I am dying of the schadenfreude: Republicans at the state and local level are drowning in bills, legal and otherwise, as the 'purists' in the far MAGA right 'punish' the 'RINOs'.
Mind: they are still very dangerous, and their backers are white supremacist billionaires, so 2024 is going to suck.
But boy, fuck all these assholes; may they stab each other's backs all year long. Hell, for the rest of their lives.
Everything is politics and all politics are connected. And so, for defending the humanity--and the human rights--of Palestinians, now the Squad is facing the AIPAC funding their opponents to the tune of A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.
Please note: AIPAC has already spent money against progressive politicians. AIPAC represents Israel's government, not Jews who are critical of it, and not human rights.

The U.S. #PressIsComplicit in cleaning up Trump's record on everything from abortion to gun violence; the same outlets, the same editors, in many cases the same reporters who cheered him on to the White House in 2016, then were "horrified" by him during his administration, are now right there, cheering him on again.
Then they'll bemoan that trust in the media is so low.

Since the fall of Roe v. Wade, abortion has been a losing issue for Republicans. This was evident in this year’s election: in Ohio, voters approved a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion rights. In Kentucky, pro-choice Governor Andy Beshear (D) won his re-election against a candidate who staunchly defended the state’s abortion ban. And, in Virginia, a state where Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin recently embraced a 15-week abortion ban, Democrats secured majorities in both chambers of the statehouse.
