Them, but also more directly: 285 people out of 535 could end all this (218 + 67). That fact should not be treated as an "oh they'll never do it" shrug, as if they don't have agency. They should be hammered constantly as traitors and cowards every day they don't.
Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates.
DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

It seems like a dodge but it’s actually quite damning that the Secretary of State was not even asked for his input on the pardon of a recent head of state of another country.
RUBIO: Maduro was indicted. Nobody ever did anything about it.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hernandez was convicted by a jury
RUBIO: The pardon authority is something I'm not involved in
STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you support it?
RUBIO: I wasn't involved in those deliberations. I haven't looked at the case file.

Caracas is under fire. Multiple U.S. strikes have hit key military sites: Fuerte Tiuna, La Carlota airbase, and a communications center in El Hatillo. Explosions echo through the capital, the power is out in parts of the city, and U.S. helicopters are flying low. Fires also rage near La Guaira.

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.
"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

If Congress follows Trump's directive to rename the Defense Department, it could cost taxpayers nearly $2B in new signage, letterheads, and digital code.
Imagine if we invested that money — and our bloated military budget as well — on the American people instead of the Pentagon.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

I’m v excited to share this one bc it was new info for me too! Canada’s larger by population, so Texas is more queer **by percentage** than Canada, despite the fact that they legalized gay marriage way earlier
Texas: 1.8m LGBTQ+ / 31 million total
Canada: 1.3m LGBTQ+ / 41 million total
Texas: 1.8m LGBTQ+ / 31 million total
Canada: 1.3m LGBTQ+ / 41 million total
I think it’s more of a function of Texas being the 2nd most populated state. But if it weren’t for the gerrymandering it probably would be a Blue state.
