Trump has been soundly rejected by historic turnout for an off-year election. Now buckle up. Trump’s retribution & GOP election shenanigans will be in high gear.οΏΌ

Mass Killings Reported in Sudan as RSF Seizes El Fasher; 460 Killed at Hospital Sudan’s military is accusing the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces of killing at least 2,000 people since seizing control of El Fasher in the Darfur region, including some 460 at the Saudi Maternity H...

What is unfolding in Sudan, where the armed group RSF has taken control of the key city of El Fasher, is "the sum of all our fears," says human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond. "RSF is killing at a scale and a velocity that I haven’t seen since Rwanda."

It's another example of the president’s ongoing cognitive decline caught on video. Trump appeared to forget where he was going and left the Japanese Prime Minister behind as she watched him, clearly confused. trib.al/WPTM9IP

My law firm is currently litigating 13 redistricting cases and an additional 50 voting and election cases. 63 lawsuits and those numbers are growing. While this is a lot for a firm with fewer than 60 lawyers, I am proud that we helping to defend free and fair elections and democracy in court.πŸ—³οΈβš–οΈπŸ’ͺ

Trump has announced the U.S. will resume nuclear testing.

Wonder what bothers Trump & Co most? That 7 million protested or that they did so without violence? It doesn’t fit their narrative. Not that it’ll stop their lies…

Watching Charlie Kirk Memorial... All this talk of free speech is disingenuous while the federal govt is actively suppressing it.

The Trump Administration Just Put Millions of Lives at Risk With a Single Ridiculous Decision The service was undeniably effective. Ending it is patently cruel.

The GOP knows its BBB is wildly unpopular β€” so Medicaid & other critical safety net cuts are delayed until 2027 after the midterms.

β€œLet’s hold back the pain,” they reason, β€œuntil after the midterms. We can lie about how great this Golden Age will be until it's too late for them to see the light.”

The assassin in Minnesota masqueraded as a cop. ICE officers are conducting raids without identification and wearing masks like Klansman. How are we to know who’s real? Is the whole point to pave the way for vigilantes?

Ironically, if today’s politics were superimposed onto 1776 America, the Founding Fathers would fit the role of leftwing radical lunatics and Trump would be King George III.
So tell me again how this makes America great?

The Sharks Circling the Boat From Marc | Donald Trump’s β€œflood the zone” strategy is designed to overwhelm us.

Today marks Trump's 100th day in office. Since Jan. 20, we've seen countless anti-democratic actions from the administration. Trump’s β€œflood the zone” strategy is designed to overwhelm, but we can’t lose focus or energy, @marcelias.bsky.social writes. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Absolutely! Trump has his base, yes, that will hang with him no matter what. But too many just don’t know the details of what’s happening. The mainstream media just skims the surface. And then there’s Fox…
