The Vermont state senator in the Hitler chat group is playing the, "I am but an innocent smol bean" card.

Samuel Douglass hasn't decided yet if he'll resign: www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2...

“My role in the group chat in question was a procedural one about bylaws and floor strategy. There were often periods of multiple days when I didn't check this group chat and I was unfortunately unaware of those comments,” Douglass said in a written statement sent to Vermont Public Wednesday afternoon. “I should've been more vigilant, more careful, and less naive about who I associate with and my digital environments.”

I love how @flaviovolpe.bsky.social turns the conversation back at CTV news in his first comment! 👍
China "scales, dumps and destroys" using over $1 trillion in subsidies.
Brian Kingston talks about how dirty Chinese EVs are, something I have said before.
This is a must watch IMO.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Just a deep, dark cesspool of corruption like we’ve never seen before in US history at every single agency and level of government. Republicans in Congress continue to ignore all of it and if people still care about having a Republic they will vote them out as soon as they can.

1/ "Confronted with GOP texts that were racist & violent—complete with references to gas chambers—Vance’s first instinct wasn't to condemn those responsible for those messages; his first instinct was to downplay the scandal & go after a Dem."

JD Vance tries to downplay leak of disgusting Young Republican chats

For the vice president to suggest it’s “pearl clutching” to condemn those who were part of a racist group chat says a great deal about his judgment.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?
