When Democrats tried in 2020 to get Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin to count early votes early—like Florida—Republicans killed the bills so Trump could win day-of-voting tallies and try to throw out mail in ballots. It’s a scam for people Trump thinks are stupid.

From 1966 to 2025 we dropped sterile flies over South America that ate screwworm and thus prevented them from spreading, but the le epic efficient cracked coders at DOGE thought this was a silly waste of the ~0 dollars it cost us.

Reporter: How do you define ceasefire?

Trump: In that part of the world, ceasefire is when you're shooting in a more moderate manner

There was a non partisan commission, set up 10 years ago, that had worked to put on our 250th birthday.

Guess who cancelled it and created a MAGA only commission?

That’s why you’re getting the equivalent of a small county fair on a national scale.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America. 

He embodies the broken system we’re running against.

It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

This whole John Cornyn pity party in the Senate GOP has been genuinely hilarious to watch lol. Literally all you guys had to do was vote to block the guy from ever running for president again when you had the chance

Black American should not be given reparations for hundreds of years of slavery. Here’s why the January 6 rioters should be given reparations for a couple months in jail for committing treason

People couldn’t go 4 weeks without Applebee’s 6 years ago and they still whine about it now

It's often hyperbolic to say any one member of Congress's vote actually mattered, but in Cassidy's case it's true - he could have tanked RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS and he chose not to. He's no hero. He's a moral coward and is getting (politically) what he deserves.

So the Supreme Court said four months was too close to the Texas primary for a lower court to block their congressional map, but one week is enough time in Alabama?

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

So you're telling me that cutting tariffs leads to lower prices?

Fascinating.

Everything Republicans have done shows why the VRA was necessary.

The Confederate states only respect rights when forced to by the Feds.
