Tonight, was another reminder: there is no single mold for a Democratic winner.
Progressives won. Moderates won. Rural, suburban, urban —they all won. Black, White, Latino, AAPI — they all won. We won in the East, South, Midwest and West. Victories in races from City Council to Governor.
As Wednesday, August 6th, Article I, Section 9 and Article I, Section 10 have been removed from constitution.congress.gov, covering due process and foreign gift giving.
I urge everyone to grab a correct copy and share it on your blog/website for posterity.

This is disgusting and the military should refuse
WTF is wrong with everyone?!
A federal judge ruled for our clients, blocking the Trump administration from enforcing a directive banning schools from teaching or operating any programs related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Had so much fun cohosting and talking with the inspiration for “Four Dragons” and “The Drift.”
See you on the other side.
Dial it up, Walter! 💨

Kamala Harris: “he’s a fascist”
Gen. Milley: “he’s a fascist”
John Kelly: “he’s a fascist”
Historians of fascism: “he’s a fascist”
The NY/DC political media: “how did we all fail to see that Donald Trump was a fascist?”
Spotted in Durham, true across the nation. 😔
Photo from April 18, 2025 of the Old North Boston Church with lit words projected on the side: "Let the warning ride forth once more: Tyranny is at our door."
"Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year."
Meanwhile in Michigan, it’s parka weather in the morning (34) and T-shirt weather by 2pm (74). Welcome to spring.
💕💕💕Thank you so much! 💕💕💕
Scene transitions are the unsung heroes of storytelling. Done right, readers glide from one location to the next without even noticing. Done poorly, they’re left wondering if they accidentally skipped three pages.
Yet another example of how reading comprehension has bit the dust.
Reshore jobs then make sure people can’t do them. This administration can’t count to 2, let alone create cohesive policy.
Oh, SNL… Thanx for the laughs. Much needed.
Copy of 24th Amendment of US Constitution: Section 1 "The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax." Section 2 "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
Gaining a copy of your birth certificate or applying for a passport cost money. The SAVE Act will require women who've changed their name to provide extra identification or they CANNOT vote.
In other words, the SAVE Act is a poll tax and a violation of the 24th Amendment.
Contact @govjoshshapiro.bsky.social and call for a recount.
Hey Pennsylvania. Time to contact your governor and apply pressure for a recount.
Make the call now. This morning. Or say bye-bye to equal rights.

Restrictions on voter registration can determine who wins and who loses. So can limits on early voting and vote-by-mail access. Close elections often hinge on which votes are counted — and which are disqualified. Even when results aren’t close, Republicans increasingly contest outcomes they dislike.
Then explain how. It's my understanding that the usual line of succession is VP to Speaker to Sec of State (although under war, the succession is different).
They’d need to remove Vance as well. Next in line after him and Johnson would be Rubio. (Sec of State)
Love them both, but DS9 brings me the most chills.
