With Texas Democrats using the most powerful tool available to the minority party – a quorum break – Republicans are furious they don’t have enough members present to hold a vote on their gerrymandered map that could add five more GOP seats in Congress in 2026.

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises.
But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.

Over on The Hellsite, JD Vance has now functionally called for an end to due process for migrants. His argument is riddled with deceptions, bad faith, and embarrassingly awful logic. I think it needs a real response, so here's what I put up over there.

Of course Trump will demand more from law firms because the extortionist is never done extorting. Their “deals” may require their agreement on pro bono clients, but it will be settled the same way these deals were negotiated. Agree or else.
