Khanna: "This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877. One-third of African American seats are threatened. We are not speaking up strongly enough against a court that's rolling back civil rights"

All hail the fantastic fic writers! You’re the dreamer of dreams and you have saved the day. www.tellyvisions.org/good-omens-f...

This is ABC in Australia, but the point stands. X is trash for engagement for non-right-wing-suck-up accounts. Get the hell off for your own self-respect and for your bottom line.

The deleted records covered the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy cases, along with rioters who beat police officers with flagpoles, hockey sticks, and bear spray.

The DOJ’s website used to have hundreds of press releases documenting every arrest, conviction, and sentencing from January 6th. Those records are gone now. The Trump administration confirmed it removed the pages and called the documentation “partisan propaganda.”

This is the first day in a world without CBS News Radio, which had been broadcasting since 1927. Through eighteen presidential administrations, nine popes, five British monarchs, and numerous wars. Nearly 100 years of journalism, gone like that. Bari Weiss killed it.

If Donald Trump's tax returns can no longer be audited he no longer has that pretend reason not to release all of them.

The Trump administration is actively opposing global climate accountability while continuing to deny established climate science. We’re standing up against the pseudoscience and political attacks that hurt our health and future. Help fuel our fight for science here: zurl.co/fG6gr zurl.co/lmEeF

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

We found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

And lo and behold.

Thread. I fully and full-throatedly endorse this, I hope for obvious reasons.

Hello. The moment you gate educational videos behind a paywall, a massive wall of bureaucracy goes up. Teachers have to beg administrators for budgets, companies have to wine-and-dine school boards, millions of students get locked out, and people get forced into using material they don't like.

We found that Jeff Bezos paid zero taxes in 2007 and 2011. In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children. Revisit our 2021 story:

Tonight is the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. We’ll be watching. Thank you for everything, Colbert! 💚

Tobacco company Reynolds American donated $5 million to Trump’s super PAC. Then, an executive and two of their lobbyists had lunch with Trump. Days later, the FDA rolled out new guidance that would allow tobacco companies to start selling e-cigarettes. Everything is for sale.

NEW: An $11,000 golf cart. More than $7,000 on TV subscriptions. $1.5 million in office renovations. Those were among the expenses that one sheriff’s office billed to a settlement aimed at rooting out racial profiling in the department. With @azluminaria.org

At 11 a.m. ET, Trump is expected to announce rollbacks to EPA rules governing refrigerants. The chemicals used in AC and cooling systems that are hundreds to thousands of times more potent than CO2 as greenhouse gases.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just voted to require teachers to forcibly out transgender youth against their will. Censoring "gender ideology" does nothing to advance the basic promise that every child deserves the same opportunity to thrive, and that includes transgender students.

The times that a trans student has come out to me as a part of their self-discovery are sacred to me at a time when little else is. This is an abominable and unenforceable fascist tactic.

"They leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him." If revealing your official tax returns -- something every single president and VP for forty years before Trump did voluntarily -- could possibly "destroy" you, that is the scandal.

Republicans are set to dismantle at least five majority-Black districts in the South.

If it were fake news, you could have just let the IRS audit run its course and then we'd all see it was fake, but instead you rushed in like Leeroy Jenkins and demanded everything be shut down immediately? Sure, sure, that makes sense, sure.

Over the past three weeks, DOJ has significantly escalated its attack on gender-affirming care for trans minors. Here’s the story of what’s happened — and where things could be headed next. Read my in-depth report now at Law Dork and subscribe today:

This is good. He should keep trying to introduce the bill and perhaps the DNC can put its email lists to good use by alerting the public to this using plain language.

"Every time Sundar Pichai reconfigures Google products to further force generative AI on users he assumes are hopelessly locked in, he increases the risk they finally throw up their hands and go somewhere else. And that’s exactly what Google users should do."

Medicare to provide healthcare to seniors? "Socialism!" Social Security to return money seniors had paid in their paychecks? "Socialism!" SNAP payments to feed those without food? "Socialism!" A windfall of $1.8 Billion in taxpayer money to enrich domestic terrorists? "Justice, y'all!"

Another thing that gets missed is that between Nixon and Trump, every major party candidate released his tax returns when running for office *and* every sitting president and vice president had their taxes audited by the IRS with the results released. I wrote about this nearly a decade ago:

Not only does Trump's IRS settlement hand him a $1.8B slush fund. It also bans the agency from auditing Trump and his family, allowing him to avoid nearly $100M in penalties and get away with any future tax-dodging. He is the most corrupt president in American history.

NEW: Trump demanded the replacement of the Senate parliamentarian, who can determine whether certain bills can bypass filibuster thresholds, claiming she obstructed the passage of the SAVE America Act. Doing so would pave the way for the anti-voting measure to pass more easily through Congress.

Jeff Bezos today: “You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not gonna help that teacher in Queens. I promise you.” And this ⬇️ is why.

Rep. Analilia Mejia: "The erosion of voting rights is coupled with a rigged economy, because the way the prevent the rules from coming for them, the way they can keep the grift going, is ensuring we do not have a political voice to stop them. That's the game."

LOSS: A South Carolina judge denies a pro-voting request to halt the state House from fast-tracking Republicans' redistricting plan ahead of the primaries. The GOP effort is aimed at eliminating the state's lone majority-Black district.

And yet, no arrests for the rich, powerful men who used Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell as pimps to traffic underage boys and girls, men the DOJ is deliberately covering for. Is that because the DOJ reports to one of them? And does this mean Dr. Fauci will be entitled to Donald's slush fund?

South Carolina House passes new 7-0 gerrymandered map at 12:30 am eliminating lone majority-Black and Democratic seat. Democracy once again literally dying in darkness. If Clyburn loses his seat a state that is 1/4 Black will no have Black US House reps www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/u...

BREAKING: The South Carolina House votes 74-36 to pass a new gerrymander aimed at eliminating the state's only majority-Black district. The legislature also needs to approve a measure to push back the June 9 primary election, but the map will move to a Senate committee for an expected vote tonight.

The South Carolina House of Representatives advanced a new congressional gerrymander early Wednesday, paving the way for lawmakers to quickly redraw the state’s map to dismantle its lone majority-Black district days before early voting starts in the primary. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

First, a $1.8 billion slush fund. Now, Trump aims to weasel out of IRS audits “forever."

Louisiana has refused to reconsider the convictions of 1,000+ mostly Black men sentenced by split juries, despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2020 that such convictions are unconstitutional and based on an inherently racist law. (Published Sept. 2025)

"The Lady is the eternal rival of Fate. She is one of the few characters in the series who can upset Fate's powers over the board when they play games with the lives of people down on the Discworld." She loves to f*ck with the gods. And remember what Crowley said about God tipping over the board?

Mark Cuban stands behind Trump as Trump speaks on behalf of stealing from taxpayers. This is why you don't go to the White House to do events with Trump -- you end up disgracing yourself.

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

8/ When Landry weaponized a fresh SCOTUS ruling to halt congressional voting, he lit a fire. Voters connected the dots: the same machine gutting Black representation was pushing all five amendments. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

3/ The plan was to bury voters in chaos so five complex constitutional amendments could slip past on the same ballot. They were sold as routine administrative cleanup. In reality, they were a Trojan horse engineered to entrench wealth and conservative power for a generation.
