it's (darkly) funny that the tech titans' politics are basically "we have no choice but to end representative government because my employees asked for a slight raise in 2020"

I believe that Trump, Mike Johnson and Greg Abbott should not have started this and continued with it in multiple states to rig the midterms. No Democrats want this, but we can’t unilaterally disarm in the face of multiple threats to fair representation nationwide.

What's happening in Texas (and possibly NY, CA, IN, and elsewhere) around gerrymandering is a reminder: The Democratic Party needs to invest in winning state legislative races *every cycle, all the time.* You never know when a crisis will hit and we'll wish we had more seats or different leaders.

A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.

So lemme get this straight.
Pelosi goes on TV and says ignore Epstein, we need to focus on kitchen table issues.
Then Jeffries has the opportunity to filibuster the recissions package but doesn't because of vacations scheduled.
Fire everybody.

Maybe quit voting for their fucking bills then? Maybe quit confirming their nominees? Maybe shut down the Senate with the many procedural tools available to you? Maybe do something other than send sternly worded letters?
Sen. Padilla thrown to the ground, manhandled, brutally taken down, handcuffed
It's disgusting
Reeks of totalitarianism
Un-American
Not what democracies do
Sen. Padilla was in that building to ask questions of what's going on in California, doing his duty to his constituents

Under 65 years old? No Novovax COVID vaccine for you this year.
As expected, the Republicans have enabled RFK Jr. and his coterie of antivax grifters to take away your right to make your own medical decisions in consultation with your doctor.

It's even worse than this! "No one can be deprived of liberty without due process of law" goes back to Runnymede, far predating the United States. (and further: the barons who wrote the Magna Carta also believed they were merely enshrining in writing rules that already existed since time immemorial)
The U.S. is 250 years old. We should not have to constantly relitigate incredibly basic shit like “everyone is entitled to due process” or “presidents must obey court orders” like these are new or unsettled questions.

The Trump Administration is trying to end birthright citizenship. They're arguing in front of the Supreme Court. I'm sure Alito and Thomas will find a way to ignore "originalism" and the text of the Constitution.

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

Or, instead of begging Republicans, the Democratic Senators could object to unanimous consent and bring the Senate to a halt.
This would drive media coverage and attention and reach low-engagement voters, bringing Trump’s approval w/ them down by providing political info they don’t normally get.

It was one month ago (tomorrow) that US Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that Trump admin needed to 'facilitate' return of K Abrego Garcia from prison in El Salvador.

So it’s Friday night and Rumeysa Ozturk is out on bail, Ras Baraka is in Homeland Security custody, and Stephen Miller is casually toying with suspending habeas corpus. Do I have that right?
