One of Ken Paxton’s former defense attorneys just endorsed James Talarico. That should tell Texans everything they need to know.

When you criticize Trump’s inhumane treatment of immigrants in front of Republican family members or colleagues and they accuse you of “being intolerant of other political views” Remind them-it’s not their politics which you question It’s their acceptance-or worse, approval-of immoral governance

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was said to have pressured the SSA to enact the plan in early 2025.

this has been the longest week in a long time yes am i right i know i am and i can’t even place why exactly but oof if i am not exhauuuuusted

Some Trump officials are concerned the US inadvertently let Chinese firms legally buy servers with Nvidia's Blackwell chips

Now this is a concert. 🎵

Only 9% of Americans support naming government buildings after Trump. More people believe the Earth is flat. More people think the moon landing was faked. Trump’s vanity campaign for the Kennedy Center and federal buildings ranks below two of the most mocked conspiracy theories in America 😆

Here we go...

So much winning!!!

The Supreme Court is a fucking joke. Most of us saw all of this coming years ago. #VotingRights #Alabama #GOP

It’s absolutely crazy they can void an election with no consequences.

One down, more coming. Justice for Alex Pretti and Renee Goode!

🚨BREAKING: NJ state police tackle unarmed anti-ICE protesters while trying to enforce an ILLEGAL curfew on the press. "Hands up don't shoot!" protesters chant. Our Jon Farina & Will Allen-DuPraw report ⬇️

Interestingly, Spencer Pratt has an actual—not imagined—criminal record relating to a hit-and-run accident, but no mention of that from Fox. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Congrats to the GOP for forcing the entire country talk about @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s girlfriend, who it turns out is super hot 👍

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social 👀

Metaphorically speaking my country needs a fumigation and enema from the toxic medicore deleterious waste of skin irredeemable Epstein Class pay no taxes tech bro oligarchs and white supremacist thugs that masturbate on their guns, rape children, and celebrate Trump's for profit concentration camps.

There is not a grand jury in America that will indict E. Jean Carroll. We see you.

Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert: “I think Ken Paxton is the most corrupt Attorney General we've had in my lifetime.”

Super El Nino: If you think it’s hot now, time to brace for what is coming next

NEW: CNN reports that E. Jean Carroll is being criminally investigated by the DOJ, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter.

This is what happens when a toddler takes over the white house

Talarico: I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November.

A reporter asked about progress reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and Marco Rubio replied, "It would be pretty ambitious to be able to open the Straits at this meeting here." Imagine thinking that doing your actual job at a major global summit is just too ambitious for you. #momsky #sheshed

From the just released transcript of today’s closed door hearing in the Broadview case

The guest lineup for Colbert’s final episode is being kept completely secret. I don’t know how I’m going to hold it together… But let’s give him ratings of a lifetime 💔

taking tax dollars to pay insurrectionists. which (by the way) the 14th amendment is supposed to prohibit: "[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States...."

We've seen the largest attack on multiracial democracy in a generation as well as their assault on women, girls, LGBTQ community. Now we're seeing the assault on civil rights and voting rights. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. Each of us needs to step up and do our part.

Bill Cassidy, conceding defeat, throws shade at Donald Trump: “When you participate in democracy, sometimes it doesn’t turn out the way you want it to. But you don’t pout. You don’t whine. You don’t claim the election was stolen.” His crowd immediately gets the reference.

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.

Turns out renewable energy got cheap fast and some countries actually did act. So the absolute doomsday end of the projection range got updated. The new projections still show roughly 3 degrees Celsius of warming by 2100.

Every time you drink out of a straw you’re giving a tiny blowjob

ProPublica obtained 3,000 pages of emails sent last year by executives asking that their facilities be exempted from Clean Air Act requirements. The White House approved more than 180 requests and is considering more.

Funny how after every SCOTUS ruling striking down some protection from government abuse, the officials those protections restrained — cops, prosecutors, Republican state electeds — immediately start acting in the precise manner SCOTUS assured us they no longer do.

Alito’s argument that the VRA is semi-unconstitutional is an argument that it has become so over time. So: a ‘living constitution’ argument that takes (we can now say) ‘what has in fact happened won’t happen’ as a major premise. Without that it doesn’t fly. So his legal argument is provably wrong.

Markwayne is saying arrests at the World Cup are “not off the table” while saying the Gestapo won’t have a presence there out the other side of his face. DO NOT COME HERE IT IS NOT SAFE!!!!

Kristi Noem’s successor is removing all traces of her from the department.

The Epstein files were legally supposed to be released 146 days ago. If citizens ignored court orders and federal law for 146 days, they’d be in jail. When the government officials do it, nothing happens.

Today's anti-ICE action in Williston, Vermont

📌Trump this morning to a press gaggle on AF1: “I had a total military victory (in Iran).” In just six words he summed up perfectly what a dangerous totalitarian leader sounds like. This will barely get a mention in our press, which has normalized the extreme danger we are in.

Just...I need everyone to realize how far we have fallen. This is, like, the sixth thing Trump said in this presser that would have been career-ending for any politician of 20 years ago.

What are the chances that Donald Trump tries to sue the artist? Credits: @aaronparnas.bsky.social

An FBI agent visited the home of Milwaukee County's elections director earlier this week in an attempt to question her, the county clerk has said. It's the latest sign that the Trump admin is probing the results of the 2020 presidential race in Wisconsin.
