I hope many have read and/seen this very seminal work.
I read this during Bush and it really changed my way of thinking and communicating about the GOP.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Pamela Jo has until December 20th to release the Epstein files. She must include explanations for everything she redacts or withholds.

I've seen the Rams win the Superbowl twice on last second plays and to this day hearing the announcer yell IT'S LEON LETT NOOO turns me into Pavlovs Football Fan more than any other moment in football history. Just lodged itself in there.
🏈 November 25, 1993: On Thanksgivin at a snowy Dallas, Texas. a 41-yard game-winning field goal attempt by Miami Dolphins’ Pete Stoyanovich was blocked. But Dallas Cowboys defender Leon Lett ran and touched the football, resulting in Miami’s re-possession and a game-winning 19-yard field goal.

Why is Trump so enraged? The Democrats clearly stated that you could disobey "illegal" orders, which is the law.
This tweet is proof that Trump knows his orders are completely & indisputably illegal.
Giving illegal orders & demanding others obey them is the real sedition!

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

If Dems are in “the files,” then they should be prosecuted too. I don’t give a damn how important they are, how much money they have, or what their politics are. If they are in there, PROSECUTE THEM!!
It's not complicated. All we want is equal justice. NO ONE is above the law. ⚖️

This is big: elected Republicans in a deep-red state saying NO to Trump even after his personal plea.
The balance is shifting - and we have to keep up the pressure everywhere.

Indiana likely will not push forward with redistricting despite pressure from White House
It’s a massive blow to the White House’s efforts to shore up a Republican House majority next year.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.
100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.
That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Ahem. It's the job of the President to appoint DAs - with advice and consent from the Senate.
The President can ignore that rule - but only once (per district) and only for 120 days.
Do you know who appoints DAs after the 120 day mark has passed?
Pam Bondi doesn't. Because it's the judiciary.
