really important element of this basically total victory is that it puts the fear of god in republican incumbents and may bring the redistricting push to a total halt

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

not to bring the vibe down, but my guess is that after tonight Trump will probably double down on gerrymandering, voter suppression, and intimidation as tactics to disincentivize Dem turnout ahead of next year‘s midterms. (with margins like these, it won’t matter, but it’s a time to be vigilant)

It’s time for multiparty democracy and a limited executive.

glancing through this, it basically follows that path of ilan wurman's "scholarship," ignoring the actual text and legislative record in favor of the basic assertion that the plain meaning of the text *can't* be true.
24 states have filed a brief at the Supreme Court in support of the Trump administration's effort to curb birthright citizenship, suggesting that it is not correct to say the issue is "settled and beyond debate."

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

No one is above the law, except for every single Republican politician and activist convicted of a crime over the last decade because Trump has pardoned all of them or commuted their sentences.

Again, this is a liquidation of the union in all but letter of the law. This is reverse secessionism engineered by a central government.
NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.

I think it is about time that Democrats started familiarizing themselves with Lincoln’s response to Dred Scott instead of accepting the tacit premise that whatever a bare majority of the Supreme Court decides, dictates our constitutional fate
Segregationists spoke of the “long civil rights movement” as the “Second Reconstruction” and for inspiration turned to the Redemptionists, who declared war on the first Reconstruction and after many decades of legal and extralegal efforts Installed

Some Democrats who have no real ambitions to lead the party should say it openly in order to stop it in its tracks. Trump isn’t going to pardon everybody necessary to carry it out.

this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press
