The denaturalization project, no matter how it is cloaked in law, is inherently a politically targeted abuse of power until they go after the single most prominent case of naturalization fraud in the country: Elon Musk obtaining his citizenship by lying about his prior immigration status violations.

the bargain between Trump and Kennedy that basically sealed the election for Trump in exchange for handing American health policy to the most dangerous and irresponsible people on the planet will go down as one of the most costly deals in human history
There needs to be some serious accountability for the colossal harm to life these absolute demons have caused, and will cause. Life in prison is the moderate option.

The Epstein angle adds color to what we already knew: opposition to Francis was craven and opportunistic, and almost universally cashed out to support for Trump.

Watergate, but if someone was killed.
NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:
Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.
Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

if you dislike gerrymandering, the best thing to do is vote D across the board. Democrats have repeatedly put forward anti gerrymandering legislation at the national level, which Rs continually block.
Some thoughts:
1. Gerrymandering is terrible and a betrayal of fundamental democratic principles
2. Democrats, unfortunately, had to betray those principles to prevent the country from falling further into auth-right politics
3. The self-own by Trump is, yes, absolutely hilarious
