Mikie Sherrill wasted no time coming in and kicking MAGA butts. I love it. Happy Sunday everyone. Thanks for another awesome week here on substack together.
Marc Elias said the midterms will be a battle of the courts and from the looks of it, Scott we’re winning and they’re whining. Today we might also see Viktor Orban removed from power in the Hungarian special elections now. The turnout is massive!
I hoped for lots of snow for Colorado . My bestie in the springs said it was not getting better, similar to the year Black Forest Fire. Hope it pours rain & spring snows .
Thank goodness for positive news and for women in power and judges standing up for the rule of law. 🙌 I look forward to Scott’s posts, like and restack everyone! ❤️
All polls show that Orban should lose, I hope he does because the world can see what Trump is doing to this country.
Bipartisan resistance is great but I’m a cynic these days because the MAGAs haven’t given up on trumpy. I’m afraid it’s just a case of “Not in my backyard” mentality and not humanity.
Most tRump supporters are not aware of what is actually happening. They watch the networks that favor tRump. My sister is a tRumper and we often get in a political discussion. She is adamant about any truths concerning him.
I think you mean she is adamantly against believing any truths about him because they are not announced on her news sources. That is why people and I know are who favor him and watch stations and sites that support him. They are mostly filled with lies and believe those.
My most fervent hope is that this bipartisan resistance will become bipartisan cooperation in Congress, Scott! It is the way our government is supposed to work! Before that orange buffoon descended that escalator our Republicans and Democrats in Congress worked through bipartisanship to enact legislation that was beneficial to all Americans. His divisive and nasty rhetoric was done to divide the two parties and cause hate and chaos. He wanted his cult to be the 'only' ones to receive anything and when that did not work, he continued to sew mistrust between the two parties. I don't know whether they will ever come back together. I hope with all of my heart that Orban will lose and Hungary can move to a more Democratic country. If Orban loses, I would hope that it would give the orange stain pause, but I feel he will just scream the elections over there were rigged, too! Keep fighting, America! Stay strong and stay safe!
“Republicans and Democrats in Congress worked through bipartisanship to enact legislation that was beneficial to all Americans.” Not exactly
1. McConnell stole a Supreme Court pick from a president b/c he was from the other party.
2. Rs refused to support healthcare even for their own people b/c the law would be signed by a president from the other party.
3. Rs refused to support an infrastructure bill that would help their own areas, b/c the law would be signed by a president from the other party. Then took photo opps by bridges when the $ poured in, as if they had anything to do with it.
4. Rs refused to support stimulus funds during Covid b/c a Democratic Speaker of the House led the way. Then T signed the checks like it was his idea.
5. Most egregious of all, McConnell and Rs turned a blind eye and in the end basically supported a government coup on Jan 6.
So when exactly did “Republicans and Democrats in Congress work through bipartisanship to enact legislation that was beneficial to all Americans” happen?
Orban got the kiss of death with Jaded Vance showing up to support him. Hope that he does lose! The rule of law is like gravity: it's the law! No matter how many times they try, the MAGAt's fail.
New Jerseyans stand behind and for our immigrants. They are what makes us a community that thrives. The Immigrant Trust Directive has been codified into law. The bottom line is that no one is legally arrested without a judicial warrant. No more masked ICE roaming the streets, terrorizing and kidnapping people because they feel like it. Time to start arresting ICE agents and defunding it.

I’m so glad she is our governor, she is keeping her promises!

I like that, Mike! - you should make a tee and/or a bumper sticker! “We’re winning. They’re whining.”
Great comment overall!
It’s a rainy, dreary morning, here—but this post is a blast of warm sunlight! Now I’m ready to resist. Thanks Scott. Let’s go get it!
(Send your rain to Colorado! We’re dry as a bone and a summer of wildfires and smoke-filled days is on its way. 😢. I hate climate change.)
BUT: that aside, I’m always rarin’ to resist! Yes, let’s go!
New Mexico too
I hoped for lots of snow for Colorado . My bestie in the springs said it was not getting better, similar to the year Black Forest Fire. Hope it pours rain & spring snows .
I read that the NWS stated this: The weather that we've had for most of the last year will be our new normal!
Oh how I miss Colorado…
😢
I certainly hope that Orban loses BIG! That may be kick in the a** for our would be dictator as well.
Thank goodness for positive news and for women in power and judges standing up for the rule of law. 🙌 I look forward to Scott’s posts, like and restack everyone! ❤️

I am with you on that opinion, Patti
Agree
If Orban wins, I’ll puke. That’s not an erudite political statement, but it’s 8:30 Sunday morning here. My brain is still reaching for the coffee.
lmao same!!!
Me too
I also hope to see Orban lose bigly, but I worry that their regime will falsely declare him the winner. I really hope that doesn’t happen.
I wish maga would (could?) see how bad he has been for his country and apply what is happening here to what happened to Hungary’s citizens.
Most tRump supporters are not aware of what is actually happening. They watch the networks that favor tRump. My sister is a tRumper and we often get in a political discussion. She is adamant about any truths concerning him.

Orban must loose,
Regardless of your politics, the only way forward is For. The. People.
If Orban loses, it’s a signal that the people make a difference. Trump should be worried about momentum against fascists.
Thank you for reporting all the positive results of the Resistance Rising movement!

Such good news to start the week, thanks, Scott!

I agree with you, Linda but I haven't heard any news about Ice agents changing their tactics.
i don't have any statistics on that, so I can't disagree with you. The impetus is with us; now we have to enforce it.
I hope Orban loses bigly!
Good on Mikkie Sherrill!
I agree with Patti Scott, it's just a not in my backyard.
