I'm a data scientist but political violence threatens my job. I am struggling to support my family financially but hold two graduate degrees. What the hell happened?

There's around 20 congressional districts that appear vulnerable, given this model of the 119th Congress I developed. I used LASSO to select a set of significant and minimally colinear features to a logistic model, leveraging 2023 Census estimates from the ACS.

File suit for damages next time and not just to compel the federal government to release emergency dollars. We want all of our tax dollars back while the government is shut down.

"Exclusive: Trump lied!"

"You'll only hear about it at WaPo, folks!"

This smacks of desperation to get readers back.

Andy Harris does not want his voters to be able to afford healthcare.
If you steal from someone, it helps if they get sick and die before they have a chance to ask for their money back.

U.S. House Rep. Andy Harris, R-Maryland, told voters worried about rising health-care costs that costs are “just going back to what it was like before COVID."

The purchase of private equity using taxpayer dollars is literally communism.

Republican corruption is breathtakingly hypocritical.

General boycott. Go to demonstrations. Call every Republican member of Congress in your state. Attend town halls. Respond to polls. Volunteer to canvass. Volunteer at a local food bank. Volunteer as an election judge. Form a community watch for lawless enforcement action.

I doubt it. The current test asks "what does the legislative branch do?"

Those agents need to be arrested and charged with kidnapping. They're not following the law and they do not that the authority to make it up as they go.

Every small victory should be felt in a big way.

This woman's story should be shared nationally. It was a crime to detain her after being victimized for so long.

Deliberate. And not unusual for 2025

The call to action should be more than just showing up for protests. People need to start sacrificing their pocket books and apply broad spectrum boycotts. Stay engaged with your communities but knock off the frivolous spending.
And for God's sake no more Amazon.

Instead of blowing it up, wouldn't it be better for everyone if the boat was intercepted and the three smugglers arrested and questioned?
You know, unless you just want people to take it on faith you're telling the truth.

Not quite the media's fault, but the violent mobs watching Fox news. There's an undeniable appetite for this.

Mace told Rep McBride she shouldn't be allowed to use the bathroom, in a speech from the floor of the House.

Anyone calling themselves a journalist could have called that shit out right then on air.

This is the stupidest version of McCarthyism I've seen in a while. So much for the first amendment or honoring our service members.
