I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.

If you’re not already familiar w/ @boltsmag.org, it does terrific journalism at the local level across the U.S. The quality is wonderful and the stories are critical—putting Bolts in your timeline will make you so much more informed. Highly recommend. And rn following can help fund their work!

Trump is underwater on every issue and voters (especially independents) are fed up with Republicans working around the clock to enrich billionaires while refusing to lift a finger to make life more affordable for the rest of us. Let’s build a blue tsunami for the midterms: indivisible.org/groups

2/ As long as this short post is getting some attn, here I explain why there is no saving the American Republic without reforming the Court and breaking the hold of the corrupt six Republican appointees. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-s...

good reminder that ezra notwithstanding, charlie kirk was and turning point usa is a vicious proto-fascist organization devoted to harassing and silencing political enemies and glorifying violence.

"The Court’s order reimposing Texas’s racial gerrymander is best explained not by legal principle, but partisan preference and political power. The Republican justices ruled as they did because they want to help their allies." The MAGA #SCOTUS "showed its ass." @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social

SPLIT IN HALF? The boat was capsized and SPLIT IN HALF? I got nothing folks. Trials. Prison. Everyone. If you told me this was a psy-op to make me rethink my moral opposition to the death penalty, I would at least have to think hard about you being right.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Yeah, a House member needs to send up that impeachment flag. This is illegal, immoral, dangerous behavior — that is also likely unconstitutional as well.

Privacy stalwart Nicholas Merrill spent a decade fighting an FBI surveillance order. Now he wants to sell you phone service—without knowing almost anything about you.

At a time like now, when the US government is repeatedly lying about the data, the use of the Freedom of Information Act to get the truth is more important than ever. deportationdata.org/index.html

Strong election performances, a deeply unpopular President, a regime cracking and unraveling - 2026 is shaping up to be a year of opportunity for Democrats. My latest 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/strong-ele...

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

"Does this feel like or look like a well-run competent administration? It took them 10 months to discover that the United States doesn't grow bananas and that therefore if we tariff bananas that that's not going to bring banana factories on shore."

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Democrats can't hold official committee hearings, but they absolutely can gather in a room and invite people to answer questions and stream it live and invite the press to cover it.

If you're a Republican member of the House wanting to cash out either because you'll lose or be out of the majority anyway, it would be to your advantage to do so early rather than waiting until the market is flooded with Republican ex-congressmen, so to speak.

BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits. That makes 214. We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

Pretty much every article about the Putin-Kushner-Witkoff summit in Moscow yesterday fails to mention that Kushner is simultaneously accepting tens of millions in annual payments from the Saudis and other foreign governments. Seems like a key detail!

i'd say the midterm-level turnout for a special election is even more ominous than the swing

"If Democrats see the same shift in Congress next year as they saw in TN-07 Tuesday night, they’d win a landslide victory of 258 seats in the U.S. House."

a bummer for the Dems but the story is less the outcome than the margin. this a deep red seat that Dems came close to capturing. storm clouds and scary music for the GOP

I suspect a lot of House Republicans are going to retire after watching these results in Tennessee. Behn may fall short here, but the message has been sent.

republicans who think you have a safe seat: no you don’t

watching this w/o volume and thinking what an oaf you'd have to be not to see this guy as anything but a classic faux-tough-guy. ron burgundy as warlord

Rethinking Federalism in a Time of Trump – A Response to Tom Nichols talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/rethi...

As all politicians left and right talk "affordability", GOP commits to raising insurance premiums 200% or 300% for millions of Americans. See you in November, guys.

Throwing the admiral under the bus, i predict, will not turn out well for pistol Pete

Here are just two of the victim impact statements in the David Gentile sentencing memo. We need to find a way to start talking about the victim impact of Trump's crime endorsement wave. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Here we go people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

News --> The commander who oversaw Pete Hegseth's alleged killing of two boat bombing survivors is now likely to come in and face questions from the House Armed Services Committee, ranking Dem Adam Smith tells me. In this piece, I try to make sense of this horror: newrepublic.com/article/2037...

I see they are just making things up to justify murder. It was two men clinging to debris in the wreckage of a sunken ship.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! We knocked 13,000 doors yesterday and learned that hasn’t happened since Harold Ford Jr.’s 2006 Senate campaign! We’ve got 48 hours left to get out the vote and MAKE HISTORY. Sign up to volunteer via the link in our BIO!

And the fact is, as bad as things are, we are going to win. America has deep wellsprings to draw upon, hostility to tyranny is embedded in our culture and identity, and the attempted consolidation of an authoritarian regime is in fact already faltering and laying the seeds of its own destruction.

Trump isn't doing anything to lower costs for your family, but he is using the full force of the presidency to make himself and his family very, very, very, very rich.

Page 1075 of the DOD's Law of War manual, under the section that talks about refusing illegal orders, directly uses the example that "firing upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal." ogc.osd.mil/Portals/99/d...

Would the Supreme Court rule that taking a bribe for a pardon was an "official act" by the president and immune from prosecution? I'm serious. If Trump announced he was selling pardons for $1M a pop, could anyone do anything about it, short of impeachment? (Which carries no prison sentence.)

When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends. This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.

The diehards are starting to decide after much prayerful consideration with their beautiful brides that being in the minority next year sounds like a shit sandwich.

Next year, Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will hand $67 BILLION of YOUR taxpayer dollars over to corporations for a single tax break. Why? To "incentivize" research these companies did years ago. Let that sink in. YOUR money being used to boost Amazon's profits even more.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing. Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war. They voted to confirm him anyway.

This the way to approach the bile coming out of Trump’s “Truth Social” platform. Not just unhinged but desperate which folks should treat with mockery and derision instead of cowering in fear.

Professor Jack Goldsmith, head of George W. Bush Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC): "I do not believe that even the Bondi OLC could legally justify the events the Post reported." "There can be no conceivable legal justification for what the Washington Post reported."
