Honestly, the scariest thing about the last ten years has been realizing that over a third of the country just watches democracy get dismantled and acts like it's totally normal.

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration is plowing ahead with officially designating a leading Muslim civil rights nonprofit and more than 100 other groups as “domestic terrorist organizations,” in a move critics say is unprecedented and unconstitutional. floridatrib.org/2026/09/29/d...

DeSantis exercises ‘unprecedented’ power to label groups ‘domestic terrorists’

Gov. DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet voted to advance the terrorist designations Tuesday, approving the proposal in just over 30 seconds and with no discussion.

IOWA FIRST… FROM KANSAS? Zach Lahn is running for governor of Iowa while maintaining a home in Wichita. He voted in Kansas in 2018, 2020 and 2022, then registered in Iowa in 2024. Flight records reviewed by the Des Moines Register showed his plane making frequent trips back to Wichita.

Sen. Eric Schmitt was so overzealous to try and get Jack Smith, a good and honest man who has done great work, that Schmitt embarrassed himself by accusing Smith of going to the wrong basketball game. You can't make this stuff up. And right wing media will pretend it never happened.

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.
