It just occurred to me that JD Vance may have temporarily been president of these United States while trump was undergoing whatever treatment that caused his face to look like that.

A hollow, metallic voice issues from the vox, "People are saying even in death I serve. I don't know if it's true, but big, powerful guardsmen come up to me, tears in their eyes, and say 'Sir, you are serving in death like no one has served before.' Isn't it wonderful?"

We really have to take a page from the enemy playbook and normalize big ideas by talking about them non-stop until they no longer seem like big, ambitious, impossible things but instead normal, mundane and inevitable.

Can't really emphasize enough how critical it is that we redistrict California and other Democratic-controlled states regardless of the republicans' success or failure in Texas. Only aggressive, energetic, proactive efforts will give us a chance to beat back the even worse horrors to come.
Bats and Wires (@batsandwires.bsky.social) reply parent
So here's the thing...if they prevent redistrcting in Texas, that's awesome - we should still redistrict California anyway.

It just keeps coming… CBS uncovered a mystery third person caught on jailhouse cameras the night Epstein died. Not named. Not mentioned in the DOJ report. Spotted near his cell just after 4 a.m., two hours before he was found dead. Why now? Somebody wants this out.

Next step is James Carville and Rahm Emanuel crawling out of the woodwork to tell podcasters that democrats have abandoned middle America by focusing solely on Sydney Sweeny's jeans instead of sensible kitchen table issues.

Democrats should respond by gerrymandering their states. If Supreme Court is fine with Republicans doing it in Texas, then do the same and pick up more seats. Take on fascists.

Thankful for @vanhollen.senate.gov & other Maryland Democrats who tried to inspect an ICE facility in Baltimore yesterday. The lawmakers waited for hours to be let in, and denied entry. They had a sit-in in a building hallway. Investigate ICE. THIS IS ILLEGAL. youtube.com/shorts/2PFSs...
