How ironic is it to have Clarence, of all the SCJs to be telling Americans, who incidentally have eyes and ears, to be thankful for the Constitution. trump shits himself, and Clarence lets his aids use it to wipes his ass. Under this court, the Constitution has become toilet paper #USDemocracy

A 6-year-old with leukemia missed his doctor’s appointment after ICE detained him and his family for nearly a month. His health worsens each day in the Dilley facility. This is appalling! #MeltICE

Your honor, The People accept this juror.

The Department of Transportation inspector general is reviewing our complaint about Secretary Duffy's participation in a reality show sponsored by companies regulated by the department.

We are not going back. Period. #VotingRights

NEGUSE: My understanding is a no bid contract is reserved for situations involving serious injury. What's the injury w/the reflecting pool? BURGUM: 19 fountains didn't work NEGUSE: That's the serious injury!? And who picked this company? Trump said 'I have a guy who's unbelievable at doing pools'

I wish someone would corner these chuds on "only when the sun shines or the wind blows." It's spectacularly embarrassing that the ENERGY secretary doesn't know how storage batteries work.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

DEAR RESTAURANTS: Your servers are not volunteers. If you can't afford to pay them more than 2.13% of what you charge, you can't afford to run a business. Thank you!

This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

The Purcell Principle means it always too late for courts to fix something racist and never too late for states to do something racist

AI writing is impossible to avoid, is making everything sound the same, and is driving us crazy.

Black Americans had more voting protections in Aug 1965 when Voting Rights Act was signed then today. Lesson is progress is not permanent. We must keep fighting to move our nation forward because the right will never give up on their goals. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/former-con...

The GOP Supreme Court's decision gutting the Voting Rights Act is about creating a permanent GOP majority in Congress. That is why every Democrat running for President in 2028 must be pressed to commit to Supreme Court reform/expansion. The GOP SCOTUS is simply an arm of GOP and must be defeated!

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

“The GOP redistricting…has to be understood in the context of Trump’s virulent racism & his regime’s ugly push to undermine people of color, deny the racism inherent in America’s economic & political systems & undercut efforts to right those historic wrongs.” www.americaamerica.news/p/the-contin...

EXCLUSIVE: In 2022, a Georgia grand jury investigated Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020 election. It heard from more than 60 witnesses. For years, the full record of what those witnesses said under oath has remained hidden from public view. Until now. www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-ser...

Four years after lambasting the Biden administration, GOP lawmakers are urging voters to be patient as gas prices climb over $4.50 per gallon. My latest supercut for @ms.now w/ Jack Fitzpatrick www.ms.now/news/republi...

“I live in constant fear that I will be subjected to further baseless detentions just for going about my daily life." On May 2, Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a Florida-born US citizen, was detained by ICE in Alabama for the third time (!) in the span of a year. And he's suing the federal government.

Just realizing that Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade's plot hinges on the idea that an amoral American businessman would be so obsessed with seeking immortality he'd easily conspire with Nazis and... well, good call there, film.

I'm not sure Trump ever got the gist of "Ozymandias"

Grover Norquist famously said: "My goal is to cut government...down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub." That's exactly what Trump is doing to our Social Security system. Seniors and people with disabilities are paying a horrible price. Critical exposé from The New Yorker.

Why the hell does it sound EXACTLY like Donald Trump?

BREAKING: We, alongside @campaignlegal.org, sued the FEC over its advisory opinion allowing wealthy donors and special interests to spend millions in coordination with candidates—while hiding who may be spending big to influence votes. The court must reject this illegal opinion.

A new investigation reveals Republican officials in Georgia covered up a massive forever chemical leak for nearly 20 years. The state ignored warnings of "staggeringly high" PFAS levels in drinking water in 2008, 2023, 2016, and 2019, refusing to warn the public or punish the companies responsible.

The FBI has raided the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L Louise Lucas. This comes weeks after she spearheaded a redistricting effort in Virginia, netting up to four new blue seats.

South Carolina showing its plantation ass. Again.

NEW: Investigators found that leaders of a prison gang in Puerto Rico were selling inmates drugs in exchange for voting for Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón, a longtime Republican. After Trump’s election, prosecutors were told not to pursue charges.

I suppose “Kamala Harris lost because she had no message” is a much more comforting thought than “Kamala Harris lost because the entire media landscape was inherently hostile against her and refused to let her message reach the masses.”
