So, this very sympathetic piece where the subject is “a lifelong Democrat who had voted for Trump for the first time in 2024”. 5 minutes of checking his facebook shows pro Trump posts as far back as 2019, and a post saying that he “stands with Trump” posted just a couple of days after Trumps coup.

However much Dems get done in the next 2/4/6 years there will always be a group saying "Why didn't Dems do X/Y/Z when they had the majority" as if fixing this stuff happens overnight. It will always take longer to rebuild what the GOP tears down and that goes double for MAGA.

Please stop with the "Dems should immediately do things they won't have the votes to do" nonsense. At best they will take the House and have a very slim majority in the Senate. At best. (And that's before Fetterman pulls a Fetterman). Dems can only do what the voters give them the votes to do.

For more than 160 uninterrupted years, federal law has prohibited troops wherever an election is held. The Insurrection Act’s grant of authority to the president does not supersede Section 592’s prohibition on armed people at the polls, writes @lorenvoss.bsky.social and @nkorpett.bsky.social.

You can learn a lot about someone by searching their TL and determining at what point they started labelling Israel's response to 10/7 a genocide. This guy waited barely six days. For some, any response to 10/7 by Israel other than "We deserved it and apologize for existing" is unacceptable.

No one is contesting whether third-country removals are *ever* permitted; the litigation is over whether individuals are entitled to notice & an opportunity to prove that they face torture or other mistreatment in that country before they can be removed. Good luck figuring that out from the tweet.
