In the last 70 years, when a party has won the Senate majority at the ballot box, it has always lasted *at least* two election cycles (and generally more) Donald Trump may have gambled away the GOP Senate majority after just two years.

It is highly unusual for a Senate majority to be as short-lived as GOP control will have been if Dems win the Senate today The last time the Senate flipped two cycles in a row **due to elections** was 1952 & 1954 (Dems had a short-lived majority 2001-2 due to party switching)

You know what’s great evidence that voting matters? The fact that billionaires spend enormous money to influence elections

If you believe CHIRLA's data scientists, I've got a great meme coin investment for you!

CHIRLA represents naturalized citizens who fear being disenfranchised by the Trump administration’s vague, error-prone voter challenges.

As Russia murders Ukrainians civilians and attacks civilian targets... Trump lifts sanctions. To cover for his own disastrous decision to go to war in the Middle East.

As I indicated in my previous post, the U.S. Treasury confirms the U.S. is lifting sanctions on Russian diesel exports (including into the U.S.) until April 2027.

Over 10% of U.S. residents now live in a different congressional district after an unparalleled deluge of mid-decade partisan redistricting over the past year. The report warned that a “two-party doom loop of redistricting” will likely accelerate. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

Oh I remember this part of the book. It's funny that the cash amount promised to voters ($5,000) hasn't even gone up. It came out in 1935.

Why is everyone pretending they don't understand the meaning of words? I'm sorry, but there's zero ambiguity here. Nothing in the Grassley docs raises any real question of perjury. Smith was asked about a completely different category of documents.

The @FBI has identified cyber actors associated with Russian Intelligence Services targeting users of commercial messaging applications, including Signal. The campaign targets individuals of high intelligence value, including current and former U.S. government officials, military personnel, political figures, and journalists.   Globally, this effort has resulted in unauthorized access to thousands of individual accounts. After gaining access, the actors can view messages and contact lists, send messages as the victim, and conduct additional phishing from a trusted identity. It's important for you to be aware and take action - this vulnerability is not with the application - but you as the end user.   The FBI and CISA have released a joint PSA to help you identify this activity and protect your accounts: ic3.gov/PSA/2026/PSA260320
