WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!
When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.
There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

"Epstein class" is terrific not simply because several of them are directly tied to Epstein's crimes, but because it strikes at the corruption, immorality and impunity of that entire circle.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Been thinking a lot about these Washington Post layoffs, and the parallels to what happened to the media in Kenya in the 2000s. For context, Kenya had one state owned broadcaster until 1992 but we have always had at least two newspapers (often more). We had one radio broadcaster in two languages.

Maxwell was the center of the Epstein's crimes. She wasn't just a "co-conspirator," she was an equal partner. She found girls, she groomed them, SHE RAPED them. This Administration is giving her a sweetheart deal, they're treating protesters in MN worse. Any GOP that accepts that, isn't serious.

If Dem senators vote to extend the DHS CR again, they are instantly going to lose a tremendous amount of support from their base who have been in wait-and-see mode on this. I can only assume Dem senators considering this have completely lost touch with their voters. Don’t do it.

Please call your Senators at 202-224-3121 & tell them to vote NO on the GOP’s so-called “SAVE Act.”
MAGAs are promoting their “SAVE Act” as if their lives depend on passing it. Their promotion of SAVE is *everywhere* on X, but hardly anyone is warning what it really does or calling on voters to tell their Senators to vote NO. They claim to have 50 votes. They need 60 w/ the filibuster. 51 without.
