We win 7 of these races, and Manchin and Sinema become irrelevant.
If we get it done, Democrats can deliver transformative change — without being blocked by the filibuster.

Judge Aileen Cannon’s bizarre decision endangers national security and attacks the rule of law. It is untethered from principle and purely results-driven. Its defense of the idea that the former president deserves privileged treatment is pathetic. She is a disgrace to the bench.
Blowhard dirtbag

Conservatism as hierarchy maintenance, competing visions of what America should be – a land of and for white Christians vs an egalitarian, multiracial, pluralistic democracy -, and how the Right is giving itself permission to embrace extremism and political violence.

Whenever originalism gets brandished in the Supreme Court, you can find right-wing ideology lurking in the shadows.
This isn’t “judicial philosophy” – it’s camouflage.
Here’s what’s going on in the Supreme Court: the right-wing dark money “fictitious name” front group “Honest Elections Project” is boosting a MAGA theory giving state legislatures virtually unchecked power over federal elections.

Michael Flynn: From government insider to holy warrior
The emcee introduced him as “America’s General,” but to those in the audience, Flynn is far more than that: martyr, hero, leader, patriot, warrior.
The retired lieutenant general, former national security adviser, onetime anti-terrorism fighter, is now focused on his next task: building a movement centered on Christian nationalist ideas, where Christianity is at the center of American life and institutions.
Flynn brought his fight — a struggle he calls both spiritual and political — last month to a church in Batavia, New York, where thousands of people paid anywhere from a few dollars to up to $500 to hear and absorb his message that the United States is facing an existential threat, and that to save the nation, his supporters must act.
After the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago, state-owned TV Russia One aired news anchor Eugeny Popov gloating that Russian officials already had the top secret nuclear documents that Trump had stolen and that Russia’s military and intel agents were reviewing them.

Zuckernerd Facebook engineers admit that the company’s systems are so open and complex that they don’t know where user data is stored. “It would take multiple teams on the ad side to track down exactly the—where the [user] data flows.” We just updated the story with Facebook/Meta’s comment. Essentially the company is saying that the systems are so complex no one engineer can find where user data is.
@BeachBoomerDog3
Oh. Bull. Shit. !!! Of course Facebook engineers know where that shit is. They gave the Russians at Cambridge Analytica commented Facebook code *in Russian* so that they could more easily hack the 2016 election. Occam’s Razor suggests Facebook coders are fullosh.

The Wins Keep Coming
Student loan forgiveness undermines one of our military’s greatest recruitment tools at a time of dangerously low enlistments.
Federal student debt payments have been paused since March 2020. If you made any payments since then, YOU CAN REQUEST A REFUND through your student loan servicer. That money—quite literally—belongs to you.
