"De-Trumpification" has to be one of the top agenda items if Dems win power. All the lawlessness and every last one of his efforts to turn DC into an imperial capital should be undone.

A real question: What is a specific thing Trump has done that is *not* consistent with his being a paid agent of Russia, China, or NorK? (I *don't* think he is paid agent. Just vain, greedy, resentful, and ignorant. But old category of 'useful idiot' may be of use here, from RUS/PRC/NKor POV.)

The first line in this NY Times story is: “It is a confusing moment to be a voter in the South.” No, it’s not. It’s the clearest it’s been in a long time. Republicans are stealing the political power of Black voters through outrageous gerrymandering endorsed by a right-wing Supreme Court. 2/4🧵

It is a confusing moment to be a voter in the South.

Republican leaders across the region have redrawn congressional maps at breakneck speed in the month since the Supreme Court weakened the Voting Rights Act, leading primaries to be postponed, a veteran House member to abandon his re-election bid and new candidates to charge into races ahead of the November midterms.
