play stupid games win stupid prizes, i guess. a real opportunity to end the gerrymandering wars with federal legislation under the next dem president though.
when you evolve Dummymander into its highest level it becomes Dummizard

Just name every piece of legislation "The Golden Ballroom Upgrade Sir" or some shit
Right now there's a 79 percent chance that Dem Congress can get Trump to sign anything they want if they tell him it will make people love him again.

They'll do all the bills, he can sign them and fuck off to redesigning DC.

You have to make sure it's a fake DC though, like his old fake Oval.

@governor.pa.gov promising legislation to fund PA's transit agencies!
November 4, 2026 at 9:42 PM
they're talking about the House and Lawrence O'Donnell just said "this means that any piece of Donald Trump legislation is dead. there will never be another piece of Donald Trump legislation" and that really made me Feel Some Stuff

Grateful that the Washington anti-trans thing is just ordinary legislation obviously, because that means we all get to enjoy seeing it swiftly struck down by the state courts, but!!

My god should "ordinary legislation by plebiscite" ever not be a thing
Stop letting people vote directly on legislation based on deceptively worded descriptions lmao stop offloading responsibility

BREAKING: Democrats just BROKE the GOP’s supermajority in the Kansas House!

That means Republicans will no longer have unchecked power to pass anti-abortion, anti-equality legislation.

While people are understandably focused on the national level, the wave is going to reshape state legislatures, Governor's offices, AGs etc.
Not much legislation from DC in the next 2 years, but the action will be at the state level.

Maybe ALL GIRLS should BOYCOTT ALL GIRLS SPORTS until this heinous legislation is undone.

A YIMBY mayor in Los Angeles makes it MUCH easier to pass pro-housing legislation in Sacramento.
Hard to articulate how much of a political earthquake it is for Los Angeles to get a YIMBY mayor

Brett Meiselas on how a Democratic congress could confront Trump:

If Trump wants to be "Mr. Veto," let him own it.

Pass legislation on healthcare, housing, education, and affordability, then put Trump in a position to veto it.

"Legislation improving people’s lives is central to Democrats making the case that they can govern, but oversight and investigations are ways to craft that legislation, to show how the Trump administration is failing, and to stop bad acts while Trump remains in office."
NEW: Six takeaways for the law from Tuesday’s blue tsunami election.

From Trump to local officials across the nation, Tuesday brought a seismic shift in the landscape for the law and how we all interact with it.

Deleted my post about _legislative_ priorities because people don't understand I was specifically only talking about legislation.

Investigate and subpoena them all. **Legislate on affordability.

nobody wants to hear it but the only real “blue no matter who” types are progressives

the defectors are always, always, the “centrists” and this is true when it comes to passing legislation too
gotta say, the contrast between Haley Stevens’ unhinged crashout and Francesca Hong being a no-drama good sport and supporting Dems up and down the ballot is crazy

wow, it looks a lot like running half your platform on anti-trans legislation is a losing gambit
November 4, 2026 at 4:54 AM
Too long, Democratic politicians in Washington have had the mentality that there is no point to pass legislation that won't become law...

The old world is dead... pass legislation after legislation after legislation and force the president to say no to show how important 2028 will be

The best thing about having at least 54 senators is that we're not going to see John Fetterman on our TVs every day as he holds legislation hostage.

Think about the legislation.
Good morning, Mississippi.

People also massively overestimate the number of times he has actually vetoed legislation.

Tasmania's House of Assembly has passed legislation to ban LGBTQ+ 'conversion practices', which seek to change or suppress a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. The proposed legislation would establish criminal penalties for those conducting 'conversion practices' #NOH8

LOOK. Picking up sooo many Democratic AG offices is going to make it so much easier to pass Democratic legislation both federally and in a state, and so much harder for the Trump administration to sneak shit in.
like... half of the terrible lawsuits in this country originate out of the texas AG office and go through handpicked texas judges

what do you mean that's run by a democrat now

Mamdani taught Democrats what to do when they win.

Not keep trying to make the right happy. Not pass watered down legislation to appeal to "everyone." Not give in to moneyed interests.

Do stuff that helps people. Quickly.

Well, well, well. CM Saka is attending Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson's press conference on her veto of the RV permitting program legislation. CM Saka was one of the six original votes in favor of this legislation, but his presence suggests he might have reconsidered.

My proposed agenda for Congress:
-Impeach Hegseth and Blanche
-Fight corruption with investigations and legislation
-Legislation to limit and defund ICE
-Legislation to limit tariff powers
-Use War Powers Act to stop war in Iran
-Legislation to restore Medicaid
Am I missing anything big?
