Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

There is no one of value left on the old bird site @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful.

It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

If only there was a party other than the Democrats. Or maybe in reality, the leaders and employees of the Democratic party
I'm sorry but the Dems are ridiculously bad at their Hegspeth questions. IMO, if you want to prove someone is incompetent, you ask them the hardest strategic questions they will have to know to succeed at the job

I ran the networking practice at a consultancy in 2002, and our CTO insisted we push our customers to move off of IPv4 because we were rapidly running out of address space.

It seemed obvious to ignore her then, and remains so 22 years later.
IPV6 walks into a bar.
No one talks to it.
