Denverite. Loving twin. Sound like I'm irritated even though it is just me trying to comply with the character limit. Socially liberal. Economically progressive. Have a heart.

GOV. WALZ on Trump’s racist attack on Somali Americans: “Unprecedented. We have kids going to school today and the president called them ‘garbage’ — condemn this attack or you are complicit in it… the only thing hurting this state is Trump himself.”

There was a 13 point swing last night in TN-07.
If we see a 13 point swing in South Carolina in Nov 2026 Lindsey Graham will be retired and I will be the first ever pediatrician Senator.

Trump says he's terminating any Biden pardons signed with autopen
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he is terminating all documents, including pardons, that he said his predecessor Joe Biden had signed using an autopen, a move that legal experts doubted would hold up in court.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

I've never been to Somalia, but I wrote in The Family about US Christian nationalism's role in devastating it, and I've been blessed by knowing a few fabulous Somali-Americans, some of whom escaped the horrors of US warring on their land. Trump isn't fit to touch the hem of their garments.

Let me get this straight. Trump is bombing fishermen in international waters because of the so-called 'drug wars' and then pardoned, uh, a convicted drug trafficker?

I am not sure why people don't understand the difference between support of the conduct of the political nation state of Israel and broad antisemitism cannot reside in the same person. Every single time I hear, like, Ted Cruz open his mouth, it's there. The right-wing is so antisemitic it hurts.
