Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

Our neighbors in Indiana have stood up to Trump's threats and political pressure, instead choosing to do what's right for their constituents and our democracy.

It is absolutely astonishing that our elected leaders in Congress are allowing him to dismantle 75 - 150+ years of diplomatic relations just because he wants to hang out with Putin and MBS. Disgusting.
Trump’s new National Security Strategy sent political shock waves through Europe as European leaders grasped how Trump’s radical reconception of U.S. foreign policy is now being applied to Europe — namely, by reshaping Europe’s political landscape through open support for far right European parties.
Trump’s National Security Strategy Is Pax Americana With a MAGA Twist
“The stunning section devoted to Europe reads like a far-right pamphlet,” said a former French ambassador to the US.

Replace Schumer now. Seriously. He’s going to cost you millions of votes because we’re NOT supporting a party who thinks he’s “a leader”.
While millions have rallied and continually demanded strong opposition to fascistic policies, congressional Democrats have lagged far behind. Nowhere has the gap been more evident than in the Senate, where Chuck Schumer remains the minority leader despite his obvious failures to meet the moment.
Democratic Leaders’ Cowardice Helped Pave Way for Trump. Can the Party Change?
Saving the US from autocracy means recognizing and overcoming the chokehold that Democratic leaders have on the party.

What’s happening at the Supreme Court this week is bigger than just one FTC commissioner. The majority seems ready to endorse the “unitary executive” theory, giving Trump the power to purge agency staffers and replace them with loyalists. It’s a frightening prospect we should be paying attention to.

Mueller's speech is a blueprint laying out how the Trump team, backed by an organized crime syndicate, and abetted by transnational alliances that would have been unthinkable a decade before, rose to power by blurring the lines between white-collar crime, mafia activity, and state corruption. It describes with uncanny accuracy the economic devastation ordinary Americans experienced from 2008 onward, and attributes it to unfettered criminal corruption that Mueller promised the FBI would combat-but it did not. Under the leadership of James Comey, who replaced Mueller as FBI head in 2013, the FBl removed Mogilevich-the dangerous Russian mafia head who had been ancillary to Trump since the 1980s-from the Ten Most Wanted list in December 2015 and replaced him with a bank robber Comey never explained why Mogilevich's removal was warranted when Moglevich was still participating in the same extreme criminal activity that had compelled Mueller to name him a threat so profound "he will remain [on the Ten Most Wanted list] until he is captured" just four years before. The removal of Mogilevich was highly unorthodox: he was only the seventh top-ten fugitive since 1950 to be removed from the list prior to apprehension, death, or dismissal of charges. The FBI's official explanation was that Mogilevich "no longer poses an immediate threat to the public" and that he is residing in a country without an extradition treaty. Yet when the FBI originally placed Mogilevich on the list in October 2009, they noted that "what makes him so dangerous is that he operates without borders.” The FBI did not name Mogilevich's current location, but his unnerving power is that, in many ways, it no longer matters.
Writing Trump's history is a bizarre exercise in parsing layers of propaganda. There is the propaganda written in real time by rump's press lackeys (sometimes with anonymous quotes that…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lrtjs36bjp2htwfiongustem/bafkreiamotdhdigsqzcgcca2o5nitggeh6pyyywyxqm2ozve7xkh3yidne@jpeg)
