Gavin Newsom has told aides that he will redistrict California if Texas Republicans do the same, Trump imposes 50% tariffs on coffee from Brazil as retaliation, ICE places double-amputee in solitary
Sometimes you have to temporarily get in the snake pit to kill the snakes
Democrats refuse to step outside their comfortable CORRUPT BOX OF NORMS to fight the CORRUPT REPUBLICANS aka DOMESTIC TERRORIST ORGANIZATION
Until D’s/Judicial refuse to treat GOP like they’re a patriotic political party and stop pretending it’s biz as usual…there is no fight and the losers are WTP as they ALL continue collecting 6 figure salaries Insider Trading Corrupt Donors Money becoming millionaires as we get even poorer
WTP need to forget the corrupt government and take matters into our own hands with a strategic plan to take back our country
The government sure as hell isn’t going to do it if it means threatening their cushy do nothing jobs they work half a year!
Really tired of listening to D’s talk about all the laws and High Crimes of GOP and their big plan is to wait for an election that may never happen?? Or for the corrupt judicial to suddenly find their spines? Pffft
We’re already wasted a decade watching CORRUPT REPUBLICANS COMMITTING HIGH CRIMES MARCHING LOCK IN STEP WITH A CONVICTED PATHOLOGICAL LYING NAZI
I hope so because he never did squat about it before. Where are the reps calling out this illegal gerry pandering? What! I can't here you. Does nobody in the dems party-politic do nothing, until they HAVE TO DO SOMETHING? What a way to run an opposition. Let's just see what they do? Then "get mad folks," is their solution?
I must admit that the dems have been less than vocal about a lot that’s going on in Trumps government. The country needs strong leadership at this time more than at anytime since the civil war. I don’t know if this is a strategy (keeping silent) or not in order for THE PEOPLE to take action in their own hands. It makes me wonder who they’re protecting! Why aren’t they counter punching back? So many questions without answers are going to follow them into the midterms. Yes they will probably win because to allow Trump to be in TOTAL power with both authorities is suicide. America needs a stronger opposition. Now more than ever!
Bodhi please read the post I restacked today fromDissent in Bloom. You will learn how your democracy is under threat to the extent that you never realised. She say it so succinctly and every American should be made aware of this info.
There’s something wrong with the DNC. Seems seems like since Pelosi left no one’s been organizing comprehensively. Why on earth was there no expectation of dictator behavior on the first day of the administration? The Harris campaign appeared to know there was great danger and clear directions for overtaking our government since it was referred to repeatedly throughout the campaign. How on earth was there only shock day one and weeks before anything was said or done and has never been anything but scattershot. Nothing still to show any tracking or priorities to stop this madness. In any organized way to address before midterms. If dnc takes lead in Epstein stuff it will make Trump victim snd we lose midterm advantage. Midterms could also be manipulated. So now with most Americans angry is the time to have a prioritized coordinated effort. Why don’t we have anything than reacting to each distraction? We are Reactive. Never Responsive. Being lead around…
Well, it's better than fighting it with gasoline. :) I am glad he is doing something. What are the other Democratic governors doing? I checked with my Democratic governor in a very red state. We had our gerrymandering in 2022, and the next one will be in 2032. So ours benefited the Republicunts heavily as the House and Senate in the state of Kansas are majority Communist Red.
I agree with fighting for your rights. This redistricting, from what I understand can only be done once in a decade? So as this is mid-decade how is it even legal? I realise that Texas is a red state and they are afraid it might not be enough to keep the rethugs in the majority. Do you think that's why they are attempting to get MORE districts just incase they need them?
They anticipate losses so they are trying to make it so the voting results turn out in their favor. They know the midterms will be the end of both house and Senate majority, so they are trying to cheat. You are right. This should not happen mid-decade, which is why everyone is upset about it.
It's great that California isn't doing their redistricting until the people have a vote on it in November...but if the Red States are going to fight dirty isn't there some way they can vote earlier on that particular resolution? These are not normal times for American politics so surely if the republicans can cheat shouldn't the dems, maybe not cheat, but move to make this redistricting easier? The country is going through a once in a lifetime situation where it's possible that democracy is at stake after all!
I'm concerned that they are only seeking only 5 seats to counter Texass' 5 seats.. However, Utah just added one seat. Missouri is working on their map. Floriduhhh too. Kansas is now taking about doing the same. Which democratic state will counter all those other seats. I wish Newsom would go for as many seats as he can.
Frankly all the democrats should be shoring up their districts for the eventual election. I’m still not convinced that trump won’t pull a fast one to declare martial law and say “sorry no elections for now” it won’t matter if it’s illegal as he has the SCOTUS already willing to back anything he says. The people are the only ones who can make him back down. They can do this by cutting of funding his donors companies. Buy what you need from companies that are independent of trump supporters. Then let them know why. “You support trump, so I can’t support you!”
Brazil is the largest producer of coffee in the world. Now Trump wants to double the price of coffee from Brazil. With all the price increases now coming in the grocery stores thanks to his idiocy this will be another blow to Americans. No question. Trump is the dumbest occupant of the White House in history.
🍊💩is doing it on purpose to make everyone poorer, more desperate, less buying power, job loss at current pay, then less jobs, more desperation so willing to take a lower paying job or cut in pay but CEOs get more $ while we all lose. Being done with little things so you don’t notice it’s happening w/everything. More homelessness but he’s got that figured out: now illegal, put in institutions or prisons, let out to do some type of labor for $1/hr 🤬 Put the pieces of the puzzle together and it’s all part of Proj2025 plan🤬🤬🤬🤬
Yep, a dumb asshole who insists prices are down, yet has never been in a grocery store in his whole sorry life (except for that one photo op where he grabbed a bad of popcorn like it was a lifeline). He has no clue (and doesn't care) that prices are not down one cent. He just lies, hoping his followers will believe him instead of their own eyes. And sadly, they will. That's truly pathetic.
It is -- except when politicians get to choose their voters instead of the voters choosing their politicians. Gerrymandering, that is - a bane of honest elections.
They won't. They're afraid of losing their seats. I hope all the do-nothing dems do lose their seat! After the midterms there has to be a reckoning about what the party's stand for.
I appreciate you and your explaining in simple format for us that don't understand all this mess. Thank you for all you do and also being as neutral as you can be
True. Whether we hate some Dems for their lack of fighting for us regarding the horrific things the 🍊💩is doing to our country, Dems must gain back the House and Senate to stop the destruction. We must fight in anyway we can to get control!
Go Governor Newsom-just do it to get our democracy back
Exactly. The whole goal of Project 2025 is to make sure - by any means, legal or not - that Democrats never win another election. We HAVE to FIGHT this!
ALL DEMOCRATS BETTER BE READY TO FIGHT BACK. WE ARE PAST DUE AT THIS POINT. WE'RE LITERALLY GOING TO LOSE EVERYTHING IF WE DON'T.
Going high DOESN'T WORK. We need to fight at her level. Blue states are bigger, they're messing with fire.

