The Virginia primary is on June 20 and in a safe blue House seat Destiny Bolling is running against a Trump supporter in the Democratic primary. Supporting her could help protect abortion rights throughout the South.

Whenever you read about Germany turning off its reactors or an IRB blocking useful research or a QEQA lawyer suing to stop new housing, remind yourself: This is what Ted wanted. He won. We turned our back on modernity and now we're all worse off for it.
No Fs in chat from me!
In the 1990s when he was arrested, we got tons of phone calls at our house from reporters looking for relatives to talk to who must have just been calling up every Kaczynski in the Midwest phonebook.
How does it go for these kids when they show up at like a merely top 30 college and classmates find out they asked the supreme court to intervene so they wouldn't have to be associated with fucking idiots like them.
Lake: “If you want to get to Trump, you’re going to have to go through me, and 75 million Americans just like me. And most of us are card carrying members of the NRA. That’s not a threat, that’s a public service announcement.”
It’s next to impossible to make that and “the deep state is weaponizing government against Biden’s opponent!” argument they’ve committed themselves to, one of those is going to have to give or be substantially modified
The bumbling incompetence, amateurish scheming, and dishonesty set out in the indictment are something to behold—Trump’s Republican opponents should, when the time is right, make the argument that this is what a second term would look like
Mishandling classified documents is a federal crime because it can expose national secrets, as well as the sources and methods they were obtained through. The unlawful retention and obstruction of justice related to classified documents are also criminal matters.
I’m not at all a HRC superfan, but the way that possibly not fully following state department document standards wrt some emails is conflated with showing people nuclear secrets as a flex… I totally get why some people are super bitter about how she was treated.
My thoughts are, for now:
- Trump highlighted illegal and corrupt behaviour from Clinton in 2016.
- He realises that nothing happens to those who do it, so does it himself.
- He now faces repercussions that his opponents never had to face.
- It’s done for political purposes.
This is all just so much cosplay by congressmen who fancy themselves cowboys. Biggs is a grandfather of 8 who never spent a day in the military/law enforcement and who is only in Congress because he once won the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes
Haley running into same problem as R's opposed to Trump who tried to humor election denial. You can't can't affirm the premise an illegitimate DOJ is staging a self-coup AND call it "drama and distraction" voting for you will end. If you really believed it, it would be THE issue.
This is not how justice should be pursued in our country.
The American people are exhausted by the prosecutorial overreach, double standards, and vendetta politics.
It’s time to move beyond the endless drama and distractions.
These charges are unprecedented and it’s a sad day for our country, especially in light of what clearly appears to be a two-tiered justice system where some are selectively prosecuted, and others are not. Parents in Virginia know firsthand what it’s like to be targeted by…Show more
Take this seriously. “Perimeter probe”: Higgins thinks indictment precedes bigger attack. “rPOTUS”: “real POTUS,” Trump. “Hold”: “stand back & stand by.” “Buckle up”: prepare for war. “1/50 k”: military scale maps. “Know your bridges”: militia speak for prepare to seize bridges.
Since the start of the pandemic, the US economy has grown by 5.4%
The EU's economy, excluding Ireland's volatile tax-haven-driven GDP data, has grown by 2.4%

EXCLUSIVE: “As president, I could have declassified, but now I can’t.” CNN has the transcript of bombshell recording of Trump claiming to have secret information. https://cnn.com/2023/06/09/politics/trump-tape-didnt-declassify-secret-information/index.html…

Pat Robertson built the "pro-Israel / anti-Jewish" dynamic that we're just now starting to see in the real world. It's appropriate that AIPAC honor someone who so strongly shaped the organization's past, present, and future
AIPAC mourns the passing of Pat Robertson, who was a great friend of Israel and a pioneer in the modern Christian Zionist movement. twitter.com/ap/status/1666…
My bill HB2531 which was bipartisan limited train lengths to prevent train derailments but, republicans refused to give it the light of day. And, here we are…. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

He created a new law enforcement office specifically to prosecute people for voting, and then targeted people with criminal charges who’d been told by state agencies they were eligible to vote.
They couldn't even get an indictment! Trump couldn't get one either once he installed a DOJ where half of his appointees tried to make him president for life.
Everyone who was sentient from 2013-2016 knows the GOP tried every waking moment to nail Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified documents and they couldn't get a conviction but they still damaged her reputation enough to make Trump president
Everyone who was sentient from 2017-2021 knows if the Trump DOJ had indicted Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or Joe Biden for *any reason at all* -- doesn't matter the details -- it would have been wall-to-wall blaring that the country had disintegrated into apocalyptic Fascism
California Senate candidate Adam Schiff criticized Trump for mocking Christine Blasey Ford. He just hired on Lis Smith — who mocked Ford as "looney tunes and the height of me too overreach," and advised Andrew Cuomo during his harassment scandal — as a senior adviser for comms
