EVERCORE: “.. We expect Trump will continue to test the bounds of executive authority irrespective of what happens in the midterms. .. And, in fact, freed from the politics of the midterms and focused on his long-term legacy, he will likely become even more emboldened in some areas.”

That’s the GOP way👇, first accuse one person of something and then make every Democrat complicit.

Our war with Iran was *never* about them having a nuclear weapon. That has always been a lie. And how do we know this? North Korea has *lots* of nuclear weapons. And instead of bombing them, Trump is always singing the praises of its leader and how much he likes Trump. We are being conned.

Before modern tech, saying goodbye actually meant something. No pixels, no screens—just holding onto each other like the world was ending, because back then, it kind of was. They kissed like they were fighting for tomorrow. 💔 #OldSchoolCool #1940s #WWII #TrueRomance

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.
