Oh man, they know they’ve lost. Going full J.D. Vance.

When the U.S. House passed the SAVE Act last year, historians told us it was Congress’ worst attack on voting rights ever. Well, this week the House approved an even worse one. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In 2022, the figure skater Alysa Liu retired at sixteen years old. Now she’s back at the 2026 Winter Olympics with a newfound confidence and sense of control—in her skating and in her life. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/VVWNpC

Local officials must reject these plans & local citizens must pressure them hard to stop this obscene MI

Jeffries on VA's new proposed map: "When they go low, we strike back. That's the D approach and Rs are feeling it now ... Trump is the one who instructed 5 different R states to gerrymander. He wanted to rig the midterms and didn't think Democrats were going to forcefully respond. He got that wrong"

A young violinist was nervous about meeting with Jeffrey Epstein due to his 2008 child sex abuse conviction. Epstein reassured her by noting his friendship with @bardcollege.bsky.social’s Leon Botstein, and set up a dinner between Botstein and the musician. She soon became one of Epstein’s victims.

keep 'em coming, barkeep

The @bostonglobe.com opinion page this morning is headlined by white supremacist Richard Hanania, whose racist views have been smoothed over in recent months by centrists

For my money, the way thousands of regular people are self-organizing to resist data centers is one of the most cautiously hopeful stories going right now. www.themountaineer.com/news/no-cryp...

The Epstein stuff is just the most obvious manifestation of the rot. It runs throughout our system now. Any 2028 presidential hopeful who doesn't have a plan to address this maldistribution of wealth and power doesn't deserve a second of anyone's time or attention.

It’s sinking the country. And Rs just keep giving tax breaks to the rich. Americans need to wake up & send Rs packing.

Musk is a malevolent force in American life, driven by white nationalism and incredibly influential given his obscene wealth. He's a supervillain. But people get that. He's deeply unpopular, with an approval rating in the mid-30s with Trump. We just need political leaders willing to take him on.

I honestly have almost as much contempt for dem leaders as I do for MAGA and Republicans. This fucker needs to STEP DOWN. They act like they’re powerless, yet somehow R’s always get enough votes to pass whatever they want. Look at how much McConnell was able to stifle Obama. Dems are just complicit.

I was a Republican. Even I do not believe this. Common Sense and the Republican Party have split up more often than Trump has with wives.

Let’s #chuckchuck folks He needs to be replaced as leader Chuck is on the record saying his job in congress is to preserve aid to Israel, so he’s not going to take any strong stand to risk that goal - including protecting our democracy He’s enmeshed in our oligarchy bsky.app/profile/okay...

Time to retire. Great grandpa of the democrats is to far out of touch. His hopes are hyperbolic and he doesn’t represent our best interests. Like most of them he answers to $$$, not normal constituents.

medical miracle: this 75 year old man was born yesterday

"Half the country thinks—" Stop right there. Some politicians, media figures, and influencers might, but they're nowhere close to half. Good piece by @dennycarter.bsky.social about efforts to make TPUSA halftime, the Melania movie, etc appear popular so that people think America's evenly divided.

Wrote about the Turning Point USA Super Bowl halftime show and the Melania movie as the latest in a larger project to make the American right *seem* far more popular and culturally relevant than it actually is. badfaithtimes.com/nothing-real...

Rep. Robert Garcia: "Why was Mar-a-Lago a location where women continued to be trafficked from. We have questions for President Trump. And the broader issue here is why wasn't this investigated when these accusations were heard by the FBI years ago?"

some past “multicultural economic zones” you may recall include the Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the British Empire. while all of these had significant problems “no one will die to defend them” was memorably not among them

Such bullshirt, it hardly bears repeating. These guys, who gave them the idea that they are so clever? Their Nepodaddies? Honestly!

more than 4,400 times ***since October***

4400 times they have wrongfully jailed people. Yet they say that they act legally.

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

The reason these people have been attacking scholars and universities is that they stand in the way of the ahistorical bullshit they need to spew in order to construct white Christian nationalism

Honestly sign up if you can. I see the horrid shit rain of things he watches and clips for us, so we don't lose our ever loving minds.

“This is the Epstein Administration.”

Thom Tillis in on CBS still blaming everybody but Trump for the bad things Trump is doing

Retiring, going out in classless, dishonest style maybe hoping for a place in the regime? Maybe lobbying in behalf of tech billionaires? Goodbye, good riddance to another complicit, anti-democracy (is there any other kind?) of Repug.

This was yet another week of Trump ruling on behalf of the so-called Epstein Class. But it was also a week that featured extraordinary pushback and solidarity against his regime. Join us as we break down the week that was. https://youtu.be/oEyT9rwX59I

Of course they did. Everything they do is harmful & hateful.

Of course. A very Trumpian thing to do. These brave women will not be ignored or stopped. They rightfully demand justice & should have it. Just another indicator of how this admin is just a vile, lawless, uncaring bunch.

Massie: "Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration."

The US is creating a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. Trump's & Rubio's blockade is punishing the Cuban people, not the regime. We must learn from 6 decades of failed Cuba-policy & reverse course.

Yes, Senator. And just because they can. Meanwhile war criminals Putin & Netanyahu walk free to do more harm.

The legacy of executing protestors. The legacy of jailing toddlers. The legacy of building concentration camps. The legacy of embarrassing our nation around the world. The legacy of lies. The legacy of sexual assault. The legacy of destroying multiple industries, twice. Legacy of insane corruption.

This president's "legacy" is incompetence, malice, & greed. They're not trying to "take care of this president's legacy," they're exploiting this deluded dotard to push a white Christian nationalist agenda backed by the greediest damned people alive. To Sen. Thom Tillis, it's an opportunity.

That exactly is Trump’s legacy that Tillis wants to defend. Remember to include selling pardons, selling computer chips & maybe classified docs for self enrichment, abiding Putin & Netanyahu war crimes, committing their own war crimes. The list is extensive!

Tillis going to take care of Trumps legacy, while at the same time ensuring generations of his family that follow him will get as much distance as they can from his legacy. These nutlickers are generationally stupid.

‘His legacy’ lmao Donnie’s ‘legacy’ will be the smoldering ash of our democracy. If he and his spineless gop enablers in Congress have their way.

The Republican party choose this bs, with open eyes and petty hearts. They have no winning policies are proven track record of governance since Eisenhower. They do have racism and total bs that resonate with the worst of this country. Tillis is just as responsible for this nightmare as Trump.

No kidding. Softening the language only helps these fascists get by with their obscene violations of rights & laws. They are concentration camps & people held in them are being mistreated, humiliated, sickened. Where is the shame?

My law firm is now litigating 85 voting and election cases in 40 states. This is the largest number of cases in the most states we have ever handled at one time. And, while Big Law firms mostly sit idly by, the need to protect elections in court is only growing.

Yes, we should preserve western culture but not like this . . . ft.trib.al/DSEX6S4 | opinion

Musk is just a racist, privileged apartheid baby. Migration is the story of human history.

It’s time for new Dem leaders. Bolder, more focused on reform & good of reg Americans than serving the rich & corps. And get some damn good message! Approval @ 36%. As bad a Trump’s.

PIERCE THE FUCKING PARDONS THESE UN-AMERICAN CRIMINAL “INFIL-TRAITORS” NEED TO MEET OUR HISTORIC JUSTICE SYSTEM
