This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.

Jury declares Sandwich Guy not guilty β€” proof that sometimes justice can be served. Preferably toasted, with extra irony and a side of fries.

The perfect flag is right there in the city crest: the black rock hawk with the Calvert shield. Pick any color background that looks good. Boom perfect flag.

If I was a GOP strategist, I’d be pretty worried about diluting my safe +15 districts into a bunch of +5 gerrymandered districts after tonight.

It’s a blue tsunami everywhere.

Tariffs poll lower than syphillis.

MAGA controls all three branches of government and shut it all down to strip millions of health care and hide the Epstein files.

Everything is worse than it was a year ago.

even if you knew that a spanberger win was a given, it is really wild to see this kind of electoral dunk in virginia. the last thing like it was bob mcdonnell's win in 2009 over creigh deeds

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free Using lobbying, the revolving door and β€œdark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

The "Deciding To Win" centrists dismiss base mobilization, but the actual 2024 data shows: the more blue a place was in 2020, the lower its turnout was in 2024.

Swing voters weren't nearly as important as Dem-leaning irregular voters not voting at all. The base wasn't mobilized, so we lost.

Anita Bonds being AWOL from basically every single DC Council function for years, but showing up to strip renters of protections pretty much says everything about her.

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

It appears that the federal agents occupying Portland have people embedded with them charged with the task of producing stories presenting the government’s version of events. Ironically, this was the sort of work JD Vance did in Iraq before he decided he was against that war.

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down.

The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed.

And they get another vacation
