When the right loses both Joe Rogan and Marjorie Taylor Greene on the issues in the same week, you know it’s going to get rough for Republicans.
Joe Rogan on ICE: “The way it looks is just horrific.”
QAnon queen MTG on the economy: “I’m just living in reality from here on out.”

Here's my capsule summary of the proposed California congressional maps, which protect half a dozen Democratic incumbents and could create a swing between D+1 (on a bad night) & D+5 (on a good one), with the seats held by Adam Gray (D) & David Valadao (R) now the true swing districts.
Proposed California Congressional Maps Maintain Several Battleground Races
While a half-dozen Democratic incumbents were protected, a couple still face tough contests, and two of the five Republicans targeted in the map could still eke out victories.

Yes, Newsom is a careerist. He's that band that made a glam rock album, a grunge, a garage revival, and an indie pop to match the era. You will question his sincerity. He moves with the trend. 1/5

Democracy Dies in Whatever TF This Is.
Planes roared over D.C. on Saturday, tanks rolled along the National Mall, brass bands resounded and thousands of soldiers marched past cheering crowds, as the Army put on the largest show of military might in the capital in more than three decades. wapo.st/4dYFOck

There aren’t special “Fascism Is Here Now” banners that get unfurled to signal the end of democracy. We're there now. Trump is defying a 9–0 Supreme Court order. Schumer said this was his red line. If he won't act, we need to replace him with a leader who will. newrepublic.com/article/1940...
OK, Chuck Schumer. Trump Just Crossed Your Red Line. What Now?
The Democratic leader said he’d take “extraordinary action” if the president disobeyed the Supreme Court. Well, Trump is doing exactly that by refusing to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salva...

I am in shock at the stupidity of @gavinnewsom.bsky.social inviting Steve Bannon on his podcast. Many of us on the right sacrificed careers to fight Bannon, and Newsom is trying to make a career and a presidential run by building him up. Unforgivable and insane

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
