Before pundits explain away Taylor Rehmet’s historic TX win, here’s the lesson: voters are fed up with an economy that isn’t working—even many who backed Trump.
Candidates win by running on middle-out economics: raising wages, fighting corporate power, and lowering costs.

This is what I don’t understand. I don’t know where the fuck everyone is either. I honestly thought Trump and his evil stooges would have been taken out by the military by now. I’m kind of shocked actually. We’ve always claimed to be the most powerful country, but nobody has any balls. NOBODY!!

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.
