Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

hey look the bros are ok with universal healthcare now
Shane Gillis: "Free healthcare is cool. We should have that. That's not Communism"
Joe Rogan: "You should treat the entire country like it's a community. If you have a community would you want the sickest person to fucking die who could be very valuable if you could take care of them and if you have the resources to take care of them? Take care of them. This is the problem with capitalism. This is the reason people turn on all these billionaires"

New in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power. Or they can put the 'battle for the soul of the party' off for a while and do what they can to help their party win."

Do they want to help their party win, or do they want to whine about the left?

So, in other words, only if white GOP state legislators are stupid enough to “show their math” will the Voting Right Act apply but if they wink their way through racist gerrymandering, it’s cool. Also Roberts is a p.o.s.
