🚨BREAKING: The Montana Supreme Court struck down key GOP restrictions on citizen ballot initiatives. The unanimous ruling is a major win for direct democracy — and a powerful check on the Legislature’s ability to interfere with the people’s lawmaking power.

Starting a war and then inviting the country you’re fighting to destroy American cities is beyond disgraceful. The people of Los Angeles and San Diego are not pawns in Donald Trump’s war. A president is supposed to protect the American people, not fantasize about their destruction.

Troy Jackson: Brett Kavanaugh was against abortion when Susan Collins met with him. She knew that was going to happen, and now after it's been overturned, she doesn't regret the vote. Everybody else in Maine and across this country regrets her vote.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.

Trump's own investigators could never corroborate Trump's claims of election tampering. Even with taking over the presidency and his party having control of both houses of Congress and a lock on the Supreme Court, they still could not prove Trump's claims. You know why? Because it's a lie.

📌REMINDER: 1. Donald Trump violently attacked the country on Jan. 6, 2021, while trying to overthrow the election. 2. He then retired to his dining room to root on the attack for three hours. 3. When it failed, he went on camera, and told the attackers that he "loved them." He's a damn traitor.
