@GenXGirl1994 @rep_jackson His father is rolling in his grave watching his son be so useless to the cause.

@chlorbee Yep. He's doing it because he is 100% running for president, but hey. A win is a win.

Shocking moment from Brooklyn Collapse where 2 have died and nany injured. A woman claims she saw bricks falling before collapse and went over to a police officer sitting in his patrol car trying to warn that something is about to happen. Woman claims cop told her " get out of here" and did nothing while talking on his cellphone. Woman was totally distraught and crying.

@Zoomer_Doomer_ Not a whole lot of left stuff moving through Congress. All Dems votes the same on 99% of things, and it's only on a handful of votes where they distinguish themselves.

@sassyreigns We got one more day of the week, they need to not fix this until Monday.

[david @davidwave40]

Honestly, not bad for him.

Israël m'interdit d'entrer sur son territoire ? Je n'ai pas demandé à y entrer.

Si nous arrivons au pouvoir, nous dirons ce que nous aurons à dire.

À savoir : dénoncer le génocide à Gaza, la colonisation en Cisjordanie et l'annexion progressive du Sud-Liban et du plateau du Golan.

Refuser la loi du plus fort ou du plus fou et respecter, en toutes circonstances, le droit international : telle est notre ligne politique.

[david @davidwave40]

Almost all of these are good policy.

[Missouri GOP @MissouriGOP]

MISSOURI, THIS IS WHAT WE WARNED YOU ABOUT.

We warned that Amendment 6 would make sweeping changes to Missouri’s Constitution and laws harder to reverse. Now, just days after its passage, 10 new initiative petitions targeting the 2028 election have been submitted to the Secretary of State.

And what’s being proposed should concern every Missourian.

Here’s a breakdown of what these proposals would do:

🚩001 – Redefining Marriage & Gender Rights: Removes Missouri’s constitutional definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, establishes constitutional protections for gender identity and sexual orientation, and allows minors to seek trans surgery, therapy, or counseling with parental or guardian consent.

🚩002 – Proxy Voting in the Legislature: Allows citizens to assign their legislative votes to individual lawmakers, giving some legislators potentially thousands of votes while others have far fewer. This would fundamentally change how representation works in the General Assembly.

🚩003 – Overhauling Missouri’s Legislature: Repeals multiple constitutional provisions, eliminates legislative primaries, introduces statewide elections for legislators, and radically restructures how representation works in Missouri.

🚩004 – Electronic Initiative Petition Signatures: Allows initiative petitions to be signed electronically rather than requiring traditional paper signatures, raising serious questions about verification, security, and FRAUD.

🚩005 – Stripping the Governor’s Authority: Takes away the Governor’s independent power to issue pardons, commutations, and reprieves, and replaces the line-item veto with recommendations subject to legislative approval.

🚩006 – Ranked-Choice Voting: Introduces ranked-choice voting in Missouri elections with more than two candidates for a single office, replacing our traditional voting system with multiple rounds of vote counting and candidate elimination.

🚩007 – Eliminating Primary Elections: Abolishes primaries for congressional and state legislative races and moves to statewide elections using party lists, stripping voters of their traditional ability to choose their party’s nominees.

🚩008 – Government-Run Healthcare: Creates a state-administered healthcare cooperative funded through income-based membership payments, dramatically expanding government’s involvement in healthcare.

🚩009 – New Taxes for Green Energy: Imposes a new tax on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends to fund a government-administered renewable energy program.

🚩010 – Government-Built Housing: Establishes a state-run housing program financed through government bonds, offering homes at cost with no down payment and no interest over 30–40 years.

Make no mistake: These aren’t minor policy adjustments. These proposals would fundamentally reshape Missouri’s government, elections, and economy.

We warned about the consequences of Amendment 6, and now we’re seeing exactly why those warnings mattered.

Missouri’s Constitution is not a playground for radical political experiments. The fight to protect our state and our representative form of government is far from over. 🇺🇸

@wariocolosseum Master Chief never deserved. Halo was only arguably emblematic of a single era of games. Mario, Zelda, and Sonic games have defined various eras and continue to be relevant. Halo is not.

@eternallyRaq The event is just a 2026 post-mortem. 28ers are using it as an opportunity to schmooze, but Talarico being there is more about him asserting the lessons of 26 vs. him gearing up for a 28 run.

[david @davidwave40]

Thousands of Black Mississippians had their lawfully cast ballots tossed out bc of racist policies. Whatever Colom’s final margin, he likely won by more.

[@ijbailey @ijbailey]

The Colom victory is great and highly symbolic. Outstanding. But Black voters in the South had to overcome extreme voter suppression efforts, not just gerrymanders. Those barriers remain and must be uprooted. That should be our charge moving forward to really heal this democracy.

I have published my treatise on why young men returned to the Democratic Party en masse and it is this: After 10 years of Trump—and the administration’s constant appeals to garish Barstool-tinged masculinity—young men are tired of being talked to like they’re fucking idiots.

[david @davidwave40]

@jaythink @PopCrave Why does it matter? Baker spent most of her life in Europe and saw herself as European. Additionally, twigs is a critically acclaimed dancer and actress who seems best for the part.

MELAT. KIROS. YES.

A strong communicator, no BS, & she thankfully doesn’t sound like a Democratic Establishment automaton reading pre-approved talking points.

👏👏👏 Brava, Congresswoman-elect @MelatKirosCO.

Watching this SuperCut of networks calling the Mississippi Senate race for Scott Colom the Democrat is SOOOOOOOOOO satisfying.

@twizzyu Maybe I'm too Black to see the difference, but these look like the same person. Holscher is just what happens when you don't have hate in your heart.
