Every race. It’s basically been every race.
Governors. Mayors. Long-held GOP dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three GOP Uber drivers.
Just everything.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.
Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.
For the crime of … complaining about government policy.
Core 1A speech.
With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

He is not intent on preventing disease. He’s intent on letting it run wild. That’s how he’s going to “make America healthy again.” Whatever doesn’t kill us will make us stronger. Public health is, therefore, not a goal. It’s an obstacle to overcome.

Why would the DOJ scrub the fact that right-wing extremism is the #1 domestic terror threat in America?
Why not acknowledge and confront it?
Also why haven't they released the Epstein Files?
Also why did Ghislaine Maxwell get a sweetheart deal transfer?
These problems won't go away.
