Trump got 56% of the vote in Texas, less than Romney, GW Bush, Reagan & Nixon, but his mid-decade gerrymandering plan would give Republicans nearly 80% of Texas's seats

We cannot underestimate the strength and, well, cussedness, of our feline friends. I'm glad to know she's on the mend.

Wonderful wonderful! I recall the earlier days, I'm so happy for her and your family.

The difference is clear. Clinton, though he governed like a repub-lite, was nominally a Dem. For decades now, media and propagandists have been braying lies about how bad Dems are. R monsters are given a pass.

Guillotines are gravity powered and eco-friendly.

He wants to worshipped by all the cool people.

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

We can't know if there was more or any like this in other states due to the media not doing their job. But it begins thanks to the moron we have at NIH, RFK Jr

I can explain this conundrum, sir. Anything, however repugnant or vile, is AOK if you're an R (it stands for regressive).

Simultaneously, nothing a Dem does is right, ever, and always deserves hours of caterwauling/fake outrage from propagandists.

Recognise the Palestinian voice and future! As we hold our breaths in horror at what is happening in the Middle East, we know one thing to be true: until everyone is safe in the region, no one can be safe. Recognising Palestine and the Palestin...

Unfortunately, this is where we are headed... shameful...🥺

Specifically, the DNC & Dem leadership are in the wrong and have been for nearly 20 yrs. Plenty of very good D pols, but they seldom get up the ladder. That must change.

This this this. So many people in rural districts get lumped in with the cultists.

The mistake is always thinking rural people are stupid. We're not, we're often fully aware of what's going on, but so much of our voting system is rigged to benefit MAGA and the GOP.

Had to go for a bit of a drive today for work
Took a photo along the way

The people are sick of being lied to. We can’t afford NOT to do it. #MedicareForAll

We know how to get things done in Minnesota.

It takes guts to stand up for what's right - and hold your ground, no matter who's on the other side of the table.

We need more Minnesota spirit in Washington.

Jessica: I also heard no complaints when Mike Johnson decided to abdicate his job to say actually congress isn't in session anymore because I don't want to have to vote on turning over the Epstein files…. so be equal opportunity in your complaints about fleeing your job

Let's not forget trump is just a (very malignant) symptom. The actual disease is republicanism.

Except for the worst people, apparently.

You want them to do their jobs? They stopped accurately covering the cancer that is the regressive party years ago. You know why? Because the Rs complained journos were mean and unfair. & that was before the orange stain.

I thought due process ended with the rise of the fascists? I guess exceptions will be made for child sex traffickers?

Birds of a feather.
