Does anyone else find it odd that the Democratic party, at both the state and national levels, is NOT running this sort of ad everywhere? It's the sort of messaging that could actually hurt the entire Republican party not to mention gain a seat in the Senate.

Breaking down carefully ordered or balanced systems is nearly always far easier and more profitable in the short term. Fascism is to politics what private equity is to business.

Trump is crediting himself for declining murders of trans persons in the USA & the media repeated it without thinking. Not mentioned: The federal government and more than half the states have legally erased trans people and only record the killed person's name & sex assigned at birth.

TERFs comparing the Cornell 7 to trans women should not surprise anyone, as it takes the heat off the rapists and their accomplices. Just as with sports they aren't in it to help or protect women at all.

Carney announces the crude oil pipeline to the West Coast, which will almost certainly drive the orcas there to extinction, is designated in the “national interest.” That means it can bulldoze past environmental laws, impact assessments and Indigenous consultation. He laughs while announcing it.

Just remember Farmers, after purposely voting to lose your farm, the new landowners will need some farm hands, and they will be hiring. Whatever you paid others to work for you should be just the right amount for you to be paid. See, you might be out of your farm, but never out of a job.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.
