You can't defy court rulings and the Secretary of State, they just illegally elected a Speaker. Republicans just completed a coup in Minnesota.
ST. PAUL, Minn. β Minnesota House Republicans defy court ruling and Secretary of State, seizing control of the chamber and installing their own House speaker.

Still can't believe that:.- Trump getting shot.- the RNC.- Vance announced as VP.- Biden dropping out.- Harris entering race. ALL happened in an 8-day period. There really are weeks where decades happen.

@CokeLivesMatter Presidents typically smile in their portrait, the last one that didn't was LBJ, it is very very very odd to try and look so serious and mean in the portrait.

Why tf would the suburbs revert *now* for *him* after *everything*. I just don't understand it. He did January 6 and got charged with like a trillion crimes and the suburbs suddenly decided "hey maybe he's not so bad".

God I love old libs, the idea of somebody growing up under FDR and Truman, working for the reform brought about by JFK and LBJ and still fighting today alongside Obama, Biden etc. is so great.
πΊ Grab your tissues. A few months back, I shared a TikTok of a woman heartbroken over the news that Joe Biden was dropping out of the presidential race. Today, her family posted a video of her receiving an emotional call from the president himself. What a kind and thoughtful

Why is it so much easier for Republicans to get massive insane swings of 40+ points in some places but it's a super heavy lift for Democrats to match that with a massive swing of that magnitude in their direction really anywhere?.

Oh they're gonna go after red states in 2026 aren't they? Beshear is a big indicator of that I think. Expect them to target FL, IA, OH, TX and AK, and make a real play at holding onto KS.
The Democratic Governors Association elected Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly as its 2025 chair and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear as its vice chair/2026 chair elect at the DGAβs annual winter meeting today in Los Angeles.
