This is George Washington’s copy of the Constitution. You can see—faintly—in the margin, he was carefully noting which parts of the Constitution were “President powers.”

Those three deserve every brickbat but let’s not exempt all the other GOP senators who voted to confirm RFK Jr (the only no was McConnell, a polio survivor).

Donald Trump, if you will not stand down, California will be forced to lead an effort to redraw our maps to offset the rigging of maps in red states.

If the other states call off their redistricting efforts, we will do the same. And American democracy will be better for it.

@repsummerlee.bsky.social to MAGA voters: "This is the moment where he lied directly to you. He said that he would release these files... But when the rubber met the road, they would not do it. When they were afraid that there would be accountability for themselves, they want to hide it."

I was an intern for Birch Bayh for 1 semester in 1980 through Trinity College, Washington, DC. He authored the 25th (orderly transition of power)and 26th (lowered voting age to 18) Amendments. He authored Title IX (bans gender discrimination in federally funded institutions of learning). Great man.

Yes, rural Trump voters will now have to drive three states to get to a hospital but think of all the slurs they can say freely on that road trip now.

Where it starts is never where it starts. The news that DOJ is prioritizing denaturalizations, combined with very vague explanations of who they will prioritize, is deeply concerning. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
