The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.

It's actually a good thing that previously apolitical normies are finally getting angry and starting to speak out. We need the numbers in the streets and at the polls. If your response to them is "no, fuck you, too late," then you don't actually care about stopping Trump. You're just preening.

Trumpers have a howling void of angry insecurity where a soul should be. Unchecked power tastes like ashes in their mouth because they thought when they got it everyone would be forced to like and admire them even though they’re irredeemable assholes. But people still treat them like assholes.

In 48 other states, new moms have access to Medicaid for up to one year after they give birth. Not in Wisconsin. There, the limit remains two months. And it’s only because of one man: Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. By @megomatz.bsky.social

OBAMNA FROM THE TOP ROPE
tweet of obama endorsing california gerrmandering:

Barack Obama
@BarackObama
Over the long term, we shouldn’t have political gerrymandering in America, just a fair fight between Republicans and Democrats based on who’s got better ideas. But since Texas is taking direction from a partisan White House and gerrymandering in the middle of a decade to try and maintain the House despite their unpopular policies, I have tremendous respect for how Governor Newsom has approached this. He’s put forward a smart, measured approach in California, designed to address a very particular problem at a very particular moment in time.

We’re grateful to President @BarackObama for being in this fight with us and supporting our mission.

California is advancing a process that gives voters the final say on implementing new maps. 

This is a fair and responsible response to Trump’s unprecedented power grab.

D.C.’s rolling crime rate per 100,000 is at its lowest since before the pandemic, so the idea of deploying the National Guard is nonsense. The only spike in D.C. crime is coming from the White House, where a felon and his cronies are looting the nation in broad daylight.
