When a sitting president calls for death to lawmakers, it’s not a warning sign, it’s the emergency siren. He is talking like a dictator and telling you exactly how he plans to use his power.
This is how democracies fall and how dictatorships begin.

Tommy Tuberville’s running for governor, his buddy for lieutenant governor. Both Republicans, one doesn’t even live in the state and the other’s never voted in his life. Yet they expect Alabama to hand them the ball. 🥴

the average first-time home buyer age is the highest it's ever been at 38. that's because nobody has the money to afford a house anymore. except, apparently, the people who pick our fruit and clean our homes

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.
