You know the same Utah republicans who complained vehemently about “outside groups pouring money into the Prop 4 effort”?
Well, I guess the hypocrites are only ok with outside cash that benefits them and pokes Utah constituents in the eye for wanting a voice.

A Trump-aligned dark money group is bankrolling the Utah GOP's push to repeal the state's anti-gerrymandering law.
Securing American Greatness, which spent tens of millions supporting Trump, just dropped 7 figures into the effort.

I need every journalist to follow up this line of reasoning by asking, "Why would voting to release these files make Trump a lame duck president? Why would releasing the files be damaging to the president?"
Seems like a pretty reasonable line of questioning.

Barrasso won't commit to holding a Senate vote on an Epstein files measure and says, "this is not about truth, this is about an attempt by the Democrats to make President Trump a lame duck president and I'm not gonna aid and abet them in their effort to do that."

Why are we millions demolishing the East Wing of the White House? Just put out an announcement that Trump lost an election, have him say there's going to be a big event at the East Wing, and his supporters will come and demolish it for free.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Pretty conveniently forgetting to mention that the FBI counterintelligence investigation was to uncover efforts by Russia to interfere in the 2016 election. And that the eventual Mueller report "identified numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump campaign".
Sen. Hagerty: "This goes all the way back to Obama. I moved into Trump Tower the day after the election in 2016. The FBI came up and surveilled us then ... the real threat to democracy are Chuck Schumer and the Democrats."

Listening to Utah GOP lawmakers scold us while claiming they avoided partisan data to draw new congressional maps is rich.
Somehow, we are to believe they were unaware of an effort FROM THEIR OWN PARTY to support the map that gave them the biggest electoral edge.
Guess which map they passed. 🤔

This is so incredibly ugly. Every time I hear the words “religious freedom,” it’s code for let churches do whatever they want to inflict harm and stigma onto marginalized communities without fear of repercussions. So very very ugly. Shame on yourselves.

I do this silly thing when I'm driving in the rain, where I judge other cars on the road based on how fast their wipers are going.
Blazing fast? Must be an incompetent driver.
Super slow wipers = expert in their element.
Nevermind that being able to see while driving is pretty important.

Leavitt: "President Trump will end the radical left's reign of terror in Portland once and for all. The president has directed Secretary Hegseth to provide all necessary troops to protect war-ravaged Portland."

WE HAVE THE BIGGEST STICK! YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE HOW BIG OUR STICK IS! I CANNOT YELL LOUDLY ENOUGH ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE STICK WE HAVE!

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇
Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

You heard him, Utah, he's telling us that Mike Lee doesn't deserve to work for us.
Mike Johnson on free speech: "If I'm an employer or I'm a government agency and I have somebody in my employ who is online celebrating the heinous murder of an innocent person, a young husband and father, I can make the decision that they don't deserve to work for me ... I think that's appropriate."

I am 100% for democrats doing this. Make it super obvious why. If the end result is that the GOP is sick of losing seats and bi-partisan legislation is introduced to eliminate gerrymandering altogether, even better.
@marcelias.bsky.social: We "need to tell Republicans that if they take 5 seats, we're going to put 30 seats on the table... When people say to me 'don't bring a knife to a gunfight,' I don't even want to bring a gun to a gunfight. I want to bring missiles to the gunfight."
