She was immediately told by her friend, far-right activist D’Anna Morgan, β€œDon’t do that!” because I was standing right there. She said β€œOh” and looked right at me filming her.

Be worried about Republican Nazis. I was on a trip with a group of MAGAs including a couple of 20 somethings. They joked about a friend who told his 6 year old to check the oven to see if the Jew was done. It was hilarious to them when the child went to the oven and parroted back those awful words.

The 6 corrupt Rethuglican US Supreme Court β€œJustices” who fabricated a new Constitutional rule (that in the USA the President if Republican cannot be held responsible for his crimes-repealing the Magna Carta) are fully responsible for Trump’s ongoing outrageous ostentatious lawlessness. It’s on them

This is why the Republican's controlling Texas are truly concerned about James Talarico.

"We're building a movement to take on this broken, corrupt political system on behalf of all people in our state."

"...There is a deep hunger for a different kind of politics."

A nice result from tonight: one of the Republican candidates resigned his seat on the Dalton City Council to run for GA114. Although they're technically nonpartisan elections, the woman who won the election to replace him tonight was the Democrat.

The first of three NH towns that make up tonight’s legislative special election came in.

The Republican is up 5% there. In 2024, the Republican won here by 26% on the way to winning the district by 14%.

January 6 commemorative plaque appears in Capitol after years of delay | CNN Politics A plaque honoring the heroism of police officers during the January 6, 2021, attack by a mob supportive of President Donald Trump has quietly been installed at the US Capitol after years of delay.

Speaker Johnson may have tried to bury the January 6 plaque, but it’s finally in the Capitol. We fought hard to permanently honor the law enforcement officers who defended us and this institution during a deadly riot incited by the President.

Trump is so terrified of losing the midterms that instead of ending the war he started or lowering the costs his tariffs drove up, he’s trying to bully the Senate into silencing voters.

Mr. President, how about doing the job you were elected to do instead?
