How did the GOP get from: “Get a job!” To: “You’re taking my job!”

Brutal.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

It is past time for Democrats to admit there are only two types of GOP: MAGA and Collaborators. Stop giving the collaborators cover by reporting “privately held reservations”.

Amazing, though, that what should have been 9-0 is always 6-3, and you always know who two of them are. Alito and Thomas aren't even bothering to render judgments anymore. They just decide what's good for Trump and defend it.

I believe that Minneapolis is our “Battle of Midway” and says to the world that “government of the people” is badly shaken, but we still have the power to fight the forces of fascism. Our government is not lost to us until we give up.

🚨NEW: A federal judge out of Oregon has issued a sweeping rebuke of the DOJ’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls. The opinion released Thursday concluded that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warned that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade

The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

The Democratic Party must work on unified support for restoring and shoring up constitutional norms ahead of the midterms. They should RUN on their own version of “it’s the economy stupid.” Revise war powers act, strengthen independence and oversight of agencies like DOD, DOJ. Impeach cabinet Secs.

A powerful visual.

A tweet from Pop Base reads: “A melting ice sculpture of the word ‘Democracy’ was placed in front of the U.S. Capitol.” Two photos show the sculpture before and after melting. In the first, the word “DEMOCRACY” is fully visible in clear ice with the Capitol building in the background. In the second, much of the sculpture has melted, leaving only fragments that spell “D_C_AY,” symbolizing the decay of democracy.
