There's a distinction between recognizing that Trump/GOP will try to monkey-wrench elections and doing everything we can proactively to stop that, and guaranteeing that if Democrats win they will just invalidate it. The latter tells people, "Don't bother voting." Really ignorant and dangerous.

Schmidt says, "This is my time. If you want to criticize my questions on your time go ahead." Then when Klobuchar does exactly that, he interrupts and says she can't do that with her time. They. Are. Scum.

Jack Smith is professional, admirable and unflappable. His motivations are unimpeachable. His adherence to the Rule of Law is steadfast and refreshing. He has zero political rhetoric. He shows no personal or professional sensitivity. He communicates accurately. He would be an ideal attorney general.

Heidi Overton smirked her entire way through her confirmation hearing, because she knows she doesn't have to answer a single question and Republicans will confirm her easily. Confirmation hearings of Republican nominees are a sham. (see: Kavanaugh, B.)

It's a pain in the ass, but if you live in a red state, check your voter registration daily. Because apparently that's how often Texas is pulling shit to stop you from voting there.

Dismissing the Sheeran story as "about a popstar" is pretty disingenuous for a college professor. We get it, you can't stand anyone left of center. Your continual attempts to divide Democrats in a midterm year is pathetic.

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

The Beatles banned segregated audiences, contract shows

Alito and Thomas prove AGAIN today with their gross, un-American, vile dissent that there is a huge, permanent risk to handing Trump and a GOP Senate the power to appoint more justices like them. It matters. People advocating to sit out Senate elections because the Dem isn't perfect are the enemy.

Challenging Trump on these won't do much good. He's not running in the midterms and he's doing it just to rile people up/get attention. TIE EVERY GOP CANDIDATE TO THEM INSTEAD. Ask very pointedly if they support specific nuts things he posts. Make them squirm in public, over and over before Nov.

Many GOPs in Congress don't like Trump, but they stick with him as he's implementing the white/rich/male-centered agenda they also support. But they want their gentile party of Romney, Bush and McCain back, and they foolishly think they can get it back by going along with his destructive agenda.
