What I would like to know is why can't Democrats challenge this ridiculous mid-decade redistricting plot in court? Maybe you are. Seems like Republicans are using every lowdown trick they can think up.

That's the most persuasive language he can muster? That it's an "unprecedented request?"

Just unbelievable. Horrific for any American to say but especially for a Secretary of Defense.

*EVERY SINGLE DAY*
I haven't seen Democrats screaming enough about the ongoing destruction of our govt. They should have daily "shout backs" at a regular time, with electeds & guests, identifying the most recent Trump lies, abuses & crimes, and NOT in polite voices.

Republicans Issue Arrest Warrants for Texas Democrats, But They Likely Arenโ€™t Enforceable Read more here.

Texas Republicans voted to issue arrest warrants for Democrats who left the state to block the GOPโ€™s congressional redistricting plan.

Most of the Democrats fled to Illinois, where Gov. JB Pritzker (D) made it clear he wonโ€™t enforce the warrants.

You were rightly documenting and condemning what Israel is doing, until this: "Then, in 1967, Israel seized control of the West Bank and Gaza..." without even mentioning the predicate Six-Day War, tipped off when Nassar closed the Straits of Tiran to Israel.

Social Security Administration sends misleading email lauding Trump's new tax cuts law The emails say nearly 9 in 10 Social Security beneficiaries won't pay income taxes on their benefits in the future. But the Trump tax law did not directly address Social Security.

โ€œThis email went to every Social Security subscriber and every word of it is a lie. Social Security benefits are still taxed."

Apparently, The Cruelty is the Thing.

I would very much like to DEPORT Trump, Miller, Noem, DeSantis, Homan, Bondi, Hegseth and Patel. Let's look into their parents' and grandparents' immigration history and find a reason. They are a clear and present danger to the United States.

Shadow impeachment hearings are a creative strategy to focus public attention on the outrageousness (a word that unfortunately has lost a lot of its impact) and economic, geopolitical and human damage of Trump's performance in office.

I suggest that Democrats start their own shadow impeachment hearings, similar to the Select Committee January 6th House investigation, open to the media.

We need to strongly label and associate Trump with illegality. We don't have the votes to actually impeach but we should be saying loudly and constantly that what he is doing amounts to impeachable offenses.

The Trump Administration has committed unlawful, illegal and unconstitutional acts since the start of his second term. I've been calling for Democrats to use the IMPEACHMENT word for weeks.

RFK Jr. fired all 17 members of key vaccine committee ACIP. What exactly does that mean? A fired committee member who served on the panel since July 2024 said the decision to fire him and his colleagues was "out of the blue."

โ€œPulling information from decades ago to disparage the ACIP was ludicrous.โ€

Trump's Callous Deportations Of Undocumented Workers Hurts Families, The Economy AND US Tax Revenue
YouTube video by Glenn Kirschner Trump's Callous Deportations Of Undocumented Workers Hurts Families, The Economy AND US Tax Revenue

Glenn Kirschner nails it. This is the best, most succinct, commentary I've seen about the CRUELTY and STUPIDITY of this deportation policy of the evil -and I mean EVIL - Stephen Miller.

Just heard Gloria's call. She said there's nothing to prevent 100 Democrats from being on a plane from DC to LA *now* to oppose the use of Guard & Marines against protesters. We need much more fight from Dems right now.

For Tapper to expose the mental decline of Biden without vigorously exposing the clear and present danger of Trump's decline and sociopathy is wildly irresponsible.

Trumpโ€™s pretense that heโ€™s fighting antisemitism has always been a transparent fig leaf for using real antisemitism to destroy universities, as illustrated by his hosting on May 23 of cryptocurrency investors whose coins bear slogans like โ€œF*CK THE JEWS.โ€

I call this Israel's SICK campaign: Self-Indulgent Collateral Killing. Except in this case, was it even collateral? Will the IDF say they were aiming for Hamas? Israel has a rogue, immoral government.

@jaketapper.bsky.social Unless you cover Trump's CURRENT mental decline, limited vocabulary, nonsensical utterings & constant lying with the depth you've covered Biden's decline, you are renamed Jerk Tapper.

@nprfreshair.bsky.social It is journalistically illegitimate to discuss Tapper's book on Biden's decline and it's concealment without discussing how the mainstream media lets Trump 's cognitive decline and nonsensical utterings slide.
