Great news: Judge Cote just denied the government's motion to dismiss our complaint on behalf of federal employees whose information was disclosed to DOGE. A win across the board

Any Senate or House seat that Republicans won in 2024 by 20% or less is now competitive in 2026. Any of these seats won narrowly by Democratic candidates in 2024 is now out of reach for Republicans.

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

Kingsley Wilson, the newly-appointed DoD Deputy Press Secretary, believes in a thoroughly-debunked antisemitic conspiracy theory. I've mostly only seen this theory promoted by mask-off neo-Nazis.

Must be exciting for our military officers to learn that they may be going to war against NATO (Canada, Denmark) while helping Russia take Ukraine. Exactly what they signed up for!

God, this is like watching a session of the Chinese Communist Party. The boasting. The fawning. The sycophancy. The tawdriness. The lies. The conceit. The arrogance. My flesh creeps. The GOP disgusts me. The Democrats are useless.

Aaaaaaand he just told the debunked Autism lie con artists have used for over a decade, and just said a school made a kid transgender (they didn't). With that I'm out. This is a worthless load of crap and waste of my time.
Well, it's what we thought. Trump is lying his ass off. Just told the completely debunked Social Security immortals lie.
