Single-issue voter: democracy. Big fan of glaciated landscapes.

If you are in a blue state, start blowing your state elected’s phone and tell them they need to redistrict, too. This just became the most important issue of our moment.
Breaking: Texas House redistricting committee passes Trump’s egregiously gerrymandered US House map giving GOP 5 new seats & 80% of congressional delegation in state Trump won with 56% of vote. Increases # of seats Trump won by 10+ points from 25 to 30 & reduces # of competitive seats from 2 to zero

Exactly. The new U.S. National Security Strategy is much worse for Europe than most people had imagined. Europe is described as a bigger threat than both China and Russia, and they outline the need for regime change in Western European countries as part of a civilizational struggle.
I assumed the NSS would just ignore/deprioritize Europe (It did that on defense/NATO).

But the actual message was: Europe matters to us, we must save it from itself, the EU and its wokeness. Thus, the USG is going all in on foreign interference to help the far-right win a civilizational war.

The bottom line for any Democrat who is running for federal offices in 2026 and in 2028 - have a concrete plan to reform and rebalance this MAGA #SCOTUS.

If you want to be POTUS commit to acting on reforming/rebalnacing SCOTUS on Day 1.

If you don't - gtfoh - and don't ask for my money.

Make sure everyone you know hears about #ICELawlessness & knows the story of US CITIZEN & IRAQ WAR VETERAN, George Retes.

"ICE officers used tear gas, broke his car window, and applied physical force, including kneeling on him, while he complied with their instructions."

Hey guys, we need a few volunteers to go rescue our two buddies in the ocean, next to the overturned boat with the floating cocaine. Pretty sure the American drones are tired and have gone to bed, so you should be fine.

OK, who's in?

Guys? Where's everyone going?
i'm actually skeptical that the cartel is going to send another boat to retrieve/continue the run of a small vessel that is being surveilled by the US military and already attacked once.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The WSJ confirms that in the leadup to Pete Hegseth's serial war crimes in the Caribbean, he made clear to commanders that our military code *was not to be followed*—no questions were to be asked of any orders. It led to the resignation of the top commander in the Caribbean.

Hegseth stonewalled IG, refusing 1) to provide his phone for IG to probe other uses of Signal; 2) to sit for interview w/ IG. We only know about Yemeni Signal chat b/ Waltz added Goldberg to it by mistake. The scale and scope of Hegseth's security breaches still remain unknown even after IG report.
Officials reported the Secretary used additional Signal chats for DoD business. IG couldn’t verify content because he refused to provide phone access.

A great many impeachments resolutions that have been filed in the House over the years, but this might be the first one explicitly for murder.
NEW: Rep. Shri Thanedar going forward with articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

He has previously introduced several impeachment articles against Trump.

His office says he'll unveil them tomorrow at a rally at Union Station w/ an anti-Trump group

How to bankrupt people with cancer, who may not be able to earn $ to deduct against while they're sick, and whose treatments will cost wildly more than $25k.

WITH my insurance I pay more than $25k in premiums and out-of-pocket cost shares. Without it would be game over.
Hawley is pitching his colleagues — and Trump — on a new health care plan that would allow all tax payers to deduct up to $25K/person in medical expenses.

Hawley told us he recently discussed the idea with Trump: “I said...'no taxes on tips, no taxes on health care’, and he goes ‘oh I like that."

There’s a certain cutthroat elegance in finding and posting Hegseth saying exactly the same thing he’s attacking you for.
Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

This is bigger than one murder of two men. Tons of evidence has emerged casting doubt on whether any of these victims are even running drugs to the US at all. Trump just pardoned drug kingpin.

When members of Congress use the words "dangerous," "illegal," "authoritarian," and "unconstitutional" to describe what Trump does, they need to finish that thought with "he must be impeached and removed from office."

Impeachment is the beginning of accountability.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try.

There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.
