It is an absolute moral failing that the American public elected this man. How is this man still in the White House?

Seems hopeful but first thing a D House should do is expel him for failure to seat Grijalva. Time to start reconstituting norms.
Mike Johnson: "What happened last night is blue states and blue cities voted blue. We all saw that coming. And no one should read too much into last night's election results."

Sorry, but if the repressed group itself has requested that a name no longer be used, this is simply not a "woke outcry."
If the brand is really this tone-deaf, it's time to move on, with a little more respect for fellow human beings above badges.

time to completely neuter the presidency
shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

These maps always get southern Maryland wrong. It's Tidewater, and the line sets at Accokeek Road across PG County. (How do you divide Chincoteague and Assateague between north and south?)
This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

They really think America is far more right-wing than it is, which requires ignoring actual data.
