If you and others take this path, and Mike Rogers wins, you will be complicit in enabling more judges, like Alito, Thomas and Cannon, more cabinet members like Hegseth, Lutnick and RFK Junior, more whitewashing of corruption and violence. You will own it.
For me, the only dignified choice is to leave the Senate race blank—an undervote representing a rejection of ideological absolutism. This makes me no less a Democrat. I refuse to be complicit in excusing or accepting extremism to beat extremism. The madness has to stop somewhere.

If Democrats have a very good night in November, expect a rush of Republican laws in December to strip powers away from whichever office Dems have won. The playbook most aggressively used by NC's GOP recently, extended to Iowa, for starters, Texas.
It's gettin' real now: Sources tell @quorumreport that the Texas Senate GOP is quietly considering stripping all legislative power from the Lt. Gov. if the Democrat beats Little Gov Patrick: bit.ly/4Bfnnvb #TxLege

Imagine if in 1943 FDR had decided that the US would stop helping Britain and instead would side with the Third Reich. That's a bit like what President Trump is now doing by cozying up to Russia as it tries to destroy Ukraine. Utterly shameful. A humiliating moment for the US.

Had President Trump simply kept the JCPOA in place, it would have almost certainly been renewed and there'd be no war with Iran and no closure of the straits of hormuz and no spike in diesel and gas prices, and things would be fine for Republicans.

Simply put, Republicans are losing the 2026 election, despite a massively favorable map, because conservative iddeology got a major policy dead wrong-- Iran policy.
Barack Obama, whose intelligence and judgment the conservative movement constantly underestimates, was right.

Baby boomers are the wealthiest generation in history. We should absolutely help low-income seniors. We should *not* ask younger, poorer people to foot the bill for richer Americans. Why should working-class people subsidize millionaires?
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?”
Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

“Not all counties were effected”
Yeah this is the **9th** error that has “backlogged” voter registration records, in mostly left-leaning districts.
Unsurprisingly State officials (who openly support Paxton) have not done anything to help clear the backlog.
Texas county officials said they learned Thursday about another state error that has backlogged thousands of voter registration records.
The total number of backlogged records wasn’t immediately available, but the secretary of state’s office told election officials that not all counties were impacted. bit.ly/4hQS7v6

i've been working on a project that started as a way to map the "tax cut slop" and it rapidly revealed just how widespread this property tax revolt is
basically every candidate in every major race has some kind of property tax relief position (w/ varying degrees of stupidity)

There is absolutely no logical reason why someone who has a mortgage should pay property tax while someone who owns their house outright should not.
"I own my house, therefore I shouldn't pay property tax" is a total non sequitur.

Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned in a massive corruption scandal less than 96 hours ago and it's already been forgotten b/c Trump hired a completely unqualified person to be his Press Secretary who lied about her professional credentials and was fired after 5 days on the job.

my stance on the No Kings protests is that they’re still obviously ideologically hollow, but America’s protest culture is so deteriorated that just normalizing and familiarizing people with the idea of meeting up and protesting is valuable in its own right.

Step by step, day by day, Americans experience the big social media platforms becoming Orwellian political censors. The US needs a federal government that will tax them and break them up; the democratic world needs to learn the lesson and protect itself.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done.
Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Instagram suspended the No Kings Instagram account for today’s No Kings' day of action.
Larry Ellison’s TikTok has shut down the account promoting Alex Gibney’s Elon Musk documentary.
Elon Musk promoted the fake story about James Talarico on his X while donating over $150 million to help Ken Paxton.
Your reminder that Trump’s billionaire allies control what you see on TikTok, X, Twitch, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and YouTube — and they have a vested interest in making sure Dems don’t take the majority, so Trump isn’t investigated.

Meta has suddenly suspended the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of the No Kings' national day of action.
This shocking censorship comes just weeks before the midterm election.
