Sorry for the length, but this is important.
The Trump administration is spreading more lies in an attempt to gain access to your data. Fraud is being used as the justification, but no public evidence has been presented showing new, widespread fraud in the five

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

435 isn’t a magic constitutional number. Congress can and should enlarge the size of the House. But it won’t.

The Supreme Court just escalated the redistricting war. Congress must end it. - The Boston Globe
The best solution would be to increase the size of the House of Representatives from its current 435 members.

We didn’t realize how bad Trump’s Biden-derangement syndrome really is. The first analysis found that he mentioned “Biden” an average of 6.32 times per day. That number has since climbed it’s now just over seven times a day.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?
