"As much as pundits and voters may point to the economy or immigration or crime as the reason voters backed Trump, the truth is that Trump offered virtually nothing in the way of actual policy on any of those issues. He offered instead the promise of masculine strength and male dominance, of men returned to their rightful positions of authority in the White House and in houses across America."

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said Sunday that she has “no intention” of dropping the criminal case against a group of President-elect Donald Trump’s allies who sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Arizona.

“I have no intention of breaking that case up. I have no intention of dropping that case,” Mayes, a Democrat, told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi.

“A grand jury in the state of Arizona decided that these individuals who engaged in an attempt to overthrow our democracy in 2020 should be held accountable, so we won’t be cowed, we won’t be intimidated,” she added.

over the next few months, the US is going to speed run the first 5 years of the Chavez administration in Venezuela. We are going to go straight from "hey cool. It's the will of the people" to " I didn't realize that you could fire everyone who disagrees with you" and "oh look, these complicated systems don't actually run themselves"

The privileged opposition has so far been playing its part perfectly. Talking about the "next election" as if everything is normal.

Fascinating how the Florida GOP Chair was pulled over drunk off his rocker, with a loaded firearm in his car, & with silver bars(?!)—& he was calmly arrested without weapons even once being drawn.

Wish Philando Castile & Sandra Bland would’ve got that same treatment while sober.

My opponent Rep Bill Foster (a Democrat) claims to stand with UAW workers. But I have the receipts that show the opposite.
