I deeply regret buying this TV stand before it went on sale.

Update: Now >20 R states. Voting Rights are on the line & corrupt red🩸states join GA to challenge the state’s new congressional map enacted following the release of 2020 census data.:

"14 states (AL/FL/IN/IA/KS/LA/MS/MT/NE/ND/SC/TX/UT/WV) join GA's argument to cripple Sect. 2 of the VRA by prohibiting private litigants from bringing enforcement cases.

This is a real & immediate danger to voting rights for millions of minority voters."

#POTUS #Biden Says ‘#Putin Is Responsible’ for #Navalny’s Death

Biden said that there was “no doubt” that Putin’s govt was behind the death of #AlexeiNavalny.

“Make no mistake: Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death,” Biden said at a WH news conference, while acknowledging that the #UnitedStates still did not know details of what happened. “What has happened to Navalny is even more proof of Putin’s brutality. No one should be fooled.”

KOSA would still let government decide what information can be shared online, would still require websites, apps and platforms to filter and block legal speech, and probably would still result in age verification requirements, EFF’s @jgkelley told @verge https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/15/24073878/kids-online-safety-act-new-senate-support

RIP, the immortal Alexei Navalny.

Because the cruelty is the point. Republicans love children until that first breath outside the womb, then they couldn't care less.

#HouseGOP:

- No border/asylum reform. Leave it a mess, blame everyone else
- No help for Ukraine. Keep adoring Putin
- No gun reform. More children shot, this time at a SB parade
- No budget. Government shutdown again in a few weeks
- No credibility. Key witness in Hunter case was lying

Then after all this they leave for vacation for 2 weeks

Just say no to #GOP incompetence this November

#Trump is talking about endorsing #LaraTrump for #RNC co-chair.

I'm going to be blunt: anyone claiming that Israel's defensive war in Gaza constitutes "genocide" is spouting nonsense.

This article explains why: https://www.newsweek.com/memo-experts-stop-comparing-israels-war-gaza-anything-it-has-no-precedent-opinion-1868891

As I quipped once, it's unfortunate that blocking someone doesn't erase them from the planet.

@TruthSandwich @rameshgupta @AlliFlowers @thepoliticalcat @maggiemartin what I need is a button to slap the shit out of someone through the internet

The top Democrat on the #House Oversight Cmte, Rep #JamieRaskin of MD, called for an end to the #Biden #impeachment inquiry.

Raskin said the allegations from the #Republicans against Biden “have always been a tissue of lies built on #ConspiracyTheories.” He called on Speaker #MikeJohnson, #JamesComer & #HouseRepublicans “to stop promoting this nonsense & end their doomed impeachment inquiry.”
