take your pick calling Republicans nazis, slavers, or the KKK

Since SCOTUS destroyed the Voting Rights Act, Southern states can now redraw a dozen majority-Black districts in time for the 2028 elections, triggering the largest drop in Black congressional representation since the end of Reconstruction. And that’s just the beginning.

can't stop the Milwaukee Brewers.

all i have to contribute about cheesecake factory discourse is one of their houston locations used to have an infinite money glitch where every receipt came with a $10 gift card for answering the survey no matter how small the bill so in high school i just kept treating my gf to free cheesecake

elected Texas Republicans hate Ken Paxton

glad we're almost done here

What Kamala Harris proposes in not impeaching Trump is this the same reason why letting Jefferson Davis and the rest of the Confederate soldiers and leaders off the hook was a bad idea.. We've been paying for it ever since😡

former Democratic candidate for Colorado governor much better than current Colorado Democratic governor on taxing the wealthy

wow. that was exactly the attitude Biden had to get us deeper into this authoritarian mess. totally disqualifying in my opinion

There was a time when no bills from federal grand juries were unheard of, now there’s a certain type of prosecution where it’s more likely than not. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

A few comments on Israel's exit polls. 1. The current government has been defeated, falling from 68 seats to 50. They lost about a quarter of their seats. They have no route to form a similar government. 2. The anti-Netanyahu opposition has 70 seats out of 120 - its highest ever result.

"that money I'm not giving you isn't even very much, you peasant"

Trump granting asylum when

not sure anyone on 2025 would have guessed we'd be here

the "likely voter" screens in 2026 are my first place to look if there's a polling error understating support for Democrats

that's the New York Times I've come to know

fascinating electoral strategy here

We are still in "could be mode shift and election day votes will be extremely red" territory but you couldn't ask for a better EV for Dems.

Florida early voting update: Early in-person turnout among Republicans has fallen off a cliff. At R+0.4, the total early vote in the state is about as blue as 2018, 5 points higher than this point in 2022, and 10 points higher than in 2024. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-early...

you know it might be helpful if the people running Florida weren't climate deniers

that'll show the hurricanes

Average Trump scandal: many people dead after uncontroversial government program illegally cut by doge for nonexistent savings Average mamdani scandal: he’s playing BASKETBALL with his FRIENDS

saying it again: you don't need to be an Apple beta tester

on second thought, I regret teaching Archie the word "food" because now when I say it he hops around like a bunny rabbit cc: @lsweeneymiran.bsky.social

If they lose power, expect Republicans in several states to strip powers from incoming Democrats, pass voting restrictions, and new gerrymanders. They did it after losing governors races in NC in 2016 and 2024, MI and WI in 2018, and KY in 2019. They preemptively did it ahead of losing IA this year

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

At least 18 early voting centers in rural Alaska have not opened as of Friday, state Sen. Bill Wielechowski says. The commonality? All the affected areas have at least a 60% Alaska Native population — with nearly a dozen having Alaska Native populations upwards of 90%: https://demdock.com/4yTW5Ze

Many Latino voters will have evaded ICE by voting early

This is just perfection Wow ..

DSA really hates winning elections. it's the worst thing

So far, remarkably high turnout by young Black voters in Georgia. Eye-popping chart.

I wanted to "respectfully" share with you the reaction of the architect of the 134 and 135 initiatives. They talk a big game about what they want you to "think" they want to accomplish, but the tone and the slurs are the real story.

it's almost like unlimited money in politics is problematic

there's a guy in Boulder running for city council on a "rip out the bike lanes" platform but thankfully he's going to get like 1% of the vote (13 candidate race)

can I post highlights from the Brewers game *ducks*
