It dates back to the 1960's, when LBJ outraged southern Democrats by supporting school desegratation and the Voting Rights Act. Nixon and the Republican party embraced those bigoted, evangelical Southern Democrats, who gave them the White House and have supported them ever since.

License Plate Reader Company Flock Is Building a Massive People Lookup Tool, Leak Shows Flock, which has license plate readers (LPRs) all around the country, wants police to be able to β€œjump from LPR to person,” according to leaked audio obtained by 404 Media.

There is no US law stopping companies from buying and using illegally obtained personal data. Seems like a bit of an oversight, no? www.404media.co/license-plat...

Get back in the fight, Congressman. Move to a district you can win and run as an independent or whatever party you choose.

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

You could move there and run against him. Just sayin'.

Until this crisis is over, we are not divided into Republicans and Democrats. We are divided into those who support the US Constitution, and those who support Donald Trump. These categories do not overlap.

You have to run for Congress somewhere, anywhere where you can win, for 2026. There won't be other offices for you to aspire to later if you don't go get into Congress at the next opportunity.

The old party lines are over. There is now for Trump and against Trump. Please move to a district, any district, where you can win and run to get back into Congress. Go get power again. We will support you. Run.

This is another reason why you need to get back into Congress, either as a moderate Republican or a moderate Democrat. There are plenty of districts in the US where you could do this.

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

Other than your opinion pieces, which are thoughtful and informed, so I read them, what are you doing to bring about change? Why not run for office again, but as a Democrat in a red district, and help to flip the house and get America back on track again?

McConnell breaks with party to reject Trump's Canada tariffs The former Senate Republican leader will likely deliver the deciding vote on a resolution to block a national emergency used to justify the new tariffs on Canadian imports.

Sen. Mitch McConnell privately indicated to Sen. Tim Kaine he would back the Virginia Democrat’s resolution to undo Trump’s Canada tariffs.

Kaine told reporters today that the former GOP leader told him he would back Kaine’s resolution, which will get a vote on the Senate floor Wednesday evening.

so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, β€œFuck El*n”. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us allβ€”an absolutely electric nite

We need more top Democrats going to deep red states and deep red districts and holding town halls and answering all the hard questions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZck...

Everyone yelling at Dems to do something, it's on us to vote, to talk to our neighbors about what's going on so that they're incensed and understand how serious it is, to listen to them talk about what scares them and have some empathy, to be active in our commuties not just politically. It's on us.

This is appalling.

The Trump Administration revoked this student’s visa, forcibly grabbed her off the street, and sent her to an ICE detention facility in Louisiana.

Because she wrote an op-ed they didn’t like.

This is what dictatorships do.

Rumeysa Ozturk needs to be released immediately.

Plus the GOP playbook: break it so you can privatize it--to "save" it and give your buddies and yourselves lucrative contracts, then do a crap job at it.

Democrats need to start thinking tactically and seeing the US as a whole and not just their deep blue areas where they can get elected over and over. The strongest need to fan out to red areas to flip them, and meanwhile the blue districts can grow new Dem leaders.

Want to have some fun? Come run for governor of Texas in 2026 and help turn the 2nd most populous state in the US blue. Our home-grown candidates aren't going to be able to flip the state, but someone with national stature could.

Fox viewers also need to hear this. I hope you're going to speak there, too, b/c the Fox news website is full of half-truths and full lies to try to cover this up.

They're breaking it so they can "save" it by privatizing it. It would be the largest federal contract ever.

Saw your interview on CNN. Thank you for the explanation of classified systems and how this could not be an accident. Just called my TX senators (FWIW) asking them to make sure the admin is complying w the Pres and Fed Records Act and at least copying Signal comms to a records archive.
