BREAKING: Federal judges ruled that Texas Republicans CANNOT use their gerrymandered map in the 2026 midterm elections.

A TRUMP-APPOINTED JUDGE wrote in the ruling that "substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the map."

This is a HUGE WIN for democracy.

If we’re ever going to get out of the crisis we are in, it is going to take things like this: People who helped create the crisis reversing course.

We don’t have to erase what people like MTG did to get us here, but we should welcome things like the below if they turn out to be real changes.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

The Peril of a White House That Flaunts Its Indifference to the Law

The White House has made no legal argument explaining its bald claim that the president has wartime power to summarily kill people suspected of smuggling drugs.

The East Wing is gone.

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

Let’s be clear:

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.

Usually presidents don't have much of a direct impact on the economy. But in 2025, the downturn is ALL Trump. It's his tariffs, his shutdown, his ICE raids, his health care cuts.

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

This cannot be allowed to be normalized. The president demanding his perceived opponents be indicted and using his power to ensure it happens is deeply dangerous.
