one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)
Trump's corrupt scheme to rig 2026 is suddenly falling apart:

*Court strikes down Texas GOP gerrymander
*Indiana GOP lacks votes to redraw map
*Big Dem win in Virginia could give Ds more seats

A big indicator of this fascist moment, for me, was exposing Hanania’s past as pseudonymous white supremacist blogger, him issuing a non-apology apology then writing gutter racist shit under real name, & nevertheless enjoying mainstream success

So the President is an aging pedophile who shut down the government to stop people from finding out and two people with pretty large audiences who are considered "journalists" by too many people in this country are airing out their tawdry affair which included the HHS Secretary. I'd say we're cooked

Someone hacked his lawyer's office and published their internal memos a few years ago. They obviously should not be admissible in court, but they should change your personal opinion of him. He told his lawyers he did what he was accused of.
A woman reported that Ronaldo assaulted her in Vegas in 2009. "In recent months, Ronaldo has also been part of diplomatic efforts to woo the U.S. President Donald Trump."
The United States Soccer Federation and the Portuguese Football Federation will soon confirm a match between their men’s teams to take place in Atlanta in March 2026.

The match could end an almost 12-year absence for Cristiano Ronaldo from playing football in the U.S.

Weird, why has he been away for so long?? I assume this is covered in the linked article.
The United States Soccer Federation and the Portuguese Football Federation will soon confirm an exhibition match between their men’s teams to take place in March 2026.

This would bring Cristiano Ronaldo back to the U.S. for the first time since 2014.

My top 5 movie genres:

-Airplane of criminals is hijacked, lands in Las Vegas
-Criminal and cop trade faces
-Navy Seals take over Alcatraz with poison gas, scientist and Brit save the day
-Dog plays basketball
-White guy with Nothing to Lose and Black guy with Nothing to Lose meet, hi-jinx ensue
What are your top 5 movie genres? Mine are:

Existential Soviet Cinema
French hipsters play at acting and movies
Screwball cynicism meets Capraesque heart
British flamboyance and theatrics that are resolutely antithetical to the British moral majority
Arnie being Arnie
- Films from 1932 in which three chorus girl gold diggers who share a flat try to survive the Depression
- Craggy former gunslinger bleakly confronts his life’s work
- Miscarriage of justice documentary
- Half-arsed ‘80s buddy comedy
- Holly Hunter whispering

Real "the Lord sent you 16 boats" hours for my rejoining the flock going on.
The U.S. bishops defended migrant families. Tom Homan snapped. Nan Hayworth called Pope Leo a “tool of our enemies.” Tim Burchett accused the church of getting rich off of sex trafficking.

Matt Walsh, Lara Logan, and the rest joined in. This is what MAGA anti-Catholicism looks like.
“Pope Leo Is a Tool of Our Enemies”: Homan Leads MAGA Attacks as Hayworth, Others Pile On
It’s the latest MAGA attack on Pope Leo’s pro-immigrant stance. Disgraced border chief Tom Homan — caught taking a $50,000 bribe in a Cava takeout bag — led the charge against Leo and the bishops.
