Elon buying votes, Gerrymander mid cycle, the Saves act, and now voting rights act, seems like Republicans are in a longer term plan to control election

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

A Supreme Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places the Court at odds with democracy itself. This is the legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts. I opposed his nomination back in 2005, and I stand by that.

Donald Trump doesn’t care about rigging the system to win. He doesn’t care about lighting democracy on fire, bending the rules, and playing dirty to get what he wants. This is an attack on our American rights, and California won’t stand for it.

This sham deployment of the California National Guard is a massive waste of time and taxpayer money — costing the Pentagon millions while pulling troops from real missions like wildfire response. Donald Trump, end the militarization once and for all. Do the right thing.

Trump wanted to attack Iran, then gave two weeks time and then went ahead and attacked anyways. If he doesn’t trust his own words why should people ?

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
