Heather Cox Richardson has the tally at 60. If Canada decided we were a bunch of druggies and noped 60 Maine lobstermen, we would carpet bomb Toronto

This is how the GOP thinks it can achieve permanent minority rule.
The new map targets the district of Democratic US House Rep. Don Davis, which has been represented by a Black member of Congress for more than three decades, shifting it from a district Trump won by 3 points to 12 points under the new lines.

Republicans are making one of the most gerrymandered states in the nation even more rigged
North Carolina Republicans just passed a new Trump-inspired congressional map to oust a Black Democrat.

This is pretty brazen.
Mike Johnson shamelessly lies: "We strengthened Medicaid. We improved healthcare access and we lowered premiums with our legislation."

Conservative teen Brilyn Hollyhand has infuriated MAGA faithful with his private jet ride and aspirations to Charlie Kirk's legacy. But is he overstating his connections to TPUSA?

Siri, how did the Rwandan genocide start?
If Democrats don't make this the biggest story in the country for the next several days - and either force Republicans to denounce it or not, what are we even doing here?

I don't care where Amelia Earheart is; I want to know where the four guys they took on their way to work at my local Mexican joint are. I want to know where the 1200 missing detainees from Alligator Alcatraz are. Tell me where my *neighbors* are, you unaccountable Temu jackboots.

Make War Crimes Great Again
The MAGA monocultural revolution is so thorough that Hegseth made it a priority to honor soldiers who carried out war crimes in 1890.

Amazon has been ordered to pay $2.5 billion in fines and refunds for deceiving customers about Prime memberships. We think we can get that down to $500 million if we offer a weekly Washington Post column to Erika Kirk.

We don't have the death penalty for drug dealing anywhere in the United States, even if they were tried and convicted. This is just not a killing crime, ever, and I don't understand how we can just go around killing Venezuelans in international waters because they are im boats
you cant just blow up 17 people because they are in a boat...
you cant even blow up 17 people if they got the drugs in their hands

"Instead of a traditional public address from a world leader, U.S. President Donald Trump tilted back his badly-dyed hair-sprayed coif and howled at the moon for the better part of an hour"
Trump's UN speech was such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than Trump.

Trump’s UN Address Was a Tragedy of Shakespearian Proportions
Of course, the president’s main messages today were ones of irrationality and instability, so who knows what the plot points and soliloquies will be tomorrow or next week.
