Threatening to vote third party again, in the Year of Our Lord 2025, is a signal that you've already given up.

You're basically stating that you looked into Nietzsche's abyss and blinked.

Miss me with that bullshit.

There reasons why the U.S. administration might seek to rush along peace talks. But there are major risks with a rushed peace process, and these significantly outweigh any benefits of such a deal. As the saying goes, "if you want it bad, you get it bad."

In Moscow's Shadows 235: From a GRU to a Kill

Yes, that's a lame James Bond title wordplay. Lt Gen Vladimir Alexeyev, military intelligence 2/ic is shot. Whodunnit, whydunnit, and what will it mean? Of course, I don't know, but I have a stab at these qs.

As a reminder:
Senate was 48 Dems, 2 Independents who caucused with Dems and 50Rs. Required VP Harris as a tie breaker.

House started at 221 D, 211 R and 2 vacancies.

Razor thin majorities but passed huge pieces of legislation.

Keep a very close eye in Louisiana tonight. Dems are trying to keep a Trump +13 seat.

Good start!
First results out of the Louisiana #HD60 (Trump+13) special election:

Chasity Martinez (D)- 55.6%
Brad Daigle (R)- 44.4%

Just early vote, but Harris lost the early vote here by around 15-20 points in 2024, so good start for the Democrats in their attempt to retain this seat.

Lotta conservatives posing this 'info'. I can't speak to its accuracy but I've taken to asking them - why does Trump need an extra $75 billion to deport fewer people than Obama did?

Our opinion page published a guest piece on Lindsey Vonn that was misogynistic trash. I had thoughts.
Your Lindsey Vonn advice is misogynistic trash. Keep it to yourself
A recent opinion piece about Lindsey Vonn was ill-informed, condescending and misogynistic. Here's why.

Exactly right.
It’s a good lesson, I guess - the fringe left will never care what you do, how much you put on the line, it will sell you out in a heartbeat for not being the exact same kind of communist as they are.

the real answer here is congress is constitutional incapable of thinking more than two minutes ahead
it's kind of depressing that no one on the Democratic side of Congress has written to the state department to ask about the meeting with AB seperatists

One of my favorite classes in law school was remedies

Super underrated part of the law!

Have to pay attention to what courts actually order

Even if win on merits, often the rubber hits the road in what you get

Tazewell judge’s ruling didn’t apply to Department of Elections

One way Virginia Supreme Court could side step this whole thing?

Only injunction for Tazewell clerk to post the notice is before it

Whole thing is moot at this point

Doesn’t have power to order Department of Elections to stop referendum

Would be the ultimate cop out though
The lower court ruling only applied to the Tazewell clerk

It found the referendum process was flawed, but only ordered a limited remedy

So interesting procedural ? what Virginia Supreme Court is ruling on exactly

The referendum statewide or just the order about local clerk

ngl I hate the term “blue MAGA” but if any candidate fits the bill it’s Crockett. no actual policies or vision, just AI slop and owning the cons (which i support, to be clear, but it isn’t how a Dem wins in Texas)
Impressive mental health section on Jasmine Crockett's website this morning. Check out that second paragraph.

The Virginia Department of Elections has posted info about the redistricting referendum

Early voting starts in 1 month

Looks like full speed ahead unless Virginia Supreme Court tells them otherwise
