“But this one goes to eleven!” Trumpster gaslighting is so big it’s visible from space. I’m a Dem living in a Blue state but in a Red neighborhood. 😐 Hobbies include flipping off Trump signs. Theme: https://youtu.be/bWXazVhlyxQ?si=6XsSaQ1ymKWr5tZA

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

If anyone needed another reminder of how deeply unpopular the Trump-MAGA Republican agenda is, tonight was the night.

But we cannot relent and we cannot become complacent.

The midterms are right around the corner.

speaks volumes that Trump's response to tonight's resounding defeat is to demand Republicans redouble efforts to rig elections

Pass Voter Reform, Voter ID, No Mail-In Ballots. Save our Supreme Court from “Packing,” No Two State addition, etc. TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER!!!

Just watched it.
Currently we’d be totally screwed.
This admin’s insanity, insecurity, inexperience, arrogance, ignorance, etc. would kill us all.
We would be completely fucked.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

I only started watching this series last week! I wasn’t familiar with her before, but yes, all those things! She is very talented!

Career prosecutors were put on leave, allegedly for stating the truth about J6. The Administration is working overtime to erase history. It’s incumbent upon all of us to document truth, preserve historical record, and stand firm against efforts to replace facts.

Firing an entire federal arts commission to clear the path for your own triumphal arch? It’s a textbook indicator of authoritarian executive overreach — the exact trend we warned about in our assessment.

Thanks. Honestly I thinking (hoping) that was the situation.

I know he voted last year, but that was the first time in many years!

He lost his voting rights about 20 years ago because of a felony (federal) conviction. NYS reinstated him last year finally! He paid for his crime a long time ago.
