Two words: Where’s Mitch?

That’s another crime occurring in broad daylight.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

The silence is definitely speaking volumes, Al. We need accountability now more than ever!

Rose Edgar's avatar

I don’t understand all the secrecy about McConnell, what is the purpose of keeping his health hidden, it’s not like they need the money and the Senate isn’t doing anything now so why?

Cliff's avatar

Al, pls explain the crime of which you wrote. I missed that. thx

Look at who did the winning. That’s not a theory of change. That’s the country, still here. Nine weeks out. We don’t have to invent hope. It’s already in the record. Now we add to it.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Yes! Every week we’re seeing that the country is standing up and fighting back. Let’s keep that momentum going! 💪

The courts work—a little slowly for us, but working in general. More from TX—word was going around Houston on Thursday that the big fundraiser for Paxton had to downsize the venue, due to low table sales. Paxton’s Pity Party? Hope he and Criminal-in-Chief had a good (quiet) visit. 😂

Scott Dworkin's avatar

It’s always great to hear on-the-ground news from Texas, Susan! A downsized venue tells you everything you need to know about where their support really is.

Mike Hammer's avatar

Thank you, Scott. We’re winning while they’re whining. Let’s give them hell!

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thank you, Mike! "Winning while they're whining" is the perfect way to describe it. Let’s keep giving them hell! 🔥

They can lie about the score. They can’t un-release a story. Hold on to that truth. Then go be useful with it! Keep pushing!

Scott Dworkin's avatar

That is exactly right. They can spin it all they want, but they can't change the facts on the ground. Keep pushing!

Linda Neibel's avatar

My day is a little brighter this morning! Thanks.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

So glad to hear that, Linda! Thank you for reading and being here!

“just don’t go.” The perfect response to Republicans who want to stick their noses into what you believe, what you read, who you have sex with, how you treat your neighbors and friends if their skin color isn't white. I'm glad one can rely on most judges, even if appointed by Reagan.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

"Just don't go" really sums it up perfectly. It's heartening to see the courts uphold those boundaries!

HI2thDoc's avatar

What a concept, huh? As you said, the "party of less government" wants control of our most personal decisions, which do not impact anyone else. Freedumb!

Scott Dworkin's avatar

The hypocrisy is definitely glaring! It’s all about control. Thanks for speaking up!

On the surface it looks really weird, right? But under the surface, well, the billionaires, mega-multimillionaires and huge corporations and conglomerates have the $$$, but they don't have enough votes to elect the mayor of a mid-size city. To get those votes, they've enlisted those freaked out by civil rights, women's rights, and gay/lesbian rights and those convinced that the U.S. should be a (Protestant) Christian nation. Needless to say, these constituencies overlap, and unfortunately there's no shortage of them -- though I want to believe that some of them are having second thoughts and/or paying more attention to the fine print.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Too many Americans are absolutely ignorant of how the early settlers and definitely the Founders yearned for religious freedom in the new nation. Now they want us to be a theocracy, which is antithetical to that ideal.

Miriyam Glazer's avatar

Oh what a relief to read this. I feel as if I can breathe again!

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thank you, Miriyam. It can feel heavy out there, but these wins are real, and they are worth celebrating!

Now Trump supporters everywhere in America are learning a painful lesson, that everyone else knew all along - "Everything Trump Touches Dies" and Trump eventually comes for everyone and expects payment as in MONEY (Our Money) for himself every time. Oh and STILL NO Prosecutions of Sex Traffickers and Pedophiles in the Epstein Files - NOT ONE!!! Todd Blanche and the Corrupt DOJ Continue Their Cover Up of the Epstein Files - and have turned their backs on ANY law enforcement unless it involves attacking and "enforcing" laws against the "enemies" of Trump - that is ALL they do. Go to the polls no matter what and send a message - Trump and his Corruption are going to be crushed in the upcoming elections and THEN hold every damn one of them accountable for their crimes against America. And send them ALL to the "Donald Trump/Natalie Harp" (named in his "honor") Prison for Corrupt Politicians - with UNPAID public service to Americans in every county in every state as part of their accountability.......

Scott Dworkin's avatar

You said it perfectly, Murray. The grift is exhausting, but it's clearly catching up to them. A massive turnout at the ballot box is the ultimate remedy!

Barbara Pflughaupt's avatar

I believe the lower courts are definitely defending the constitution. Scotus needs reformation

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Agreed, Barbara. The lower courts are providing a crucial defense, but the need for Supreme Court reform is undeniable.

Julie Lawson's avatar

Really encouraged by most legal decisions. If our courts hold the line, once we have the house we can start undoing the damage and hold the corrupt government accountable.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

That’s the plan, Julie! If the courts hold the line, we can focus on winning back the House and getting to work.

Joyce Mason's avatar

SHINE on!!

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Keep shining!

Joan Makurat's avatar

These lower court rulings are helping to temper the craziness of this administration, but the RWNJs in power will file for the SCROTUS to review and some may be overturned. But we can take whatever wins we can.

Theodora's avatar

⚖️ These wins encourage us to keep up the pressure because pressure bursts pipes 🚰! Vote early; remind family and friends to vote! 🗳️

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Pressure bursts pipes! 🚰 That's the exact energy we need. Vote early and get everyone you know to the polls!

Kirk Parce's avatar

I believe Trump and his regime are going to continue to lose most court losses. The GOP are toast come the midterms.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

The courts are definitely showing that the facts still matter. Let's make sure that translates to the midterms!

Joan Makurat's avatar

IF we get to have midterms.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

We will, he can't stop them.

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

Why do people post comments like this with no evidence whatsoever? It happens often enough that I wonder.
