Cultist defends cult leader's death threats to Dems.
Mike Johnson just defended Trump when asked about responsibility for toning down dangerous rhetoric:
"I don't think you can put the blame on the president for any of that."

I have long said people don't be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts as much as they should be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts
“Roberts has been embedding white-dominant authoritarianism into the country’s source code for two decades. It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy.”
This all on the leader of the MAGA #scotus ↘️

Today we won a big victory in Texas but the fight for democracy is not over. We all need to steel ourselves for the battles ahead. We won't win them all, but we can never lose sight of what we need to do to prepare fee and fair elections.

AOC: Trump has been saying the economy is booming, but it’s really only seven tech companies. They’re driving this growth in just one sector: AI.
So the entire economic growth can be tracked down to seven companies and their AI expansion…

This case isn’t just a cautionary tale; it’s a warning siren blaring across the Justice Department: when you let politics, inexperience, and arrogance run the show, you don’t just embarrass yourselves you threaten the very credibility of the law.

Hmm: Ms Kendzior said: “the last things I posted were excerpts from my substack newsletter articles”. From her most recent “When I loved New York”: “for example, arrest war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu”. I wonder if that phrase gets you banned? sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/when-i-lov...

It’s been 6 weeks since Adelita Grijalva won her election.
Mike Johnson won’t swear her in & is dragging out the longest shutdown in history.
Congress is being paid.
They’re getting top of the line healthcare.
They’re not going hungry.
Yet they refuse to do their job.
Swear her in now.

California’s Prop 50 hugely important. Its approval by voters will not only combat Texas gerrymander but hopefully convince other Dem states to step up & counter Trump’s plan to rig midterms www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The state can strike the first blow against Trump's plan to subvert democracy.
