It can't be lost on anyone that the people inflicting this damage are from the camp that took the worst electoral beating a few months back, and now they're holding the country over a barrel because they feel they should be entrusted with *more* power. Voters need to be made to remember this in 2024 and punish these malicious idiots. #politics
Local news just interviewed a Long Island GOP resident in NY03 who campaigned for George Santos and was invited his swearing in. She said she is going to DC to tell him to resign!

For anyone, especially if you live in NY-03, my friend Elizabeth Kaiser Venuti (who lives in district) asked me to share the following:
“I just spoke with the office of special counsel for the NYS Board of Elections. I figure the only way to make sure George Santos doesn't represent NY3 is with pressure from voters. They told me that the advice they are giving people is to write to [email protected]. I already sent an email.” #voting #politics #elections

Sinema saw the writing on the wall: she cannot win a primary for either party. She will caucus with us, and this will be her first and final term. Grandiose ambitions, detached from reality. #politics

What a 51-49 Senate majority means for Democrats #politics

Why Trump and Kevin McCarthy should fear a Warnock victory
In an evenly divided Senate, subpoenas are issued on a bipartisan basis. But having 51 Democratic senators in the next Congress would give Democrats on key committees unilateral control over investigations.
If Democrats used that power wisely but aggressively, they could demonstrate to the country what congressional oversight looks like when it’s genuinely conducted in the public interest...#politics #AssWaffle
It's the *awareness* of systemic injustice, not the "belief" of its existence. ~ awareness that leads to knowledge. However, he doesn’t much care about what anyone believes, he just wants everyone to profess there’s no inequality, and maintain the status quo. A gaslighting state.

The Real Problem With the Second Alleged Leak at the Court
It doesn’t matter if Alito preemptively revealed the outcome in Hobby Lobby. Consider the rest of the story.
Undisputed is the fact that Alito and his wife were dining in June 2014 with wealthy donors who had a vested interest in the outcome of Hobby Lobby

With a nod to '1984,' a federal judge blocks Florida's anti-'woke' law in colleges.
A federal judge in Florida partially blocked a law championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis designed to limit the discussion of racism and privilege in schools and workplace training.
In a 139-page order issued Thursday, Tallahassee U.S. District Judge Mark Walker excoriated the Republican-led bill and blocked it from taking effect in the state's public universities. #politics
