The single most important message in American politics is that Trump and MAGA are strategically dividing us for the benefit of a few insatiable billionaires who live like gods on earth on the blood, sweat and toil of the rest of us.

Texas has been under GOP control for 25 years. Every single statewide office held by Republicans. Texas ranks last in quality of life, worst in health insurance. Power goes out often; people die of heat or cold. The infant death rate is rising; women die giving birth. These are features, not bugs.

Anger grows as some senior facilities left without power for days: ‘It’s horrible what the state of Texas is doing’ | CNNwww.cnn.com As Tina Kitzmiller sat inside her sweltering apartment, windows and doors open in the hope of catching even the slightest breeze, she was frustrated and worried for her dog and her neighbors.

One thing Usha Vance loves is that her husband is fully aligned with the candidate whose campaign manager pushed propaganda saying that her parents eat human shit and should be rounded up in camps. She believes her 3 kids are an abomination & she should be punished for committing white genocide.

so the dude with full AK-47, ski mask, ammo, etc., gets arrested after approaching the RNC, but an unhoused Black man well away from even the vehicle perimeter for the RNC, all the way across a major highway, gets shot to death by five cops. got it.

It shouldn’t have taken this long or been so difficult to get the New York Post to publish a correction for an error as heinous as this.

We've had nearly a decade now of Trumpism being at the forefront of American politics. Four years of utter chaos and damage to American institutions, of borrowing like a lunatic on America's credit. US debt doubled. He messed up covid. And four years of trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

The Constitutional Crisis is already here. You are living inside it. No way back, for better or worse. Either fight to win the future or concede to fascist tyranny taking over our country, the world's largest economy and mightiest military.

It’s all 100% masks off at this point, lads.

Judge Cannon went and did it. She has dismissed the stolen documents case against Trump on Clarence Thomas’s (nonsense) appointments clause rationale.

Yep. There's a lot of wiggle room in law, a lot of places where a judge's general attitudes about law, politics, governance, etc, will sway them to reach one of many potential outcomes. That is not what is happening now. What is happening are hacks and lunatics deliberately misapplying the law.

I'm a big fan of the attitudinal model of law, but I also think it's possible for judges not to be total partisan hacks. The thing is, literally no institution could survive if its leaders were taking bribes and its major positions were purposely filled with irresponsible lunatics for decades.

Judge Cannon ruled that she was not bound by a Supreme Court case that expressly said the attorney general was authorized to appoint a special prosecutor.

He's white and rightwing so here come the sympathetic stories about him being bullied in school

The gunman who allegedly tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump was bullied in high school and didn’t fit in with other students, former classmates told CNN. Here's what we know so far.

This is NYT’s portrait of a Trump rally, where the explicit agenda was putting millions of people in concentration camps before deporting them.

The GOP and its fans are really not people who can play this political moment in a classy, sympathetic way.

Pelosi's Twitter account put out a generous expression of sympathy for Trump this evening, and the top comments are all people mocking the attack on her husband

Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.

The opting out is especially wild Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually' (Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

i mean even if you buy every single scaremongering story about biden’s mental capacities, he’s hired people who are working to do shit like green infrastructure and antitrust enforcement and forgiving student debt his opponent’s staff’s priorities will be very different

It also makes me feel insane that the rat fuck around Biden’s age and mental capacity is being uncritically spread around by Democrats when Trump is *incredibly obviously* grotesquely mentally incapacitated, in a way that is genuinely terrifying.

If you are disappointed with how Senator Dick Durbin has handled Justice Thomas' corruption, Justice Alito's open insurrection, and how each of the other four conservative justices lied in their Senate Hearings, you can fax him for free to let him know how upset you are with him. Big, screechy fax.

It's important to note that Trump tried to order this at least twice we know of during his regime.
