43/ Here’s my article and thread about William Wolfe, Russ Vought, and an earlier draft of the Statement on Christian Nationalism manifesto (co-edited by Wolfe & Joel Webbon & co-authored by Dusty Deevers). The MSM ignored it. bsky.app/profile/jenn...

If you get down with dogs, you’ll get up with fleas.

Red state bureaucrats thought they would be Lords and Dukes in the Trump regime, and now they’re waking up to find their authority and positions are in danger.

Who Wrote That Headline? Maybe a Robot.

scoop: this year, an engineer at The Washington Post quit, citing unethical use of A.I. in an un-launched product.

The Post ended up rolling out a different A.I. aggregator that it now uses.

For two decades, Paul Newby has pushed to make judicial elections in North Carolina explicitly partisan and consistently backed initiatives by Republican lawmakers to strip power away from North Carolina’s governor.

Preach!

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Nothing is set in stone. If they don't give us the backpay, there will be lawsuits.

It's not a given that the SC will let this slide.

We can make change happen.

They want us to feel hopeless.

It's our job to fight back and continue to fight back over everything.

Yikes…

Oh the hypocrisy is rich!!

When you throw so many people under your bus, the bodies pile up, the wheels don’t make contact with the road to move anywhere, the bus stalls out, and then it overturns.

Stupid people are mean because that’s all they have to work with.

What we are seeing and fearing right now of our own military and guards, is exactly why the Founders did not want a standing army.

We have eaten away at our own Constitution far longer than a decade.

Stop saying “they are,” or “they will,” or “they want to,” because THEY ALREADY HAVE!

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

To punish the military.

To force people to apply and get ICE numbers boosted.

Welcome to the 💩 show!

Scott: Her whole race is about policing bathrooms. They’re the pee-and-poop caucus. That’s all they do—they police where kids are going to the bathroom. They’re not worried about where kids are learning or what they’re getting out of school.

Yeah. Exactly. EVERYBODY is going to have to take a stand. It's only a matter of time.

Democracy is not dead.
You can’t kill an idea. The words of the Declaration and the Bill of Rights will continue to inspire.
But what is dead is the old rules based order that acted as a restraint on people’s worst impulses.
The opposition to Trump needs political brawlers for democracy now.

I’d like to report that the White House looks like a war zone. Rubble everywhere. Time to send in the National Guard to restore order

Ohio Democrats pitch congressional map, GOP redistricting commissioners shrug • Ohio Capital Journal Ohio Minority Leaders, Sen. Nickie Antonio and Rep. Dani Isaacsohn, made an impassioned case for their map during this week's Ohio Redistricting Commission hearing. Republicans on the panel seemed…

About two dozen activists showed up to Tuesday’s meeting of the Ohio Redistricting Commission wearing purple t-shirts that said “where is the map?” About half an hour later the commission adjourned, with little progress toward an answer.

In the midst of a government shutdown, and in the face of fundamental challenges to the rule of law and to democratic accountability, the House of Representatives--the people's house, the heart of our democratic republic--hasn't cast a vote since Sep. 19. An extraordinary failure of responsibility.

7 million people marched today. That's greater than world's three largest militaries— combined.

White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.
