Congress: prisons that want our money must consent to lawsuits if they violate incarcerated people's religious rights Prison: ok Prison guards: * forcibly shave a Rastafarian's locs, leaving him bald * Supreme Court: oh the guards didn't consent to be sued lol ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/lando...

Blanche v. Lau is devastating for green card holders. It means that if they leave the U.S. then return, a border officer can claim they committed a crime at some point, revoke their lawful status, and confiscate their green card without meaningful evidence of wrongdoing. It's really, really bad.

Academic freedom is suffering under the most censorial presidency in modern history.

1. A network of purportedly progressive super PACs, spending millions in Democratic primaries across the country, is funded by a Republican dark money group, the American Prosperity Alliance (APA).

Nobody is vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, and Trump knows it. This is a visible example of his corruption--a no-bid contract to some crony followed by sky-high cost overruns, and shoddy construction to boot. Classic Trump: I didn't fuck up, it was my enemies.

In this photo there is a Princeton University graduate and a Harvard Law School graduate. Michelle Obama is both.

He's lying. You know why we know? WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT HE SIGNED!!!! Here's the operative language: "The U.S. undertakes, together with regional partners, a comprehensive plan...for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran...of at least $300 billion."

none of this is true and the place where this is going is potentially very awful

Really great how every single media company is going to be owned by 3 white guys all loyal to MAGA. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Exactly

They are very obviously slow walking this. It’s 11:45. The deadline is midnight. Random construction guys are now defying federal court orders? ry www.youtube.com/live/aAhm880...

Kennedy is among the group of Louisiana Republicans who took Kremlin money laundered via American Ethane, as well as reporting for orders over July 4, 2018

Homan makes this claim repeatedly, but it is not factual. Local jails have a list of people detained in them publicly available on the internet. ICE agents can literally look it up. (So can you!)

Trump: conspiracy claim Welker: do you have evidence to support your claim? Trump: CLAIM Welker: evidence? Trump: ad hominem attack Welker: evidence? Trump: either/or fallacy as ad hominem attack Trump: more ad hominem attacks, storms off Trump: grumble, mumble, snort, stomp

"The Court’s behavior in the Louisiana and Alabama cases over the past six weeks can’t be reconciled with or explained by any coherent understanding of what Purcell supposedly stands for. ... The overall pattern reveals justices behaving in a way that has no obvious explanation other than politics."

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

The US has quietly deployed 82nd Airborne paratroopers to Israel, per deployment order leaked to me. The deployment is tied to new US-Israel joint contingency plans for seizing Kharg Island and carving out coastal territory inside Iran. www.kenklippenstein.com/publish/post...

What I saw inside Delaney Hall was unjust. It was cruel. That’s why I’m fighting to get an audit done immediately and improve conditions. No more taxpayer dollars to fund this lawlessness.

Pathetic. Trump is privately demanding his advisers find a way to reach a deal with Iran that TV commentators will compare favorably to Obama's 2015 deal, per the Atlantic. On the pod, @emilyhorne.bsky.social is good on how this perfectly captures why we're stuck: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

We’re in a very weird moment. Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed for three months, the world is running out of reserves, crops aren’t being planted, there’s no end in sight and everyone’s kinda acting like everything’s fine, or will work out soon.

ICE sprayed children with teargas at an Alex Pretti memorial. Core memory created. That girl will never vote for a republican. Good work 👍

“The Left needs to rediscover its patriotism” is corporate centrist speak for abandon any critique of white supremacist, patriarchal, colonist capitalism and embrace liberal mythologies that run cover for authoritarian exploitation here and around the world. In other words, stop being leftists.

Greg Bovino will speak at a white nationalist conference in Portugal tomorrow. He will share the stage with no fewer than five people who idolize Hitler, including one who joined a group created by two Nazi SS members. Another guy is a self-described racist who refers to women as "cockroaches."🧵

It remains baffling to me that we have a clear constitutional requirement that the president can't enrich himself on the job, something we had no problem enforcing strictly for hundreds of years, and then this sweaty conman came by and the nation just sorta shrugged it off.

Someone asked me the other day, “If Trump can just do whatever he wants, then a Democratic president can too. why is Medicare for All impossible? Why are reparations impossible? Why is anything off the table?”

🚨 “THE BATONS ARE OUT!" 🚨 ICE agents can be seen spraying pepper spray directly into a protester’s face — and into the air toward the crowd — during chaos outside Delaney Hall ICE prison. “They’re assaulting protesters in the middle of the street!” WATCH @jordanchariton.bsky.social LIVE ⬇️

NEWS The Trump admin has quietly instructed federal prosecutors in Miami to avoid pursuing criminal investigations into Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez, a longtime target of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, in the latest sign of warming relations with the oil-rich nation.

Was just talking about this on CNN and my (obvious) point was that there is no reason to give DOJ any benefit of the doubt on this. The burden of proof lies with the administration to show that it is legitimate — which they won’t be able to do — not the other way around. www.cnn.com/2026/05/27/p...

UPDATE: Mike Johnson said he has nothing to do with this dirty tricks operation. Which is interesting because what I reported was that it was linked to the Congressional Leadership Fund, the House Republican Super PAC. The CLF has declined to comment.

yeah you gotta willie horton ken paxton. have the party committees and super pacs run ads explicitly accusing paxton of covering up for a child abuser. “you love your children and would do anything to protect them. so why would you vote for a man who lets child abusers run free”

What we’re seeing is “respectable” conservatives openly moving to the position that the *only* acceptable form of Christianity is one rooted in white Christian nationalism.

New, from me: The self-proclaimed "Most Transparent Administration in History" wants to compel all federal employees to sign Non Disclosure Agreements. The purpose is to vastly expand the culture of secrecy in government, undermining accountability. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trump-want...

Trump hasn't gotten the strait open yet! This headline is malpractice.

Insane framing. It is not "blood libel" to write about the numerous NGO reports alleging sexual abuse of Palestinians in Israeli prisons.

🚨Last night in House Appropriations, all Republicans present voted to allow THEMSELVES to get settlements from the January 6th Slush Fund. I am not making this up.

As is tradition, the Congressional Equality Caucus has no fury at all for the eight Democrats that also voted for this bill to pass.

Fuck. These. Motherfuckers.

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

Trump is trying to create a brownshirt slush fund.

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.
