Why do I get the feeling Chuck's going to fumble this too?

BREAKING: A federal court blocked Texas from implementing its new congressional map that discriminates against voters of color for the 2026 midterm elections. This ruling reaffirms that voters get to choose our politicians, not the other way around.

Court ruled the TX gerrymander is illegal in part bc it was spurred by a letter from Trump's DOJ that demanded a redrawing for explicitly racial reasons. (First 2 images.) @mcpli.bsky.social had told Bolts of DOJ letter: "starts to look a lot like intentional racial discrimination." (3rd image)

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems. "Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map." Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Today the orange felon is hosting Saudi Arabia’s murderous crown prince MBS who is known for the brutal murder and dismemberment of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Anyone who voted for this evil depraved criminal piece of shit pedophile deserves to be shunned and shamed forever.

The establishment thinks the only way to win elections is by raising as much money as possible. But there’s another way, and that’s running on the people. We proved it on the Bernie campaign in 2016, we proved it when I was AOC’s campaign manager, and we’re proving it again now.

Everyone is downplaying that Mar-A-Lago is a vector in the Epstein pipeline so it’s good to point this out

If Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to prove her sincerity, she should sit for a deposition with House Judiciary Committee Democratic staff and testify as to her involvement in the January 6th Insurrection, including the meeting that took place at the Willard Hotel on the evening of January 5, 2021.

Rural Iowa needs representatives who will focus on policies that make it easier for physicians to stay and serve in our communities, not drive them away.

We need your help! But let me explain why:

–– MSNBC just changed its name to MS Now. What does MS stand for exactly? Oddly and senselessly, Microsoft.

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

The ACA is a Rube Goldberg contraption and a poor substitute for universal health care. But it has also improved the lives of millions of people because the status quo -- like what Trump proposes -- was so much worse.

The Ken Burns American Revolution doc is very good. This is a good time to tell you you can watch all episodes on the PBS website right now if you become a supporting member. Public TV and public radio need your support now more than ever.

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare

The political media's muted reaction to this story is an incredible "frog in boiling water" moment. Any person in any business or organization would be immediately fired for this. No questions, no process. Just out on your ass.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

I haven't seen everything this year, but one movie sparked genuine joy. But it has been a year of hits and misses.

Frankenstein

Bret Stephens, making the case for the United States invading Venezuela: "Why hasn’t Greta Thunberg set sail to Caracas with symbolic deliveries of food?" ...No one has ever made Bret Stephens look worse than Bret Stephens. The competition is only ever for second place.

The numbers tell the story.

You have, unfortunately, made Jameson objectively right about something he's mad about.

I'm in full agreement with IGN's 9 out of 10 review of Dispatch. I finished it last night & absolutely loved it. It is a true revival of the Telltale game (it's made by ex-Telltale devs). It's funny, well-written & the strategy game layer is surprisingly fun. Play it! www.ign.com/articles/dis...

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5. He’s been taken by ICE in Florida. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/16/s...

In 2028 I will vote for whoever will send Stephen Miller to The Hague.

For 8 months, Abbott denied Houstonians representation in Congress by delaying a special election date after Sylvester Turner's passing. His betrayal continues, now refusing to set a runoff date. Whether on rising healthcare premium costs or releasing the Epstein files, Texans deserve a voice.

Neckbeards asking "What is your IQ?" the way TFS's Broly asks "What is your power level?"

I don't know why we still call them ICE and treat them as a legitimate organization. They are an armed Militia and should be designated as a terrorist group. No other legal force in America wears masks and strips people of due process. They are a terrorist organization

Maybe I need to cut back. Maybe I need a vacation. Maybe I need to stop drinking. Maybe I need medication. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.

yes, whites in the north can also be racist. yes, the north has a long history of systematically exploiting its nonwhite residents. but none of this is enough to overcome the fact that "The South" — as a cultural object, a kind of shared imaginary — is defined by rebellion in support of slavery.

I understand why some white liberals from the Deep South want to insist that there isn't something distinct (and bad) about Southern political culture but the problem with this is that we wouldn't even have this idea of "The South" as distinct from the rest of the US if there wasn't a there there

At work hearing someone got an OWI in the middle of the day and damn, now I feel better about my life.

Same. It hits even harder because John Boyega was so pumped about the role and it killed me watching him get his heart broken after the first film. All to fit in shit about Kylo Ren that was more appropriate for fan fiction than a damned cinema released film. So much wasted time and potential.

Every time I think of how Star Wars messed up Finn's story I get mad. I am not a person who gets mad about Star Wars. This is an exception. SO MUCH WASTED POTENTIAL.

Right. Sexism is an obstacle, to be sure, but that is apart from the country’s preparedness to accept a woman leader. Otherwise why would women get elected anywhere? Why would there be any prominent, even famous/iconic women leaders? It’s a pat way to deflect from failures of agenda and messaging.

Especially since Hilary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. Without the electoral college she would have been president.

Whether a majority of the country would ever vote for a woman for president should not be considered answered after the loss of Kamala Harris. Even if Harris had been a generational political talent (she isn't), she was the VP of an unpopular president and had to start campaigning in late July.

that whole 'this country isn't ready for a woman president' line is really upsetting because it shows exactly how neoliberalism works, redirecting blame from issues of policy (or lack thereof) onto a flattened, vague type of sexism in a way that ultimately doesn't even challenge sexism!

Hope isn't an old penny, it's not something you find on the side of the street and save for later, hope is something you make for yourself. Hope is an action, a radical action. Hope isn't easy, it's hard, it's one of the hardest things you can do but you do it because it's hard.

people aren’t embarrassed enough because how dare you say this about a woman who harassed child survivors of mass shootings and spouted conspiracies about Jewish space lasers, among other bigoted drivel

We should reboot journalism completely. Start from scratch. They should get those old timey hats and a pencil and figure it out from there

with Marjorie Taylor Greene being kind of a whack job and magic the gathering rolling every IP it can into the game, it’s taking longer and longer to decipher which one posts about “MTG” are actually referencing lately

I'm trying to be a better person by not quote dunking on every post I see that I disagree with on here. Really trying to do the whole block-and-move-on thing. But damn is it hard sometimes. Especially in regards to people "criticizing" "leftists" when they clearly don't know what leftists are.

Germany to resume potential arms sales to Israel, lifting restrictions on Nov. 24. Citing a stable Gaza ceasefire, the move reopens a key supply line from Israel's second-biggest military provider. Israeli foreign minister welcomes the decision and urges other governments to follow.
