As Harry says, “Impeaching Donald Trump is not an extreme act. It’s the BARE MINIMUM required to defend the Constitution, and it won’t happen if we leave it to the same people who spent a whole decade now pretending that this was all just normal politics.”

This is not the country we want to live in. This is not the administration we want in charge of policy.

How about you?

i think that we should charge even people who have been pardoned, because there is no conceivable way the founders intended the pardon power to permit the executive to order people to commit crimes and then pardon them for them

"This year’s general election left 53 municipal, county & legislative races across Georgia undecided. Voters must return to the polls Dec. 2 for runoffs. If we had #RankedChoiceVoting, we’d be done voting this year."

If we had ranked choice elections in Georgia, we’d be done voting this year
Georgia voters went to the polls Nov. 4, but many must cast ballots again Dec. 2 for dozens of runoff races. That's why the state should shift to ranked choice voting.

If Trump proactively pardons Hegseth, the solution is to signal either to the ICC or the country of origin of the murdered men that we will honor extradition requests on this point.

And then, in something of an irony, Noem him out of the country before anyone can react.
Historical precedent of note...

It’s almost like @repaprildelaney.bsky.social wants to lose her seat!
Trump is filling his government with Nazis, consolidating authoritarian power, and eroding democracy at every chance.

And yet these 86 House Democrats voted for a right-wing messaging amendment to say that the real authoritarians are the socialists.

Pathetic.

I don't know Bill Ferguson -- but he is not a lawyer. I do not know a single experienced redistricting or voting rights lawyer who agrees with him. If Ferguson doesn't want to redraw the map, he should just own it. Don't make up dumb legal arguments.

Hey Maryland!
In an interview with @lauren-egan.bsky.social, Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson explains his caution over redrawing the congressional maps in his state:

For what it’s worth, @repaprildelaney.bsky.social is so scared of this challenge from Trone that she’s running YouTube ads through her official office (although they are poorly targeted and appear in Pennsylvania zip codes).
It’s truly a choice between two devils in MD-06. Neither has true political convictions beyond whatever pads their bottom line.
SCOOP | David Trone appears to be polling a primary challenge to Rep. April McClain Delaney — from the left.

It could set up an expensive and personal primary for Maryland's 6th District.

I got the full poll, which is still in the field. Read more:

Good morning, Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and tried to replace her with a guy that has a giant painting of a Nazi battleship as his Zoom background, so now we rely on inflation numbers from DoorDash sponsored by Carl's Jr.
