Curious as to if and how they voted in 2024
04.03.2026 14:50 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Amen. Two excellent candidates. I hope they make a strong and sincere unity pact right away. This shit of “my candidate lost so I’m not going to vote “ is a big reason we got Bush and Trump.
04.03.2026 06:27 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I am going to enthusiastically support whichever Democrat wins the US Senate primary in Texas and hope for the sake of the country that all Democrats do the same.

Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico were BOTH incredible candidates yesterday. They are BOTH great candidates tomorrow. Lot of understandable emotions tonight.

BOTH Democratic U.S. Senate candidates should be furious about how this is being handled in Texas.
It benefits one candidate today. But the same chaos that helped them in the primary can absolutely burn them the general.
This is some 'Black Mirror' shit.

If you're not sure what this is about, repubs changed the rules in early January. Instead of being able to vote at any voting location in those counties, voters had to go to their local polling station on election day.

Hegseth: “We didn’t start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it.”
The truth: We did start this war two days ago. And now, apparently, we're not going to finish it in a way that will make it worth fighting. And we have a constitutional crisis.

I told those people until I was blue on the face that electing Hilary was crucial if, for no other reason than the courts. Just like I told the Nader people that Gore was needed to protect the courts.

Reminder:
A drunk from Fox News is heading the DOD. An ex-heroin addict who snorted cocaine off of toilet seats is running the HHS . A puppy killer who’s having an affair on her private sex-jet is running DHS. And they all report to a 34count convicted felon who’s accused of raping children.

From an ex-Hungarian MP @dailytelegraphnews.bsky.social, on April elections:
"The question is whether those who write the rules, distribute the money, count the votes, and announce the results will be willing to tolerate a world where they are no longer in power"

Appalling. One doctor “sent Mr. Epstein’s sexual partners elsewhere for gonorrhea treatment so that when their cases were reported to public health authorities, they wouldn’t be tied to Mr. Epstein. Some doctors also shared patients’ private health information with him”

The legal and ethical standard for a preemptive strike under international law requires a credible, specific and imminent threat, not a general hostility or nuclear ambitions.
#TrumpWar
Really good and pained editorial about an attack for which Trump has not built the necessary or legal support
28.02.2026 11:50 — 👍 69 🔁 11 💬 1 📌 0that top DOD officials spent the entire day feuding with a tech company and the boy scouts before launching a war in the middle of the night should probably inform your opinion about how well planned and executed this will be

The Constitution doesn’t have a provision for a president who simply announces he’s doing the thing the Constitution forbids and dares anyone to stop him. Except for impeachment and removal.
