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.

Six seven

Has he considered not being a raging drunk and flying all around the country to party? Seems like a better bet than trying to plug 1,000 leaks

A state that redraws its legislative maps before every election to maximize advantage for the incumbent party is not a democracy or a republic and in any case obviously violates the guarantee clause, among many others. No country does this. No country ever thought of doing this. It is a total farce.

The nominal strategic purpose of the U.S. Navy is to ensure global freedom of navigation to guarantee stable global trade. It has not only not done that, the United States instigated the conflict which undid it. This is known in foreign policy analysis as a “whoopsie doodles.”

This has to be the funniest question AND response I've ever seen in a poll. Less than half of Republican men think they could beat Trump in a fight. What a bunch of pathetic losers.

Joe Biden didn’t use Funny Words. Kamala Harris didn’t use Funny Words. Tim Walz didn’t use Funny Words. The Democrats don’t have a Funny Words problem. Trump & Vance & the entire far right authoritarian party call people vermin & use Funny Words every day. Stop spreading this BS. It’s an ugly lie.

BREAKING: André Carson has won the Democratic nomination for Indiana's 7th District. He faced three challengers. mirrorindy.org/indiana-elec...

In December, SCOTUS stayed a district court ruling blocking TX from using its new maps because the lower court ruled "on the eve of an election." That district court ruling was issued 15 weeks before the TX primaries. Callais was issued *17 days* before the LA primaries.

The Court is laying bare the fact that it is operating as nothing less than a wing of the Republican Party. It cannot survive its own perfidious conduct; it must be radically restructured in order for the People - the only sovereign contemplated by the Constitution - to vindicate their authority

In Alaska, we have the U.S. Senate race rated as Tossup. Democratic former Congresswoman Mary Peltola has a 54.3% chance of defeating Republican incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan. Our projected margin is D +0.7, a 🔴 to 🔵 flip.

I see this, and see Callais and two things become very clear: 1) all of these states need apportionment reduced or removed via section 2 of the 14th. They have needed this for years, decades even. 2) the court packing and scotus reforms should be referred to using VRA and Civil Rights language.

Trump approval poll (Pew Research) Approve 34% (-3) Disapprove 64% (+3) (% shift since last Jan 2026) www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

At the worst possible time as farmers look to plant their crops, diesel prices have soared in ag states- it'll show up at your grocery store. Big weekly jumps: MI +75c/gal IN +60c/gal CO +53c/gal OH +52c/gal IL +42c/gal WI +38c/gal SD +31c/gal IA +30c/gal MT +30c/gal MO +29c/gal

I mean ... Heller, Citizens United, Shelby County, Burwell, Trump v. Hawaii, Brnovich, Dobbs, Trump v US, Callais ... That's a steady stream of radical rulings from a guy who pretended he had no agenda and promised he'd only call balls and strikes. He's a partisan hack, pure and simple.

⚠️ ALERT: #GasPrices are highly likely to spike soon in MI, IN, IL, WI and OH, wholesale gas prices have already surged and retailers have not yet passed the increase on. Prices are likely to jump 50-80c/gal in this area very soon. Refinery issues and rising oil prices to blame.

it’s simple. Dems need to 1. prepare retaliatory gerrymanders in every blue state now that the VRA has been overturned 2. pack the court (and prosecute Thomas/alito) in 2029 I will only even *consider* primary candidates who support both of the above going forward

It drives me insane that data centers are these huge localized noise pollution vectors and many opponents have settled on "it's also making inaudible ultra low frequency noises that are causing health problems" - a fake and made up thing - as the complaint.

This is what a 35% approval rating looks like at the geographic and demographic level www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-24...

most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators

thanks again joe manchin!

My 15mo son, who normally hates baths, thinks it’s hilarious to throw wet bath toys at me. And you know what? He’s right

JUST IN: Viktor Orban conceded his defeat in Hungary. The far-right leader & Trump ally will no longer be prime minister. What remains to be seen is the size of his defeat — and whether the opposition wins a supermajority to amend the constitution and reverse Orban’s rule.

jd vance negotiating with Iran

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

it has never been more over.

A Republican president losing men on immigration lmao

Looks like I get to play a fun game of “Food Poisoning or Caught My Son’s Stomach Bug?”

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Republicans: "I was just foolin'." Democrats: "I wasn't."

Trump's tariffs are the single largest tax hike in the postwar and it was done unilaterally without consent of Congress. Its actually outrageous when you think about it, and conservatives and Republicans just like accept it because yadda yadda daddy Trump. Unreal.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

The anniversary of Liberation Day is fast approaching. And we're still promising trade deals in a "couple of weeks."

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Final results in the Louisiana #HD60 (Trump+13) special election: Chasity Martinez (D)- 62% Brad Daigle (R)- 38% Martinez holds this Trump+13 seat for the Democrats and puts in a nearly 40 point overperformance from 2024 in the process

When he's dead Evangelicals will go back to pretending they cared about the morality of politicians and I'm telling you it will be the most shameless shit you've ever seen

Schumer & Jeffries lay out the Democratic demands for a DHS funding deal in a letter to the top Republican leaders

This is good and achievable. Let’s get it done.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

the SD09 after report is a disaster for R’s

The R candidate has apparently conceded, so that's a flip folks. Probably a 30-point swing vs 2024 per The Downballot, could be 35 vs the 2022 election in the seat docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

well then

Pew has Trump's approval at 37%. And: "Only about a quarter of Americans today (27%) say they support all or most of Trump’s policies and plans, down from 35% when he returned to office last year. That change has come entirely among Republicans." www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...
