ND Sen. John Thune’s win as GOP Senate majority leader exposed the first cracks in Trump’s "MAGA-verse" that became more fortified after his decisive election night victory, and who added that MAGA influencers "just don’t carry that much weight in the halls of the Senate." said Columnist Jim Geraghty. He added that Thune’s victory is an indication that “not all of Washington is Trump-ified.”

CoSo,

As we watch the US get broken up and sold for parts--a victim of greed and ignorance--the rarity and value of this platform grows.

For seven years, @th3j35t3r has prioritized our safety and experience. He has never sold us out or worked an angle to profit from us.

He has given us the means to connect organically and without manipulation.

Now, more than ever, we need this place.

Let's get to 100% community funded this month.

Help, if you can

The success of the Republican party is based on training people to be proud of their shitty behavior instead of feeling guilty for it. An undercutting of the very fabric of society. A nation of self-righteous, selfish bullies.

Jack Smith will step down as Special Counsel before Donald Trump takes office.

The move will allow him to finish his report and leave the job before he can be fired.

A critical mass of voters simply did not hear about [trump's] positions, or did not believe them if they did. (The most bleak thread in this story are interviews with unauthorized immigrants who say they would have voted for Trump if they could, assuming that surely he would not deport them, as they’re honest and hardworking folks.)
