Opinion | They’re half the country. And they’re essential to Iran’s future. The country’s ethnic minorities are essential to any credible transition to a new government.

Since Trump’s second term began, Republicans have been trying to reshape the way elections work β€” they want politicians to pick their voters, and not the other way around.

Carol J, Kristi Noem just said the quiet part out loud:

β€œWhen it gets to Election Day, we’ve been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country.”

The β€œright people”? Electing the β€œright leaders”?

The Stupidest, Saddest, Sleaziest of Spectacles What happened to my wonderful old department is typical of what Trump is doing to our government

Why am I telling you all this? Because I’m heartbroken. The wonderful department I once loved is being turned to shit.

I blame Trump. He’s the one who nominated Chavez-DeRemer to be his labor secretary.

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

Trump’s court loss and the refusal of key alliesβ€”including France, the UK, Germany, and Canadaβ€”to back a war in Iran suggest that his broader foreign‑policy and political coalition is fracturing. #USA

Anyone who thinks our "election system" is strong enough to withstand an attack by MAGA-Republicans in November; just keep in mind that Trump, just like Netanyahu will end up in jail once he's no longer in power. You can see what Netanyahu has done to say out of jail, imagine what Trump might do...
