Suddenly, America is forced to remember what Trump would do to them First of all, it would be very funny. It would be undeniably hilarious if an objectively terrible yet racist joke cost Donald Trump the presidency. Karma itself could not conceive of a better way to deny this ill
A Democrat Abroad in France explains the threat re-electing Cruz poses to weather forecasting and understanding our planet This is a guest post from Max Dunitz, a Democrat Abroad I met while talking to DA’s Michigan team. Please let all Americans overseas know there’s a very good chance
The name of the federal judge who acted like Trump’s defense attorney and disappeared his most obvious criminal charges against the X-President, at least for now, has been included on a list of Attorney General candidates for a second Trump regime. While this might be the only way to
If dozens of states were allowed to ban guns, you'd never hear the end of it My first inkling of the backlash to the end of Roe that I hoped to see in the world came in July 2022 in my home state of Michigan. That’s when
Bill Barr is a cautionary tale for all of us. Possibly even JD Vance. Donald Trump is not well. This is a much more complicated fact to assert than it should be because it has always been too true in too many ways. He wasn’t well when he called
Join us tonight at 6 PM ET/ 9 PM ET to talk with Billy Wimsatt, the founder of the Movement Voter Project, which acts like a mutual fund to support local, trusted organizers who can turn out the “undecided about voting” voters who will push Harris/Walz and downballot Democrats
Nearly two million worldly Americans could vote in swing states. But as many as 90% won't*. *Unless we can somehow reach them. If you know any Americans abroad who haven't voted, including thyself, send them to VotefromAbroad.org immediately to get a ballot. As many as
Don't let billionaires frog boil your brain this October You probably didn’t even notice. But last week, one of the more disgraceful acts in the history of the American elections happened on what used to be Twitter. Hours after he “joked” about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
Besides debating Kamala Harris Some remarkable details from a new NBC News national poll that Daniel Nichanian from Bolts picked out: Dig into the poll, and you will find this chart: Project 2025 manages to be more unpopular than JD Vance and Socialism combined. This is a remarkable result in
Silicon Valley has updated the most destructive technology in the history of American politics JD Vance wants me furious. And it’s working. This poser, who is one coin flip and a bad corn dog away from the presidency, is getting to me. Watching his smile grow smugger with each
A simple two-step plan to eventually defeat fascism You’ve said it. I’ve said it. Everyone you like has said it. I’m sick of having to save democracy every four years. Ugh. Can’t we go back to simply having to defeat awful Republicans, knowing that they’d
Elon Musk will stoke violence in the US, says Marcy Wheeler. He'd clearly back another Trump coup. So what's the hold-up? Elon Musk—the guy who needs to pollute your newsfeed with every one of his inane, bigoted thoughts—can’t help but be obvious. It’
Anyone who suggests otherwise is just trying to elect him (so he can ban abortion) It’s pretty ridiculous. As abortion rights have become an even bigger issue in the 2024 election—with Trump flopping into public support of the ban in Florida that has destroyed abortion access for the
MAGA has benefited from the few restraints in our system, which Trump lackeys like Musk have done their worst to destroy It’s been almost three weeks since the Trump campaign confirmed reports that it had been hacked. The intelligence community has swiftly identified Iran as behind the attack that
And Biden/Harris has the best record for both jobs and labor. It's bizarre this just doesn't get mentioned. The fact checkers have tied themselves into Gummy Pretzels to try to disprove a fact that Bill Clinton noted in his speech at the DNC, “Since the
The new episode of Ball of Thread shows how Trump perverts the power of the government against anyone who gets in his way It would be bad enough if Project 2025 were just a 1,000-page plan to turn over government into a machine that only serves the worst fundamentalist
The Shillbilly's aggressive weirdness isn't designed to win over voters. It's part of an attack on democracy that could easily make him president. One could easily believe that JD Vance is the Universe’s way of teaching us the new ways the far right
The billionaire enemy of public education offers a tacit endorsement of another insurrection On Thursday, January 7th, 2021, Betsy DeVos pretended she cared about the United States of America. That’s when the billionaire donor, her one qualification for the job of Secretary of Education that Trump gave her as
And forcing them to give birth is an atrocity JD Vance looks annoyed. OK. He always looks annoyed. But JD Vance looks particularly annoyed that people are taking his comments about “childless cat ladies” personally. It’s so annoying to poor JD that people are starting to note that attacking
The right wing has kicked our ass by rigging the game. But they don't get to decide how long that works. My most chilling and inspiring epiphany in 2024 is that MAGA is already America’s national religion… until we say it isn’t. The backstory: Having a
How a floundering clown normalized treachery and the prospect of an American dictator I get it. Donald Trump still feels like a joke, a clown, an escaped puppet from Genesis’ Land of Confusion video, especially to those old enough to get that Mesozoic reference. So you might be able to
Kamala Harris’ superb rollout allows Democrats to win more lasting power in the states. The fundraising tsunami since Joe Biden stepped down and Kamala Harris stepped up on Sunday has been historic in its scope and depth: The coordinated Harris campaign reported Tuesday morning that they had raised more than
Elon Musk’s $44 billion donation to Trump will make the site less than unusable by October. It’s time to admit that the oligarchs are done with democracy. They want their Trump, and they will do anything they can to get it. And they’re used to getting what
The GOP nominee may have picked the one American his second-biggest donor prefers over him. 0:00 /0:26 1× The pick of JD Vance, who underperformed Ohio’s last Republican Senator by 15% and the entire Ohio GOP ticket by 11%, has made clear that Donald Trump isn’t
