This is worth celebrating! Some of the bad bills that would have rolled back voting rights, restricted reproductive freedom, dictated personal choices, and implemented Project 2025-style policies here in Indiana are dead this legislative session.

In 2019, when Trump wanted John Ratcliffe as his head of National Intelligence, Democrats called him shockingly unqualified, noting his only qualification was loyalty to Trump. Trump had to pull the nomination and do a recess appointment.
Today, only 25 Dems voted against him for head of the CIA.

This is kind of a self-own. If you believe that strongly about it, quit using them altogether. Otherwise, acknowledge that you’re willing to completely sell out your principles because you’re addicted to using a social media app. Or just admit that you’re not all that pissed off in the first place.
