Wonder how sexual predator Brett Kavanaugh and sexual predator Clarence Thomas will vote on the fate of sexual predator Ghislaine Maxwell.

Remember when the right hit Biden on this? Here’s an opening for Dems and this time it’s true, cause they allowed their boy Elon to decimate the federal response infrastructure

Ken,

TX Constitution, Article 3, Sec. 14:

PRIVILEGE FROM ARREST DURING LEGISLATIVE SESSION. Senators and Representatives shall, except in cases of treason, felony, or breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during the session of the Legislature, and in going to and returning from the same.

MEDIA: Please report on the TX story w/context. Tx law requires redistricting every 10 years after census figures come in. TX did that.

Trump, afraid to lose the midterms told Tx Republicans to find 5 more seats for the House. Meaning gerrymander away 5 Dem seats. The Republicans did it.

Yes but nobody cares about educated people losing work

Every state needs to do it now and be prepared

Governors need to put our democracy before their political ambitions

say it again:

4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities

demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

Donald Trump is so transgressive that people feel numb.

But the system he relies upon for power relies upon reliable data from the government.

Politicizing government reports, even the slightest, threatens the entire underpinnings of the US economy's capital markets.

I don't say this lightly: The New York Times should fire the reporter and editor who chose to present a leak from the white house as if it was a leak from Harvard.

Don't print lies in the newspaper

All major Las Vegas Strip casinos are now unionized in historic labor victory The Culinary Workers Union representing 60,000 hospitality workers in Nevada has achieved a historic victory on the Las Vegas Strip.

The Culinary Workers Union representing 60,000 hospitality workers in Nevada has achieved a historic victory on the Las Vegas Strip. For the first time in its 90-year history, all major casinos on the Strip are unionized.

A massive regressive national sales tax imposed upon every American by a president with no constitutional authority to impose a national sales tax. The reason why the founders gave this power to Congress is because this would never pass any Congress- even this one.

I’m told I need to find a way to live together, in harmony, with these loathsome bigots, and I don’t really feel any desire to try. I would rather work to undermine them, to humiliate them, to deny them peace or joy.

No truer words have been spoken. 😳👇

I don’t want to see Democrats in jail or fined for fighting back, but I do want to see Democrats using all the tools available to them and breaking quorum is one of them…

Family of Virginia Giuffre re: Ghislaine Maxwell prison transfer

"It's w/ horror & outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex trafficker G. Maxwell has received.. Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children.. she should never be shown any leniency"

I have a friend going through an (very wanted) ectopic pregnancy right now that skipped a work trip last week because it was to a red state. The discussion of where to hold conferences given the overturn of Roe isn’t a theoretical exercise.

The 👏 president 👏 has 👏 neither 👏 statutory 👏 nor 👏 constitutional 👏 authority 👏 to 👏 unilaterally 👏 negotiate 👏 “trade deals”

Right. There's an actual existing ratified trade deal with S. Korea that is current law!

States should resist even minor intrusions into their elections by the executive branch of the federal government. They should contest every effort by this administration to encroach on their right to administer elections via executive order, informal request or any generic claim under Article II.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

Love, Allison

The Trump Administration has rescinded $158 million for community-led initiatives preventing gun violence.

This is a setback in public safety for red and blue states alike.
