@leahlitman.bsky.social I almost hate to mention it, but if there’s even a remote chance that Dems retake the senate, the Heritage Foundation, et al, will be pushing for Alito and Thomas to retire.

Maybe I just wasn’t paying attention, but I’ve never seen so many voters in an off year election be driven by the president’s performance/behavior.

Refusing to perform Article I duties should be a criminal offense. It is no longer adequate to simply hold elected officials accountable at the ballot box every 2 or 6 years.

@gtconway.bsky.social Isn’t it time for someone to start challenging the Supreme Court’s all encompassing “absolute immunity” declaration one grotesque abuse of power at a time, each arguing a different case of “official duty”? At least it would force SCOTUS to have to look in the mirror every day.

@ahylton26.bsky.social The media talks a lot about why democrats are losing with their voters. If you spend time with unrepresented Dems in ruby red states you’d hear entirely different answers.
@ahylton26.bsky.social As a member of what I call the “Flyover Dems” can you help me understand why the media shows no interest in those of us living in red states who have zero representation in congress? The Democratic Party overlooks us because we aren’t swing state voters. We have some words 😡

I would love to see a “Coalition of Ruby Red Dems”. We have no voice in congress or the national party. Our local leaders only focus on local government. We are the Flyover Dems. We should demand access to elected party members in congress, even if only to share our perspectives and concerns.

Once again, when faced with pressure to provide offensive weapons to Ukraine, Trump runs to a summit to hide behind Putin’s skirt under the guise of being the “world’s greatest peacemaker”.

Trump publicly stokes hate and division in his own country every day. He does not deserve any “peace” prize.
Reminder: The guy demanding credit for a ceasefire in Gaza is the same guy instigating a civil war here at home.

While masked @ICEgov agents cosplay Seal Team 6 on our city streets we must give thanks to the real unmasked heroes who fearlessly protect our northern borders from thousands of airborne illegals. @DHSgov Stop these invaders!

While masked @ICEgov agents stalk innocent people in our cities, thousands of illegals are flying across our northern and southern borders. These invaders shit on our streets, chase our children out of parks and takeover large swaths of our land to breed their illegal offspring!

The Supreme Court is rewriting the US Constitution in service to Donald Trump and Project 2025, as if there will never be another Democratic President or Congress.

Looks like Trump’s Tariff Gravy Train has derailed. Treasury Sec Bessent looks nervous. Did he sink all that loot into Trump’s worthless crypto scheme?

Any legal professionals here that can weigh in on this question? I’m not expecting an answer from JV here, because these folks don’t usually give me the time of day.
@joycewhitevance.bsky.social Since the court has ruled that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in LA violated Posse Comitatus Act would guard leaders and members be following illegal orders when they enter Chicago?

Has anyone actually been in a Dem “focus group”? I wonder if they only happen in battleground districts. They keep saying “we need to meet voters where they are”, but I don’t think they even know where we are. These people are operating in a bubble. Even the consultants only talk among themselves.
