It's looking like a clean sweep for Dems today. NYC mayor, NJ & VA governor, VA Lieutenant Gov, VA Attorney General, 30 VA state delegates, Cincinnati mayor, special Congressional election in TX... There's gonna be a LOT of "it was rigged!" b.s. coming out of maga in the morning 😅😅

Democrats having a good night & they won governorship of both Virginia and New Jersey and Mayor of NYC. And California seems likely to pass Prop 50.

This is a staggering survey result from The Economist. 1/3rd of Republicans support Trump's threat to deport U.S. citizens who criticize them. Maga hates the 1st amendment, but loves fascism

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

While SCOTUS has (corruptly) given blanket immunity to Presidents, FCC chairpeople aren't immune from prosecution. When Dems take back the presidency in 2028, they need to file charges against Carr. Putting him in prison would send a message.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.
