Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

πŸ’₯ Some good news. Major win in Utah.

A late night court ruling just threw out GOP gerrymanders and guaranteed Democrats a new House seat.

Two things:

1. I hope you’re not having a β€œwonderful” day. I hope you are seething…the red hot kind of seething.

2. I hope you choose to channel that into constructive action; the kind that puts a great deal of distance between you…and thoughts of β€œwhat’s the use?!”

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown.
There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

Just pointing out that Hakeem Jeffries got TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE House Democrats to hold the line.

Not one House Democrat cracked.

Not one House Democrat caved.

I’m going to remember that.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.

Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.

Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.

Glad everything worked out for them.

How about you?

RESULT: Californians have approved Prop 50. The ballot measure permits the state to adopt a Democratic gerrymander in response to a wave of redistricting in red states this year.

The passage of CA Prop 50 wraps a big night on the democracy/voting rights front. In addition to Prop 50, most notably: ME rejected voting restrictions, PA preserved its liberal supreme court majority, and VA cleared a path to end its Jim Crow-era system of lifetime felony disenfranchisement.
