There is morality in secularity. There is love in it. Love does not have to come only from religion. The very notion that it does offends me. We are (most of us) born with the innate capacity and desire to love. You want to put your brand on that, go ahead and do that but not while campaigning.

I don’t want our politics to be about which stripe of Christian we get to elect this time. Enough. Bring back secularity and separation between church and state.

This question has been on my mind for 14 months.

Wow. If any races in Dallas County are super tight, this will be a huge legal fight as thousands of votes hang in purgatory.

The audience sits behind the Resolute desk, is my guess.

Ever read a sentence that feels like you're having a stroke

What we know so far, 9:30pm: 1. Few final results. 2. In NC, 3 Dems who helped GOP trailing. 3. Crenshaw, Al Green in trouble. 4. Dems close to a leg flip in Arkansas. 5. Cornyn & Talarico narrowly ahead. 6. Close Arkansas supreme court, tho redder counties await. 7. Fort Bend County exec ousted.

10/10 No notes.

I feel this in my bones.

I feel like we typically see these sorts of completely outraged opinions from federal judges a couple times a year across the whole country, maybe a little more often in last few years. Now, in cases stemming from Trump's immigration crackdown, judges are ringing the alarm bell several times a week.

I’m sure Toth is a total nightmare, but hahahahaha

The Senate match-up is now set in North Carolina: Roy Cooper (D) will face Michael Whatley (R) in November. This was very heavily expected, though Whatley had some competition in the GOP primary. (That's also the first result that gets updated in our guide: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...)

IYKYK and you’ve probably been following him for years here or elsewhere, but if you’re not following @taniel.bsky.social for all things elections (analysis, results, etc.), you’re missing out.

Talarico putting up Bashar Assad numbers in central Texas—winning Travis, Hays, Williamson by 50 points. Expect San Antonio to be good for him. Feels like an early-ish call is coming.

the phrase “more than a dozen pregnant children” ringing in my ears www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

"We have at last found a global villain who matches the bugbear — an ill-informed violent despot who seems to enjoy carnage for its own sake, & who has the power & will to project terror & violence anywhere on earth for any reason or none. That global villain is, of course, President Donald Trump."

Every night I check on the news and every night I remind myself “That fucker can’t live forever.”

I so miss being able to jump in my car and drive over to my beloved Indian Wells for the tennis, but also I’m not giving Uncle Larry any more money so there’s that. 🎾

Co-sign. Good morning!

every single psycho thing Donald Trump does he does only because almost every single federally elected Republican has chosen unilaterally, independently, and with complete freedom to go along with it unconditionally

Awwww. The world needed this news today.

just imagine waking up with a middle-aged hangover and no clue what you did last night only to find out you got cooked like this. I’d die right there.

*waves at the universe What a fucking mess.

Utterly fascinating read.

I picked up a stack of old cookbooks at a thrift store and omg I was not prepared for what greeted my eyes in the form of 1993 fashion and exercise crazes, seems I memory-holed that era of my life. 🤣

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections.

A little Elmer T. Lee and a bonfire on the first weekend that’s been without snow and subzero temps in forever…

I love this.

Genuine LOL.

Someone should 100% write a TV series about Neil Sedaka, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow & Carole King growing up at the same neighborhood in Brooklyn

Neil Sedaka was so talented, and he inspired me to follow my dream of being a songwriter. With love and gratitude and condolences to his family. www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-...

My two weird boys. 🥰

Playing up to the man in ways he understands by showing him fake newspapers writing about his greatness and using him being on that high to help out the people of NYC is a prime example of why he's the smartest dude in game.

When 74% of people over the age of 65 vote — and they no longer have access to print newspapers and don't use the internet — they rely on TV for news. Cable and network TV news may not be a big deal for anyone here, but it's huge among the people who represent the largest voting bloc.

Given all information available, my steadfast rule throughout adulthood has been to never vote for the Nazi. You do you, but that basic standard has served me well.

K. Stay mad, Fox News people. 🤣

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

No, I will not be watching the 2 hour Airing of the Grievances tonight. That man doesn’t shut up, we hear from him multiple times a day. What we need is a 2 hour moratorium on him running his mouth and espousing his every addled thought. I’d be up for a 2 hour “Moment of Silence.” #SOTU

Minneapolis isn't an especially sweary place but there are so many houses that have homemade "FUCK ICE" signs and I've had multiple conversations with parents about how we're okay with our kids using that word in this context because sometimes it IS okay to swear and this is one of those times.

I’m gonna let peeps be excited, because excitement about a candidate/race is important & necessary. But I lived in SE Texas for 4 years…and as promising as some candidates & polls look, it’s still Texas, and I promise you 85% of our old neighbors are thrilled w/this administration.

Traaaaaaash.

Thy literally put it in the Louvre www.reuters.com/video/watch/...

My "hot take" on the tariff decision is that Justice Alito would never stay silent amid a full-on SCOTUS food fight (which the many squabbling concurrences & dissents reflect), unless he was busy cooking up something else nefarious & genuinely awful in which he is writing for the majority. Sorry.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

My floor guy is coming over tomorrow to bid the rest of the house (he did the downstairs with the remodel, going engineered or LVP upstairs in our split level), and I’m going to rip out the cheap laminate on the front door entry, too. Was thinking hexagon or something fun, but maybe terrazzo…

Bacon, eggs, and Gold Medal hockey.
