And twice over a more educated and qualified woman. This country is racist, but damn it sure is sexist, too.

Again, every accusation from the right is a confession.
I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.
In a video posted by Elon Musk’s PAC, a $1M check recipient linked voting to receiving the money:

“My name’s Ekaterina Deistler. …I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.”

YouGov poll:

74% Americans — including 60% of Republicans — say the Trump admin's use of the Signal chat to discuss military strikes is a serious problem.

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

I forget who said it originally, but if you want to live like a republican, you’ve got to vote Democrat.
One of these things is not like the other.

So much for defending the constitution against threats, both foreign and domestic. And so much for home of the brave. #Republicansarecowards
"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary...

"Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm."

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202.

I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

When there weren't enough bank examiners on the beat, SVB and Signature Bank failed, requiring big bailouts.

The FDIC should explain why it’s now axing even more examiners whose job it is to make sure big banks don't crash our economy.
