Paul Krugman: “We really need to do a thorough purging of the United States."

“We need a deMAGAfication…similar to de-Nazification."

'So why the sudden panic when it becomes a uniform, enforceable standard? Because once you can actually reconcile how many ballots went out against how many came back, you remove the ability to pretend the system is airtight when it isn’t. The people most furious about adding a basic paper trail are the ones who benefited most from not having one.'

[Flopping Aces @FloppingAces]

The people losing their minds over this postal rule are doing more to make the case for it than the rule itself ever could.

You’ve got Chuck Schumer calling basic envelope tracking “voter suppression, plain and simple.” You’ve got Senator Padilla claiming tens of millions of legal voters will suddenly be blocked. And you’ve got Marc Elias ... the guy who’s spent his entire career in court trying to stop every verification rule anyone ever proposed ... treating barcodes on ballot envelopes like an existential threat.

That level of alarm over something this straightforward is the tell.

The rule doesn’t decide who gets to vote. It doesn’t touch state voter rolls. It just says that if a state wants to use the federal mail system to deliver and collect federal ballots, the envelopes need to carry the same kind of tracking information the Postal Service already uses for everything else. The technology isn’t new ... plenty of blue states and progressive election officials have been using intelligent mail barcodes for years. The Brennan Center even acknowledged it’s already common practice in many places.

So why the sudden panic when it becomes a uniform, enforceable standard?

Because once you can actually reconcile how many ballots went out against how many came back, you remove the ability to pretend the system is airtight when it isn’t. The people most furious about adding a basic paper trail are the ones who benefited most from not having one. Their reaction isn’t about protecting voters. It’s about protecting the current lack of accountability.

When the same voices that spent years expanding mail voting now treat simple tracking like an attack on democracy, they’re not hiding their concerns. They’re advertising them.

Honestly I could watch the Rubio Show all day. :-)

[AmericanPapaBear™ @AmericaPapaBear]

Marco Rubio just hit this Democrat with the most polite ‘Don’t let the door hit you in the way out’ in congressional history!

She came. She yelled. She ghosted.

Peak Democrat energy.

Who else loves watching Marco Rubio dunk on these Democrats like I do!?

On May 11, SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in Alabama’s favor.  Sotomayor dissented, virtually BEGGING the lower court to ignore SCOTUS.  On May 26, the lower court (INCLUDING TWO TRUMP APPOINTEES!) took Sotomayor’s advice, ignoring SCOTUS and ruling against Alabama.  Today, SCOTUS again ruled 6-3 in Alabama’s favor.  Among other things, this is a lesson in the hubris of federal judges, even Republican ones — which is why Republican Presidents must take extreme care in making these lifetime appointments.

[Jeff Clark @JeffClarkUS]

+1 Fresh off threatening DOJ lawyers to resist Trump or be chased to the ends of the earth and find themselves disbarred, Harry Litman is now warning new lawyers who are needed to fill DOJ vacancies -- vacancies he and his ilk are the ones creating using terror tactics -- that they should turn down offers to join DOJ, or their careers will be "tarred."

Instead, if they help Trump, they will not be able to get high-paying legal work when they leave DOJ.

Watch as he claims it's a black mark on your record, if you agree to work for @DAGToddBlanche. (Only working for Merrick Garland or Eric Holder can advance your career in BigLaw.)

Summary: Communist legal pressure groups are trying to create their own vicious cycle to destroy DOJ and undermine the presidency. If they can't run the place as a Democrat majority operation, then the place must be destroyed. That's their evil attitude.

I illustrate the negative cycle they are trying to create below. And note, they gin up these acts of destruction all while claiming that they really love the institution of DOJ. No, what they love is their own power. Nothing else matters.

No one can disagree with them about permissible options under the law or they will destroy the professional reputations and livelihoods of those who would stand in their way.

It is not an exaggeration to call these Bolshevik/Alinskyite tactics.

To test the zeitgeist of the Maine Senate race my son wore a "Graham Platner 2026" shirt today. He's been verbally abused twice, spit on and smacked with a shoe. Who knows what will happen when he finally leaves the house.

🚨 WOW. Rep. Brandon Gill throws Ohio Democrat State Senator into TEARS by asking: "Has Somali immigration been good for Ohio?"

"I'm processing your question and I was almost brought to tears just now!"

GILL: "72% of Somali immigrants are on welfare."

DEM: "The rate and level of HATEFUL RHETORIC based on false information!"

GILL: "They're defrauding the state at an astounding RATE. I think most Ohioans have a problem with that."

DEM: "Shocking. It's shocking to me. The lack of humanity to group—"

GILL: "It's INHUMANE to allow your own state to be DEFRAUDED at an astounding rate, billions taken!" 🔥

Well done, @RepBrandonGill 👏🏻

🚨 TILLIS TO BESSENT: Did you tell Director Pulte you’d punch him in the face?

BESSENT: “No sir — I actually said I was going to kick his ASS!”

It's becoming clear that the party who can't define what a woman is, has no idea what a man is either.

@IzaBooboo It is like the meme with the kid who pushes a stick into the spokes of his bike, and then wails when he falls off.

[Karl Wright @DaddyWri]

@awstar11 @Alicia_Smith19 It was clearly deliberate too.
"My way or the highway" was the subtext. Weiss et al chose "highway".

@cc37876 @redsteeze The OP is about DNC leftists melting down over the loss of another member of their media priesthood. You seem to be a troll. Bye, troll.

@EricLDaugh Newsom et al might be just as incompetent at gerrymandering than they are at running the state.
