D.C. statehood all comes down to this

ADD YOUR NAME >> John, did you see this Washington Post opinion piece? it makes a crucial argument: that D.C. Statehood isn’t just a D.C. issue. It’s a voting rights issue.   The nation’s 51st state would come with two new Senators, who could turn the tide of vital leg…

Ari Berman on Twitter: “Georgia legislature passes gerrymandered state senate map”

John, Ari Berman has the latest gerrymandering scoop – and the extreme partisans are up to no good!   The GOP is doing everything in its power to rig the maps in swing states and dilute the voices of voters of color across the country. We can’t let them get away with it! Fe…

Did you get a chance to sign Biden’s birthday card?

John, Joe Biden’s birthday is today – will you join DASS in wishing him a happy birthday? An overwhelming majority of the country voted for President Biden. But he has also been the first in history to face an attack on the Capitol trying to stop his presidency. In this dan…

Kristina Karamo’s lies 🙄

Have you seen this report from CNN News? Kristina Karamo, Trump’s pick for Michigan Secretary of State, still claims the January 6th Insurrection was “completely Antifa”.   It doesn’t matter how many QAnon believers the FBI locks away. It doesn’t matter how much video eviden…

Georgia SOS won’t vote against Trump despite death threats??

John, we’re absolutely speechless. Last year Donald Trump incited death threats and harassment against Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger just for doing his job. But on Mehdi Hasan’s show, Brad refused to say if he’ll vote against Trump in 2024! It’s clear: Loyalt…
