5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

Yes every time I find myself saying “they’re repealing the Civil Rights Era” I gulp and realize we’re actually quite close to going much farther back than that.

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov, Gov Whitmer et al: from here on the ground we cannot tell who was sent here for 250 and who wasn’t, they are all just occupying forces

Birthright: we thinking 5/4 or 6/3?

Yes, Congress should be able to do these things. A court this contemptuous of Congress deserves to be packed by Congress, not only to correct these disastrous precedents but also because Congress needs to show both Article II and Article III who’s boss.

Please remember that white Americans have historically been very willing to say particular neighborhoods effectively belong to black people, and even to site public housing and other public services in those areas. They’ve been happy to restrict new market-driven development to affluent areas.

just drove 3 hrs through pennsylvania dutch country and didn’t see a single trump/MAGA sign.

Becoming exponentially more religious the more it becomes clear that god will no longer let this man throw a party.

Just one of these dudes does the right thing and they could be the next U.S. Senator from Maine.

can’t wait to read Maggie Haberman’s inside account of this night in 3 years

i hope media executives are taking note of the tens of thousands of people who for several hours on a friday night have stayed glued to livestreams of scaffolding being built just so they could witness his name getting knocked off a building

78k people tuning in just before midnight on a Friday night

I hope he realizes that there are more people watching this than his inauguration(s).

Reuters: US JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO REINSTALL SIGNS, EXHIBITS IT REMOVED FROM NATIONAL PARKS DISCUSSING TOPICS LIKE SLAVERY, CLIMATE CHANGE

Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US

Almost makes me feel bad for poor JD who wants to be president so bad and thought surely the president being obviously and severely implicated in gross pedophile sex trafficking ring would get him removed from office and yet…

You know they voted for Sanders in 2016 just because they don't like women, right?

Platner very much is a discernible type, but it’s not “flawed but basically decent working class joe.” It’s “prep school creep with a sadistic streak and an ironclad confidence that it will never catch up to him.“

So you’re saying there’s a chance to force Vance to destroy his career by casting the tie breaking vote to continue the Iran War?

It’s almost like the US providing aid to other countries to help solve problems helps us too.

Rubio had no trouble saying who won at the time.

PEOPLE DO NOT FRAUDULENTLY PAY FOR INSURANCE PREMIUMS NO ONE FUCKING FRAUDULENTLY PAYS FOR THINGS THAT IS NOT HOW FRAUD WORKS

Ken Paxton is the closest to another Roy Moore as we're going to see, and Doug Jones beat Roy Moore. Talarico can absolutely beat Paxton.

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.

what happens when SCOTUS says SCOTUS reform is unconstitutional?

trump literally broke the scale of this graph on my data portal www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data

New @sky.skymarchini.net fear that the cute girl complimenting them is secretly a fed

shoplifting discourse is boring the real example of antisocial behavior in this country is how you stupid fuckers drive

key thing we learned from Virginia campaign Republicans are freaked the fuck out about accountability Not just Trump, all of them - including their billionaires, like Thiel They fear what's coming when Dems win - and Dems need to be ruthless about it

We need Democrats to pledge that they will be every bit as ruthless as Republicans fear we will be. This is the most corrupt, lawless administration in history. If we don't hold people accountable—with real, serious consequences—it will only be worse next time.

Kennedy curse can’t come for him soon enough

When we finally have the power to ban gerrymandering nationwide, it should be accompanied by quadrupling the size of the house of representatives.

If you like what happened in Virginia, you’re gonna love DC statehood

Teen births have “crashed”?? In what world is that a bad thing?!

hopeful sign when even people who agreed to participate in a pro-trump photo op aren’t comfortable joining him in trashing trans people

i'm still waiting on comment from Pope's MAGA brother that Trump called out as being better than pope. who ya gonna choose, your family and THE HOLY ROMAN AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH or Donald fucking Trump?

That said, there's a big difference between 'why didn't this person break the story' and 'why did this person *endorse the candidate they had a pretty good idea what an abuser*'. very different things!

mayo and mustard NEVER belong on pre-assembled sandwiches.

burgers are bad. so are foods that wish they were burgers like veggie burgers and chicken sandwiches. only acceptable order at a burger place is milkshake and fries.

Trump's three angry Truth Social posts in the last hour suggest he may not be too happy about Melania's statement on Epstein. Melania doesn't bother defending her husband. And isn't her reminder that Epstein didn't act alone an encouragement to look again into what Donald was up to with his pal?

many days in the future some twerp, possibly my own child, having just learned about America's mass of nonvoters, will quip in my earshot what could be possible if a politician could reach them. whereupon I will immediately slap them and shout "no, leave them be. leave them the fuck be."

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

What it all boils down to is whether we can get to Nuremberg this time without passing through Hiroshima and Auschwitz. It's really that simple.

Congress now has 2 weeks to get done!
