Oh sure. Give the DoJ and DNI several more weeks alone with the ballots. Excellent idea.

What soulless, cowardice and morally bankrupt looks like.

If you're tempted to call this "Bay of Pigs, but stupid" I need you to understand that the first Bay of Pigs was already incredibly stupid

This is clearly blatantly intentional voter suppression and any claim otherwise is completely unserious

The first US Cabinet happened in 1789.

If AIPAC is invested in strengthening the pro-Israel faction in the Democratic coalition, they would recognize that a Trump-led war on Iran in coordination with Israel would be *catastrophic* for their candidates in Dem primaries.

The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being “good stewards” of the money. In case there’s any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it. Taxation without representation.

Democratic leaders think they are minority party of governing coalition, rather than opposition party to authoritarian regime.

In addition to being nominated this year, I have work that appears in four total collections; three for Superior Achievement in an Anthology, and one for Superior Achievement in Long Non-Fiction. Congratulations to each of these editors and to the writers whose works are included. Thank you 🖤✨

I wrote for the booklet for this: vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/...

The guy who staged a failed coup last time is building a massive personal militia staffed with lawless thugs. At this point it’s just naïve not to see where this is going.

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland. Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M. America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech. This is what integrity looks like.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Here is Rep. Al Green holding up a sign that according to CNN's Manu Raju said "Black people are not apes” before Steve Scalise pulled it down

Bonta: I’m worried about the fact that California is a universal vote-by-mail state—many states are—and the U.S. Postal Service is an entity of the federal government. Could ballots be seized while on their way before they’re counted?

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Authoritarianism is rising because our democracy was failing before Trump. When pro-democracy forces take back power, we can’t just restore the status quo. We need to change a political system that gives oligarchs a veto over working people. We need a new democracy.

when the justice department reveals itself to be untrustworthy, then surprise! the courts no longer trust the justice department: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Rep. Al Green was holding a sign that reads "Black People Aren't Apes" at the #SOTU:

The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.

The grift that keeps on grifting.

I don't know that any social media platform is good for you but the stated intention of the owner of twitter is to make you worse and studies are now showing that he's having some success with that. This isn't esoteric, everyone knows it. So at this point being judgmental about staying there is fine

Ouch.

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

Truly a mystery

Interesting post about the coordinated anti-AOC smear campaign. It's 2016 again! Fake local news outlets on Facebook getting picked up until eventually it winds up in the Washington Post.

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court three-judge panel DENIES republican motion for a preliminary injunction to block Utah's new congressional map from going in to effect. The new map will stand for the 2026 midterms. Democrats will likely gain 1 seat! www.democracydocket.com/cases/utah-c...

The source is lost to time, but this is one of the funniest photos ever taken

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Breaking MS NOW: An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits. Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.

“I’m just saying … bsky.app/profile/ronf...

also...like, not that the convo about staying or leaving isn't important, but I would like to see proportionally a lot more discussion of the need for Ds to raze X to the ground when they get back into office. 1

"In the first year of Trump’s second term, economic growth fell to a 9-year low, and domestic job growth fell to a 16-year low..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

They all just wanted in on it. “Swamp,” my ass.

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

😕🇺🇸

By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.

It's interesting that the angriest and most indignant opinions pushing back on this bullshit are coming from some of the oldest judges. I could speculate on several possible explanations. But I'm glad they're doing it.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

I'm pretty sure there's not

But placing him above the law by granting immunity and letting him wiggle out of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is totally cool.

Turns out there’s an economic cost to everyone hating us.

Do not let Brett Kavanaugh's increasingly reactionary politics distract you from the simpler fact that Brett Kavanaugh is a dullard and a shitty writer whose colleagues all (albeit for different reasons) very obviously have nothing but contempt for him
