Dear House Republicans,

Most of you don’t have a 22-point head start. But definitely keep kissing that orange ass.

Sincerely,
Democrats

Even accounting for the new congressional maps, a swing like Aftyn Behn's (Trump+22 to D-8.6) would net Dems 259 seats in the midterms.

Even if the swing is *half* of tonight's, Dems win the House with 229 seats

A two-time NYT-bestselling Trump presidential historian who’s also an award-winning lyric poet with an online following of millions writes and arranges a full-length Trump Family rock opera based on years of research.

Newsworthy, per the NYT? No. (*Fruitcake recipes* are newsworthy.)

Everyone saw this coming.

Trump stiffed his contractors, then fell out w/his architect because he refused to back his demand for a ballroom bigger than the WH.

And those corporate donations he keeps bragging about are pledges, not real money. Taxpayers will end up on the hook one way or another.

This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Over 200 men were sent by Kristi Noem-in violation of a court order-to the CECOT prison for terrorists

She claimed they were criminals. In reality, most had no criminal records, and many had valid claims for asylum

They were tortured. Beaten. Sexually abused. Even shot.

"US senators say they spoke with Rubio about Trump’s Ukraine peace plan who denied it is a US plan." Welcome to the Topsy Turvy administration in which six or seven people are pursuing their own private foreign policy, and much of it is scripted by a hostile foreign power.

Warning for North Carolina: Scams are increasing, and the confusion is being made worse by ICE agents failing to properly identify themselves and wearing masks. As a result, residents are becoming targets of immigration fraud.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Congress, pay attention. We the People decide where our money goes — not the President. And we are demanding full support for Ukraine, with everything they need to win. Trump does not hold the power of the purse. The American people do. Act accordingly.

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

A horrifying graphic from Pew showing the fruits of the right wing war on public health.

Only 48% of Republicans believe that vaccines prevent serious illness, while 80% of Democrats do.

This is not a difference of opinion in science. This is the result of a ruthless disinformation campaign.

The statistics here are unambiguous, and always have been. Immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than native born Americans and undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than documented immigrants. WHICH IS ENTIRELY UNSURPRISING!

Funny how the right is all about “leaving it up to the states” until the states don’t do they want… then they just federally ban it.

Also see: abortion rights.
