ANGIE CRAIG: I don't think you understand the difference between error rates and fraud rates. I honestly don't. SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates of any program BROOKE ROLLINS: You can't be serious when you say that CRAIG: Your own data says that

💥 TEXAS UNION WIN: Union leader Adrian Reyna is heading to the general election for HD 125 in San Antonio! As a San Antonio Alliance member, he’s ready to fight for workers on day one. Let’s GO! #UnionStrong #txlege

“In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like ‘modernization’ and ‘restructuring’ to explain away my departure. Don’t be misled.”

Donald Trump told Texas Republicans to turn back a four-term incumbent senator and to vote for a man who is basically a walking Thomas Nast illustration of corruption and the cult members said, yes sir, right away, sir.

the ceos of these companies should be fired for being terrible at their jobs

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person.

“HANDS OFF MEMPHIS!” Protestors & Democratic legislators leave the scene of the crime arm in arm, after Tennessee Republicans broke the law to strip Memphis of representation with a racist 9-0 map, drowning out the majority Black city with white power. @GovBillLee

He’s only 81? He looks like Nosferatu’s older brother. 🧛‍♂️

1. Flip the Senate this year 2. Block all GOP SCOTUS nominations 3. Hold the Senate and elect a Dem POTUS in 2028 4. Kill the filibuster 5. Pass HR1 6. Pass 18 year term limits on SCOTUS 7. Fill the 5 new vacancies with liberal justices 8. Have nice things

Anyone who wants to end birthright citizenship wants to bring back slavery. Those same people also claim non-citizens have no rights—not the right to protest against deportation, nor the right to not have police break down their doors, nor the right to defend themselves in a proceeding.

Tomorrow GEORGIA VOTE @shawnforcongress.bsky.social Are you in GEORGIA #GA14 Do you know someone there...call them VOTER TURNOUT is KEY VOTE SHAWN HARRIS Go to Iwillvote.com georgia.gov

The irony is not lost on us.

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

The Democratic Circular Firing Squads really came early this cycle!

My timeline is half leftists complaining about Gavin Newsom and half liberals complaining about Graham Platner and I'd like to propose that we launch both of them into the sun together.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

No lies detected from @ossoff.senate.gov here 👇🏽 (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee. In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime. www.cbsnews.com/news/justice...

Any DoJ attorney who participates in this investigation should suffer professional and social shunning that makes it effectively impossible to continue to work as an attorney.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES Dept. of Justice lawsuit seeking unreacted statewide voter registration list. A big victory for our clients -- the NAACP, NAACP-CA/HI and SIREN --and the citizens of California. www.democracydocket.com/cases/califo...

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

The Supreme Court rejected the federal government’s request to deploy the National Guard in Illinois. It’s time to let our troops go home to celebrate the holidays with their families — and stay home.

Just thinking that we would be living in a different world if Biden had selected Sally Q. Yates to be the Attorney General.

"The swift degradation of CBS's reputation under Weiss’ leadership is just one more proof point that the American media is being commandeered by an aggressive and coordinated conservative movement that is moving as quickly as possible to usurp control and rewrite history in deference to Trump."

Texas National Guard’s deployment in Illinois blocked by U.S. Supreme Court.

Kash lied to congress.

How it started vs How it’s going (vibe coding edition)

How does anybody take a knee at the two yard line on a kickoff return? Did he think he was in the end zone?

@espn.com For ESPN+ customers, what is the point of forcing us to wait through non-existent commercial breaks? Trying to watch and catch up on a game and every time I try to fast forward on Hulu I get to sit and watch a "Commercial Break" screen with no commercials. Why?

RIGHT ON 👊🏽 I voted YES on 50 (a temporary measure to level the playing field) and my ballot was already counted. Join me— remember to vote, and tell your friends and neighbors to do the same. #VoteYesOnProp50

"I started running for this national seat and I went to a bunch of national reporters and every single one of them asked me about trans athletes. Literally none of them asked me about childcare, none of them asked me about health care, education."

I’m skeptical that a court can or will do this, but i think it has to be tried, because the GOP has descended to full lawlessness, and we don’t have any kind of government if the majority party can just refuse to recognize others.

“Speaker Johnson, can you name the planet upon which we all live?” “I’m afraid I’m not familiar with that particular celestial orb, so no, I cannot.” “…” “Of course, I’d be happy to talk about all the posts on Adelita Grijalva’s TikTok account.”

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Damn @carolleonnig.bsky.social with a barn burner of a scoop www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Speaking of things making themselves irrelevant and shrinking their audience, how are things at the Washington Post?

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
