Expanding the court is the moderate centrist position
For the 1st time in US history SCOTUS has more rulings on its shadow docket -- unsigned and with no opinions -- than it has cases where it has heard oral arguments and issued signed rulings. IOW they are hiding their deliberations while stealing our democracy. www.propublica.org/article/supr...

Every single accusation is a confession with these fucking shitweasels.
Republican Shellie Flockhart, who called Iowa Democratic House candidate Sarah Trone Garriott "dangerous" for kids, actually pleaded guilty to endangering kids herself after authorities said she drove drunk with her children in the car in 2017.

it is my deepest and most fervent wish that the tech oligarchs suffer consequences for openly allying with fascism the world over maybe we can extradite zuck in 2029
In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.
tl;dr Hegseth is an abusive, bigoted, drunken, treasonous, murdering piece of shit unworthy of drawing breath. His mother concurs.
From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

yup.
This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

Check out how easy this is.
Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”
Despite the fact that in the era of MAGA, I think I've come to be skeptical of the possibility of hopefulness and accuracy being aligned, this feels both hopeful and accurate.
In addition to the economy and the war and Epstein it really feels like the gerrymandering push really fucked the GOP. It was a Pearl Harbor attack on voting rights and now the targets are punching back.

Being a bigot is stupid
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Turek's positions are not "less than perfect." They are a direct threat to the lives of my trans friends and family. He IS the danger we must fight.
I'm just gonna chime in and say it's notable that his opponent is a rape apologist, and a pedophile supporter. Turek is trash, but certainly make clear that as we fight fascists, some choices may not be perfect. Turek is a piece of shit, ashley hinson is far worse. Scrub nation, then party. ✌🏼
End billionaires. Bust oligopolies. Boycott META, Alphabet, and Amazon.
Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk: “A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

Donald Trump consistently taking the side of pedophiles is almost never talked about as such.
Trump: "What's happened is the press has ganged up on a woman making a horrible statement about her daughter, and I don't why she should be shielded. She said she was a dirty liar ... I say she's fair game."

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?
