Yes this is great. But after FL, MO and other R states redistrict and SCOTUS kills the VRA, Republicans will have the technical means to make the baseline House balance +5 R on the national popular vote.
And it will all be perfectly legal.

There are 813,000 people in Tucson, Arizona without representation in Congress (thanks to Mike Johnson). I am one of them.
This is wrong.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Republicans are throwing 15 million people off of their health insurance and raising premiums by as much as 75% for people who get care from the ACA.

One reason Trump 2.0 is so different from Trump 1.0 is SCOTUS immunity decision. Without fear of criminal

As a Navy retiree, this is very disturbing. Rules are in place to protect the confidentiality of these records. These rules were ignored by several persons at several levels, and they were ignored for political reasons. I'm sure the cover-up is well underway. This is unacceptable.

Most of us knew all along that "Make America Great Again" really meant Make America White Again. But now that they feel there is no need for dogwhistles anymore, NO ONE can argue the point.Gee, Fox host suggested just killing homeless people, and he's still at his job. Very sick people in the GOP.
