I'm sure this can be done right away. Getting people to the moon again has been so easy.

We cannot let fascists take over our country!

That's what Texas extremists are trying to do. They are trying to eliminate all Democratic districts by redrawing the districts in a crazy way.

We cannot let this go unanswered.

Has it been a complete catastrophe? No, mainly because at several key moments, Trump backed down and everyone breathed a (temporary) sigh of relief. I hardly think that counts as "winning".

Trump's new story is that he fell out with Jeffrey Epstein because Trump's most valued employees preferred to go work for a notorious sex offender rather than stay with Trump.

A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for whatโ€™s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.

Trump VS MAGA? The Epstein Crashout Explained
YouTube video by Josh Johnson Trump VS MAGA? The Epstein Crashout Explained

Finally got a chance to watch the @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social routine about Trump and Epstein that came out a few days ago.

I am blown away that he managed to put together a full hour of stand-up about breaking news and it's somehow polished and funny as hell.

Give it a watch and share it.
