I mean the GOP has likely gained 20-30 seats now thanks to the upcoming end of voting rights act and the constant redistricting assures like a solid 20+ seats for them now. Even a landslide isn't going to be enough
Oh, and a Heritage stooge now owns the voting machines lmao

Two civil rights attorneys who had spoken out against the Trump administration’s efforts to weaken enforcement of the Fair Housing Act were dismissed from their posts. Their work enforcing the Fair Housing Act (a cornerstone of U.S. civil rights) involved investigating and prosecuting landlords,

I've been trying to document the worst of the Trump Admin every week since inauguration in. I don't take a deep dive on any single subject intentionally. I am trying to capture the breast of the awfulness . Usually 15 to 20 items. Take a look if you are interested.

This is the latest.

Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards.

Me, via “One First”:
161. The Court's Disastrous Ruling in the Third-Country Removal Case
The majority did not just greenlight an especially odious immigration policy without any explanation; it did so in a case in which the government defied the district court—twice—with no consequence.

This decision is bad enough on the merits. But it also gives the government relief in a case in which it defied the district court at least *twice.* That’s quite a message to send to the government with respect to the costs of its litigation behavior in other cases—or the complete lack thereof.

Been thinking about if Obama or Biden, in utter chaos, implemented unheard of tariffs that roiled world markets, crashed the US dollar, and then said a resulting recession is ok— just trust me.

Sanders: He now wants to take away CBS’s license because they did a story that criticized him. Oh my word, CBS criticized him! Oh, let’s drive them out of business, how terrible… If you can’t take criticism, get out of the political process. This is a democracy

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Every day, it looks more like a regime.

Now the Trump administration is pushing to put Columbia University under a consent decree—a court-enforced agreement that would legally bind the school to federal demands, with a judge overseeing whether they “comply.”

Had a great day of rallying against the self-inflated Orange Git today in very red country. Maybe 2000 in Yakima, WA for the Hands Off Rally. It was peaceful, exuberant, and hopeful. In a parallel story, Moody's Mark Zandi says we're aiming at a recession now; more market trouble on Monday.

I'm hoping to switch over from Facebook to Bluesky. The Zuckerburg algorithm is deleting Heather Cox Richardson as per the executive orders from Trump regarding DEI and this is not only a bridge too far, but will only get worse going forward. America is moving into new authoritarian territory.
