This could literally be the entire reason the Republican Party exists. The average IQ is 100, which is not great, and half of America is BELOW that. Of course, on our side we have people who come up with all kinds of "reasons" NOT to vote. That may be why we struggle to compete with stoopid.

Sarah E. Bond@sarahebond.bsky.social · 10h agoMacKenzie Scott is a novelist and philanthropist. When writing about her new book, there is absolutely no need to use the apposition “ex-wife of Jeff Bezos.” Men are not defined by the women they married; women should not be defined by the men they once married.
The mid-century was bad for many things. But there were two things we must never forget, things that together were the foundation of a third thing we desperately need today: 1) strong unions and 2) high taxes on the rich 3) led to the biggest, most prosperous middle class the world may ever see.
Ossoff: "What worries me right now is complacency about this race in Georgia, overconfidence about this race in Georgia. There's no such thing as a landslide victory in the state of Georgia. This remains the crucial battleground state."

Per Bloomberg, since 2025 began, initial US jobs reports have been revised down in 16 of 20 months, erasing 793,000 jobs. That’s nearly 40,000 jobs a month that were reported, then quietly erased. They just vanished like the donations for the Kennedy Center. unusualwhales.com/news/us-jobs...,

The reality of 2026 is that for half the country there is absolutely no way to stop a lie. None. No matter what it will keep getting repeated. If saying the sun is blue would help, they would say it and it would be accepted and repeated, no questions asked. Like "police defending themselves."

No country will be emtirely safe until it replaces Starlink. Godspeed. Amazon Web Serivces (AWS), by the way, is also an incredibly powerful piece of internet infrastructure with great leverage to influence corporations, all entities really, even nations.

The wealthiest people in the world are trying again to buy elections in Ohio and across the country. Why? It’s an investment, meant to buy GOP majorities that will keep dismantling any guardrails that might protect the rest of us from their greed. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/19/e...

Please don’t rely on the polls. If they were accurate, we wouldn’t have heard a word about Trump in the last decade.
There is no bottom to what level the "judiciary" and "law enforcement" will stoop to protect each other in some places.
Sherrilyn Ifill@sifill.bsky.social · 5h agoShooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.
Absolutely. Like the Epstein files, lay it all out there, put everyone on record, in public, under oath. These are the investigations they desperately fear and will fight (how far?) to prevent.
Heather e^-1/x^2@heathermoandco.bsky.social · 2h ago…an ally. Trump is giving US tax dollars to Putin’s war machine. This gift won’t lower gas prices, or provide enough diesel to do much of anything. So it’s a payment for criminal acts. The Dems need to impeach. Let the world see the damning evidence & have GOP put names to supporting these crimes.
A republic is a form of government where the supreme power rests with the people, and that power is exercised through elected representatives rather than a monarch. Calling it Republican is Orwellian Doublespeak: using language to supplant a lie for its opposite in reality. Like Right to Work/Fire.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 10h agoNixon infected the modern Republican Party with a sickness that would ultimately kill it. Trump applied the coup de grace. The Republican Party is now officially dead. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-tragic-death-of-the-republican
Treason is the only crime explicitly defined in the U.S. Constitution, which intentionally sets an extremely high standard... "Treaon" and "Enemy" are apparently tricky. A majority in the House and Senate can impeach him but it takes a 2/3 Senate vote to remove him. Won't happen.
Heather e^-1/x^2@heathermoandco.bsky.social · 7h agoIf it’s not blatant by this point that Trump is on the side of war criminal transnational crime syndicate boss, Vladimir Putin, then I don’t know what it will take. If Dems don’t draw up articles of impeachment for Trump’s blatant treason, then 🇺🇸 is lost. It is gone. There is no accountability left.

Unfortunately, all of these are either impossible or very, very problematic, especially without a 2/3 majority in either chamber. In addition, there is Trump's veto. This is why attacks against Dems in Congress for not doing things is often understandable but unfair. WE never elect enough of them.
