All the pundits who criticized Biden for his preemptive pardons should be ashamed of themselves. He knew exactly who Trump is

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

Yep, using these with the script they provide to crop out your desired region is the easiest way to get up and running for regional grids.

A message I just got from a buddy of mine, who's a long time Democratic Party campaign consultant: "This Sydney Sweeney thing is the kind of thing that turns men away from our party.
It's why men think our party is weak & insane."
My response to him? "Fuck yea it is. You are exactly right." y 562

Q: Who in the Democratic Party is pushing this Sydney Sweeney thing? Answer: No one. It's some randos on TikTok and Twitter. Has nothing to do with the Democrats. What a weird strawman.

It doesn't have to "come" from the party leadership, it's very obviously only left-leaning people who get their outrage detectors out to search for micro-aggressions. It's an ad for jeans, and yet another reason for people who lean
"anti-woke" to laugh at the people who care about things

It is nothing compared to the insane backlash over one bud light instagram ad featuring a trans woman. But somehow that is never a problem for the republican party.

@JDVance on X: The gerrymander in California is outrageous. Of their 52 congressional districts, 9 of them are Republican. That means 17 percent of their delegation is Republican when Republicans regularly win 40 percent of the vote in that state. 

How can this possibly be allowed?

JD Vance is suddenly opposed to gerrymandering. Someone tell Greg Abbott.

Trump’s Texas gerrymander Is supercharging a new war on democracy Texas Republicans just unveiled a shocking plan to give their party five new House seats.

Trump’s Texas gerrymander would give Republicans nearly 80% of seats in state where he got 56% of vote

This is direct result of John Roberts & conservative SCOTUS majority gutting Voting Rights Act & refusing to stop blatant partisan gerrymandering www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
