JUST IN: Democrats have flipped a Trump+9 seat in the New Hampshire House, per reporter Kevin Landrigan.

Republicans outspent Dems by a considerable margin.

This is now the 10th special election flip for Ds in Trump's second term, versus zero for the GOP. sos.tn.gov/elections/20...

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

Fuentes is also terrified of women.

Consider the Rattle In a state that still hosts grisly β€œrattlesnake roundups,” human Texans should learn to see something of themselves in their ancient, slithering kin.

"It would be easy, and not wholly incorrect, to call me a diamondback partisan. If I am, it’s because I like rattlesnakes as they are."

For @texasobserver.org, I wrote about the rattlesnakes I've known, including the one I (accidentally!) almost grabbed upon first moving back to Austin

A "Golden Dome" is the perfect metaphor for a Trump defense project:

1. It will be expensive
2. It will be too soft to stop missiles

β€œJews don’t belong in American society” is the official stance of most Republicans and all of evangelical Christianity.
That’s what all the Israel shit is about.
They β€œsupport Israel” because that’s where Jews belong, to them. (And then when we’re all there that triggers the end times, etc etc)

I often get asked why I am so outspoken about protecting Jewish Folks in America and it'a always the same response (because it's true). Jewish and Black Folks have been allies for decades. The alliance hasn't always been easy but we're still here 60+ years later.

There needs to be a conversation about the unchecked antisemitism right now in Canada, especially in Toronto. Canadians love to act like they’re perfect, but they’re far from it. Racism and antisemitism are problems there just like they are here.

Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Nobody's "maligning" home ownership.
We're "maligning" private-equity funds that create artificial scarcities to corner local real estate markets, thereby making home ownership impossible for anyone without access to capital markets, foreign cash, or generational wealth.
Hope that helps.

CALL YOUR SENATORS and tell them absolutely NO on the SAVE act, which is deliberately designed to keep married women, trans people, & anyone who's ever changed their name from voting. It's an evil and pointless bill. Kill it dead.

This has become so frequent & so acceptable i see it even from allies despite many of us saying that referring to ANY person as a Nazi who wasn't an actual Nazi belittles the Holocaust & hurts us.

Especially referring to ANY ✑️ person as one is extra bad

It continues & rarely is it called out
