aw man I sure hate it when operational decisions directly affecting combat on the ground are being influenced in real time by a foreign country. really feeling bad for the IDF guys here us18.campaign-archive.com/?e=2128a5bfb...

If you can clock one single sigh of relief about this across 32 national capitals I’ll be surprised

I spent more time on this piece than almost anything else I've written in the last year. Building a better, more decentralized internet is an inherent necessity if you want a functioning democracy. I hope people find it a useful encapsulation of where we're at. www.liberalism.org/p/enshittifi...

No, it didn't. open.substack.com/pub/besttrou...

Is there any evidence that the top-2 non partisan primary reform from 2011 has had a positive effect on California politics?

Mayor Mamdani I appreciate you repealing bedtime for the playoffs but then you gotta come to my house and do the morning shift.

🚨BREAKING: All I can say is this is fucking so cynical I have no words. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

To be clear: the lower court said the map intentionally discriminates against black people in violation of the *constitution* (not just the VRA) and the MAGA Majority of SCOTUS is saying "that's ok now."

they literally do not consider us americans

"hostile work environment" is chef's kiss (cc @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social ) www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1867-e...

We're gonn have an election where the tipping point seat is like R+4. Basically the Wisconsin gop playbook for the entire nation writ large, where there's a strucrual advantage in the Senate, the electoral college and the house towards GOP such that they can control all of government with a minority

#BREAKING: Over public dissents from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS grants stay of district court injunction in Alabama redistricting cases, clearing the way for Alabama to use its 2023 map.

As someone who visits NYC a couple times a year to see friends and family, I cannot pretend to be a disinterested observer here. Hotels in the city have gotten stupid expensive over the past few years and it’s nuts that more of them aren’t coming online.

This is so utterly insane I’m at a loss. But it makes sense if you want to turn the entire US intelligence apparatus into a tool for domestic persecution and domination. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/06...

another day, another story about the administration's war on knowledge itself, all in service of allow its corporate patrons free rein to rob us blind and poison our world www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c...

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

Axios is going to report a deal is 48 hours away at least once a week for the next 3 years

In the same way they say “momentum in baseball is just tomorrow’s starting pitcher” momentum in sports ratings is just who your next big star is.

Wemby is just such a fun fascinating interesting star. The league is so lucky.

I love Wemby so much.

Watch the Commencement forum featuring Dean John Friedman in conversation with Chris Hayes ’01. They discussed the upcoming midterm elections, the state of politics in our increasingly online world, and his new book The Sirens Call. (VIDEO) https://ow.ly/kXPI50Z5fge

yes!! prospect.org/2026/05/20/e...

JCPOA might be the most vindicated foreign policy of all time tbh

This remains so funny to me. Note the “last updated” line.

Had me cackling like a fool 😭

The success of @pablo.show and @minakimes.bsky.social are the two of brightest spots in broadcast media for me right now. Just extraordinary talents, fantastic people who’ve been true to themselves and carved a path. Media is laughably far from a meritocracy so it’s great to see deserved success.

Just saw Flea do a jazz gig in a tiny venue in Paris and it was MAGICAL

yup they're all there

a VRA map that recognizes discrete and compact communities and creates districts accordingly? illegal race discrimination. packing every black person they can find i to a single district crossing the whole state? colorblindness and equal protection thank you sam alito

(vanity fair, where he worked, publishes monthly)

Tried to distinguish our AI #WITHPod series by taking to boosters AND critics and lots of people in between. I got a ton out of this conversation with @timnitgebru.blacksky.app podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Glad @chrislhayes.bsky.social had @timnitgebru.blacksky.app in his AI series. I learned a lot:

It will buy you one gallon of gas by the end of Trump’s term. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

“The call came from the White House: We have to get this done,” the person said.  About three months before the Pentagon announced plans to lend money to Vulcan Elements, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in the company. @robert-faturechi.bsky.social

Chris Hayes on Trump’s shrinking faction: “It’s a strange, toxic dynamic we’ve seen play out in autocratic regimes and cults through history.”

For those interested, this probably would not have happened without this fabulous @chrislhayes.bsky.social conversation with @billmckibben.bsky.social on #WITHpod. So thanks to those guys! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Decided to calculate a cumulative daily total of the amount of $$$ I've spent on energy this year with my new solar (blue), compared to the amount of money those KwHs would have cost without solar (orange). 42% saved so far. More sun + sweet summer excess generation rates gonna explode that number ☀️

It’s interesting to think about Sonny Rollins’s legacy in contrast with the discourse around AI art shortcuts. Rollins was the GOAT in part because he relentlessly drilled himself, not just to get to a certain outcome but because that was central to the whole life of the artist.

TIL that the basic research that led to GLP-1 drugs was conducted by government scientists at the VA and NIH whyy.org/segments/oze...

Looks like one of those terrifying 2050 #climate projection graphics, but no, that’s a short-term forecast for France until… May 29th.

New in PN: @chrislhayes.bsky.social on thinking intelligently about AI "The power that comes from putting a finger on the scale of these models to manipulate political info you consume is so insane to think about. The biggest threat is that it just makes everyone stupider, which is a genuine worry"

@chrislhayes.bsky.social honors Stephen Colbert as the last episode of “The Late Show” airs tonight: “One of the greatest broadcasters of our era.”

Sean Trende’s piece on his son’s last day of school is full of joy and sadness and love and is well worth your time. www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/202...

Colbert is both a mensch and an actual genius. One of one. He and @maddow.bsky.social are the two best broadcasters of our time; truly in their own category. I'm angry and sad the president and the feckless suits cancelled the show but also know it's not the end.

From Kat Abughazaleh attorneys Josh Herman and Molly Armour:

So if I’m understanding it the outlines of the prosecutorial misconduct in the Broadview Six case is this. They tried three times to get an indictment. After they failed the second time they simply booted the grand jurors who didn’t think the conduct was a crime. Then they told the remaining …

there's clearly a massive scandal in these GJ transcripts. And the public deserves to know what it is.

I’ve covered Chicago’s federal courthouse for 11 years and have never seen a hearing like this one.

Trump himself being a good example!
