"To actually draw the maps, PILF turned to Adam Kincaid, the executive director of the National Republican Redistricting Trust, the party’s national redistricting organization." www.democracydocket.com/a-texas-gerr...

It's all the info needed ..👍 Please Post, Repost or Blog it, Do whatever is needed to get the info out..👍

Trump has nothing on his public schedule again today..... maybe after the report that he's taking classified intelligence briefings only about once a week and all the bullshit back and forth with tariffs, Susie Wiles decided to take the senile grandpa off the board. Who's working the autopen now?

Wow. Just wow.

Republicans can only lose 3 Senate votes on Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and these senators are the most vulnerable in 2026: -Collins (ME) -Tillis (NC) -Sullivan (AK) -Husted (OH) -Moody (FL) -Cornyn (TX) -Ernst (IA) If they represent you, tell them to vote NO.  (202) 224-3121

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always 

"On Tyranny" will be #2 on the NYT paperback and #13 in the combined e-book and paperback this week. I am glad it’s useful. New hardback is just out. And free posters to use and share are here. timothysnyder.org/resources/

A staggering 40% of the country’s weather forecast offices have significant staffing vacancies. Some offices can no longer operate overnight – imperiling their ability to warn people of imminent extreme weather.  Make no mistake: DOGE's cuts put American lives at risk.

This was the single most powerful moment of last night's town hall with Ro Khanna - when a 6th grader asked "are we safe?" and then ran through a list of her fears, including her grandmother's health and friends with LGBTQ+ family.

As always, all the Trump administration puffery about "peace" just distracts from the real story: they have done just what Putin wanted and ended arms supplies to Ukraine.

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

This says it all

🤢

Next week, House Republicans will quietly meet to decide how many families and senior citizens they’ll kick off SNAP food assistance — all to fund tax breaks that make billionaires even richer. If you’re represented by a Republican, they need to hear from you on this betrayal of their constituents.

Every podcast should have these miners , the mayor of the town and others from the area on their podcasts and shows. Trumps name should never be mentioned. They know who caused it. I would love to hear what they feel needs to happen next and how to get there. Not what politicians think

Excellent analysis here of the crass unreality of Trump’s budget proposal. Worth adding—it is not just unreal but unrealistic. If something like this were followed it is unclear the US would be able to borrow money in 2026. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/budgets-as...
