There is absolutely nothing to suggest this is the Democrats top priority or even one of their priorities.
But one can dream.

Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito received over $2.4 million in "unreported gifts" from conservative billionaires with business before the Supreme Court, funneled through an organization whose mission is to pack the SCOTUS with their right-wing judges.
Unrig the Supreme Court.

More than anything else classism is that if you lose your company half a million you get fired, but if Zuck loses Meta 77 billion he gets paid $28 million.
Meritocracy doesn't fail due to DEI, if fails becaues we can't ever let a rich nimrod suffer consequences for any level of screwup.

When you consider that the USPS pays $10 billion into Treasury bonds every year, at a $9 billion loss, that would technically still be a $1 billion profit for the government.

What drives me crazy is I don’t see any politicians framing it this way.
I don’t want to say none are. But I don’t see it. I’d like to see a nice loud defense of the Postal SERVICE. It’s crucial and it’s affordable and it’s worth speaking up for.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

There’s just no choice anymore. There should be zero Republican House reps from blue states. None.
the democratic response to this must be, in the words of @dennycarter.bsky.social, to go goblin mode on redistricting in the states where they have a trifecta. eliminate every republican district in those states.
This isn't a Supreme Court, it's just six Republican operatives imposing law on the rest of us in order to help Trump and MAGA destroy the Constitution and impose authoritarian rule.

I don’t think the odds are in favor of SCOTUS turning around and blocking California’s congressional maps, but it’s gotta be at least like 25% that they do right?

“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire
they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is
nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.

DC statehood is the moderate position.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

I cannot imagine ever wanting to attend a university where my studies are limited rather explicitly to what is needed for professional licensure or even just explicitly relevant to my chosen professional pathway.
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

Don’t have strong feeling on the situation or the parties involved overall, but it’s sad to see Lane Kiffin mature and succeed into a likeable figure only to seemingly go right back to villain status so willingly.
