Night at the museum 5: save the Smithsonian - where they break in and start shuttling artifacts to a secret location to save HISTORY

anyway this is just an idle theory i have but i think reagan's 1984 landslide and Bush's 1988 repeat convinced a lot of conservatives of the time that they had won politics and that they were the natural governing party of the united states, and those who remain have not let go of the fantasy

I’m really struggling with the norms of polite debate when it comes to people who want to force me and my friends and communities into religious, cultural, or ethnic belief systems that have no claim to our allegiance.

It would be hilarious if the gop fails in TX and CA succeeds.

Yes, men don’t mature until at least 35.

I just can’t believe our Reichstag Fire is the Big Balls Beatdown.

The redistricting fight is so grim in part because it's one of the few parts of their agenda that they didn't outline in Project 2025. I knew most of the rest of the stuff was going to happen but they really just are declaring total war against representative democracy.

A moment of appreciation for Democrats who -- in this moment of Jim Crow policing -- are just doubling down on making the criminal system MORE harsh.

Governors Can Not Remove Elected Legislators. Period. A democracy must have an independent legislature. Only voters elect and unelect representatives.

History and Article IV’s Guarantee Clause makes clear that a state’s governor cannot remove members of the legislature. No governor has ever claimed such power. It runs against the full history of Texas and American democracy as a whole.

Sooo close! The real answer is Scott Bakula in a Quantum Leap reboot.

Hot damn best response yet

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

When AI wave kicked off, my company was looking at a particular product that analyzed purchasing data.
I told the management team that the same thing could be accomplished with a “really good report”.

Correct, but also, he hasn’t allowed the seat left in Houston to be filled. Guessing he would repeat this here too.

Obama also set Fed loan rates at 6%, with the Fed Funds rate at near 0%, so he’s responsible for all the student loan debt too. At any point he could have pegged that FFR + 2%.

Thunderstorm at 345am sounds like a war zone outside. Need to be up in 3 hours…might need to just stay up 🥺

If they wanna play the “unfair representation to cement their control of the legislature game” you have no choice but to actually play it. And, boy, I don’t think the GOP is gonna like what happens if the Dems actually start to play their game.
