Donald Trump is a loser, and he and the GOP can't escape his failures. How are they messing up right now? The GOP electeds still bow before Trump and his Ballroom even as his popularity plummets. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-approval-sinks-record-low-war-with-iran-drives-cost-of-living-concerns-2026-04-28/ Lindsey Graham wants YOU to pay for Trump's ballroom. https://democrats.org/news/lindsey-graham-asks-taxpayers-to-foot-the-bill-for-trumps-ballroom/ The Ballroom - and Trump's other vanity projects - are unpopular. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/04/30/washington-post-poll-trump-ballroom/ Meanwhile while you pay for the Ballroom you're paying more at the pump and facing inflation. https://apnews.com/article/consumer-prices-gas-inflation-5c2037950e57d8e5d402a40b8fc41384 A GOP PAC is panicking about losing the Senate. Let's make sure that happens. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/04/30/congress/koch-americans-for-prosperity-worries-republican-senate-majority-00899307 #politics #democrats #democracy #california #santaclara #USPol #CAPol

They sacked the Capitol and brought the Confederate flag, but racism poses no threat to democracy in America, so there’s no cause for concern, according to Roberts et al. #uspol #voting #SCOTUS #democracy

‘This isn’t what I voted for’ Oh, Hell yeah you did! You should have stopped playing Candy Crush and updating Facebook every 3 minutes and paid more attention to who you were voting for. The writing was on the wall the whole time. #MAGA #gop #republicans #democracy #politics #trump #scotus #dictatorship #constitution #epstein #EpsteinFiles #iran #middleeast #Israel #news #worldnews

Will 2026 finally be the year of third parties in the United States, the year when voters are fed up with our political duopoly? https://www.cfr.org/articles/the-u-s-economy-was-shaky-before-the-iran-war-now-its-in-real-trouble #elections #democracy #duopoly #elections2026 #DemocraticParty #GOP #midtermElections #politicalParties #USElections #USPolitics

In *Erasing History: How Fascists Re-write the Past to Control the Future,* Jason Stanley observes the “mutually reinforcing” relationship between representation and practice. How we describe and talk about the past informs how we practice politics and frame the rights of citizenship today. These stupid A250 trucks are driving around today as SCOTUS guts the Voting Rights Act (6-3) and these two things are mirror images of each other. #history #uspol #law #democracy #semiquincentennial

Back to the Guardian: “The US is back at war. Its president has threatened to destroy an entire civilisation, posted AI images of himself as Jesus and survived his third assassination attempt, while on the domestic front federal officers have killed American citizens at point-blank range. Quite the year to be celebrating American greatness.” #history #uspol #law #democracy #semiquincentennial

And then this: At the bottom there’s a QR code that encourages you to “discover more fun and quizzes at PragerU”. The code links to PragerU’s website page Capitalism 101. “Sign up to learn why capitalism is the greatest and fairest economic system ever known,” it says. “Capitalism gave us great prosperity, yet why is it so misunderstood and even demonized?” #history #uspol #law #democracy #semiquincentennial

Why is capitalism interrogated and sometimes despised by the people who come into contact with it? Because this is America, you boot-licking moral blanks, and we express ourselves and reflect on our many different experiences freely. Because that is our right as citizens, to resist your attempts to dictate truth and historical knowledge. #history #uspol #law #democracy #semiquincentennial

The contempt motion landed Tuesday and the chamber barely flinched. House Dems moving on AG Bondi over withheld documents — third DOJ stonewall in 18 months. Not a glitch. The operating system. Today's Daily Gathering breaks down what the apparatus is doing — and what you do back. #Politics #Resistance #Democracy #Bondi #Accountability #Contempt #News → https://twp.ai/4hpTp4

Democrats have a 10 point lead over Republicans in the midterm. Let's work to make sure it gets bigger AND we elect Democrats to every position everywhere. https://emersoncollegepolling.com/april-2026-national-poll/ #uspol #democracy #democrats

"Purge Palantir" is a "campaign to raise awareness of the need to get Palantir out of our government and our lives."

Fractures let light in: 4 GOP senators oppose the bill. Scott, Paul, Hawley blinked. Bootlickers see the obscenity. Junta cracks. #GOP #Republicans #PoliticalFracture #RandPaul #JoshHawley #Senate #Opposition #Democracy #News #Breaking https://twp.ai/9OUm8h

Anyone asserting encryption is a tool for crime is either painfully misinformed or is attempting to manipulate legislators to gain oppressive power over the people. Encryption is not a crime, encryption is a shield. Encryption protects you from cyberattack, identity theft, discrimination, doxxing, stalking, sexual violence, physical harm, and much more. For safety, for privacy, for democracy, and for all our human rights, it's critical that we defend our right to encryption. https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/04/11/encryption-is-not-a-crime/ #Privacy #Encryption #DigitalRights #HumanRights #Democracy #RootForE2EE
