Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

Liberals hit back at Vance's blunt dismissal of racist, antisemitic and misogynistic messages leaked from a Young Republicans group chat.

🚨 This is happening everywhere you go depending on where you live and your social media presence. Just assume nothing you say, text, look up, or read on your phone is private. Don’t take your phone to a protest without a faraday bag. Use a dumb device to record video. 1/2

Nelson: "Every Congressional member who is Black (in louisiana) was elected from a VRA opportunity district."

Kagan asked her about the results if the Court takes away Section 2. I'm sure that fact excites and titilliaites the white wing of the Court. :(

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

John Bolton should not be indicted because it’s a political retribution prosecution

John Bolton is an arrogant scumbag who said he would not vote for a Democrat ever no matter the circumstance so he can reap what he can sow

Both things can be true

Major Epstein Files Update

Grijalva's election has officially been certified. Mayes is threatening to sue. Johnson refuses to take any action to swear her in.
