...so make a plan to vote!

House expansion by a plausible number would do very little to mitigate gerrymandering by itself. State legislatures with multiple times as many districts are still very gerrymandered. Expansion may have other benefits, but it needs pairing with redistricting reform or proportional representation

I know there’s a lot going, but 19 Republican AGs have said—in writing!—that pro-choice speech should be criminalized. Thats a Big Fucking Deal and it blows my mind that more people aren’t talking about it

This is Trump admin fearmongering and an obvious attempt to preemptively sow doubt about election outcomes that favor Democrats. ELECTIONS ARE RUN BY THE STATES, NOT THE FEC. Don't fall for this.

Good fucking thing ELECTIONS ARE RUN BY THE STATES

There's a certain joy in "deadnaming" all the terms the anti-trans fascists try to change as a form of control right out of 1984.

In newspapers around the world, the report that Donald Trump raped Béatrice Keul in an Atlantic City hotel room commands huge headlines. In US corporate media, it isn't reported. Ask yourself why that might be. Here's the front page of today's Süddeutsche Zeitung in Munich.

"Let's build my giant arch here, where it will cast a shadow over the final resting places of our revered military veterans 284 out of 365 days a year"

NEW: Mail ballot rejection rates in North Carolina now sit at nearly 6% following Republicans' decision to implement a new envelope sealing rule before the midterms. One advocate noted that the steadily-growing rate "could make the difference in many key races.” https://demdock.com/4srJjPG

Republican congressional candidate Brent Taylor has sent unsolicited nude photos as recently as 2021. He dismisses his past sexual advances as “youthful indiscretions." At that time, Taylor was 53

Why does Donald Trump hate our troops

Concern level red, 4 out of 5 pearls clutched

So you stand for nothing AND you're stupid. Got it.

"Now ah don't usually vote for Democrats, but that Talarico fella seems pretty okay. And that Paxton guy? Just a doggone crook."

Hm

I'm so old that I remember that this level of overt racism was frowned upon (also obviously a total lie)

The pick-me energy here is so next level

Holy cats this is totally real

Not that long ago, three major lower-court rulings against the executive branch on three unrelated topics would’ve been a busy *month,* and outlets would’ve rushed to write up such a run of adverse rulings. Now, it doesn’t feel unusual when we get three on the same *day.* It’s all … exhausting.

10 years ago today, Trump’s DC hotel opened. It taught him people will pay a sitting president, and there will be no repercussions. Want to understand the second term’s corruption? Start with the hotel:

Trump has no legal authority to do this, of course, but that's not the point. Whipping up a bunch of voter suppression vigilantes -- the obvious result -- is the point, however.

The Yassification of PA politics continues apace

Yes, making the richest people in the world even richer at the cost of human knowledge, skill, and labor is the dream of all working class people everywhere. We were put on this earth to give our bodies, minds, and soul to the technologists to devour and sell it back to us. That’s liberation.

I would love to live in a world where "President faces new rape allegation" isn't treated like a dog bites man story in the major media.

Stephen Graham Jones is one of our absolute best. He's also prolific as hell. Whatever kind of horror you like, he's probably written it.

SNL UK continues to be a marvel

the thing about this is that the L.A.Times is basically pre-emptively anouncing their intention to publish fallacious and defamatory material

You need to understand how important this is. If Amy Acton wins, she could reject (veto) bad bills, but Republicans could override her veto & force bills to become law anyway ......unless Ds also pick up 6+ seats in the #Ohio House Vote all the way DOWN BALLOT 🇺🇸🇺🇸 www.statenews.org/government-p...

Well, isn't this interesting...is "Musk" playing anywhere near you? "Released October 9th to 4 theaters, it expanded to 472 last Friday. And now, one week later it’s gone from almost every theater in America." 🏴‍☠️ Time to sail the seas, & send an e-cuppa joe to Alex Gibney. 🧾 t2m.co/vjuiH0s

You know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Get his creepy, racist ass
