrats being as reckless as Republicans on redistricting — rather than just calling out gerrymandering as un-American — would produce the best long-term outcomes smotus.substack.com/p/the-case-f...
I think the gerrymandering race to the bottom is genuinely bad and undemocratic and unfortunately what the dems are doing is the least bad of the bad options available.
Wait... the media is in the tank for Republicans?

screenshot of April 21 Wash PO editorial board: "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it."
listen hun if you can't handle the Washington Post editorial board at their the Texas gerrymander "freakout" is "not a threat to democracy" you don't deserve them at their "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss"
Glad to see it. An important thing to remember in these redistricting fights is that nothing would be happening if TX didn’t start and that Democrats, unlike Republicans, give the decision to the voters.

Republicans have always believed it's cheating for Democrats to fight back in any capacity, not least because so many Democrats agree
Even if he weren't. The outbreak is an absolute failure on his watch and he should be resign...

I wonder if a pattern is forming here.
I want to thank the 49er staff for having the guts to draft me despite never having taken a snap.
I'm confident I can quarterback the team to this summer's World Cup Championship!!!
RUIZ: Bloomberg reports that Trump & the WH have benched you because you're making the president look bad
RFK Jr: That's not true
RUIZ: I think the reporting is correct. You're making the president look bad. You talked publicly about snorting cocaine off a toilet bowl seat. Your words, not mine.
Morons...

Again…
Please, Dem, MAGA, “GOP”, the only way Fair Maps will work is if Fair Maps is legally required by *ALL* states, for *ALL* seats
The same “people” who cheered Texas’ maps now loathe Virginia’s possible new maps
Until all are under the same rules, Virginia should remap to offset Texas
• Success is separate from satisfaction with the work. Sometimes they line up, but just as often they don't.
• Success has more to do with luck than any of us would like to admit, but persistence and being great to work with gives you the most spins at the roulette wheel to see how it goes.
They should have a punch card for cardiologist visits
as always the correct way to treat a Trump nominee is ‘disqualified by virtue of getting the nomination’
if they claim to be anything other than a stooge they are lying and everyone knows it
Once control has been established, we can create fair rules. We should not be negotiating terms of engagement with the enemy during the battle they started.
unless and until republicans agree to a ceasefire in the form of strict anti-gerrymandering provisions: fuck them to hell, squeeze every last drop of blood from the stone, lock them out of every seat you can
this is why Dems need to go as hard as possible on reforms and actually fixing things rather than kick the can, because "people will remember how bad things were and not put these folks back in charge" is a demonstrably false statement
The WH correspondents dinner is a hilariously bad idea, like imagine a 1999 War Correspondents Dinner where the guest speaker was Milošević
The president is currently trying to steal 10 BILLION DOLLARS from the American people and it’s not the main news story in the country… not even close
This is the truth. My corporate AI deployment is completely useless.
