It’s poetic justice watching the GOP’s gerrymandering and voter suppression schemes explode in their faces. They tried to rig the game, but voters saw their blatant authoritarianism and chose democracy instead. What a beautiful, well-deserved humiliation.
Voters soundly reject Trump's plot to rig the next election
On Tuesday, Democrats passed new congressional maps, defeated GOP attempts to make it harder to vote, and protected pro-democracy judges.

They waited *more than an hour* to enter the Hortman home after watching Mark Hortman get shot in the doorway

Unbelievably tragic & heartbreaking

And, of course, they publicly congratulated themselves on a great, lifesaving police response when they’d let a lawmaker bleed out. Uvalde is everywhere
New details about police activity after lawmaker shootings raise questions about response
The Minnesota Star Tribune found that Brooklyn Park police waited more than 60 minutes to enter the Hortman home and that several law enforcement agencies were unaware of the situation for hours.

ICE is coming into places of work, schools and even homes, but they will not allow our elected representatives to enter their facilities.
If ICE were acting entirely within the law and maintaining good conditions in all its facilities, they would not be turning Congresspeople away.

But they clearly aren't.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Mark Pocan just blew the lid off a MAGA cover-up: FOUR Republican Senators switched their votes to confirm Trump’s cabinet after their families got death threats from MAGA lunatics. That’s not democracy. It’s terrorism - and it’s infecting the GOP from inside.

These charges are so stupid. There was an ICE agent **in the elevator** with the defendant after he left the courtroom. But oh yeah, the state judge somehow obstructed ICE because she let the defendant leave the courtroom through a side entrance.

The Trump DOJ is run by morons and thugs.
Seeing claims about the judge "hiding" the defendant. Read the complaint, folks (written by DOJ). The guy was literally in the public area where the agents were. I guess he got on an elevator before they could get to him. The complaint says after letting the defendant exit she came back to the bench

The very LAST thing I want to see is that cotton candy haired shitbag standing in front of the flag draped caskets giving a thumbs up and that stupid grin for another photo op.

No, go golfing. It's actually less of an insult than showing up.

Again, fuck Trump.

The two most powerful Republican politicians in America - the president and co-president of the United States - are publicly praising and defending and excusing the crimes of a far-right foreign politician who leads a party founded by a Holocaust-denying neo-Nazi.

We are in a very, very dark place.

When Harris said it would be $4,000, the “fact-checkers” tut-tutted and claimed what she said was only “half true” because there were some lower estimates. The “fact-checkers” lied; Harris was telling the truth.
