If that all happens there will be so many job opportunities! The act of holding the entirety of the party formerly known as the GOP will require hundreds, if not thousands, of people. That might fix the economy!

The single biggest blow to "running on transphobia wins elections" would be an election cycle where Elon spends hundreds of millions of $ for Rs to run on gutter transphobia and it leads to a generational wipeout and costs them seats in Kansas and Texas and Alaska how do people not get this

Reich's 3-min intro to fixing SCOTUS. I disagree with #2 - term limits are sugar-coating and as being presented are so diluted as to be worthless; #3, expansion, needs to be by more than 3 people. But it's a great outline of modest changes we can make beginning November 3. youtu.be/RwxNnqy8YRA?...

This horrible decision, horrible even by our current corrupt Supreme Court standards, is not final. I'm not a lawyer so I don't understand why but I get this from #Leahlitman, who knows things. AGs will fight. Our job is to learn what we need to do

The Supreme Court just allowed the Trump Administration to move forward with plans to restrict mail-in voting. Fights remain. Democratic AGs will continue leading them. But make a backup plan to vote now. And in November, remember who’s trying to take so much away from you.

I'm m bummed that the Michigan Democratic candidate has a namby-pamby notion about fixing the SCOTUS. Don't matter how many wonderful bills you get passed if the SCOTUS hasn't been fixed with real teeth. Bills will just go there to die. 10-year term limits? WTH, dude? castbox.fm/vb/980411482

Brilliant dissection of SCOTUS's cynical ruling. By claiming they didn't overthrow it, just reinterpreted section 2, they hope people won't grok that they in fact overthrew it. They don't want the backlash of us rising up in fury as we did after they overthrew Roe. castbox.fm/vb/938620046
