This administration needs to be fought in every single fight it picks.

MAGA Melts Down Over Obama Doing the President’s Job ‘LOCK HIM UP!’ “This should worry the U.S. a little,” one user commented www.thedailybeast.com/maga-melts-d...

192 people. Dead. We'll probably never know who they all really were.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries says House Democrats "are exploring all options to overturn this shocking decision."

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

Still waiting for the first hero to stand up and say something to Trump as he berates and personally attacks another female reporter who asked a legitimate question. It will probably never happen because some things are more important than decency and courage. I guess.

It's one thing to make a bad deal on deadline in the service of some larger policy goal. It's another thing entirely to shoot-and-shitpost your way to a summit, further mangling US credibility and interests, in the service of a photo op.

RepubliKKKans, Mostly White Powerful Men,Are Trying To Take Us Back To A Very Racially,Divided Time. We Are Regressing To A Pre- Civil Rights Era,Heading To A New Dark Age, And Trump Is Leading That Charge.......

Trump Iran fiasco worsening for GOP: *Leaked intel says Iran can handle US blockade for 3 months *Iran has more missiles left than previously thought *Trump aides fear closed strait killing Rs in midterms On the pod, @timothynoah.bsky.social is great on all this: newrepublic.com/article/2101...

i think democrats should make it clear that any company accepting these payouts will never receive another government contract

A pioneer of critical race theory recounts a lifetime of "talking back" against "ignorance and forced compliance"

What kind of politician is Josh Shapiro? His own emails tell the story. Will Bunch‬: I wrote about the emails Josh Shapiro didn't want you to see, exposing too-cozy ties between PA gov and Amazon, whose $20 bn plan for loud, energy-guzzling data centers across the state has sparked a citizen revolt

Divide US And CONQUER US,They Can Try,But Minneapolis and Portland Gave Us Guidelines To Use.......

Intel officials have been telling trump and the White House for a while now the amount of leverage Iran has for the longer haul, and trump et al just keep lying to the American public about it : zeteo.com/p/is-iran-tr...

A core statement of facts made by Samuel Alito in his decision overturning the VRA simply isn't true. He got the mistake from the DOJ. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Today, we published 61 transcripts and excerpts of testimony heard by the Fulton County special purpose grand jury. The transcripts include the never-before-seen testimony of prominent Trump allies, including Rudy Giuliani, Lindsey Graham, and Cleta Mitchell. bsky.app/profile/anna...

EXCLUSIVE: In 2022, a Georgia grand jury investigated Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020 election. It heard from more than 60 witnesses. For years, the full record of what those witnesses said under oath has remained hidden from public view. Until now. www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-ser...

ICYMI Statement from the great state senator of Virginia on the raid by trump's Federal Bureau of Corruption (FBI) THEY CANNOT INTIMIDATE THIS GREAT WOMAN with years of fighting for the people of Virginia

These deaths are on him as well as the parents he has misled.

A Harvard study just published estimates Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has already caused 600,000 deaths 2/3 of them children. That is his legacy in this world.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tel everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

How Democrats Win in November No matter how you dice it, it’s not by being Diet MAGA.

Trump steps up his war on windmills. Trump has brought US onshore wind development to a halt citing national security concerns, representing a major escalation in Trump’s crusade against renewable energy. Approvals for about 165 onshore wind projects on private lands are being stalled by the DOD.

In Ohio, regular gas averaged $4.83 a gallon Friday, up from $3.91 a week earlier and $2.81 before the Iran war. Voting has consequences for

This level of self-enrichment is why Trump fired the ethics watchdogs responsible for overseeing and investigating conflicts of interest and corruption in the executive branch.

I’m continually reminded that the only reason this guy got fired as far as I can tell is that after Alex Pretti’s death, he said there should be an investigation, contradicting Stephen Miller’s immediate claims that Pretti was a terrorist.

In a world full of Scott Jenningses, be an Adam Mockler.

Trump sent a mob to massacre Congress on 1/6/21 and Tom Emmer voted to let him get away with it. Seems pretty uncivil!

Nothing surprising about the CNN conclusions here: it's exactly what one expects. What is surprising is the official reporting of the Pentagon gives you no sense of the extent of the damage. And that's because Pete Hegseth has overturned the DoD's posture on accurate and timely reporting of losses

One of them is literally a Jan 6er. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Our country’s national debt now exceeds 100% of our GDP. We’re told there’s “no money for food assistance, no money for our vets, no money for the environment, for healthcare, for education, for science or medical research.” But somehow, some-fucking-how, we have $400M for a goddamn ballroom?

The first public comments from Sharyn Alfonsi about the CECOT story shelving: “It wasn’t an isolated editorial argument. In my view, it was the result of a more aggressive contagion: the spread of corporate meddling and editorial fear. It’s hard to watch.” www.theguardian.com/media/2026/a...

5 out of the 6 Supreme Court Justices who gutted the Voting Rights Act were nominated by a president who came into office having lost the popular vote. 70% of Americans support the John Lewis VRA. The Supreme Court is historically unpopular. It is not a democratically legitimate institution.

"The actual king has never looked better than in contrast to the American pretender to a throne." @monacharen.bsky.social on a king and a wannabe king:

It's simple: liberals will give you the freedom to be conservative, but conservatives will not give you the freedom to be liberal.

The anti-abortion faction *knew* that their only chance to overturn Roe v Wade was by getting favorable justices on the Supreme Court. On the Dem side, enough saw Roe as “settled law” that they either didn’t see the threat posed by a Trump victory in 2016 or didn’t want to acknowledge that threat.

The worst part is that scotus will remain conservative for at least a generation. Trump will replace Alito, Roberts, or Thomas with someone younger. They will spend decades overturning any progressive law Congress passes.

This used to be someone's apartment in Odesa, then it was hit by a direct Russian drone strike. Olena, who used to live there, now has no home. The number of people injured by this Russian attack on Odesa has grown to 20. 📹: Radio Liberty

its resegregation, jamelle bouie has been saying it since day one and its how this era is going to be remembered

I wrote about whether the Supreme Court's radicalization and anti-constitutionalism has created an effective counter to normal political swings, and what - if anything - can be done about it. badfaithtimes.com/has-scotus-m...

Crucial point from @barbmcquade.bsky.social: Todd Blanche and other DOJ lawyers could be subject to accountability later for bringing corrupt prosecutions on Trump's behalf. On the pod, McQuade explains what this should look like and rips apart the Comey prosecution: newrepublic.com/article/2097...

Infeasible things become feasible all the time. Repealing the Voting Rights Act wasn't feasible until it was. People who really wanted it repealed tried until they did it. We can change things, too. Negate the corrupted insurrectionist members of the SCOTUS. www.the-reframe.com/the-unmovabl...

Well we got our work cut out for us because almost no members of congress actually think this. The Senate's Supreme Court expansion bill (which had 3 senators onboard) was not even re-introduced this Congress.

"The Republicans in Congress have surrendered their self-respect and independent judgment to the man who would be king. They are far more subservient to Trump than any member of Parliament is to Charles." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Once again: If we are to beat the Republican fascist movement, we all must view the Supreme Court as it is presently constituted to be completely illegitimate and all of its findings similarly illegitimate, and we should expect our elected leaders to hold the same view.

Can we just have the government employees we are paying work on stuff that helps average Americans instead of working on stuff to aggrandize Trump?

The Trump administration sees administrative burdens as a way to shrink the safety net. He is also overwhelming state govts with burdens and preventing them from using tools to manage these hassles like automatic renewal.
