In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding.
When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic.
Well...here we are.

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is:
In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.”
In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

A thing people don't remember about 2003 is that "they have WMDs" was the pitch to *high-info* voters.
The pitch to low-info voters was "the dastardly muslims attacked us on 9/11 and we have to hit them back by deposing the muslim king saddam hussein who attacked us"

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Mike Johnson and Co. are likely giddy at the prospect of triggering the Rapture… WHICH IS NOT A LEGITIMATE READING OF SCRIPTURE AND IS JUST SPARKLING NIHILISM COATED IN ANTI-SEMITISM, WHY IN THE NAME OF DOLLY PARTON’S SAINTED WIG ARE WE LETTING THESE PEOPLE ANYWHERE NEAR THE LEVERS OF GOVERNMENT?!
The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.
MAGA voted for the Book of Revelations, and we’re getting it.

the political lesson everyone should take from Iraq is that you will regret being in favor of this sooner or later and the earlier you were against it the better off you’ll be
ignore the media frenzy and stake your position now, it’s the right thing to do and it’s the ambitious thing to do too

Obama signed the Iran Nuclear Deal; Iran stopped enrichment; Trump ended the Deal to spite Obama; he was told enrichment would restart; it did

No, Democrats should not welcome Elon Musk into the party.
In fact, BOTH major political parties should be rejecting their billionaire owner-donors.
The Dems have a 27% approval rating, the GOP is at 36%.
