Good thought but go farther. Money is the root of our dysfunction. No need for more qualifiers.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

So, constitutionally voted-on redistricting is slammed, canned, banned. Meanwhile in TX, TN, AL, FL, etc... VA, just pull a play from OH and say "whoops, can't change it back now, it's already too close to the election." True story. Just another way the GOP gets whatever they want.

VOTERS don't want GOP redistricting. Only the waste of space trash people who hold all the power want it. In VA, they are now "investigating" the Dems who led the DEMOCRATICALLY PASSED redistricting. They will stop that while pushing through everything they want in red states. It's so overt.

NEW: Tennessee voters came out to oppose the GOP’s new rigged maps 🔥

F yeah it's constitutional. Much more so than TX, where the Republican takeover is branded as the GOP making good for the party. VA, on the other hand, is said to be increasing partisan rancor. F off. Virginia court rules in favor of Democrats on redistricting share.google/HPd7YgYhe4v4...

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

VA: vote YES in the temporary redistricting measure. It won't stop Trump but it can delay him, and we need that. He is currently sitting watch over the Supreme Court to ensure they vote to end Birthright Citizenship. YELL LOUDER, AMERICA, OR WE WON'T BE AMERICA MUCH LONGER.

Trump (and his regime) is the manifestation of America's base impulses, inspiring deep hate, fear, and greed. I hope this is repudiated and he is impeached come Nov, but I truly can't read the country. Truth is we are all under attack, and some still can't see it. Does this take us down for good?

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Second Amendment folks, why are you not using your right to rise up against this hostile government? They are fomenting civil war and will kill anyone who even appears to be in their way.

Fucks sake, all, he should already be impeached, deposed, never a second term because of the IN 👏🏻 SUR 👏🏻 RECT 👏🏻 ION 👏🏻

Donald Trump just told a room full of Republicans—on January 6, of all days—that they must win the midterms or he’ll get impeached again. 🤡🤡🤡

I don't care if Venezuela is "ecstatic" as NPR claims, THIS IS ILLEGAL AND HE NEEDS TO BE DEPOSED. If we don't get rid of him and everyone around him, this is going to be the model. Taking what you want is fine. Good luck Taiwan, Ukraine, and Palestine. My heart hurts.

Happy New Year! 🎊 Let's start off with some truth. This is what we all knew, watched in real time, and for me, lived next to: Trump made Jan 6 possible. Here's to another year of watching this administration get away with the long con version of that riot. www.npr.org/2025/12/31/g...

@kaine.senate.gov - I am among the VA residents who are very disappointed with you for voting with the tyranny. This can only serve to strengthen the hold of Republicans. I guess you feel safe because you aren't up for reelection in '26? Hope it's worth it, whatever you get out of this.

This is exactly why term limitations should be created for all govt offices, including justices. Career politicians are not representative democracy.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

I'm so glad to be descended from my dad. Today at a No Kings rally in OH, deep clan country, he sported a sign reading "love thy neighbor no exceptions, however, f*"k ICE"
