Virginia Supreme Court clears way for voters to counter GOP gerrymanders The decision restores the referendum and allows election preparations to move forward immediately.

Good news!

The Virginia Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, for the second time, that voters can decide whether the state can redraw its congressional map β€” clearing the way for a referendum that, if successful, could help counter GOP gerrymanders nationwide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

DHS accused Marimar Martinez of being a domestic terrorist

They said she rammed ICE agents & brandished a weapon

They tried to smear her after an agent shot her 5 times

The agent who shot her bragged β€œ5 shots, 7 holes”

Marimar survived & stood calmly in the gallery as Noem lied

She’s a hero

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

WALZ: What a 'stop payment' meant by what the administration did last week is 400,000 children without healthcare

COMER: We believe that's your fault

WALZ: Our Medicaid error rate is lower than your state

And I for one am so tired of white men charging in and winning the race against women - they always have a built in unfair advantage.

You know, as much fun as it was to see Colbert go after CBS and FCC, a case can be made that his interview with Talarico is what tipped the balance tonight and gave him the win - between the interview and the coverage of the interview, Talerico got so much free media.

I know y’all are frustrated re: the Texas Senate vote, but remember we can’t vote our way out of this alone & our collective power still matters!

We can still volunteer locally, help push policies, support mutual aid, advocate at city councils, etc. Sometimes those things are even more impactful✨

WATCH β€” @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

BLUMENTHAL: Is the agent who shot Ms Martinez sill on the job?

NOEM: Our officers conduct operations every day-

B: Is he still on the job carrying a gun?

N: I dunno

B: Would you agree he shouldn't be?

N: I'll get back to you

B: I think Americans would find it absolutely terrifying if he is

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

In this thread watch President Bill Clinton say that Trump told him that he had great times over the years with Jeffrey Epstein.

Then watch Secretary Clinton as she finds out that Lauren Boebert broke committee rules and sent out pictures from the deposition to conservative YouTuber Benny Johnson.

Hillary Clinton continues to send out warnings.

I’ll never regret voting for her and I’ll never believe that neither she nor Kamala Harris lost to the orange criminal tyrannical piece of shit.

Watching Hillary Clinton cook James Comer & Republicans in her opening statement to the House Oversight Committee during her deposition is way better than just reading it.
