If you are 13 years old and raped by your uncle in Texas and become pregnant, you are forced to carry that child to term. When I went to vote on the first day of early voting last year, the representative who currently holds this seat was at the polling place handing out cards.

The idea that it’s misconduct for a federal judge, at a private meeting of judges, and in response to the Chief Justice’s question about any concerns the judges may have, to express his colleagues’ well-taken concerns about whether the rule of law can survive, is not just

1/ Important: "Epstein was actually still on the Mar-a-Lago membership logs up to 2007. ... That of course is a year after Jeffrey Epstein's arrest in Florida." So Trump didn't kick him out for many years after knowing Epstein 'stole' Virginia Giuffre from MAL in 2000. 🧵

How is it that the richest man on earth can share this kind of openly white supremacist and misogynistic trash and it be met with a shrug by the entire US elite?

i just want to note: the GOP's TX congressional redistricting map released today doesn't target *democratic members of congress* -- it is targeting *the people and communities who live in these districts* democracydocket.com/news-alerts/re…

It SHOULD be unattractive for people to run for office with the intent of expanding their portfolios. Congress should not be able to directly profit from decisions they make in office.

Sen. Ron Johnson is worth $55 million and made almost $300,000 in the stock market *last month* — more than the average American makes over several years

Also, shouldn’t the political media care that Musk, who is apparently going to dump billions into an alternative party, is openly promoting ideas like: -women are intended to be seized as property -nonwhite people are a menace to women -women should be the possession of white men

The gerrymander in Texas is outrageous. Of the 38 congressional districts, 8 of them are Democratic. That means 21% of their delegation are Democrats when Democrats regularly win 44-48% of the vote in this state.

i don't think people get how deeply weird these threats are. paxton says dems who leave TX to stop the redistricting map "should be found and arrested no matter where they go" & cornyn supports "all methods of returning" them. they need to clarify what they mean & how it's legal.

Ironically enough, our best chance to end gerrymandering nationwide is for blue states to gerrymander to such an extreme degree the GOP cries Uncle and begs for the federal ban Dems tried to pass in 2021.

🚨🚨🚨 TrueAnon has obtained a photograph of a shamed & gnomish Alan Dershowitz being escorted by a police officer out of the Martha’s Vineyard Farmer’s Market. He apparently made a huge scene after being denied a pierogi.

Bragging about killing a burgeoning industry that provides good paying jobs, offers a clean energy alternative to fossil fuels, and is going to be needed for human existence to survive on the planet to own the libs.

the TX senate redistricting chair is making an absolutely nonsensical argument: they don't need the DOJ to come explain their letter....because the senate can redistrict regardless of the letter.....even though the governor said he called for redistricting because of that letter

But the president and VP shouldn’t be exempted at all. This isn’t rocket science. Congress and the president should be banned from stock trading. You want to trade stocks, go to Wall Street, not to Congress or 1600 PA Ave.
