I take slight issue w/ 1 of your statements. "was, indeed, a super big deal. Not just for Democrats, who desperately needed this kind of win." It's not just democrats who need the win. It's US citizens as a whole.

“The MAGA majority may have a shorter run than advertised.” From the WSJ no less. Let's keep the momentum going as we celebrate this victory.
Thank you for this "gift".

If nothing else, it is satisfying to see people tell that South African Nazi to take his money and stuff it. But hopefully it is a sign that it is dawning on folks that we are really screwed up and need do something about it.

“Schimel will support President Trump’s agenda!” “President Donald Trump needs your vote. Stop the radical liberal takeover.”

Please dont just do a victory lap. We need to #FreeKilmar Garcia. Deported to the gulag due to "admin error" as Trump injustice department admits

#DueProcessMatters

Obama got Bin Laden and Trump can't fix this?

Weak. Sadistic. Unacceptable.

Maybe Trump, JD and Pam just hate good dads/husbands?

Poor Elon is money rich and worthless at the same time.

But is it sustainable? Cuz let’s be real….we’re in Trump 2.0 when no sane person thought we’d ever be.
