Nothing more disgusting happening right now than some of the vile shit people are saying and spreading about the LA fires on the other platforms 🤢

How have we come so far that we’ve completely ditched basic human decency in exchange for likes and clicks…?

Indeed. The people given media attention are indoctrinated to believe that economic growth can only come from tax cuts, wage losses, or reduced regulation, and so they will invariably treat growth under Democratic Presidents as a temporary aberration.
I want everyone to take a moment today to think about how today's GDP report--which showed the economy grew at a whopping 4.9% rate last quarter--would have been covered under the previous administration.

WHEN I SCREAM ABOUT EVERY. ELECTION. MATTERING. this is exactly why...

This is a story that doesn't get the attention it deserves, so I occasionally go on about it.

In 2022, the NC Supreme Court (NCSC) ruled against a GOP partisan gerrymander. So the GOP got to work, and elected a GOP majority on the court that year. That court instantly agreed to rehear the case.
North Carolina Republicans just enacted their new state House gerrymander that makes it impossible for Dems to win a majority in this key swing state.

The GOP will likely even win a veto-proof 3/5 majority outside of Dem wave years.

the predictable and inevitable consequence of not enforcing any consequences on the elected coup plotters is that they are now in more power and are going to try again.
