Not breaking quorum and enabling fascism as a result.
NEW: The Texas Senate passes a redistricting map that could add five GOP seats in Congress, after two Senate Democrats refused to break quorum. However, the map cannot take effect until the House votes on it, which quorum-breaking Democrats are fighting to block.

Trump's is nothing more than an administration of lies built on a foundation of bigotry and the cruelty it demands.
"We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted..."
Words really don't mean anything anymore, do they?
The incompetence is staggering, the political motives, clear as day.

Thanks the good news.

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

So much wealth and position and so little humanity. See a pattern?
This is a recurring theme of transphobes -- the insistence that the *only* possible reason anyone else would object to their degradation and marginalization is that they desperately crave the approval of "their tribe."
No, ma'am. It's much simpler.
Some of us just don't like bullies and bigots.

Those people wanting to deny voting assistance for disabled people ought to keep in mind that not all disabled people are born disabled. There is no age qualifier of disability. Even the ones suing could become disabled at any age.

#GVerse 🤔 How come the GOP can always find the money to bailout corporations and give tax cuts to the rich, but there's never enough money to:
Protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.
Provide free lunch for hungry kids.
Provide healthcare for the sick.
