Concepts like “trans people are people, trans people have rights.” That can deprive a school of funding. I want these Dems who support this policy to explain why they believe this is consistent with being a Democrat.

R’s attack D’s on trans because it’s a fearmongering tactic - fear of the other, & it works regardless of how it’s “messaged” by Dems. Voters aren’t hearing those messages ‘cause the RW propaganda machine dominates. We can’t “‘message” out of it because it’s a bandwidth problem not a content problem
Major news! A state court in Kansas has just blocked the states gender affirming care ban! Nobody is at our desk right now so we can’t draft up a story but you all deserve to know this incredible news. assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

The left was already choked by X’s algo before people started to leave, I don’t think it makes a material difference that people decided to go elsewhere.
this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.
Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely.

Thank you to the voters of Virginia for choosing to hold trump and Republicans accountable. trump and Republicans chose to start mid-decade redistricting. Democrats chose to win it. November is coming.

The Associated Press is reporting that the Virginia Redistricting Referendum has passed! Virginians land yet another blow to Donald Trump’s attempts to maintain power over Congress. One winner: Virginia State Senator & dedicated poster L. Louise Lucas, who spearheaded the “10-1!” push
10 children were shot today in Shreveport, LA and 8 of them died. The police chief just doesn’t know how something like this could ever happen. But I think he knows exactly how something like this could happen and it has to do with the > 393 million guns in this country w/ very little regulation.

“Mueller's investigation dogged much of Trump's first term. He ultimately concluded there was no evidence of a criminal conspiracy between Trump's campaign and Russia.” That’s most assuredly not what the Mueller investigation concluded.

Shady Vance in North Carolina: He seems to be clueless or deliberately devious re the Big Ugly Bill. He says: "The One Big Beautiful Bill is chock full of good things for this district and state.” In actuality, it will cause 450K North Carolinians to lose healthcare coverage.
While Republican politicians around the country are helping TPUSA set up student groups in public schools, the guy who hosted TPUSA’s alternative halftime show and who frequently appeared with Charlie Kirk on his podcast is repping McCarthyism 2.0.
Thinking ahead and anticipating the consequences of your actions is woke and DEI.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
Me a year ago: "Musk may be a happy hatchet man thinking he is reshaping the government. But for Trump he is a useful tool to help allow Trump to restaff it." WaPo today: "A year after Elon Musk and his DOGE allies purged 100k's of federal employees, the Trump administration is ramping up hiring."
Fetterman just voted with every Senate Republican (except Rand Paul) to block legislation aimed at halting Trump's disastrous war of choice with Iran. @fetterman.senate.gov and his GOP colleagues now share ownership of Trump’s stupid, unpopular, unjustified and already tragic war — and the fallout.
Senate GOP gives Trump free hand in Iran as war powers vote fails
Republicans rejected a resolution to curb Trump’s ability to unilaterally take military action, even as questions linger about the scope and goals of the escalating conflict.
