Yes this is great. But after FL, MO and other R states redistrict and SCOTUS kills the VRA, Republicans will have the technical means to make the baseline House balance +5 R on the national popular vote.

And it will all be perfectly legal.

There are 813,000 people in Tucson, Arizona without representation in Congress (thanks to Mike Johnson). I am one of them.

This is wrong.

๐Ÿ’ฏ. This has been the takeaway from the attacks on law firms and universities as well.

Republicans are throwing 15 million people off of their health insurance and raising premiums by as much as 75% for people who get care from the ACA.

Is that making America healthy again?

One reason Trump 2.0 is so different from Trump 1.0 is SCOTUS immunity decision. Without fear of criminal
prosecution, Trumpโ€™s full wrath has been unleashed.

As a Navy retiree, this is very disturbing. Rules are in place to protect the confidentiality of these records. These rules were ignored by several persons at several levels, and they were ignored for political reasons. I'm sure the cover-up is well underway. This is unacceptable.

At this point in U S history, ultra-wealthy people spend more on buying members of Congress than they do on the public good.

Most of us knew all along that "Make America Great Again" really meant Make America White Again. But now that they feel there is no need for dogwhistles anymore, NO ONE can argue the point.Gee, Fox host suggested just killing homeless people, and he's still at his job. Very sick people in the GOP.

I half think that even if a billionaire tax leads ultra-wealthy people to flee the country, it's probably still good on net. leaves them less able to buy the political system

Set aside Sen. Mike Lee's storm of lies and incitement here. Lee literally made jokes on Twitter about the fmr Speaker of the Minnesota state house being murdered in her home by a right wing extremist. Hard to imagine any more twisted and malicious person in public life.

He apologized. Good. He didn't elide the horror of what he said. Also good.

Still, we need to talk about why what he said was so awful, why three days passed before it was called out, and how it echoes tragedies and tyrannies of the pastโ€”lest we repeat them.
