This was easy to predict. Kyrsten Sinema will not run for re-election.👋🏾
![]()
Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyThe good news is that Kyrsten Sinema will be gone soon. She has to get 40,000 signatures by April 1st to be on the ballot, but first, she has to file the paperwork, which she hasn't done yet. And even if she gets the signatures, she will lose by a lot.07:11 PM - Mar 03, 2024![Picture]()

The autocrats bent on ending democracy and reinserting Trump to fully destroy democratic institutions and pursue vengeance want us despairing and exhausted. That’s how they win. Don’t let them.

A sad day with the loss of Rosalynn Carter. Her active life as a humanitarian and her loving marriage provide an enduring model.

Ron DeSantis is getting a lot of criticism for wearing heel lifts in his boots, adding several inches to his height, ostensibly to avoid being emasculated, and I just want him and his team to know that I support the governor's right to gender-affirming practices.

We have the capacity to prevent gun violence and save lives. The greatest obstacle on the path to gun safety is the fanaticism of the far right, which opposes any and all gun regulation.

I’m rarely at a loss for words. But the Hamas atrocities—particularly the discovery of decapitated babies—leaves me struggling to measure its meaning. How can humans be that barbaric? How can their hatred run that deep? How has civilization failed us this profoundly?

These cartoon antics in Congress have caused so much disillusionment that generations of children are born thinking government is useless — and you can't blame them.

Sadly, I am hearing a lot of talk today about how shocked everyone is now that people are getting shot for making a mistake. I am not surprised. This is the result of years of lies from a lobby who said more guns would make us safer. We were conned. The truth is coming!!!

“The refusal to act is suicidal and perhaps the grimmest expression of our representative government’s failure to support the will of the majority, serve the common good—and respond to the heartbreak and lifelong trauma that survivors and victims’ families and friends must endure.”

Cheers, everyone. Working on the verification thing, so until then I can't prove this is me, unless you take Carla's word for it.
UPDATE: As you can see, it's me.

💡Analysis: Trump will continue to run despite being under indictment. Several other Republican candidates will enter the race, splitting the vote and giving Trump the nomination. As for DeSantis, the attention he's receiving is media hype and he is unlikely to emerge as a viable contender.

"We find by a unanimous vote that no widespread fraud took place in the GA 2020 presidential election that could result in overturning that election," the Georgia grand jury asserted.
Could that be louder or clearer? I think not, except as part of necessary indictments and prosecutions.

It’s turning out to be one of those weeks! Normally I’d be writing about DOJ’s declination on the Matt Gaetz prosecution. But tonight it only gets a couple of lines. Although it’s not the answer many people hoped for, I think the assessment of Dave Aronberg

Sometime this year, SCOTUS will rule on 2 cases that could further undermine voting rights in this country. To understand what is at stake and why you should be paying attention to the efforts of marceelias and Democracy Docket, here's a profile of him I wrote last year.

BIG NEWS: Tyre Nichols’ murder reminds us that police traffic stops can turn deadly. 400 unarmed drivers killed in 5 years.
I'm introducing the "Safer Traffic Stops Act" that would pay local governments to transfer traffic enforcement from armed police officers to cameras or civilians.
