I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.
And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.
As the Constitution requires.
Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Trump is saying that he will disregard Congress and issue an Excutive order that will violate the Constitution.
Here is my promise: If he does that, we will sue and we will win. Just like we did the last time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump: ‘There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!’
"I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future," wrote Trump, who is not a lawyer.

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

It’s amazing how Trump does something so awful, so egregious, so repellent like posting a video of the Obamas as apes that he should be driven from office. But instead it’s all forgotten a week later. It is as much about our country as about him.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

In a jaw-dropping post, Trump vowed to impose new voter ID requirements ahead of the midterm elections “whether approved by Congress or not.” Yes, you read that correctly. Not pass a law. Not persuade lawmakers. Just… do it.

That's one reason why the powers that be freaked the fuck out about remote work. It allows people to fan out from the cities because you don't need to be in a city for a remote job. If millions of tech workers are voting from their Ohio hometown, Republicans would be finished.
