It sounds conspiratorial to suggest that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump behind closed doors to launch an assault on mail-in voting in elections administered by the states, and Trump immediately set about mobilizing federal power to do it… but that is literally Trump’s account of what happened.

This is step one in how we lose free and fair elections. It’s not that Trump will “cancel” the midterms.
It’s just everyone has to vote in person, and urban downtowns will be filled with ICE checkpoints and intimidating National Guard troops to “double check” that only citizens vote.

So are we going to just have congressional maps mirror the electoral college and the color the state is?
I think this might be a good example of why independent third party commissions to draw district lines is a good thing.

Luckily most of their funding is NOT from the federal government, so please donate if you can.

This bill is monstrous, inhumane and evil. People WILL die because of this. Remember who cheered this on - Republicans. #BigBeautifulBill
Cuts to healthcare and food assistance programs in exchange for tax cuts skewed to the rich, a record breaking amount of military spending, and a giant funding boost for ICE's deportation machine. This budget bill is utterly shameful.

We’ve gone from “they’re eating the cats and dogs” to actually taxing penguins. That’s official government economic policy.

Donald Trump is literally running a Tesla ad in front of the White House to help Elon’s failing stock.

If Republicans can call it the Gulf of America, they can fucking call her by her correct pronouns.
Republican congressman Keith Self introduced transgender Representative Sarah McBride as "Mr. McBride."
Sarah snapped back and called him madam chair.
Dem Congressman Bill Keating went off on Rep. Self and adjourned the meeting over his lack of decorum and purposeful targeting of Sarah McBride.

For my WI peeps: there is a very important election on April 1st. Arguably the biggest race is for State Supreme Court.
This result will if the court is liberal or conservative for the next few years.
The only debate is on tomorrow night. Please do your research and make an informed choice.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
