It’s a shame someone like Massie loses his seat. I didn’t like his politics but he was principled in his stances. The GOP has no moral compass. They exist to blindly follow a cult leader. And yes you voters.

In 1952, Richard Nixon's career was nearly derailed by revelations that he had access to a slush fund of $18,000 -- less than a quarter million today." People used to give a shit about that kind of thing, you see.

The ballroom, the data centers, the tariffs, the war, the pardons, the rabid promotion of AI, the attack on free speech, the attack on voting rights, the dismantling of agencies designed to protect us, the elevation of the oligarchy...all of it and so much more. The breaking point has been reached.

We have watched Trump get bullied by Putin, by Netanyahu and very likely by Xi. But MAGA, by all means keep telling yourself he is a strong leader. He is a dementia-riddled failure at everything but self-enrichment. And that just shows him to be the criminal we know he is.

Possible tornadoes and a flood, but they’re still voting to nullify Black representation. It’s a tidy encapsulation of the history of southern racial politics: whites in power caring more about repressing Black people than about their own lives and welfare.

This means that hundreds, if not thousands of labs all over the country will close. Tens of thousands of jobs will be lost. This is in defiance of Congress's will and in defiance of good stewardship of the US economy. This is entirely because Russ Vought hates science

Republicans made clear they would not be deterred by Democrats simply matching them seat for seat. The only way to stop them was to make clear that Democrats will go further than they will — and mean it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...

Democrats must gerrymander to save democracy
Redistricting is, in nearly every respect, a zero-sum game. When you remove a guardrail, the consequences are immediate and trigger others.
