Trump's 'plainly bonkers' scheme to ensure 'Republicans can't lose' has surprising origin President Donald Trump proposed conducting a new census as he schemes to keep Republicans in the congressional majorities, but experts agree the plan is plainly unconstitutional.The president is alrea...

Trump wants a do-over census—five years early—to tilt congressional power to Republicans. Because why follow the Constitution when you can rewrite the rules? Experts call it blatantly illegal, but hey, who needs democracy when you’ve got a calculator and an agenda?

I own and have read Art of War. Judging from the title and our current governmental predicament, #1 looks like a book that I should read *immediately*, so I'm adding it to the top of my books to read list.

Don't have a books to read list? Make one.

Books are cheap. Ignorance is expensive. #Library

100% Agreed! Books she recommended:

1) From Dictatorship to Democracy, by Gene Sharp

2) Art of War, by Sun Tzu

3) Attack From Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America, by Barbara McQuade

4) Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel, by Rolf Potts

DEMOCRATS‼️

If you’re worried about fighting dirty, remember this—extreme partisan gerrymandering in North Carolina handed Republicans three extra seats and control of the House in 2024.

Fighting fire with fire is long overdue.

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

What she is saying is 100% accurate. This is a serious problem, and Republicans legislators in Congress have blocked any attempts at privacy laws for decades (because...profit!).

Only California has privacy laws anywhere *near* what the EU has.

In Chicago today, Protesters disrupt
U.S. Customs & Border
Protection hiring event

YES!!! This is the pushback we need!

Good people outnumber these ICE assholes!

Road House.

Yep. A well-known adage in the software business is "garbage in, garbage out". If we train these AI models with dumb people and with racist input, then we will have dumb racist AI output.

Of course, if we teach AI critical thinking, it might not like humans so much, so maybe we're safe...for now?

I'm pretty sure this is how the rest of the world views us now, with Trump as the ring leader of his political circus.

It's like a 5-year-old Trump saw Versailles on a field trip and then when he grew up (as if) decided he wanted his house to be like that: tacky and gauche.
(apologies to Louis XIV)

For the destruction of America, per Vladimir Putin's wishes.

Trump is #PutinsPuppet. The Trump regime is a criminal organization looting the government of taxpayer dollars.

Putin is exploiting Trump to make the U.S. into "West Russia".

And Trump gets to rule over the ashes, like a mob underboss.

🤣

Great show though! 🖖

Everything old is new again when you ignore the lessons of history.

The United States would not exist if George Washington hadn’t ordered his troops to be vaccinated.

We have spiraled back 250 years.

Drinks, Apps, and an Epstein Coverup to Go The VP’s big dinner was canceled, but the concealment continues.

"If the files mention those people once again, and they were simply innocent guests, associates, or bystanders on the fringes of Epstein’s dark world, they’ll have no problem explaining that." Those who were not bystanders?

THIS!! Vote with your wallets.

Stop going to/shopping in/buying from/doing business with Republican-controlled states.

I didn't see this until now. Damn, how I wish she was running the country right now instead of the criminal in the oval office.

You're not looking at this rationally. They *want* you to despair. That is how they win--by driving apathy.

Think: Who is taking the video?
