COLORADO SECRETARY OF State Jena Griswold, a Democrat, supported the unsuccessful effort to block former President Donald Trump from her state’s ballot — on the grounds that he had engaged in “insurrection” by inciting the violent Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. In return, she received an escalating torrent of abuse and violent threats.
In the seven months since Colorado residents first sued the state to keep Trump off the ballot, bringing Griswold in as a co-defendant, the number of serious threats leveled against Griswold increased more than 600 percent, according to data her office provided to Rolling Stone. The threats directed at Griswold spiked amid the ...

'I want a drug test': Trump floats idea President Biden is using cocaine
Former President Donald Trump floated the possibility that President Joe Biden was using cocaine when he delivered his State of the Union address this year. In a Thursday interview, Hugh Hewitt asked the former president about debating Biden ahead of the 2024 election. "Yeah, anywhere...

A son of Biden, & a son of Trump snorting? Trump's hypocrisy (if any) noted.

An observation, Melania pastes on a fake, half/hearted smiley face only in the presence of others; otherwise, she’s scowling like a badger, aging painfully in front of us despite lavish expenditures to delay the process; but mainly, she’s so obviously miserable. The check must have again bounced.
I consider that outright propaganda, not biased partisanship, or divergent political perspective. It casts the opposition as the enemy.
Problem is, it's a lie millions wish to believe.
I'm a little bit sympathetic w/ Melania. I have a hunch she'd have left the Donald by now, if he weren't pressuring her into making it look like he's an adequate husband.
Wouldn't surprise me if she asked herself, - how bad could marrying this guy be ? -
Now she knows.

Apparently "woke" is an insult used by those who are politically asleep.

It seems it's not that Kennerly opposed recognizing Cheney, but protests the foundation's refusal to do so.
I'm w/ Kennerly on this one.

Problem is:
I wish both of them good luck. BUT !!
They'll have to "bring a friend".
Not quite sure what to make of the bipartisan endorsement: "Occupy Democrats" & " Republicans Against Trump".
"Occupy Democrats" are the one with the tweet logo. As that's now "X" I suspect this is a tenured meme. Obsolete? Don't know.
a) Can they "bring it" this November? Or alternately
b) will Trump be in prison by then?
bonus:
c) Will Harris be president before inauguration day 2029?

No surprise here
I first read of this "gotcha" from HuffPo.
So I watched the segment in its entirety.

Sununu's another partisan hack *.
It's not a prediction. But I am aware the Republican presidential candidate may well be unavailable, whether imprisoned, or otherwise unable to attend to the duties of the presidency. Short of that, hope rests with Biden, or the Grim Reaper. - uh oh -
It's as simple as A B C, everybody loves George Snuffelupecus. - adorable -
* Only one of the two candidates was party to insurrection. Sununu backs the one that was.
So I watched the segment in its entirety.
Naïvely perhaps, I thought very well of the younger Sununu (never cared much for the elder) during the primary, before Trump had sewn it up. For a while Sununu seemed to have Liz Cheney scale principle, backbone, explicitly opposing Trump for the insurrection.

Alabama’s Black voters seek chance to be heard after years of being silenced
Montgomery, the state’s capital, is included in a new congressional district, and on Tuesday, a runoff will decide who stands in NovemberMontgomery, Alabama is the birthplace of the Confederacy and of the civil rights movement. Its history speaks volumes about the state of American democracy. It is perhaps ironic, then, how the last generation of its voters have largely been silenced.
For decades, Alabama’s capital city has been split between two or three different congressional districts – a deliberate effort by state leaders to prevent power from accreting to Black voters. Recently the region has been represented by a white Freedom Caucus Republican. But last year a bruising court battle forced Alabama to redraw its district lines, finally placing the entire city and a wide swath of Alabama’s Black Belt of African American residents in the same congressional district.
The runoff for the newly drawn congressional district is Tuesday. Now Montgomery – and Alabama’s Black voters – have to be heard by anyone who wants to serve them in Congress.
“We want somebody who is philosophically aligned with the city,” said Steven Reed, the mayor of Montgomery. “On issues around voting rights, on issues around healthcare, Medicaid expansion and access to healthcare, we would like to have an advocate.”
“From our standpoint, there’s a tremendous need for the congressman to be able to leverage their position in the United States House of Representatives to bring resources back.”
Dexter Avenue in Montgomery is a living monument to civil rights leaders. Stand at the bottom of the hill next to a bronze statue of Rosa Parks and look up, past the first church Martin Luther King led – a church founded on the site of ...
