So, yeah, I'm at this place.
Happy to start new mutual follows or, if you know me from the other place, renew old ones.

Did everyone chug lead juice this morning? Why aren't the police being called? This man just threatened the lives of elected officials. If I posted that shit, would the DOJ bring me in? You can't possibly argue this was "an official duty of the office" or whatever bullshit free pass SCOTUS gave him
EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN CONGRESS should be pressed about Trump calling for their colleagues to be killed

No one should have to face such threats.
It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

I don’t understand why Dems have to choose? “Trump is a corrupt billionaire pedo whose self-serving policies have made your life more expensive” is not that hard of a message imo
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...
Force A Referendum On The Epstein Coverup
It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

donald trump won 2 elections when he was out of power by making over the top promises uncritically reported on by a compliant media
hes lost every election held while hes holding power because he doesnt actually care or follow through or even really try if it doesnt benefit him personally

winning was easy, governing's harder. turns out when you're in charge of everything, voters know that.

Thune is gambling on the idea that the median voter does not have even the most basic knowledge of the bill that Trump and the Republican Party just passed, which made reducing access to health care a core means to pay for tax cuts.

Fairweather federalists: A coalition of MAGA attorneys general file amicus brief supporting Donald Trump’s militarization of a sovereign state and city.
Of note: This is not surprising, given some of these same actors supported overturning the election results in states Joe Biden won.

The people who loved Charlie Kirk loved him because he told them they were right to hate and fear a wide swath of their fellow citizens. The first amendment protects his right to do that, but it’s not what civil discourse in a modern democracy should look like.
