The fact that Democrats won both elections yesterday for the Georgia Public Service Commission is remarkable enough (no Democrat had won a non-federal statewide race in GA since 2006).
But both won by a margin of 63% to 37%. In Georgia.

Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

Relieved that voters resoundingly rejected this fascist bullshit.
Angry that we still have at least another year of it, probably another three, and that we're by no means in the clear.
Livid that it all could have been avoided if we had simply not reelected the asshole who tried a coup.

Q: How comfortable are you w/Trump seeking $230m from the DOJ?
MIKE JOHNSON: Uh, I don't know the details. I just read it. I know he believes he's owed that reimbursement. What I heard is that if receives it, he's gonna consider giving it to charity. They attack him for everything. *changes topic*

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.
The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

A good friend is about to get mRNA therapy for Stage IV lung cancer. The idea that this heroin dealing, roadkill-eating probable rapist gets to condemn thousands to die in the decades ahead because his worm-addled brain is shot through with conspiracy is really too fucking depressing to contemplate.
CARTER: How could you possibly justify the decision to terminate HIV vaccines studies?
RFK JR: We've been promising an HIV vaccine since 1984 and every year Congress pours money into it
CARTER: Because they haven't come up with one, you then cut the forward motion by getting rid of NIH dollars?

Not a care about cops pressuring witnesses to lie. No worries about wrongly sending a man to death row. Nah. This prosecutor's first instinct is to defend a bad conviction by threatening the vulnerable people who were pressured to lie -- ensuring that others in a similar position won't come forward.

Margaret Brennan is fundamentally wrong on the claim that public approval of mass deportations is "so high." It has never been above 60%, and has been below 50% in multiple recent polls. There is no world in which that counts as "so high."
BRENNAN: The public approval is so high of deportation
PADILLA: It depends how you ask the question. If you ask the same people, 'Do you think we should maintain due process in the US?' the answer is overwhelmingly yes

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

I will hold the line on this. Right-wing violence has far more support, materially, institutionally and ideologically, in the U.S. than left-wing violence. There is no both-sidesing it.
And yes, this kind of violence has support on the right, in the form of pardons, statements of support from R politicians, and legitimate organizational forms (e.g. militias) that it simply does not have on the left
