“We cannot see our way clear to requiring Alabamians to cast their votes in the 2026 elections under a districting plan tainted by intentional race-based discrimination,” the panel of federal judges wrote. Intentional race based discrimination ‼️ #StopTrump #gerrymander #resist 👊🏼

Trump's felon-to-felon slush fund transfers to those who beat our police officers during his coup attempt against our country is a disgustingly corrupt perversion of our justice system and the rule of law 👇 Read more here: https://bit.ly/4fnhOCL #ResistTrump

Putin's invasion of Ukraine was part of his vision of rebuilding the old Russian (or Soviet) empire. Instead, it has unraveled what little remained of it. ICYMI CathyYoung: lnk.thebulwark.com/4wGo3HQ

Mike Johnson slapped with a community note

A total U.S. surrender.

Most Caribbean countries have restrictions on entry. Bahamas will only allow felons who have *completed* their sentences. A total of 38 countries will not allow felons to enter. #ProudBlue

Trump, 2025: "I've hired more women in my Cabinet than anyone" Trump, 2026: "I've fired more women in my Cabinet than anyone"

I day I saw the article it was clear that a league that is approximately 60% Black players and 9% players of color …….this is the sh** that Trump adds to our lives…….

U.S. citizens are not required to carry proof of citizenship in the United States. Ask: “Am I free to leave?” Say: “I choose to remain silent.” Say: “I do not consent to a search.” Fight ICE, fight Trump, fight fascism with constitutional and lawful advice: www.gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

Trump calling to skip Don Jr's wedding

Typical move from Speaker Johnson. The War Powers Resolution had the votes to pass, so he sent everyone home rather than take a vote. Cowards.

It’s good that Trump is finding his slush fund harder than expected to ram down the gullets of his ordinarily pliable congressional allies. It’s also worth pointing out the quiet role Senate Democrats played to set the stage for this fight. lnk.thebulwark.com/4uta3je

The World Health Organization has declared that an Ebola outbreak in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a 'public health emergency of international concern', setting off alarm bells around the world

Morning Consult's latest polling figures have Trump underwater in every key Senate battleground state expected to decide control of that chamber. Notably, he's down 17 points in Maine and 14 in Michigan.

The most prolific “fake news” outlet in America - where more lies, disinformation, false announcements, and things that never happened are spread daily, is the social media account of the president of the United States.

It truly is astonishing how many low character reprehensible creatures have been elected and appointed to the highest positions in America through the endorsement and backing of Trump throughout our federal and state governments.

Keeping this false narrative alive is a corruption of public office. Audits and lawsuits have already answered this question.

If Ukraine meets its target of 372,000 dead Russian soldiers per year, Russia would need to have a whopping $66 billion allocated to death benefits and recruitment bonuses, with only $4 billion of their military budget left for everything else.

Markwayne said, "He's the strongest leader of your and I's time." I's time.

Yep, and this is where I remind people about Billie Boggs

The Democratic response to every Trump crime, impeachable offense, unauthorized act of war, threat of genocide, deranged post, narcoleptic public nap, moral outrage, disinformation push, and/or election tampering scheme appears to be something on the order of: "How to the absolute DARE you, SIR!"

Trump is President of We, The People, and he doesn’t think of us at all. His rallies? For himself. His merch? A scam. His loyalty? To fascism. His morals? Bankrupt. His agenda? Stealing our money and pocketing it. Do better, America. Vote blue. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #Pinks #SheShed

Look, he's not even pretending at this point. He DOES NOT CARE if you can't afford anything or get by because of his war. And this war wasn't even about the threat of Iran having nuclear weapons because there was NO imminent threat.

Can we have a conversation about setting some minimum standards for political leadership?

'Move over, Greenland': WSJ mocks Trump's ill-advised new conquest obsession #RawStory

ProPublica identified 155 counties in the Deep South with private schools that opened as likely segregation academies. One in Amite County, Mississippi, has never — over nearly 30 years of surveys — reported enrolling more than one Black student. (Published Dec. 2024)

You want stats showing Trump is a racist? Check this out: link.motherjones.com/public/45532...

The racism is the point.

Over at “One First,” I wrote about how the redistricting chaos we’re seeing in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Virginia is something #SCOTUS *chose,* and how it belies both the entire purpose of the “Purcell principle” and the Court’s claim that it’s staying out of the political process:

Anyone out there unclear how well the United States would be doing economically without California and New York?

Trump is negotiating from a position of weakness He is the Tuna flailing around in the boat with a huge hook in its mouth You can’t keep posting veiled threats and then follow it with happy talk He has no meat on the bone And the bones he is holding are chicken bones What a mess

one day, this constant, endless, exhausting, humiliating horseshit is just going to stop and it will never start again.