Grrrrrrrrr🤬🤯
I agree
Gavin Newsom: Fighting fire with fire.

Does nobody in the dems party-politic do nothing, until they HAVE TO DO SOMETHING? What a way to run an opposition. Let's just see what they do? Then "get mad folks," is their solution?
We need an opposition leader bc Dems won’t even acknowledge we’re in a civil war and republicans are treasonous rats
They want to pretend the corrupt institutions that have crumbled are going to miraculously save the democracy
Democrats are not up to meeting this moment
WTP ARE ON OUR OWN

He is an idiot. Elderly veterans like him because of his belligerent voice.. Ted Roosevelt had a soft voice with a big stick.
It'll be called "Starbucks Gate."
Anything to distract from Epstein Pedo Gate.
Gerrymandering should be illegal and eliminated.
1 vote-1 person. The end of it.
I thought it was.
It is -- except when politicians get to choose their voters instead of the voters choosing their politicians. Gerrymandering, that is - a bane of honest elections.
But is it though?
I mean it SHOULD be, but I feel like the Electoral College already kinda kills that concept no?
Well, that's why I characterized gerrymandering as "a bane," rather than "the bane." I don't like the Electoral College any more than y'all do.
Absolutely correct.
Gerrymandering should be illegal and eliminated AND until it is, democrats need to fight fire with fire.
They won't. They're afraid of losing their seats. I hope all the do-nothing dems do lose their seat! After the midterms there has to be a reckoning about what the party's stand for.
I appreciate you and your explaining in simple format for us that don't understand all this mess. Thank you for all you do and also being as neutral as you can be
Ohio is already so fucking gerrymandered it’s absurd! Republicans can only win if they cheat! The worst of the worst!
They're supposed to FIX the maps we have! They're illegal maps!
Good job, Aaron, and perfect with my first coffee. Clear, concise, no nonsense. Appreciated.
Good, fight fire with fire. We cannot continue to sit back and let the republican party destroy our country, take away our freedoms and our democracy.
True. Whether we hate some Dems for their lack of fighting for us regarding the horrific things the 🍊💩is doing to our country, Dems must gain back the House and Senate to stop the destruction. We must fight in anyway we can to get control!
Go Governor Newsom-just do it to get our democracy back
All blue states should do it. Stop playing by the rules because they arnt.
They keep stealing elections! Every Democrat needs to wake up too how dirty Republicans are!
Exactly. The whole goal of Project 2025 is to make sure - by any means, legal or not - that Democrats never win another election. We HAVE to FIGHT this!
I frickin LOVE Gavin Newsom!!! I hope other blue states follow his lead.
I love Gavin Newsom a man for the people real people not those who live in glass houses GIVE IT TO THEM RICH BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP
I wish the electoral college was eliminated!
Great! There is no high road with the republicans. We must fight fire with fire.
Can someone stop Trump from this MADNESS!!! WTFFF ITS SO OBVIOUS WHAT HES TRYING TO DO. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE
Talk about "rigged elections." Republicans are masters at that.
They are backed by the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 (P.594). Never forget that.
