yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social

Virginia Gov @abigailspanberger.com and Democratic legislature should pass immediate legislation to redistrict anyway. If the old confederate states can do it post Callais - so can Dems in Virginia if they care about saving our democracy.

Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars. I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.

I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

It’s profoundly unsettling that many of the world’s most powerful figures named in the Epstein Files, including the US president and the wealthiest person alive, continue to hold positions of influence. What a terrible world we live in

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Murphy: "It's clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history. He wouldn't be acting this way if he wasn't so deeply worried about what's in those files. What we've already seen is immensely incriminating. Clearly Trump was at the center of a child sex ring ... the scandal could bring him down."

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.

• Grocery prices up • Russia’s war still raging • Credit card interest rates not capped at 10% • Prescription drug prices remain high • IVF not free • Taxes still on Social Security • Tips not 100% tax free • Overtime not 100% tax free • Epstein files not released

A new analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office finds that the final version of Trump's tax law will add $3.4 trillion to the U.S. national debt over the next decade and will "increase by 10 million the number of people without health insurance" by 2034.

Trump pushed conspiracy theories about Epstein's heinous crimes. Now he's being extremely defensive regarding the Epstein files. It raises legitimate questions. Why not just release the files? What is he hiding?

T Pierce reposted

There is only one way to read Trump’s post today about Epstein - basically a confession. He’s guilty, he knows he’s guilty, his cult isn’t culting on this, and he’s a cornered rat with no way out other than to plead with people not to care about child sex trafficking.

This is still part of the Constitution, FYI: "[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust... shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."
