I think there should be a lot more attention in general on SCOTUS. Much of what’s happening to this country lies at the feet of the conservative judges.

I see a lot of comments like this and wholeheartedly agree that something needs to happen but what would you have them do? I go to protests, donate $, and call my representatives. What else is there ? This is new for all of us.

I believe he’s describing the complexities Dems are facing while also making a valid point that Dems have been really slow to put together a plan to attack any one of these complexities. Dem voters want to fight but party leaders fail to identify what to fight for and against.

I’d like to be a fly on Cheryl Hines’s wall right now.

I could not agree more. We need to ban gerrymandering nationally, but that'll never happen as long as Republicans are using it to cheat their way into a perpetual majority.

This is spot on for this guy. His reptilian brain thrives in MAGA world allowing unfettered cruelty and inhumane verbal vomit.

I actually love this idea. I wish we could implement it.

We aren’t United anyway, so what does it hurt?

Republicans watching this will cheer. This is who they are now.

What he really needs is distraction from the LA debacle and the Iran/Israel debacles.

"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much. "We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve. "Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad. "Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them. "If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following: • Plant a tree. • Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail. • Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do. • Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it. • Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone. • Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something. • Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace. "Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark.

They need to be identified. Their constituents need to know who they are.

Will this battle between sociopaths devolve to the point that Musk says something about body odor?

Perhaps we've grown to understand that every time trump finds himself in the crosshairs, he tosses another squirrel for us to chase. The courts will overturn his travel ban as it has so many of his other wild plans. We just need to stay focused on the big, beautiful, tax break for millionaires.

I didn’t think this was real

👍

Perhaps we’re getting better at not chasing the squirrels he keeps setting loose.This will go thru the courts and he will lose, like usual. In the meantime people need to be laser focused on his “big, beautiful, tax cut for the wealthy” at the expense of the rest of us.
