Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.
Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

One of the most under reported stories in the legacy media is how many states the RNC and DOJ are suing right now to access their voter rolls. It is a frontal assault on democracy that Democracy Docket covers every day, while legacy media both-sides Trump. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

1. The President of the United States has raped multiple girls.
2. And multiple women.
3. We knew this before electing him over a wildly competent woman in 2016.
4. And again in 2024.
5. This is one single story about our profound hatred of girls & women.
6. It’s killing us.

Today, USAID shuts down.
Experts say this could lead to 14 million deaths by 2030—including 4.5 million babies and children under 5.
Let’s not forget, Trump recently let a warehouse full of food aid rot rather than feed the hungry.
This isn’t America first. It’s America heartless.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
