Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose.

I never bluff and I usually win.

If you read only one democracy story today, make it this one. While legacy media largely skipped the Texas redistricting hearing, Democracy Docket's Jen Rice was there for all 10 days. Her coverage stands out and sheds insight into how the GOP operates -- not only in TX -- but nationally.

In a Federal Courtroom in Texas, Republicans Were Desperate to Keep Details of their Gerrymander Under Wraps

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

Hobbs: He ran on lowering costs.

He’s doing exactly the opposite.

Whether it’s these insurance premiums that are going up, or the tariffs…

It is exactly the opposite of what he ran on. And the Republicans in this primary against me are the biggest cheerleaders for these failed policies

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

You have the speaker talking about getting rid of federal courts.

Another gov saying they should eliminate courts completely.

Your corrupt supreme court gave him the power to get rid of them. He needs to, so he can't be charged personally when he leaves office.

Your elections 1st, then the courts

Mike Johnson said this could be the longest government shutdown and that he “won’t negotiate” with Democrats. Of course he won't; if the shutdown ends, he has to swear in Adelita Grijalva who would provide the last vote needed to release the Epstein files.
